Worst #1: No Impact Tag Team Champions

Well, it looks like Winter has come and gone. The North defeated LAX at Bash at the Brewery a few days before Slammiversary to capture the Impact Tag Team Championship. At the PPV, they managed to defeat both LAX and the Rascalz to retain, starting their reign off on an incredible first defense.

Since then, though, they're nowhere to be found. Last week's Impact was primarily a highlight show featuring coverage from Slammiversary. This time around, with the Mash-Up Tournament taking up most of the two hour run time, there was no room for Josh Alexander and Ethan Page, which is tough because we're going to need to see more from them soon.

Though they won the titles and defended them at Slammiversary, they had a bit of a rough start in Impact when Alexander joined earlier in the year. Struggling to pick up any wins early, aside from their first tag team match together, they spent a few months taking losses to the ECW Originals RVD, Sabu, and Tommy Dreamer.

It's great to see them holding the gold, but they've got to build some credibility, and some dominant wins over the next few weeks would do wonders for them. But they have to actually be on TV to make that happen.
