The floundering Tag scene

Now since the new features on wwe's latest game included a high emphasis on tag teams, we thought that all of a sudden the tag division would start to nod in the direction of what it once was, great.


But it has not.

So im asking you the pairings you would like to see.

The rivalries that would give the belts credit

and genral tag related piffle.

Hopefully this sunday the belt lies in the hands of actuall tag teams, who wrestle as a unit and can pull off some good tag moves. (anyone but swoggle) And hopefully on smackdown too.

but then still there is only 2 or 3 teams on the show, one of which has not wrestled properly in ages (major brothers)

so will wwe soon rectify this, or release a game that makes no sense in current times and look like prize fools?

Elijah Burke and Shelton Benjiman vs. Londrick

Atheletism vs. High-flyers

Elijah Burke and Shelton Benjiman would be a perfect match, or Elijah and D'Lo.

I hope Londrick will form again, and quite soon, I do think it will happen, I seem to remember WWE splitting them up before, only to reform them again.

All could improve on the mic and the matches would be brilliant.

The tricky thing is once you let the tag division turn to shit (like it has) it's really hard to build it back up. If you put two nobodies together then nobody cares (obviously) unless you bring them in as part of a decent story (see Edgeheads) or build them up over a long time. The other option is stick to already popular people together like Mix and Morrison but there's only a certain amount of people you can do that with and it often results in the fan favouring one more like Morrison and the team will break up.

Out of the current roster I would like to see two new teams come out the middle card of each show, more so Smackdown. Big Show as part of a team with someone could work with maybe someone like Kozlov or Umaga. A good powerful tag team.

it wouldnt harm the wwe too, i dont get why tags got forgotten, its a way of ending matches differantly than singles ones. more variation if done right.

tag match on ecw was pretty decent. wouldnt mind if the hardys used ecw to fight as a tag team, but it probably wont happen much, pleases fans though

some teams id like:

D-Lo and burchill, similar size i reckon, they could beleivebly win what theyd like, and it gets 2 guys who should be on the shows, on the shows, without risking a top names screen time as 4 in one match is a pretty simple way of evening out the show to utilize talent.

Burke and k kwick, older guy and younger guy again, helping eachother to make an impact. Similar look about them if they both had dreads etc, wwe likes similarities


Striker and noble, or santino and noble, or santino and striker: simple talk a good game, funny guys, can WRESTLE (presumably santino can)


add those 3 to cryme tyme, major bros, priceless and theres already 3 teams per show. good enough for now oh and Jes+Fes

miz and morrison move to singles on ecw and smackdown then...

wouldnt mind carlito being a tag guy, if hes not going to be in midcard singles rivalries with shelton kennedy jeff etc

that solves it dusnt it disco lad??

all from the top of me head too. and wouldnt cut into raw smackdown or ecws midcard singles and main event plans. but they are all talented and very watchable

I like the idea of Carlito in there somewhere too.

They all sound pretty workable actually but I think Raw would do OK without any tag division really. With Smackdown and ECW it's more versatile, more time and less big names. I would love to see some of them teams actually come together but can you see an improvement coming?

Maybe if Horny and Finlay win then no.

But if they don't and the belts come to Smackdown, who knows.

well if raw didnt have a tag scene then this would happen.


BIG BLANK SPACE because cryme tyme and priceless would feck off. and tbh they are all worthy of main show entertainment.

Obviously the ideal thing would be unify the belts and have a nice open policy with them without brand restrictions but that's never gonna happen.

I just think Raw can sustain itself without a tag division but then again they could really get good scene going. How much of any of this stuff can you see happening though?

depends if vince is browsing today.

wel see anyway wont we, wel see.

chances of burke being used on the midcard though HA none

did you ever see the lethal lottery in wcw in the early 90's?
i thought it was quite good, something like 20 tag teams were formed by a random draw, then they all had one match and the winning team from each match went through to a battle royal main event thing. I think that could work as a way to make a couple of new teams perhaps?

Londrick isn't a tag team any more....

Kendrick's on smackdown, and he's got a new gimmick (cocky heel with huge black guy named Ezikiel with him). Thi is the first night i've watched smackdown since the draft, is this new?

He's gonna be pushed hard too.

Described by JR and Foley as an attitiude era HBK, and as arn anderson.

I know. That's why I wrote reform

I would bring Carlito's brother up from FCW and form a tag team from those two.
I would also have Elijah Burke and Ron Killings team up. Same with D Lo Brown and Shelton Benjamin.

Put Ron Simmonds with Val Venis for an experienced tag team with two veterans in or even reform the APA for a little while. Put London in with Helms when Helms returns and put Super Crazy with Shannon Moore. And you could also have Striker and Noble plus Santino and Chuck Palumbo.

You have a possible 9 tag teams there which would improve WWE's tag team scene no end.

What the fuck?? that is exactly what I JUST posted, see the link

Oh sorry i thought it was just blue writting sorry lol plus its a diffrent page anyways sorry once again

Meh whatever, point is Doom is wrong. lol



AGAIN

yeah, i forgot about that part of the tournament, since every team made there was eliminated in the first round.....

thanks for correcting me however.

No problem, anytime.

D'lo and Elijah Burke would be a good pairing!
Chavo and Bam Neely
Ricky Ortiz and Chris Harris
Carlito and Kenny Dykstra


out of all of those only really Chavo are doing something at the moment and even then its hardly significant since he jobbed to Bourne in about 3 minutes on last weeks ECW
