Triple H Wants To Rebuild WWE's Tag Team Division
 
Quote:

As the head of WWE's revamped talent development program, Triple H has a lot of influence over which talents are signed and featured on WWE television. It's been reported that Triple H is serious about introducing new talents through 'coming soon' vignettes, as we saw with the first two people signed under Triple H - Sin Cara and Karma.

Now -Triple H is said to have his sights set on a new objective - rebuilding WWE's tag team division.

WWE is looking to recruit tag teams from other promotions, including Ring of Honor's Kings of Wrestling & Brisco Brothers as well as TNA tag team Beer Money, when they become free agents.

Regarding the recent WWE tryouts for the Kings of Wrestling (Chris Hero & Claudio Castagnoli), the latest word is that the KoW will be introduced as a tag team, not singles wrestlers.

Young Bucks are back on the free agent market.

Any thoughts on bringing them in?

Hardy Boys 2.0?

I personally think kids would love The Young Bucks. I've seen them wrestle before and they are fun to watch. I doubt they'd ever get anywhere but I'd like to be proven wrong.

My thoughts exactly.....

Chavo Classic 08-10-2011 06:22 PM

Sounds too good to be true. It would be a tremendous boost for the 'wrestling' side of the WWE. The Briscoes, Beer Money and Kings are special talents, but lets not forget that this would give some underused talent the opportunity to shine, Hawkins and Barretta spring to mind as the Dude Busters.

GD 08-10-2011 06:34 PM

Awesome.

I would be fine with never seeing the Young Bucks again

Hanso Amore 08-10-2011 06:39 PM

I dont think "do as many flips as possible" fits into the WWE style.

As as I hated the Hardy's, they got famous off of spots, but werent spot monkeys like the Bucks.

Skippord 08-10-2011 06:40 PM

I would like to hear the Young Bucks cut some promos

mad threatening guys

Hanso Amore 08-10-2011 06:40 PM

At least someone sees it. There is no reason teams cant get over today. They just need to accept that they dont need to split guys after 6 months.

I would like to see this work. I have no faith.

Chavo Classic 08-10-2011 06:41 PM

The Bucks look about as threatening as a gaggle of baby geese. They don't have anything close to 'the look', so they won't get a chance.

CSL 08-10-2011 06:41 PM

Briscoe's could do a job (literally) as heels, make some other teams look good. KOW could do really well if this is for real, Beer Money are great, MCMG would probably jump at the chance and could get over big time with the "WWE audience", there's bound to be a couple of winning combinations that could wound up pairing off that are already under contract, once they get bored of Truth's current schtick, bring up Austin/Consequences Creed for Truth or Consequences (hur hur) blah blah blah

Hanso Amore 08-10-2011 06:41 PM

I could see Beer Money being big in the WWE. In the Outlaws mold. Just seems like fans could really get behind them.

They are about the only thing I like in TNA

Hanso Amore 08-10-2011 06:43 PM

Sadly I think a key to getting a new team over is a Killer finisher to WOW fans out of the gate. It has worked for Bourne.

They need to steal a show to get the ball rolling, because in this climate you KNOW Creative isnt going to get a team over.

How they dropped the ball with the Harts is beyond me.

Skippord 08-10-2011 06:44 PM

CSL 08-10-2011 06:49 PM

there's a difference between building towards something with flips included and doing flips in a random order no matter how many times he fucks up

Chavo Classic 08-10-2011 06:54 PM

Gertner 08-10-2011 07:10 PM

Meh, it's tag team wrestling.

Bring it on. Diverse product is the best thing. The women are shit to watch and it's either a good time to get up and go for a piss (thus meaning in theory you wont miss the rest of the product) or good wank material. Either way, they serve a purpose.

Tag Teams would be good to break up the run of the mill shit and give some cred to what can be a decent division. I used to love the old TT division with E&C, The Hardy's, Dudley's etc.

I love 'main event' tag teams like Rated RKO, Power Trip and Jerishow so if they did that I'd be interested, throwing a couple of jobbers together to make teams aint gonna get ppl watching though.

Loose Cannon 08-10-2011 09:19 PM

not right away, but if you build them and give them a good push, then yea it will get people watching.

How could they ever get a real tag team division off the ground if all they're doing is using ME'ers?

Ruien 08-10-2011 09:27 PM

But having at least one or two tag teams of veterans will help the division get over quicker.

Juan 08-10-2011 09:28 PM

I'd be fine with 1 or 2, but I don't think you can "rebuild" the division by using all ME'ers

This is glorious.... KOW, Beer Money, and The Briscoes, holy shit!

What real tag teams do they have though, I mean fuck, I wouldnt be surprised to see them split up the Usos and give one of them a push, even though there is no Shawn Michaels or Marty Jannetty of the team...

Ruien 08-10-2011 09:38 PM

Well lets see.

Nexus
The Corre
Drew McIntyre/Jack Swagger
Kofi Kingston/Daniel Bryan
Alex Riley/John Morrison

Kind of hard to get any face tag teams that seem like they will fit together well. John Morrison would make it relevant while helping Alex Riley develop (Along with hiding John Morrison on the mic).

