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.

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.
