Just so you know TM 61 is....

When I saw that name for the entrance theme to that tag team, I didn't know what TM61 stands for, but I've seen it before.


TM's are used in Pokemon, each Pokemon has 4 attributes you can use in battle. TM's are found, and you can add to pokemon to give specific skills.

TM61 is called "Will-O-WISP" in Pokemon. It inflicts a burn on the target. I have no idea if this is relevant. If so, any correlation between the tag team and info below might be coincidence.


TM61 Info:
Its found in Battle Tower, Celestial Tower, Route 14, or Mt. Pyre depending on the game.

Its associated with Ghost pokemon, even though a fire move. It is purple flames. In dubbed versions, its been called Capitata and Fogonazo











Unfortunately, it is lamer than all this:

"The official explanation is it's the first initials of each of their new last names, and the country code for dialing Australia."

They were freaking called TMDK, and this is what they changed to, fucking lamer than "The Mechanics" to "The Revival".


All those like me who claim someone is destroying WWE from the inside. Whoever changed their name and Mechanics name, is basically pure solid proof.

TM really stands for "The Mighty" but they pretend it's Thorne and Miller to be allowed in NXT/WWE. 61 is the international dial code for Australia, so basically it's The Mighty from Australia who of course is TMDK.

I'm surprised they didn't have their initials be TM for one and DK for the other, like Tom Miller and Derrick Kennedy, and called themselves TMDK . You can't trademark acronyms afterall.

Of course you can. Acronyms are trademarked all the time.

The likely reason WWE didn't do what you suggested is because they didn't want the team to be "TMDK".

If WWE wanted them to be called "TMDK" they would have just called them The Mighty Don't Kneel, not come up with another reason to refer to them by the same acronym.

They're the best tag team NXT and the WWE has, and I'm not exactly their biggest fan. Their name isn't that bad and they're going to do fine.

The team name and the meaning behind it is fine.

Laughable that OP thinks a reference to fucking Pokemon of all things wouldn't be corny as fuck.


All those like me who claim someone is destroying WWE from the inside. Whoever changed their name and Mechanics name, is basically pure solid proof.

If WWE named a tag team consisting of two 30 year old men after a Pokemon reference, that would be far more indicative of an inside job to fuck the company over and make the guys look stupid.

I love the people that bitch and get their panties in a bunch about the name change from "The Mechanics." They were NEVER established as that name. They used it twice on house shows before completely disappearing for nearly 10 months and then started their run as Dash & Dawson. Dawson's nickname was The Mechanic, but they were never referred to as that as a team. The internet just ran with it.

Am a big fan of Gargano & Ciampa so they couldn'y have debuted against a tougher (physically) tagteam imo, hard to decide how they did considering they never properly got any momentum going but the one loved to gesture with his hands/fingers huh?!