How many legit (Non-jobber) teams will it take to reform the tag team division properly?

Lock Jaw 08-10-2011 10:37 PM

Everybody. Have Triple H decree that everybody has to have a tag team partner. You can either pick your own, or else you'll be entered into a LETHAL LOTTERY to find out who your partner is.

Ruien 08-10-2011 10:38 PM

As weird as that sounds it would be quiet enjoyable for a few weeks.

Emperor Smeat 08-10-2011 10:39 PM

Hopefully if they are serious about rebuilding the tag division it doesn't get dropped again once creative looses interest or the WWE shifts back to just main eventers as the focus.

Although at least the worst case scenario would guarantee a short period of good tag team wrestling similar to when the WWE tried to be as good as the Knockouts in TNA which led to a short period of quality women's matches until they lost interest again (also dropping Finley as in charge of the division).

I remember London and Kendrick owning the record for most time in the brand split era with the tag belts but never were used to help rebuild the division even on the weaker Smackdown show.

Juan 08-10-2011 10:39 PM

I kinda hope they don't acknowledge the revamping of the tag division and try to make some angle out of it. Just do it and shut up

There hasn't been any official announcment or anything, but it's been reported/speculated that they have indeed signed a deal. They're supposed to bypass developmental and everything

KoW teaming up with Punk is obvious. But the promo's would be sick as hell.

Mr. Nerfect 08-11-2011 05:27 AM

This doesn't surprise me. As a wrestler, Triple H probably really appreciates how great tag team matches can be for as crowd-warmers and such. The Briscoes would be an interesting team in the WWE -- I can see them working as redneck babyface that you sort of want to get behind, because they take a beating and keep smiling. Honestly, I wouldn't mind it if Mick Foley brought them in as an on-air pet project, or something.

The Kings of Wrestling would be great, and I'd love it if they essentially stayed exactly the same as they are. Both guys have personalities which work fine. Even have them use that dirty word "Wrestling." I could see them being like Chris Jericho when he first showed up -- presented as a heel, but too over to stay that way for long.

Los Aviadores are long overdue for a call-up. I think the only reason they haven't been is because the WWE doesn't want too many guys with masks on the WWE roster. But you have them show up in a six-man tag with Rey Mysterio against The Miz, Michael McGillicutty & David Otunga, and I guarantee they will be over in no time.

You've got Bo Rotundo and Husky Harris in FCW -- so why not bring them up as a tag team? They could even work a nice babyface style, with Bo taking the beat-down, and tagging in big Husky for the finish -- although they seem like they could work equally well as heels.

That's just scraping the bottom of the barrel. You could create some great tag teams using the FCW and main WWE roster. Personally, an idea I've wanted to see lately is Pryme Tyme -- a heel combition of Primo and JTG -- with Primo teaching JTG that "gangster" is in the soul, and not in the way you dress -- leading to them adopting matching attire and cheating their asses off while flying around the ring.

You could also give Curt Hawkins a random heel partner to take on Zack Ryder and a babyface partner, with Hawkins costing Ryder and his partner a match against McGillicutty & Otunga -- feeling betrayed that Ryder has been looking for other allies. If you don't go with Primo & JTG, I'd suggest the team of Primo & Hawkins -- two former "bros" of Ryder, feeling that they have been left behind while Ryder has gone onto bigger things.

Mr. Nerfect 08-11-2011 05:46 AM

Yeah, you just need the right pairing. Honestly, I think a great pairing would have been Zack Ryder and Chris Masters. Ryder could give Masters a guido make-over, and Masters could bounce his pecs. In the ring, Ryder takes the beating and tags in the beast that is his back-up. They would have been super over. Especially if you give them someone like Eve Torres as a valet.

Blink and you'll miss it. I'm sure he plans to revamp the tag team division, but when nobody cares once again, will it last?

It's really tough to capture that certain "tag team magic" with enough people to make a division. It's also tough to maintain that level of interest. We've seen them put efforts up in the past. Most of the time, it's just shit.

CSL 08-11-2011 03:49 PM

I thought there was some potential there when Miz and R-Truth did a bit together a few weeks ago, the way they "embraced", the way they left the ring/walked the ramp together, it all looked very comfortable. The fact they can both "go" and are dynamite with a microphone is the icing on the cake. Have Miz wear trunks the same colour as Truth's trousers or vice versa (I likes me a team with some attire symmetry) and they could be a riot.

Maybe you're thinking of New Midnight Express?

Holly was named "Bombastic Bob" and Bart Gunn was named "Bodacious Bart", but I don't think they both wore the checkered pit jackets you're talking about.

The only tag team I can think of that wore those, were Koko B. Ware and Owen Hart when they were a tag team know as "High Energy".

Oh god, the only thing that pops in my head when those names come up is Chyna taking 15 years to nail Cornette in the balls.

Since it appears that Striker has recently been getting back into the action, have him join the stable as an active member instead of a mouthpiece. Have them adopt the name "Four Boroughs Freebirds" and then you can have Hayes take exception to the name and bring in a group of his own consisting of whichever two teams are signed and ready to go.
