i don't believe his allegations one bit to be honest about the racism and discrimination in the lawsuit, i just think that he came up with bullshit to try and sue tna because they didn't pay for his surgery, no one else in the roster has ever came out and said that tna was racist and discriminate.

Wouldn't doubt it. But his claims also come from the fact that Steiner's surgery got paid. So if the white man gets it done but not him, it's racist.

Using that "leverage" and milking it.

Its not really racism its just because Steiner was a much bigger wrestler than Konnan by bigger i mean more popular and more mainstream, TNA had spent heaps of money getting steiner into their company of course there gonna take care of him better, they've been doing this in wrestling for ages now so it isn't new, if John Cena got a hip injury tomorrow theres no doubt that wwe would pay for it, but just say someone like Heath Slater got the same injure i doubt wwe would pay for it.

Oh, I know. I'm only tossing out his excuse as to what his claim was. Point being through all of this is that LAX wouldn't have been any form of a major force outside of the level they reached in 2006/2007 till the eventual fall.

I'll give you both those and LAX as examples of gimmicks which have not been replaced, but not that they shouldn't have split them up.

See that's the thing. With a good writing team, you can keep a certain act fresh. Look at the Briscoes. LAX did not always have to be the angry foreigners. A good writing team would be able to find a way to keep them together but keep their act fresh.

And Thats wht the briscoes are stale nowadays in roh

LAX were over as hell, and far from being stale. They should've kept them as a face tag team. And them adding Hector Guerrero & Salinas made the group way more interesting. Hell Supermex was getting real over back in 09/010.

LAX (summer '06) was possibly the single hottest group/individual wrestler in TNA history (with the possible exception of Joe in 2005). I honestly can't think of a better tag team push in the past 15 years.
