The Smith/Billington Award - Best Tag Team of 2010

Named after Davey Boy Smith and The Dynamite Kid (Thomas Billington), who together formed one of the most famous tag teams in wrestling - The British Bulldogs.

WINNER- THE MOTOR CITY MACHINE GUNS: ALEX SHELLEY AND CHRIS SABIN
I have heard that ROH has some very good tag teams, but since I only watch WWE and TNA, there's no way I could pick any team other than MCMG. Two outstanding wrestlers, combining to form an outstanding tag team. Their breakneck workrate and their long, well-deserved run with the TNA Tag Titles gives them this honour. When TNA touts them as the "Best Tag Team in the World", for once they are not stretching it.





1st RUNNER UP - BEER MONEY INC.: ROBERT ROODE AND JAMES STORM
If MCMG have been Spiderman-like, Beer Money were their Green Goblins. Robert Roode and James Storm are not high-flying athletes like Sabin and Shelley, but they kept up with them every step of the way during their brilliant five-match feud. They also score extra points for their classic, old-school heel mannerisms.



2nd RUNNER UP - GENERATION ME: MAX BUCK AND JEREMY BUCK
That makes it a clean sweep for TNA. These two ROH recruits have not yet created well-defined personnas for themselves, but when they do, their in-ring abilities will not be holding them back. A very talented and athletic young duo.
