The Latin American Xchange, LAX

I really like LAX (even with Salinas gone).
Their gimmick reminds me a lot of the nWo and DX heydays.
And it is SO much better than the " Mexicools".
The Latin American Xchange (The Latin American Exchange, The Latin American X-Change or my favorite, The LAX) is a Hispanic professional wrestling tag team in TNA Wrestling, consisting of Homicide and Hernandez.
Their original gimmick denounced the repression of ethnic minorities by the NWA Championship Committee and TNA Management.
They were supposed to be street thugs, and they did it so well!
After they turned face, the group continued to stand as proud street Latin Americans, but dropped its militant focus.

TNA Knockout: Salinas / Shelly Martinez

Shelly Lenore Martinez was born February 9, 1980. She is an American model, professional wrestler and valet currently working for TNA Wrestling under the ring name Salinas as valet to the Latin American Xchange (LAX). She is also known for her work with the WWE on its ECW brand under the ring name Ariel.

At Bound for Glory, Shelly participated in a Knockout Gauntlet battle royal to crown the first TNA Women's Champion. She was ultimately eliminated by Awesome Kong. Shortly there after, Martinez began to appear as a masked member of the LAX, interfering in their matches to help them gain victories leading to an issue with The Rock 'n Rave Infection valet Christy Hemme, who believed she was a man attacking women, an infraction in TNA. However, at TNA Final Resolution, Martinez unveiled herself after attacking Hemme again, clearing up a possible man-on-woman violence issue. On the following edition of iMPACT, Martinez was given the name Salinas.

Salinas participated at Lockdown in the first ever "Queen of the Cage" match, which was won by Roxxi Laveaux. She then participated at Sacrifice in the first ever Knockouts "Makeover Battle Royal", which was won by Gail Kim.
