Such great continuity with the Martel/Tito split. They crossed paths up until 1993! Shame they never got a one on one match on PPV. Yeah, I think the blow-off match for their feud was at the king of the ring house show in late 1989. Though, I don't think any of those matches were televised. They did have a match on Saturday Night's Main Event in 1990, but it was just a throw-away match to keep the Martel/Jake feud going. Mania VI wouldve been ideal to end it. One year since the split. Have Koko face Barb. They were on the cards for SSlam that year but was scrapped in the end.Gotta love the kayfabe reason of Martel having ''commitments in Paris''. |

I agree, they could have had Martel and Tito wrestled at WM6. |

mega-powers is prob biggest most famous one!
the rockers is a big one for me also. shawn vs jannety was always a bad blood match.
dreamteam beefcake & valentine was another good one for always having a match later on.
doom had a big break up as well.

Triple H spoke some BS about why they don't have actual tag-teams in the WWE.
Basically, they prefer to throw tag-teams together from 2 guys under contract, rather than specifically sign tag-teams from outside the WWE, because they don't see the value in giving them individual, equal contract on par with other guys on the roster for essentially half the work.
To his credit, I see the point in a roundabout way. But that still doesn't excuse why WWE doesn't put any real effort into the tag division and try to make big tag-team stars (eg New Age Outlaws, Edge & Christian...) even WITH using thrown together tag-teams or 2 NXT guys under contract without any singles experience on TV. For example The Revival, The Ascension, American Alpha....
Sure, there are tag-teams that are pushed (Usos, Street Profits), but apart from the New Day, they don't really consistently keep them strong/consistent.
Teams get over and then are split up. They come up from NXT and are jobbed out/victims of 50/50 booking.
There also may be less teams on the indies, but even when they're given the chance on the main roster, they're wasted (Viking Raiders).
So I think Triple H's excuse is weak. They need to be putting more effort in like they did in 2000 and build tag stars. Split them after a couple of years of being on the top, instead of building them and splitting them instantly. Build the chemistry, keep them together for a while. Have several hungry teams at the same time and vying for the titles. Sounds simple?

Ok, so this is not exactly a tag team splitting up and fighting, but I got a huge kick out of Smash and Ax coming to blows at the 1989 Royal Rumble.
Actually, speaking of Demolition when they split up we got the epic match of Crush vs Repo Man at SummerSlam 1992... which I have to be honest and say I was very excited for as I was all in on Crush as a kid.
