Tag teams that never happened
 

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?

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.

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

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
Yokozuna and Bart Gunn

These are all tag teams that never happened.

Renegade and Ultimate Warrior
Hercules and Zeus
Andres the Giant and Giant Gonzales

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.

Savage & Warrior. If it did happen, I want to see it.

Ted DiBiase and John Cena...

THE MARINES! :shifty:

They did. They were known as The Ultimate Maniacs.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPTtKb03Fzc - Their only match as a legit tag team.

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

The Big Show and Paul White :shifty:

Undertaker and Fake Undertaker :roll:

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

Michaels and Evan Bourne

Mysterio and Evan Bourne

Your mom and Evan Bourne

Evan Bourne and Evan Bourne

Evan Bourne Evan Bourne Evan Bourne Evan Bourne Evan Bourne Evan Bourne Evan Bourne Evan Bourne Evan Bourne Evan Bourne Evan Bourne Evan Bourne Evan Bourne Evan Bourne Evan Bourne Evan Bourne Evan Bourne Evan Bourne Evan Bourne Evan Bourne Evan Bourne Evan Bourne Evan Bourne Evan Bourne Evan Bourne Evan Bourne Evan Bourne 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.

Who's Paul White?

The Big Show and Eli Cottonwood - "The Worlds Largest Tag Team....with and without Mustaches".

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.

The Big Show and The Giants 3rd twin

OH MY GOD!!!!! I think i just jizzed in my panties!!!

Warrior and Savage were amazing.

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

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

Rick Rude and Mr. Perfect

Goldberg and Gillberg: The BLAH!!!!!!! Brothers

Rick Rude and Jake "the Snake" Roberts- Mustache Inc. :shifty:

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

Except...Creepier.

Boogeyman and Pappa Shango

Abe "Knuckleball" Schwartz and The Goon

Mr. Anderson and Billy Gunn: ones an asshole, the others just an ass.

X-Pac and R-Truth - The XPRTs

Kevin Nash and Kane
Stone Cold and Mr. Anderson
Rhyno and Jesse Neal
Kazarian and RVD
would love to see RVD and Sabu again

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.

Ric Flair and "The Repo Man"

Now there's a feud I'd watch TNA for.

Real shame that the Ultimate Maniacs did not last longer.

The Sandman & CM Punk - "The Odd Couple"

Iron Sheik & Scott Steiner would be a lulzfest.

Also, The Rock & Val Venis - "Rock & Cock Connection"

every tag team other than the ones that happened

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

<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.

And call them The Empire.

You mean the same Tommy Dreamer who has wrestled for WWE and TNA?

In fact, Taker wrestled in WCW before WWE.

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.

Undertaker knew Big Show's secret.

Big Show and Big Bossman- Whos your big daddy?

TNA would have my attention with this.

They were dubbed The Unholy Alliance and they had several matches before he was injured.

Also another one I just thought of Smash and Animal... The Legion of Demolition lol.

La Resistance & The Road Warriors.

wait for it.........

wait for it.........

wait for it.........


THE FRENCH FOREIGN LEGION OF DOOM!!!

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

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.

yo the XPRTs (experts) could work if they got rtruth and pac to be serious at all times....

Sandman and Stone Cold- I swear to drunk I'm not god

Tatsumi Fujinami and Ricky Steamboat - The Dragons
Jackie Fulton and Tommy Rogers - The Fantastics
Keiichi Yamada and Dynamite Kid - Before being Liger, of course.

For a stable...
Superstar Billy Graham, Jesse Ventura, Hulk Hogan, and Scott Steiner - MuscleMania

Jericho and Michaels
Samoa Joe and Taz

Marty Jannetty and Lance Storm

Randy Orton & Brian Pilman - We hear voices

Here's a mixed tag team

Rick Martel and Madusa Miceli - Models, Inc.

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.

Steve "Dr. Death" Williams and Dr. Wagner Jr.
La Parka and the Undertaker
Awesome Kong and Awesome Kong (of the Colossal Kongs)
Hakushi and Glacier
Vampiro and Golga
Great Khali and Giant Gonzales
Crusher Kruschev (sp?) and the Masked Superstar :shifty:
