9 Thrown Together Tag Teams That Resurrected Careers
3. Beer Money, Inc
Beer Money, Inc came together in TNA in the summer of 2008. Consisting of 'Cowboy' James Storm and Robert Roode, both men had experienced tag team success earlier on in their TNA tenure. Storm was one half of those most successful tag team in TNA history (at that point), America's Most Wanted, with 'Wildcat' Chris Harris (Braden Walker). Roode had also won TNA tag gold as a part of Team Canada.
Following the splitting of their previous teams, both men entered the singles ranks as heels. Despite getting considerable support from TNA creative, something was off with both men. Storm had a series of forgettable feuds revolving around beer, and Roode found himself spending more time arguing with valets than anything else.
Beer Money, Inc. was a random pairing of two guys with a similar look and not much else, but from the get-go it was clear TNA was on to a winner. They would go on to become the most successful team in modern TNA, winning tag gold on five occasions overall.
Not only that, but both men were able to launch far more successful singles careers out of the team. Storm had a briefer than brief run in NXT last year, which is where Bobby Roode now finds himself. Without Beer Money, the chances are neither would have received the opportunity.
