I know there aren't a ton of them to choose from, but I'd like to hear some opinions on this. My answer for both right now is The Miz and John Morrisson. I mark like a little bitch every time I see them, and I always enjoy their matches. Also, I think their two characters mesh very well, whether they are friends or foes.

What do you think?

I want Holly and Cody vs Londrick for wrestlemania. Mysterio was better off in the tag team division. Morrison and Miz's tag team existence is limited to IWC. IMO, they are the good atleast for now.

Lol the good. Santino and Carlito. Heard carlito is a member of the new group backstage formed by randy.

What group would that be? Also, I'm not really sure what you're trying to say about anything at all outside of you wanting to see Cody Rhodes and Hardcore Holly versus Paul London and Brian Kendrick at Wrestlemania (which definitely will not happen, sorry).

WWE doesn't have tag teams, stupid.

Also, Mike Mizanin is some sort of sentient rash. Fuck that thing.

The best is probably Miz and Morrison.

My favorite is London and Kendrick.

Honorable mention to Cade and Murdoch, though. I really like those guys as a team. Also, as talented as Jimmy Yang is, do they have to stick him with Shannon Moore?

So far, I gots no qualms with the Redneck/Reject team. And Cade and Murdoch are good. But, as far as showmanship and "kick it up", goes, Miz/Morrison is the top.

I'm looking forward to seeing more out of Carlito/Santino as well, but I probably won't get too excited about that until Santino starts picking up some of the pinfalls.

I hope it's named for both his cartoonish Italianism and his dislike for nude art.

Santino has actually been winning matches on Heat with a version of the swinging neckbreaker, I believe. It's generic, so I bet it's his WWE finisher.

The tag team that has been the best in recent weeks, in my opinion, is Jimmy Wang & Shannon Moore. These men have been fantastic, and are a lot of fun to watch. Jimmy Wang Yang is over, and I wish the WWE would mention that Shannon Moore was trained by The Hardys, because it would help him connect to the crowds a lot better, I think.

Paul London & Brian Kendrick are my favourite, with the potential to be the best, but all they do is job these days. I want to see a tag team match between London & Kendrick and Yang & Jamie Noble. Yang & Noble aren't teaming right now, but I imagine they have good team chemistry from their WCW days, and their gimmicks seem to blend right now. Plus, Paul London has brilliant chemistry with Akio, and Brian Kendrick has great chemistry with James Gibson. I swear, the matches would be brilliant.

The WWE has a lot of great tag teams at their disposal, but they can't seem to get them all in the same place, and as a result, the divisions suffer. Paul London & Brian Kendrick, The Redneck Wrecking Crew, Morrison & Miz and Redneck & Reject would make a damn good tag division. Also, The Miz has improved dramatically.

Best tag team in the WWE today?

I'm leaning towards Cade/Murdoch or Moore/Wang.

My fav today?

Definetely Miz/Morrison. They have such great charisma together. If someone told me earlier that Miz and Johnny Nitro would be tag champ, I wouldve said that would be a horrible pairing...but I really like the way they turned out as a tag team.

I gotta go with Londrick as my favorite, with Cade and Murdoch coming in as a close 2nd.

Right now? None. No one is doing anything meaningful at all. There is no Tag Team division, even less so than a year or so ago because Londrick switching to Raw has ended the Smackdown tag team titles as well.

Biscuts and Gravy, hands down. They're the only tag team that I mark out for once I hear their music..... I think most of it has to do with their music.
WWE needs to reform WWGT after WrestleMania.

I watched Smackdown for the first time in a long time. Didn't know Biscuits and Gravy was a face group. I might like them more if Freakin' Deacon would close his mouth while in non-monster mode. It's really hard to be a fan of a legitimate looking mental deficient. Really, they work well, and a monster face is fun to root for. But I feel stupid rooting for a guy who can't close his fucking mouth.

Also, they didn't do anything with WGTT last year when they brought them back. They're not going to be a magic potion to this situation. And I really have high hopes for Shelton Benjamin right now. He's close to the main event in ECW, I know that doesn't mean much officially, but it could work for him as a road to legitimate main eventer status.

I think that Miz and Morrison are a good tag team but with Jesse & Festus, Duce & Domino, Moore & Yang, or even Taylor and McIntyre I think both Miz and Morrison should go back to singles compitetion. As far as my favorite I have to say I like Jesse & Festus. I dont think they have much of an ability to change as far as characters go but Festus can move for a big man and Jesse has the heritage goin for him too.

