This is the problem with Tag Team wrestling...it takes 2 guys to make 1 shirt. That is the way WWE breaks it down. How can we sell things. So if you have a tag team T-Shirt or DVD, or whatever merchindise to sell, it would take two guys insead of one. Why bother building up Tag Teams anyway? All anyone wants is an eventual turn of one of them and then a feud, but let's face it that is boring even by WWE standards. I remember the days when the Tag Title was so saught after it passed up the IC title on occasion. I loved those days as well...but they can't last forever. The TLC era was, well, impossibly to pass by mark's eye. Besides, people don't want to take those risks anymore...and the reason it worked so well was you had 2, fairly underused and unknown teams (E&C/Hardys) fighting to be noticed, and the Dudley's fighting to be accepted by the WWF. No one wants to fight that hard anymore. Ratings are down, there is a CLEAR glass ceiling, and moral seems to be fallowing ratings from my understanding so why bother?

Throwing 2 starts together in a Tag Team is good for the WWE right now, and the reason is this. Take Tajiri and Rhyno, both over with the crowd, and both have talent, however there isn't a storyline for them...unless we pair them up...it gets the smarts off their ass and fills the arena with cheers by the marks...win win.
