Tag team division dead again?
For a few months it seemed like the tag team division was turning over a new leaf. Teams like the Usos, Prime Time Players, and Primo and Epico were getting some good air time and matches. There were feuds away from the belt (With AW going with the Prime Time Players) and matches were being put on every ppv.
Now all the tag teams are being squashed by teams thrown together by 2 random people. Team Hell No (Which is a nice team but still was thrown together), the two masked Mexicans, and Team Rhode Scholars. Prime Time Players seemed to be the only team with a little bit of steam a couple weeks ago but after the 4 way tag match that is offically gone. Do you think they screwed up the division again? Was it never really coming around? Or is it better than it has been in years? |

Bryan and Kane make tag team competition worth watching. The Prime Time Players suck ass and every other team they're pushing right now is better than them and they should have been future endeavored along with AW.

They did fuck up an opportunity with the tag titles at TLC though. The stip should have been if the Shield wins they become tag champs a la the Freebird rule, and if Ryback/Hell No wins Ryback gets another shot at Punk.

Prime Time Players started as two black guys being thrown together. The only thing that scares me about the division is Kenneth Cameron being fired. I think Ascension could have been really good. Rhode Scholars and Rey/Cara are solid tag teams.
Having two established former World Champions can only be good for the tag team titles. Team Hell No is a great team. Is Team Co-Bro still around or is that done? |

it's starting to get treated like the divas, i.e. flavor of the month. "oh, let's have the usos just start kicking ass out of nowhere for a while." at least it wasn't a title change that night.

On Raw the fans were really responding to the Usos, and the PTP are getting more reactions latelly. Titus' bark gets big responses today

Titus was WAY over with the Survivor Series crowd. It didn't transition to TV well because of the rest of the noise, but over none the less.

I think whoever becomes champs after Hell No will tell us how they feel about the division.
Also, are Khali and Hornswoggle an actual team now? |

PTP is dope, especially Titus. The subtle shit they do, even in singles matches, are entertaining.

Yeah, they're actually a very good team. But they don't even have a name, or at least WWE hasn't stressed it. It's not that we don't have good tag teams, it's just that most of them lack an identity and feel like random guys thrown together.

Team Hell No
Team Rhodes Scholars The Prime Time Players Mysterio and Sin Cara The Usos Primo and Epico 3MB Team Cobro Justin Gabriel and Tyson Kidd The Great Khali and Horswoggle (I swear, this is happening) Even Kofi and R-Truth can still pass as a tag team. Look at that list. Now think back to the tag division when McGuillicutty and Otunga were champs. I'd say things are definitely moving in a positive direction. |

Would have the Ascension on the main roster as a tag team had Kenneth Cameron not fucked up and gotten fired. Would have been a great addition to the Tag Team Division and they could have been sure fire champions.

Honestly throw Reigns and Ambrose together as a team, Seth Rollins needs to be a singles wrestler, the guy has all the tools to be the next breakout star in the main event minus needing some mic work.

There's quite a few tag team specialists working as trainers for NXT...So I believe more will be coming.

sorry but Demott is probably the WORST trainer they have there. Norman Smiley is a better trainer than old Billy Bill who thinks hey i was in the business 20 years not i can slap around fresh meat to the business and think i'm someone.

I'm really digging Tyson Kidd & Justin Gabriel's little rivarly with 3MB. I also wouldn't mind David Otunga & Michael McGillicutty reforming their team to feud with Zack Ryder & Santino Marella on Superstars. It wouldn't shock the world or anything, but McGillicutty can help Otunga with ring development, and Otunga can help McGillicutty with persona.
Epico & Primo seem to be without direction at the moment, which is a shame, because I feel they could be a really awesome team. They just lack something that makes them stand-out as a threat to any face team. That'll be OK for a few weeks, since they can feud with The Usos while Rhodes Scholars are busy with Kane & Daniel Bryan. The Usos getting a few wins over these guys for a few weeks could do them wonders to start forming a long-term connection with audiences. I would rather The Great Khali be teaming with Trent Barreta or Yoshi Tatsu, but whatever. Rhodes Scholars seem like a real tag team, and although I can't see them taking the WWE Tag Team Titles from Team Hell No, I could see them opening the Royal Rumble against the Tag Champs. I'm honestly not sure what team will take the belts off Team Hell No. I'm not really too fussed about seeing them pass them on, to be honest. I'm still sort of hoping for Antonio Cesaro & Kassius Ohno to form a team in time for WrestleMania. |

Now we just need more teams to use tag finishers.
Who even has a team finisher besides PTP? |

Rollins looks like an IT guy we used to have. Doesn't work there now b/c he had to train this forehead dot Indian to replace him. So yeah Seth Rollins would be great at training Indians (curry) to take his spot...put him in a program w/Khali.
