Now even though Smackdown got screwed pretty big throughout the draft, I'm not gonna bash it just yet, but I will say that their tag team division is absolutely terrible. There are a total of 2 tag teams on the show which is pathetic because there will only be one feud for the titles. I thought the division was bad enough when it had 3 teams, but now why are there even 2 tag team divisions if one brand has 2 teams and the other has 6. To make matters worse, the 2 teams on Smackdown are both new and most likely aren't experienced enough to have great matches against each other. They have Deuce and Domino (debuted in January) who so far haven't proven to be all that great and they have The Major Brothers (debuted in May) who have only had a few matches and haven't had enough TV time to judge if they look good or bad so far. I think they look pretty good so far, but that's just my opinion. Both of these teams have the potential to be good teams in the future, but both are very young and have little experience in the big time. There are only 3 options that wwe has to make the tag team division on SD look good. They could either have a title unification match, bring up more new teams from OVW or make random guys team with each other in order to have more teams (ex. Batista/Mysterio, Holly/Haas, Booker/RVD, etc.). I think the third choice is most likely to happen because RAW has so many options to develop some great feuds and good matches with their division that they wouldn't want to unify the titles just yet and the last thing SD needs are more new tag teams. So with that being said, what do you guys think will happen with the SD tag division and what do you think of it?
Here is the list of tag teams on each show just to compare and see how bad Smackdown has it is:
RAW Cade/Murdoch (current champs) Hardys World's Greates Tag Team Hooliganz Highlanders Cryme Tyme
SMACKDOWN Deuce & Domino (current champs) Major Brothers
ECW-No Official Division New Breed Possibly Thorn/Viscera

Smackdown will probably do a few random partners.
One would probably end up being Eugene and random guy.

Smackdown, IMO will prolly look like this (tag wise):
* Dave Taylor & Finlay
* The Major Bros.
* Duece n Domino
my gripe was, SD should have gotten a tag team (Highlanders or Cryme Tyme)

I was very surprised that Cryme Tyme and Highlanders didn't switch shows. Hmm, I wouldn't be surprised if a trade happened at some point.

Cryme Tyme would have been great on Smackdown. I think they could have had a decent program with Douche & Domino.

They really tried to stick the nail in the Smackdown coffin with the draft, but Smackdown will not die I tell you. But yeah the lack of tag teams on Smackdown is appalling. At least we'll get a break from the D&D vs L&K matches for a heap of D&D vs Majors matches. Actually is that southern team of Gordy & Hankinson ever gonna debut?

What's a tag division?
Yeah, I know its old, but so is talk of the dead divisions in the WWE.
IC title is dead. Tag titles are dead. CW title is dead. Women's title they are trying to rebuild. US title, World title, and WWE titles are the only meaningful titles. ECW title has a chance to become meaningful since ECW looks to be on an uprise with the draft/Vince dying/Lashley being stripped of the title and if the give the belt to Burke, Punk, or Benoit, the title may start to become legitimate.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens. I don't see Smackdown being left with just two official tag teams for long.

I'm sure Smackdown! will get a few tag teams from OVW. In the mean time, Deuce & Domino will have a nice long fued with the Major Bros.

Actually is that southern team of Gordy & Hankinson ever gonna debut?[/b] They were never brought up and won't be brought up anytime soon. Vince wasn't happy with the way that Hakinson worked in the ring and he said that he never liked the gimmick of a hillbilly tag team. He said the gimmick was too stereotypical and that there were already enough redneck type guys on the wwe roster (Cade, Murdoch, Jimmy Wang Yang, Jamie Noble). So I'm guessing that the gimmick will get cancelled and the 2 guys will stay in OVW. Hakinson better improve, because this was supposed to be the 3rd time that he would be brought up to the main roster, but instead hes only been on TV a couple of times to fight Kane as the Fake Kane. So if he doesn't get brought up by this year, he's gone.

Cryme Tyme would have been great on Smackdown. I think they could have had a decent program with Douche & Domino. Like I said, it would have been gold...."New Age Thugs vs. Old School Thugs", would have been classic. Hell, Colt Cabana and Ace Steel could be brought up to up to Smackdown.

I think it might have been the Voxhall fool that was deleted the other day for bumping old ass threads like this in other sections.

It is fascinating looking back and knowing what we know now though.
