A talented tag team roster to feud with made sure all of their NJPW matches were good and the two kept an aura about them. WWE has been a tougher fit for them. Looking forward to seeing what they do after the OG Bloodline vs Bloodline feud."

[4.0] "Sorry these guys were just not good, I do not think everyone has to be a 10/10 match machine to fit into NJPW, but there were barely a handful of good matches which could be scraped from G.O.D, they do not deserve the accolade of winning the most tag championships in NJPW. For longevity and involvement in some interesting stories they get some points but in ring they were duds, Tama Tonga got somewhere (even though he was never fitting of being in NJPW really), but Tanga Loa was atrocious."

[6.0] "Interesting and accomplished tag team, the fact that they are together made their faults and weaknesses have a really reduced impact. Not very talented guys but still able to have acceptable runs as a duo."

[0.0] "Everything connected with them irritates me. They aren't like some completely incompetent dudes who don't know how to do anything and interfere with any match, no. They have an understanding of how wrestling works, they have a structure that they follow, but they don't change, they don't improve, they have reached a specific level and just stopped there. Tama and Tanga are two idiot brothers who have fun all the time, don't take anything seriously, and sometimes make fun combinations, diluting the matches and making them look good when viewed in highlights. But this is not the kind of personality that I would like to observe. They don't grow up as wrestlers, but when they face other heavyweights, we see an extremely disgusting "equal" battle, when Tama's cheap tricks allow him to deceive really smart and experienced guys, and the disgusting Loa acts as a machine that can seriously arrange a tank battle with the conditional Ishii and defeat him in it. The cherry on the cake is a nasty choreography that kills all the seriousness that can be in a match. You'd have to be real wrestling geniuses, like Zack and Taichi, for me to have a little fun with these two clowns. Why they get all the privileges is the main mystery of the New Japan. But looking at how bad the tag team division is, you know whose fault it is."

[8.0] "Typical very very good brother and brother tag team. Both men are amazingly gifted athletes and while they may not be the best in-ring workers they will always (always) work very hard to give the fans at least an enjoyable match. Tama Tonga is obviously more interested in the pro-wrestling business than Tanga Loa, but the latter has worked hard to improve himself and become if not a great in-ring technician at least an enjoyable tag team specialist. Their only problem is NJPW shrinking roster forced several painful choices upon the bookers, one of which has been to effectively sacrifice the tag team division, leaving GOD to have meaningless title matches against throwaway tag teams. But when facing a proper tag team they are perfectly up to the task: see their excellent 2019 feud with the Briscoes."

[9.0] "You really do have bad taste if you can't take anything out of GOD. Tama Tonga is one of the best defensive wrestlers in NJPW, put together with his insane charisma in ring and off ring and you have yourself a pretty damn good underrated worker, Tanga Loa is the downgraded version of Tama tbh but even so he's still a great worker and for a tag team I have absolutely no complaints out of him. Could they be better wrestlers? Sure, but I still value them as the best tag team in NJPW over work ethic and charisma alone, it's never a boring time when you're watching a GOD match, and even if it's not individual quality levels of Evil and Sanada, the tag team levels of fun and entertainment are, in my opinion, better. Can't get a 10 because there are better tag teams out there, Usos, Revival, Young Bucks, etc, but a 9 is fair."

[5.0] "I assume they're mostly kept around for Tama's loyalty to New Japan. One 6/10 wrestler and one 4/10 wrestler work together to make a pretty average team."

[7.0] "Tama is LEAGUES better than Tanga Loa and it's 100% obvious. If Tanga was better I'd give them an 8 for charisma alone but Tanga is a terrible seller and brings their overall down"

[6.0] "A pretty solid tag team overall. They were absolutely awful when tanga loa debuted in 2016. It took a decent time for them to get a really good tag match ( at Power struggle 2016 ) and they really improved since then. Tama is definitely better when he does tag team matches than he was at solo. Loa is pretty okay now way better than his early 2016 run which was total shit. These 2 are pretty cool with character work but never do anything off the chart great in the ring."

[7.0] "They are in the top 20 of the best tag teams in the world right now, with no doubt. They work really well and had good matches in the past. Tanga Roa is a "meh" wrestler but Tama can carry him in tag matches."

[9.0] "Vastly improved as a tag team. I wasn't sold on them when they started teaming up, but as the time goes by they've been putting great tag team matches lately, such as against Makabe & Honma and War Machine."

[8.0] "improved so fast from where they were 12 months ago - honestly up there in my Favourite current tag teams - Tama Tonga is seriously underrated in New Japan as the guy can go and put on a hell of a performance and Tanga Roa is certainly getting better and better each match he does - together they have some really good tag team chemistry and put on good, entertaining matches added with the fact that the sheer volume of swear words these two blurt out in a match is hilarious (Its like a Tarantino movie there's so many). overall an entertaining team to watch and far, far better then they were 12 months ago."

[8.0] "Ever since their match with Ishii and Yoshi-Hashi, this team has done nothing but improve. Used to dread their matches but now I find myself actually looking forward to them. Can't wait to see what they'll do in 2017, especially with KES back in NJPW."

[5.0] "When they were first brought to NJPW they were pretty terrible. Tanga Loa couldn't work at all and was really just dragging down an already disappointing Tama Tonga. Their chemistry was abysmal and their 'creepy islander' gimmick was more comedic than it was intimidating. However, over their last few NJPW ppv appearances this team has been getting better and better. They started making better use of their tag team chemistry and have actually produced quite a few entertaining spots and sequences now. They look MUCH more comfortable in the ring now and have been creating much more interesting stories in their matches, especially when they were up against the team of Ishii and Yoshi-Hashi; the bruiser and the underdog, which made for a LOT of tension and excitement with lots of power moves, hope spots, and nearfalls. I am still very disappointed that they are the IWGP Tag Team Champions, but I do now see their value as a tag team in NJPW. If they can continue being booked strongly (although not at the top of the tag division, preferably) and continue developing their tag team chemistry then I can definitely see them becoming one of the more entertaining teams in NJPW."
