The WWE has no good tag teams at the moment because there are way too many egos and the big stars want to win the big titles. The tag teams that the WWE have now are a joke. I mean come on now who wants to see Jesse and Fetus two wrestlers that can not wrestle for worth of crap. If Hardcore Holly and Cody Rhodes are tag team champions on RAW then you know that the tag teams are bad. ECW on the other hand does not even have tag team titles. I mean ECW has such great talent over there. I mean why make guys like Shelton Benjamin and Elijah Burke as of tag team and have them rotate brands they do it with The Miz and Morrison another tag team that can not wrestle for garbage. I mean don't get me wrong Morrison is better off being a single wrestler and he is good at times. Even have like CM PUNK and Kofi Kingston team up from time to time and give them a WWE tag team title push that would be awesome and I think it would help the WWE. It would also give Kofi Kingston a push if they did team him up with PUNK. Kofi is a very good wrestler and very entertaining to watch. I mean when was the last time the any of the tag team titles were defended at a PPV.
What can the WWE do to make the tag team divisions better??

Cade and Murdoch ARE WWE's tag division. Why the belts haven't been put back onto them, I don't know. It seems like WWE was doing something right with London and Kendrick vs Cade and Murdoch, but then they just dropped it for Rhodes and Holly. No offense to Rhodes and Holly, they're an alright team and I was alright with them getting the belts, but enough is enough. The belts should go back onto the only team that matters in "sports entertainment"; Cade and Murdoch.
As for Smackdown! and ECW, well, Morrison and Miz are enjoyable, but long time champions? No. Shelton and Elijah are also good, but it seems like they should be doing bigger and better things. Jesse and Festus are a gimmick team, like the Bushwackers, but I suppose gimmicks aren't exactly below the WWE Tag Titles, now are they? And Ray Gordy owns to the high heavens, so I'd be alright with them getting the belts. Not like the WWE Tag Titles ever meant anything. Now, the World Tag Titles still have hope.

If you don't think there are any good tag teams in WWE, then you're entitled to your opinion...but subsequently, my opinion is that you're setting your standards too high.

Name me a tag team in the WWE other than London and Kendrick that are any good or on London or Kendrick's level and I don't mean DX or wrestlers who held the WWE title material |

Jimmy Yang & Shannon Moore, Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch, John Morrison & The Miz, Paul London & Brian Kendrick are all tremendous teams that compliment the other's style quite nicely.
But CM Punk and Kofi Kingston would make a good tag team? Perhaps you just don't like the wrestlers who are in teams now, or the art of tag wrestling in general.
I totally agree that with two sets of tag titles that at least one of them should be defended at every pay per view, or close to it. Problem is, with the joint PPVs, they seem to find more value in ensuring all of their top draws and major titles are on the line, which isn't necessarily a bad thing for business, but it could at least be varied from time to time.

They should have one set of tag titles for all 3 brands.

Believe me, there have been plenty of times in the histories of both Tag titles where I've thought "these guys got the belts, but Vince never saw fit to put them on the Bushwackers?" |

London/Kendrick
Moore/Wang Yang
MNM was a pretty solid tag team, but Morrison is pretty over as a Singles wrestler now and doesn't need to be held down by a tag team.
Cryme Tyme was good and VERY OVER, WWE dropped the ball with them.
Pitbulls were an awesome team, I don't know why they let Kid Kash go, yeah he has an attitude, so what.
Hardyz are very over, but are better off in single career.
And DX is just dead and needs to stay dead.

When was the last time you see the Hardy boyz as a tag team. Cryme Tyme was very good but not in the WWE anymore. There are no good tag teams in the WWE at all as of late. |

I notice people keep bringing up Moore and Yang and you seem to keep ignoring them. |

The reason the tag team division is lackluster is because that's the way it is booked. Teams are now put together for two reasons. There is a young guy that needs a veteran to make him look good and to lead the match ( i.e. Holly and Rhodes ) or they have two young guys that they want on the main roster but don't really have a place for them. They don't want to ruin the wrestler by making them complete jobbers but they are not at a level that they could be pushed for bigger things (Cade and Morrison both). Guys like Shelton Benjamin are great in ring preformers, but he is pretty horrible on the mic so he is destined to stay at mid-card level at best. Putting Punk and Kingston together every now and again is fine, but it probably wouldn't happen a lot because Punk is over with the fans and could have good match with just about anybody as long as they let him hit his high spots. Let's face it the tag team division died when the Hart Foundation and the Rockers split and one half of each team went on to Hall of Fame status. Sure the New Age Outlaws were great, but they were an exception and not the rule. Even when LOD was brought back in, they were a watered down version of one of the top 3 tag teams ever.

Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch, Jimmy Wang Yang & Shannon Moore, John Morrison & The Miz, and Carlito & Santino Marella are great tag teams and imo are better than London & Kendrick.

The Smackdown/ECW tag division are decent with Miz/Morrison, Jesse/Festus, Moore/Yang, Deuce/Domino, Dreamer/Delaney and Edgeheads all featured pretty much every week. And I for one enjoy all of these teams.
The Raw division is weak but holds potential....unfortunately Holly/Rhodes was a step in the wrong direction for the division but I think the team of Carlito and Santino holds potential to add some legitimacy to the division. They also have London/Kendrick, Highlanders, Cade/Murdoch that need to be utilized more because all are good teams(Highlanders hold potential if used as a serious team). London and Kendrick and Cade/Murdoch should have had a longer feud with more air time since both teams have proven in the past to be reliable teams.

The tag division is actually the best it's been in quite a while. The matches on ECW between Miz & Morrison against Shannon & Yang were some of the best matches of the past few months.
