TAG TEAM TITLE HISTORY

9/10/02 - Due to scheduling constraints, Richard Smoke and Dude were unable to make it to the Tag Team tourney to defend their titles. After weighing all their options, Michaelangelo and M-Dogg decided the only fair thing to do was to hold up the titles and award them to the winners of this week's tournament. Who would be the ones to step up when opportunity knocked at their doors?

In the first round, the team of M-Dogg and ICRWA faced the team of AleXander Bhatia and The Twisted Turtle, while The Gamer and Stmapone watched from the sidelines, relaxing due to their bye. The Twisted Turtle's Rock layeth the smacketh down upon M-Dogg's Y2J in turn 29 with a devastating Release Spinebuster at ringside, while AleX's Angle triumphed in turn 28 over ICRWA's Test with a German Suplex.

In the finals, AleX and Turtle faced off against The Gamer and Stampone. Turtle's Rock overcame Gamer's HHH and won with a turn 39 Rock Bottom, while Stampone's Bubba defeated AleX's Angle in turn 31 with a Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker. So it all came down to Stampone and Turtle for all the marbles. In the end, Stampone and Bubba defeated Turtle's Rock in turn 31 with a vicious Bubba Bomb, bringing the gold home to The Gamer and Stampone.

How will Richard Smoke and Dude react to their losing the belts without losing a match? Tune in next week to find out.

9/3/02 - In a wild tournament for the Tag Team gold, Richard Smoke and Dude were left at the end of the night as the last men standing!

In the first round, the Team of AleXander Bhatia and The Twisted Turtle took on The Head Honchos, Michaelangelo and M-Dogg. Turtle made short work of M-Dogg, and they waited with baited breath for Michaelangelo and AleXander's match to finish. But in the end, Michaelangelo and AleXander struggled to a draw, which meant that AleXander and Turtle advanced.

In the other first round pairing, the team of Richard Smoke and Dude took on the team of ARC2002 and ICRWA. Dude layeth the smacketh down on ARC, and ICRWA disposed of Dick Smoke, which meant that Dude and ICRWA had to square off for the right to head to the semis. Dude beat ICRWA, and he and Richard Smoke advanced.

In the semifinal round, Dude got the victory over AleXander Bhatia after a Pedigree. The Twisted Turtle and Richard Smoke drew out their match so it was Dude's win advancing his team into the final round to face the current champions, mick~foley and Medallion.

In the final round, Richard Smoke got the victory over mick~foley after a turn 32 Mafia Kick. On the other side of the tag team tandems, Dude went up against Medallion. It was all up to Medallion to keep the belts around him and his partner's waist. After a fierce battler, neither man could get the advantage and the match was declared a draw. So a rematch was called with no turn limit and after another long battle, Medallion scored the pinfall after a turn 51 Rock Bottom!!

In the match for all the marbles, Richard Smoke went up against Medallion. But in a quick contest, Richard got the pin, the victory for his team, and the titles after a turn 17 Chop!!

Your winners and.....NEW Tag Team Champions of the woooorrrrllllllddddddd, Richard Smoke and Dude!!!

After the dust settled, Medallion became so outraged that he layed the verbal smackdown on mick~foley and told everyone how it was him carrying the team and that he had had it with mick. Medallion then announced that his new tag team partner would be none other than ICRWA. Will anyone be able to stop that fierce combo next week? Will we crown new tag team champions??

8/27/02 - In the first round of the first AoV tag team tournament, it was M-Dogg and Spider Jerusalem facing off against Michaelangelo and -Gangsta-, with newcomers, mick~foley and Medallion getting a bye. Mike's Trish seduced Spider's 1E Chris Jericho's shoulders to the mat at turn 41 for the pin after a shooting star press for the 1-2-3. Meanwhile, -Gangsta-'s NWO Eddie couldn't hold onto his early lead, and M-Dogg's 1E Angle made Eddie squeal like a piggy to his Dragon Sleeper at turn 38.

So, it was M-Dogg versus his hated rival, Michaelangelo, for the right for their team to advance to the finals. M-Dogg couldn't get a "feel" of Mike's Trish and, after being hit with two stratusfactions, it was lights out at turn 25.

In the finals, Medallion's 2E Rocky went up against -Gangsta-'s NWO Eddie and it was the people's champ making short work of Latino Heat with a pin halfway through the match after a rock bottom. Mike again showed Trish's superiority with another win via a SSP, this time over mick~foley's 2E Taker.

In the final match of Michaelangelo versus Medallion, Michaelangelo cut a promo to show that this was his night and he was not going to lose. But Trish was no match for the people's champion, as she was looking up at the lights after the most electrifying move in sports entertainment, The People's Elbow!!!! So your winners and...NNNEEEWWWWW... Alliance of Violence tag team champions of the wooorrrrlllldddd, Medallion and mick~foley!!!!!
