This week on RAW, let Paul London & Brian Kendrick face The World's Greatest Tag Team in a #1 Contender's Match for the World Tag Team Championship. They go about ten minutes or so with solid tag team wrestling. Brian Kendrick is isolated by the heels, and Paul London gets the hot tag, and cleans house. We then see London & Kendrick work on double-teaming Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas. Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch then hit the ring, and cause a double disqualification, laying out London, Kendrick, Haas and Benjamin with steel chairs, and their the World Tag Team Title belts.

Jonathan Coachman's music then hits, and out he comes, with his new faceish attitude. He says that Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch will be defending the World Tag Team Championship at The Great American Bash, but seeing as neither London & Kendrick nor The World's Greatest Tag Team can be clearly declared #1 Contender's, the match at The Great American Bash will feature Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch defending against both teams. Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch then have a little fit in the ring. The Coach calms them down, then ruthlessly adds that it's going to be a TLC Match. Cade gets a microphone and asks Coach why he's doing this to them. Coach then just informs Cade that it's the mindless destruction that makes America great, and this is The Great American Bash.

A TLC Match between these three teams would be fucking phenomenal. I just watched his street fight with Michael Shane (now known as "Martyr" in TNA), and Paul London works some amazing spots. Shelton is proven greatness with a ladder, and Murdoch and Cade are underrated for in their bumping abilities. I'm just imagining the spots they could do, and it is doing amazing things for me. Honestly, if they let these three teams just put together 20 minutes of carnage, I guarantee it would be fucking amazing.

Either that or just throw the match on the Summerslam card and as the seventh year anniversary of the original TLC Match.

One spot I want to see: Paul London attempting the London Calling off a ladder. Vince has a ban on the Shooting Star Press, but London doesn't need to hit the move. Just have Haas roll out of the way or something. If Vince has balls, let someone take the move and earn something which can be played in videos for years to come.

Do it, Vince. I challenge you.

Too good for WWE.

Seriously.

Seriously.

That's one of the most depressing things about the WWE today.

Writer: I had a great idea!
Other Writers: We can't do it, then.

London and Kendrick, WGTT and the RWC could totally make the division worth a fuck.

If the writers cared to make the division worth a fuck that is.

Hence COULD. I really don't think they will, but they've stumbled upon the Hardyz/Dudleyz/E&C of this generation of wrestling.

That's exactly it, I think. The Highlanders and Cryme Tyme are both great tag teams with chemistry, but put them in the tag scene and it's a bit of a snooze. They're kind of the Too Cool and APA of this era. Both teams can be over as fuck, and get the occasional run with the belts, but it really seems like London & Kendrick, WGTT and RWC have the right kind of chemistry and prominence to be the top three teams of the division, and lead a revival of sorts.

That is if the WWE let it happen, as many have rightfully brought up.

Agreed, which is a shame cos the idea is a good one. You'd have lost WWE's interest at 'solid tag-team wrestling.' Or indeed any match going as much as 10 minutes these days!

Yeah, CT are kind of funny. The Highlanders are fun, though not great. But they do have some great teams to focus on, if they really want to push someone.

I always used to think of Cryme Tyme as to green to be anything more than a comedy act, but I actually think they're pretty decent tag workers at this stage of their career. The Highlanders also surprise me by putting on a good show whenever they are in there. It might be because tag team wrestling itself looks fresh whenever I see it these days, being the lost art it is in the WWE.

A serious gimmick for The Highlanders could make them mean a little more. Reveal that after they came over from Scotland several years ago, they trained in Canada under Fritz Von Erich, and their training was so intense they didn't have a time to familiarise themselves with Canadian/American culture. They're not brilliant in the ring, or anything, but I think they are surprisingly good workers, and I have a soft spot for any guys who use a variation of the reverse suplex.

In fact, I'd move both Cryme Tyme and The Highlanders over to SmackDown! and let them feud for the belts there. You'd also have Dave Taylor & Paul Burchill in the scene, which could lead to their skills getting polished.

But I agree that L&K, RWC and WGTT should be where the WWE plants its focus for the current RAW teams.

CT might be worth it in the ring. I haven't seen enough Raw lately to tell you.

...Are they even still on Raw?

I haven't seen much of them either. They haven't even been on Heat recently. To be perfectly honest, I'm glad, because last I heard the WWE was planning to make them into Cade & Murdoch's big opponents, with L&K just being filler. It really should be the other way around. No Cryme Tyme means the WWE won't make that mistake, hopefully.
