Tag teams that never happened [Archive]

So today I was going through my CDs and scoped out the WWE Anthology cds. Disk 1, the federation years. Two tracks came to mind that made me think of what would have worked with each other.

Mankind & Sycho Sid
It just clicks. Two guys who have mental issues. One who likes giving pain, and one who likes receiving it. Two people who if it wasn't for doctor/patient confidentiality issues would have made a team of therapists rich based on what they've told them. You have different styles, and it would work.

Animal and Crush
As a heel team. Each one claiming to be the anchor of their older teams (The Legion of Doom and Demolition). No one likes a glory hog, let alone someone who says they made their respective partners famous. Add in Knobs or Saggs, and you have a nice little stable going on.

Lex Luger and Steve "Mongo"
Of course, it'll be Luger pulling the team. It gives Mongo more credibility, and they could play face or heel.

You ever have any teams that never happened, that seems like a decent idea?

Godfather and Val Venis. 'Supply & Demand'

Heidenreich and Eugene as the superfriends. Two mentally challenged wrestlers, one who loves old wrestling, and one who reads poems. Throw in Snitsky simply for his interaction with Heidenreich about liking poems and liking what Snitsky does to babies..and bam. Instant stable.

did Gene and Heidenreich ever happen?

Stan Hansen and Stone Cold Steve Austin, or David Schultz and Stone Cold Steve Austin. Mean motherfuckers of their time.

-edit- either a tweener type face team or just a ruthless heel team, like Austin and HHH.

Godfather and Val Venis. 'Supply & Demand'

I'm pretty sure that DID happen...if not in those gimmicks, at least in Right to Censor.

Loose Cannon

Supply and Demand was rumored for the longest time. I remember reading that here I believe.

The rumors actually had that name too

Elijah Burke & Shelton Benjamin

A MAJOR dream team of mine. I was shocked it never happened, and it could have easily been explained when Elijah brought in Shelton to ECW. Two incredible black wrestlers, Burke could have carried the mic work, both could have done their jobs well in the ring, and Benjamin could have been the OMG moment maker with his incredible spots. I just don't know how WWE missed this money maker. Now that Burke is in TNA, I don't see why they don't bring in Shelton to make the team there and have them feud with MCMG until the end of time. Seriously, people, someone get off your ass and make this team!

TOVO Fact: Tovo doesn't entirely understand the BCS ranking system.

Mabel and Bob "Spark Plug" Holly
The 1-2-3 Kid and the Macho Man

Randy Savage and Marty Jannetty

Reason being, Savage was an ally of Jannetty's during his mini-feud with Doink The Clown in June 1993, teamed up at Survivor Series 1993 as part of Scott Hall's team, and congratulated him and the 1-2-3 Kid on winning the Tag Titles in January 1994.

I haven't seen some of this for years, a couple of those I've never seen. Their promos together were a fucking riot.

Wishbone

I'll go ahead and say it Goldust and 'Dashing' Cody Rhodes

Thank you, CSL. I wished Warrior stayed, so he and Savage would eventually become Tag Team Champions, if it wasn't for the feds putting the heat on Vince.

Matt Hardy & Christian is a more recent one that came to my head. It seemed that they would be allies against Drew McIntyre & Cody Rhodes (or perhaps even feud against each other), but it just didn't go anywhere. The idea of two tag team specialists who used to be rivals teaming together had me interested.

The Nexus angle was hotter than anything they could have done separately, but Matt Hardy & Justin Gabriel seemed like such a natural flow from NXT to get Gabriel over.

John Morrison and Evan Bourne

Since I brought them up, I always thought a feud on SmackDown! between Matt Hardy & Justin Gabriel and Christian & Heath Slater would be cool.

Jericho and AJ Styles would have been awesome 8 years ago. AJ as the dumb heel and Jericho as the mouth-piece and team leader.

Jericho & Miz.

Rock and Kane...not sure if it ever happened

It did actually as they were both feuding with DX (more specifically Triple H & X-Pac) for a brief time.

Rollermacka

The Iron Sheik and the "Original" Sheik- I know it sounds comedic to start (plus there was a 15 year diffrence in their careers), but think about the technical style of the Iron Sheik combined with the vicious sadistic Original Sheik.

Doink the Clown and Goldust (heels)- I say it all the time, Matt Borne and Dustin as their bizzare counterparts would work soo well together

Macho Man Randy Savage and Bob Backuland- I dont know if they ever did but they both use to "snap" in the mid 80s and that would have been great to watch (plus they were both great in ring preformers)

Side note, Dustin Rhodes and Big Josh (Matt Borne) actually teamed together in WCW, they ended up holding the six man tag titles

"Supply and Demand" would work better as the Godfather/Ric Flair.

Stone Cold and Mr. Anderson
Rhyno and Jesse Neal

I was just thinking, if the Legion of Doom is inducted into the Hall of Fame this year, what if Animal challenged The Core? It could be used to elevate a guy that has been overlooked and hasn’t had much time invested in them. David Hart Smith could potentially benefit.

Bring back Road Warrior Heidenreich.

Sting and Undertaker - Add Tommy Dreamer and it'll be a dream trio (the main guys that stayed in their respective promotions)

Blackjack Lanza and JBL - Uncle and nephew team, closest it'll get to be Barry Windham and Blackjack Mulligan.

Randy Savage and Brian Pillman - These two would've made a great Loose Cannon team.

Shawn Michaels and Ricky Fuji - The International Sexy Boys.

Marty Jannetty and Van Hammer

Marty Jannetty and Van Hammer

<s> Van Hammer</s> Pvt. Stash and RVD. Obvious reasons.

Oh, wait... didn't he get pissed he was only a "private" in M.I.A. and promote himself to Mjr. Stash? That gave them two majors, the other of which was more appropriate given the two... commendations on her chest, and Pvt. Stash was a slightly funnier name.

Anyway... add in Brad Armstrong (as the pale imitation of his brother rip-off Buzzkill), bring back the RVD 420 shirts, and you got yourself a stable and merch ready to go!

I want Regal I want Barrett I want McIntyre and I want Sheamus I want Mason Ryan and I want them now, British Invasion style but done properly.

03-01-2011, 08:06 AM

And call them The Empire.

03-01-2011, 08:07 AM

Sting and Undertaker - Add Tommy Dreamer and it'll be a dream trio (the main guys that stayed in their respective promotions)
You mean the same Tommy Dreamer who has wrestled for WWE and TNA?

03-01-2011, 08:08 AM

In fact, Taker wrestled in WCW before WWE.

Lui Kang

03-01-2011, 09:01 PM

Undertaker and Big Show back in 1999 (although technically, they tag'd once against The Acolytes).

I think they were going to call themselves 'Armageddon' but my memory is a bit blurry. Before the tag team could take off, Taker got sidelined with injury.

CSL

03-01-2011, 09:20 PM

The same Undertaker and Big Show that won the tag belts twice?

Jushin Thunder Liger and Rey Mysterio, Jr. - Although they had wrestled at each other before, they were never a team.

Schlomey

03-02-2011, 08:49 PM

Just watched No Way Out 2009 and the 5 minute showdown where Big Show and Kozlov traded off beatings to Jeff Hardy got me thinking that a heel team of ShowLov would have been pretty good.

Mr. Perfect & Dolph Ziggler

William Regal & Daniel Bryan

I want an Edge & Mix team up just so they could have "Rated Awesome" merchandise.

Also, Eddie Guerrero and Ric Flair could have been an awesome team in theory.
