Just like Beer Money vs. MCMG, this would rule. Gotta go with Beer Money, though. Kendrick and London were awesome but they held the tag titles for so long simply because there was no one to really lose them to. Besides, didn't they lose them to fucking Deuce and Domino?

They're just not as good as Beer Money. I could be swayed if anyone has a compelling argument for Londrick, I just don't see it.

An interesting first round match where both teams were competing around the same time. I have to go with Beer Money here. London & Kendrick did hold the tag titles for about a year which is pretty impressive, but I think the tag division was stronger in TNA at the time (especially since WWE's was split) making Beer Money's run more impressive. Without knowing any better just by looking at the pictures above I would guess Beer Money was the WWE team and London & Kendrick the TNA team. I admit I don't vote TNA over WWE very often but I'm going to here.

To be fair the only tag teams I can remember at the time worth a damn were Beer Money and MCMG and they consistently traded the belts back and forth.

Though with that Beer Money is still the better option as besides beating MNM and then successfully defending the belts in an awesome four way ladder match including the Hardys I can't remember Londrick's year long reign to save my life.

Man, I LOVED London and Kendrick. From memory they always had consistent matches on Smackdown and were one of the main reasons I was tuning in back then around the 05/06 mark. Their year long title reign is something I remember.. but unfortunately I only came to recall it when I saw this thread.

Beer Money were awesome too, and the team launched both Storm and Roode into the superstars they are today. The amount of times they cheated to win was unbelievable too, and I don't see why they won't do it again here. Beer Money for the win, but I hope it's a lot closer than people think, because "Londrick" were a great tag team and are severely missed in a diminishing tag team division in the WWE today.

We have an energetic team in London\Kendrick who held the tag titles during a downtime for teams in the WWE (god love them, but its true) vs one of the best things that ever happened to TNA. Seriously- Beer Money was one hell of a team that put on some of the best matches TNA had to offer. Londrick sure did a great job and were fun to watch, but nowhere near as good as Beer Money was. Roode\Storm were just better & will be remembered far longer than Paul\Brian.

I do like London and Kendrick- infact I am going to a UK indie show next week because they are there (along with the Dudleyz), and they always put on an entertaining match.

However, Beer Money are a much better team. Both were main event quality wrestlers when they were in the tag team, and arguably the best thing going in TNA at that time. Both are better on the mic than both London and Kendrick- Roode especially and their reigns and feuds were far more memorable than anything Londrick ever did.

Beer Money goes over here in an entertaining but fairly short match

Beer Money for me.

Storm and Roode are just too much to overcome for the wily Kendrick and London. The latter are very capable wrestlers, but I'd compare this one to a JV football team playing a varsity squad. Too smart, too strong.
