No offense, but the CW division's being slopped enough as it is. The worst thing they could do is to take two of its top-tier stars and put them together as a team. But if the CW battle royal rumored to be at WM doesn't go anywhere, then they might as well scrap the title anyway.

I'll say what I said on the old forums about tag teams, which goes along the lines of what LC said about the 80s tag division. The WWE should use them to introduce the new guys and use it as a stepping stone to a singles career. Usually, it requires the sacrifice of one of the two, but them's the breaks. They did it with the Rockers, and it gave us Shawn Michaels. They did it with the original Hart Foundation, and it gave us Bret Hart. They did it with Edge and Christian, and that worked out exceptionally well for the both of them. At least, I think so. They've tried to do it with the Hardy Boyz twice, and gave us Mattitude, but fucked it up.

So get the new guys like Jindrak and Cade, O'Haire and SOMEONE PLEASE GOD (Maven?), the Bashams, WGTT, etc., and revitalize the tag team divisions. Use the old teams like the Dudleyz to put the younger ones over and give them some credibility, and keep the tag teams a separate entity, none of this Flair and Batista bullshit. When a team has established itself, see who the better worker is, and split 'em up. If they both work, like E&C, then split 'em up with a feud or something and then have them go their separate ways. If one is good, but not really worthy of singles competition yet or ever, use him to bring up another younger guy and rinse and repeat.
