Has potential to be awseome, yet nothing's happening  You've got Air Boom Epico & Primo The Uso's Hunico/Camacho Hawkins/Reks Why not get some of these guys in real feuds? Let the Uso's who are an amazing team with an even more amazing entrance let the "Universe" know about there family and whatever, and put them in a feud with Hunico & Camacho on Smackdown. Have Epico & Primo on a small 4 match losing streak against Air Boom, and make them angry because they up until TLC kept beating Air Boom, which would bring out there "rage". Give these guys actual story-lines instead of facing eachother 3 times a month. Putting Dibiase in a team with McGillicuty won't be bad, both sons of Hall Of Famers. Plus why the hell did the release Caylen Croft last year? The Dudebusters would've been great against Air Boom or Epico/Primo. |

Of course it has potential to be great. It has been for a while, it's just that the WWE couldn't care less about the tag team division.

I love tag team wrestling. I'm upset that WWE doesn't.

Yoshi Tatsu and Trent Barreta have been a team of sorts over on NXT as well.

I admire your campaign to make WWE care about Tag Team wrestling again. I agree completely.
We have The Usos, Epico & Primo, Air Boom. Great. But we also had Cryme Tyme (who they split up for no good reason and released one half), The Hart Dynasty (who they split up for no good reason and released one half), Slater & Gabriel (who they split up for no good reason). The Colons were great but then Carlito got released too.
Some very good tag teams have come and gone, yet sadly it was always Santino & Kozlov and some crappy Nexus pair that were fighting over the belts for the last year and a half.

the tag team saw its best days in the late 80s early 90s with teams like LOD, Hart Foundation, Nasty Boys etc...after the attitude era with Hardy Boys, Dudleys, E&C, APA, Too Cool it kind of just took a dump...the tag teams today i personally dont see as anything credible. Personally if I was going to try and build up tag team division I would keep the belts on Air Boom since theyre over with the crowd the most and established in the WWE..let them defend them as well as have other tag team matches on raw and smackdown between teams that are on the roster...for the last several months I been saying how Drew Mcintyre and Wade Barrett as a tag team would be a good start and fued for Air Boom to boost the division

I have no hope for tag-teams any more.
The Uso's could be a legendary team if you WWE let them shine. Hart Dynasty could have been too.
Epico/Primo is a sick team, but they ain't gonna do nothing.

They have five hours of commercials on every show. The opening segment of Raw usually takes about twenty minutes. We get constant "did you know" facts, twitter updates, shots of guys walking to the ring, shots of guys talking to John Laurinitis and David Otunga, shots of guys stalking people backstage. The divas always take up a segment no matter what. So does Jinder Mahal.
There is simply no time for a tag division because of all these important things.

I completely agree. With all the tag teams they have that they don't do anything with, and with all the people they don't use who they can make a tag team with. Just think about all the people they can make a tag team with Tyson Kidd, Yoshi Tatsu, Trent Baretta, Tyler Reks, etc.

Pretty much this, the divisions been booked like crap even though there have been some teams that could have gone down as some of the greats. I would venture to say most people would be shocked to hear Reks and Hawkins are even a team. There are really only 3 teams in the division and they wrestle all the time. There needs to be more teams and they need to actually put the matches on TV. If they can make time for a totally garbage Divas division then there should be room for a tag team division. I think the Usos should be the champions and on top of the division and I think Epico/Primo w/ Rosa are definitely entertaining. But it's like the The Hart Dynasty, even when they were on top they had no one to wrestle. Just a shame. |

Tag Team wrestling was always my favorite. Tag teams in the 80's and early 90's were sweet. WWE could build a division but they always start with it then get bored. I thought the Hart Dynasty could have been a great great tag team. I loved their matches with the Big Show and Jericho.

Also if Vance Archer was still around him and Tyler Reks would be a menacing tag team, if Archer stayed with the trunks instead of long tights.

Sadly, I think its because most of tag teams, when broken down to singles competitors are seen as lower mid carders/jobbers. Unlike the "glory days" of tag team wrestling. Guys like Road Warrior Hawk, Nikita Koloff, Ricky Morton, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels etc etc were all seen as legit threats and/or had serious feud/singles matches with legit singles competitors. I think when people see them as scrubs put together, not many people take them very serious. I think its one reason why Air Boom got over fairly well but all the others just hovered around curtain jerker.

There all just thrown together tag teams, I miss the days when Tag Teams had names and wore matching attire, nobody cares about tag teams because they arnt been marketed. Even though there's some good tag teams today I just don't consider them Tag Teams, I remember back in the day there were Legion of Doom, Demolition, Rockers, Hart Foundation, Nasty Boys, Bushwhackers, Natural Disasters and loads more. It doesnt help either that the Tag Team belts look like 2 hideous pennies. In Kendrick & Londons shoot interview they were telling management that they wanted to be called The Hooliganz, and Vince said no, theres no point giving you a name incase we decide to split you up.
WWE needs to make some REAL tag teams and market them and give them real TV time.

from 85 through 93 Vince had the following tag teams on his roster
1)British Bulldogs
2)Dream Team
3)Iron Sheik and Volkoff
4)Hart Foundation
5)Islanders
6)Killer Bees
7)Demolition
8)Strike Force
9)Can Am Connection
10)Bolsheveiks
11)Bushwhackers
12)The Rougeus
13)The Rockers
14)the Brain Busters
15)the Twin Towers
16)the Powers Of Pain
17)The Colossal Connection
18)Legion Of Doom
19)Nasty Boys
20)Natural Disasters
21)Orient Express
22)Power and Glory
23)The Steiners
24)the Smokin Gunns
25)Money Inc
26)Headshrinkers
27)Heavenly Bodies
so thats 27 teams in 7 years that ALL appeared on multiple PPvs and had serious TV time.its 2012 now and id be hard pressed to name 6 teams since 2005 that Vince had devoted the same time too.even jobbers like the Bolshes and orient express got more time than todays premiere teams