Taylor and McIntyre haven't been on TV in ages. Not to say they're not good, because they are, but just saying.

They're actually on different brands.

As far as the tag team divisions go, here is what I think they should do with each of them.

First of all, Paul London & Brian Kendrick are being horribly wasted. For pretty much a year, they were a highlight of SmackDown!. Upgrading them to RAW was a great nod to their work, in theory, but since then they've been used like they were jobbers. They need to go back to the blue brand.

I like The Redneck and The Reject, but I think they could branch off and make two old WCW team variants, with Shannon Moore siding with Gregory Helms, and Jimmy Wang Yang finding a redneck buddy in Jamie Noble (which is pretty much the inverse of the Jung Dragons). John Morrison & The Miz should stay together, and keep Layla at their side as a valet.

Jesse & Festus are surprisingly great, I'll admit it. Festus' retardedness is what makes him work. Jesse is also Ray Gordy's son, so I expect good things from him. I actually think they are more an entertainment based team (despite Jesse's solid ring work), so I'd move them over to RAW.

Robbie McAllister and Drew McIntyre are both lost in the shuffle. Stick them together as a tag team. Have Drew culture, Robbie, and when Rory comes back, work an angle where Rory wants his cousin back. Robbie then sides with his cousin, and while Drew McIntyre defeats them in singles matches, The Highlanders win tag bouts against McIntyre and partners.

Hardcore Holly & Cody Rhodes are a bad match, in my opinion. Cody Rhodes should be vying for the Intercontinental Championship. Hardcore Holly's tag team partner should be Charlie Haas, in my opinion. I liked the little apprentice angle Haas had going with Holly a few years back on SmackDown!. The two would make a fine "no frills" tag team.

Val Venis and Super Crazy would be a great fit as a tag team, in my opinion. Val has a Spanish wife, spent time in Mexico, and speak the language, so he and Super Crazy conversing about the porn industry in Spanish? There is a filler face team right there. You could even have Val play his "Steel" character, in a way, to move away from the porn star image in the ring. Hacksaw Jim Duggan can just retire.

Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch are a great team. They should be leading the division as its top heels, opposite Biscuits & Gravy as the top faces. Carlito & Santino Marella are hilarious, and have great potential as a tag team. They just fit well together. Eddie Colon has a nice little team going with Eric Perez down in FCW, so bringing them up together as a face unit could be something. They can provide a second face team to make up the focus of the division, while Carlito & Santino make up another heel team.

So what you end up with is:

RAW
The Redneck Wrecking Crew
Jesse & Festus
Carlito Colon & Santino Marella
Eric Perez & Eddie Colon
Val Venis & Super Crazy
Hardcore Holly & Charlie Haas
The Highlanders

SmackDown!:
John Morrison & The Miz
Paul London & Brian Kendrick
The Edge Heads
Jimmy Wang Yang & Jamie Noble (The Rednecks)
Gregory Helms & Shannon Moore (3 Count 2)
Deuce N' Domino
Dave Taylor and a new apprentice (maybe Sheamus from FCW?)

With their DVD coming out, even though the stories are separate, I'd put The Hardys back together for another run, because they pretty much equate to tag team credibility. Stick them on SmackDown!, and give them the WWE Tag Team Championship for the first time as a team. A TLC Match pitting The Hardys against The Edge Heads, Paul London & Brian Kendrick and John Morrison & The Miz would kick some serious ass.

On a semi-related note, did anybody see Jesse's nose get splattered on Smackdown by Deuce? Yikes.

Cryme Tyme would have been my fav if Cade & Murdoch didn't fuck them over.

But I'm digging Londrick right now.

Oh yeah, Cryme Tyme was a lot of fun. It looked like they were about to have a pretty fun feud with Cade and Murdoch. I still don't understand exactly why they were both fired.

Sadly, I would say that Miz/Nitro are the best tag team currently. Followed by Yang/Moore.

Its amazing how far tag team wrestling has fallen in the WWE over the past 5-6 years.

I don't really see anything sad about them being the best team. They're pretty damn solid if you ask me. Always entertaining.

Personally I am just not a fan of Morrison's work, plus neither of them are any good on the mike IMO.

As far as Yang goes, he is a decent wrestler and has great spots, but why does he have to be teamed up with the reject.
