- Senshi is finally scheduled to join LAX after months of Konnan lobbying for his inclusion. It seems that he was finally able to convince Vince Russo, who is friends with Konnan.
I like it. Senshi fits their style and can be their X Division rep, makes more sense than Petey Williams. Plus though I think Senshi is decent on the mic having Konnan as a mouth piece is probably better.
I can't believe they haven't broken AJ's neck already. LAX is the hottest act on TNA right now, except maybe for Angle, and adding Low Ki only makes it better. Plus, the Senshi run with the X belt was disappointing, good matches notwithstanding.
Dean! Have you been shooting dope into your scrotum? You can tell me! I'm hip!
I'd rather they gone after Sonjay Dutt than Senshi.
What's the storyline rationale for Senshi joining? Will Konan claim that people cheered for Sabin to beat him because he's white? That's a bit removed from the the Latino revolution mandate for the stable.

Nothing screams "Latino" like the name "Senshi" ...
I like LAX just the way they are. As with any stable from the past (see: Wo, n), it gets watered down real fast. What's next? Adding Juvi & Psichosis? Silver King? ... Leave it as is, please.

I don't see how Senshi joining is any different than Homicide, they're equally non-Latinos, they're both from Brooklyn.

I thought he was of mixed heritage.
I mean, the LAX mission statement doesn't matter really. The group works with any rationale, but Konan's monologues may not work as well if he changes the gist.

Homicide is of pure Puerto Rican heritage, whereas Senshi is a Puerto Rican/Italian blend. Which doesn't really matter, but I tihnk attaching another face to LAX is just silly.
To those who say people wouldn't look; they wouldn't be interested; they're too complacent, indifferent and insulated, I can only reply: There is, in one reporter's opinion, considerable evidence against that contention. But even if they are right, what have they got to lose? Because if they are right, and this instrument is good for nothing but to entertain, amuse and insulate, then the tube is flickering now and we will soon see that the whole struggle is lost. This instrument can teach, it can illuminate; yes, and it can even inspire. But it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends. Otherwise it is merely wires, and lights, in a box.-Edward R. Murrow

You're comparing a "stable" with two current wrestlers to a stable that had like twenty? At this point I wouldn't even consider LAX a stable they are a tag team with a manager. Senshi now makes them a stable and I don't think you have to worry about them continuing to add stable members when it took Senshi a year to get in the group.
It's a far cry from watering down, Senshi is just as badass and intense as Homicide and Hernandez. Maybe it doesn't add anything to LAX, but at the very worst it doesn't hurt them and it does help Senshi who they've dropped the ball with.
If they have a 3 man revolving tag team, like the old Triple X, or Demolition back in the day, it would improve the quality of matches, because Senshi is a much better worker compared to Hernandez. Don't get me wrong, I like Hernandez, and he is good in his role (i.e. damn near crippling people) but from a workrate standpoint, that would be an upgrade.

The "cop killa" is a move that needs to be taken out of the arsenal. As crazy a spot it is to see... somebody is either going to die or be paralyzed when Homicide messes that up.
Senshi is better than Hotstuff. Senshi and Homicide are a proven great team. Although I guess so are Homicide and Hernandez now. Anyway this is an overdue move. It's just too bad Styles and Daniels are done as tag wrestlers because that was THE match for work rate bonerfication.

I read somewhere that Samoa Joe and Jay Lethal wrestled them in a tag match that was very good. Apparenlty, they did the Ghetto Stomp/Cop Killa combo Lethal and it got over big.
Kevin Kelly: "Mr. Austin, would you like to comment on Wade Keller's Take that endorsing the XFL hurts your anti-authority character?"
Steve Austin: "Oh shit, he actually said that? I thought the boys in the back were ribbing me!"
Kelly: "No, he really said that. Did they tell you the part about you sitting in the stands, looking all skeptical?"
Austin: "AHAHAHAHAHAHA. Yeah... oh man that was too much."

Yeah yeah yeah. But Hernandez is a BEAST and, as such, is pretty fresh and unique in TNA.
Him and Homicide are an awesome team with a great big guy/little guy thing going on. Switching the tag team to Homicide/Senshi means that Hernandez is relegated to wandering around in the directionless, overcrowded heavyweight midcard, or bodyguarding.
On the other hand, if Senshi stays in the X-Div, H&H can ambush Styles and beat the crap out of him -- then we can have Homicide, Hernandez, and Senshi vs. Styles, Lethal, and Dutt -- with Konnan and Jerry Lynn at ringside -- oh boy!

That was at Manhattan Mayhem in May of 2005 and it was the main event. Match actually wasn't that great besides a few sick spots, namely Lethal taking the double stomp/cop killah.
Ok, so I download most of the tracks except for the Austins ones and I have to say most of them are complete crap. Although, the Trish song isnt really that bad considering she isnt a singer. But, my god, Stacy is HORRIBLE!
