Tag Team!!

[benji718]

Remember when top stars were tag champs, now all the top stars just compete for the championship belt. when was the last time Cena, or Orton was tag team champs. Now its just mid card wrestlers. The Rock and Mankind were top stars and still competing for the tag belts. I miss the attitude era!!

Tag Team! Starring Jesse Ventura and Roddy Piper.

You're welcome.

[Shisen Kopf]

I'd say Team Hell No are both pretty big stars and they were both the Tag Team Champions. Dont forget Cena and the Miz having the belt for like 10 minutes a few years back.

Two top stars teaming to win the belts is the worst. Really shits on the guys that are legit tag teams.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Didn't HBK and Cena win the tag belts together leading to WM23? That was terrible. The match was good, but that tag business was crap.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Didn't Cena win the tag belts with someone else he was feuding with too? Maybe even Orton?

[whiteyford]

Edge/Orton was the last 'main event' tag combo that didn't seem thrown together for two weeks before a PPV to kill tv time and make us all wait for the inevitable disintegration to ensue as they lost the titles. And that's pretty much all it ever is.

whitey voted against me in KoTF. His opinions are considered irrelevant forever now. Unless he makes up for it in the final, and then I won't accidentally ban him for three days because of it either.

I voted against cancer.

[Hanso Amore]

But seriously look at the last 2-3 years

Bryan and Kane
The Shield
Cody And Goldust
New Age Outlaws

All teams with huge name value that were at the top of the card.

Not sure the complaint

[Hanso Amore]

Feel like if the current champs were Orton and Kane or Kane and Big show or Big Show and Mizark this same person would be complaining about the middle carders getting buried.

These guys.

[Cool King]

I remember "marking out" when these guys became champion, as they were my top two guys on the roster at that time, and the thought of them being a tag team, and champions, was like a dream to me.

It sucked though that Edge got injured, but I was gutted when I found out that there were plans for the team of Jericho & Edge to be something big. I think Michael Hayes said it in an interview on Jericho or Edge's DVD. I always forget which one.

[Simple Fan]

Rated RKO was about the only throw together team I liked. Otherwise not a fan of it.

[Simple Fan]

I like the dust brother but I would like to see Cody and Axle in a tag team called Perfect Dream

[Mr. Nerfect]

Back before the "Bad News" makeover, I wanted to Wade Barrett form a team with Alberto Del Rio. It would have been simple: Alberto Del Rio has money and wants to be a champion, Wade Barrett wants money and wants to be a champion. As heels, I think they would have clicked well. Del Rio was golden in the ring and good on the mic, whilst Barrett was good in the ring and golden on the mic. Give them a run with the belts for a few months and then have Del Rio turn on Barrett and let Barrett go over him at a PPV as a freshly turned face.

[DAMN iNATOR]

He won the RAW-exclusive World belts one other time, with Batista.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Also, Cena and Miz won the titles 2-3 years back before almost immediately losing them to The Corre's Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel literally minutes later.

He didn't win the belts with Orton but that shit was awful anyway. Remember when they beat the Spirit Squad or Nexus (don't remember which was that, there were more than two opponents for sure) and Cena gave some terrible speech to Randy Orton how he proved to the fans that he can be a good man and some stupid shit like that.

[XL]

Wasn't that against the entire Raw Roster?

[Sixx]

Maybe, don't remember that so well. Mostly the cringeworthy motivational speech by Cena.

[Wishbone]

Wasn't that against the entire Raw Roster?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was. Weird to think that there was a time not so long ago when Orton was seen legit as Cena in the ring and not just a whiny little bitch.

[Wishbone]

Also, screw thrown together "main event" tag-teams. Outside rare exceptions like Rated RKO, Jerishow and Team Hell No they always suck and never accomplish anything other than burying real teams and beating on the still warm corpse of the tag-team division.

[#1-norm-fan]

Yeah, some thrown together main event tag teams have been cool but I'd rather see them try to build up the next Road Warrior/Steiner Brothers tag team that's two guys who are practically main eventers AS tag team stars. Though you'd need enough legit singles stars to resist the temptation to split them up as soon as they reach that level and make more singles main eventers instead.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Not sure if the Ascension will qualify as that, but they might.

Top stars as tag team champions usually doesn't work. They usually just lose it quickly after their main title match feud. They usually also kill the momentum of a great team to do this.
