TNA: B.G. James ,Part 2

The 4Live Kru would be short lived as Konnan, still apparently upset at Kip James's induction into the Kru, bashed both B.G. and Kip over the head with a steel chair at TNA's pay-per-view Turning Point. Konnan, still wanting Ron Killings to be his "family" tried talking with The Truth. Killings told Konnan that he was done with the Kru and wanted to leave it all behind him.

After the incident, B.G. and Kip regrouped, reforming their old tag team as The James Gang and feuding with Konnan's new stable, The Latin American Exchange which he formed with Homicide and Apolo. Apolo was sent home from the Against All Odds PPV after complaining about being used as a jobber and was quickly replaced by a relative unknown named Machete.

On a recent edition of Impact, B.G.'s real life father Bullet Bob Armstrong informed the James Gang that he was sick of the shenanigans of LAX and how they always used strength in numbers to their advantage. He informed them that he was going to see Larry Zbyszko to have himself added to the Destination X match as their partner, effectively making it a three-man tag. A despondent B.G. turned to Kip James and comically uttered "Mom is gonna KILL me!" He was in fact added and they won the match at Destination X.

The next month an arm wrestling match was booked between Bullet Bob Armstrong and Konnan, where the losing team would get hit 10 times with a leather whip. Bob Armstrong prevailed with the victory, so the LAX got whipped several times upon scramming out of the cage for survival.

Following the LAX rivalry, B.G and Kip went after Team 3D, aka the Dudley Boyz. The two teams cut promos arguing over their long term histories with past promotions such as WWE and ECW. The rivalry came to a head at TNA Sacrifice 2006 when the James Gang beat Team 3D using a lead pipe. The James Gang and Team 3D would then feud throughout the summer. They were scheduled for a #1 contendership match at Hard Justice but due to a fire the match was canceled. The match was redone on iMPACT but the Gang would not win.

Over the past couple of weeks, B.G. has vocally disagreed with Kip over what kind of a man Jeff Jarrett is, stating on the iMPACT aired on October 19, 2006 that Jarrett disregarded his stupidity over six early months of his career and took him in (obviously alluding to when he was The Roadie back in WWF). He claimed that Jarrett may be stand-offish as a wrestler, but he is "a damn good man".

On the November 2, 2006 edition of TNA iMPACT!, Kip and B.G. James said they were going to quit. Kip James grabbed the mic and tried to say something to the TNA administration and Spike TV but each time his mic was cut off. Kip then tried to use the announcer's headset, but it was cut off as well. Frustrated, he started yelling loudly to the crowd but he was cut off as the show went to a commercial break. When the show returned, the announcers speculated that they may have been frustrated due to the influx of new talent entering TNA. It was reported recently that the segment was a worked shoot that Vince Russo had written in order to renew interest upon their eventual return.

On the November 16 airing of TNA iMPACT!, The James Gang made an appearance with the new name of the Voodoo Kin Mafia or VKM. They spent their airtime bashing both members of D-Generation X, using their real names of Paul Levesque and Michael Hickenbottom, as well as Vince McMahon. After several demeaning statements about the two were made (including calling Triple H "Triple Hollywood" and Shawn Michaels "Shawn Kiss-My-Bottom"), VKM made claims of declaring war on both DX as well as Vincent Kennedy McMahon (VKM). On the November 23 airing of "iMPACT!" they went searching around for their target, but they ended up arriving at a Target store. At the end of the episode it showed the Voo-Doo Kin Mafia arguing and Kip pointed in front of them where the WWE World Headquarters is. B.G. then said, "We're back!". As acknowledged by TNA's Website, VKM accepted The Hardys open challenge to a match at December to Dismember, however the WWE never acknowledged nor accepted their challenge. Over the last few weeks, VKM have aired several videos bashing DX and Vince McMahon. They also made a $1,000,000 challenge to DX as announced on TNA website. They declared 'victory' at the Final Resolution pay-per-view.

BG James was telling people backstage recently that if he could get out of his TNA deal and had an offer from the WWE. He said he would jump in a heart beat.
