Brother Gimmicks that worked
What are all the brother gimmicks out there over the years and which worked?
Obviously Kane, brother of the Undertaker worked out pretty well. The Dudleys worked out. Matt Hardy, brother of Jeff never really panned out. Owen Hart was pretty successful as the Black Hart. What else? Insert Signature Here |

Not sure what you mean since you've listed some real brothers and some kayfabe brothers.
If you're talking strictly 'made up' brothers, Edge and Christian. |

Ronnie garvin was billed as Jimmy garvins brother
In fact, Rugged Ron, The Hands of Stone, was "Gorgeous" Jimmys Stepfather! |

Real or make believe brothers are fine. I just wonder how often brothers or "brothers" work out. A lot of times brothers are always thrown in a tag team and that's pretty much it. Rarely do they split and work it seems.

How can that be the case, when the first example was 'Taker and Kane?
I never understood that... how are they still "brothers" even after Vince made a huge stink about "people will never believe..." and repackaged Ryder/Hawkins when they looked close enough to pass as the Major Bros. Also, same with E&C, who have been demoted to "like brothers" as opposed to being full-fledged kayfabe brother. Another "brother" gimmick that worked out was Hulk Hogan. |

Also, Smoking Gunns... although after that whole Brawl 4 All/Bart Gunn fiasco, and Billy making it big with Road Dogg, I guess they were better left forgotten.
Speaking of Road Dogg, his brother "ripping off" the gimmick in WCW as Buzzkill. I always thought of it as a reverse Gillberg move. |

Either way, how did it take 19 posts to mention Taker and Kane. They are in the middle of a big feud for the belt

Were the Bushwackers billed as brothers? Because they seem to only be referred to as Luke & Butch
