Royal Rumble Anyone else think the RR card is a little heavy on tag team matches?

[Jacob Fox]

I was kidding. When people say tag teams in the attitude era the outlaws are on of the first they think off. But if you look back at their work if you've seen one Outlaws match, you've seen em all.

Sorry Sometimes you can't tell on the internet

Yeah for the most part I agree. I dunno, see I am weird about wrestling. I'll even watch the boring stuff and still be entertained. I'll likely be fine watching the Rumble tag matches. If they don't entertain me they'll give me something to complain about

 

[Stopspot]

I just plain love wrestling. If it's a wrestling match I'll most likely find something to enjoy about. It doesn't have to be five stars to be enjoyable

I understand. I was watching a 1993 RAW the other day and saw Friar Ferguson's debut (Mike Shaw, the wrestler who would go on to become Bastion Booger) and it was lousy. He was just walking slowly around the ring, occasionally hitting the guy. I was still entertained to a degree by it.

I guess

They do have a lot of tag matches there, yeah. But I guess it's mostly just a coincidence. On Usos vs Miz's I do have to say that it has been kinda boring to see them wrestle so much. I guess it's just because they keep wrestling each other and there's not much progression to it. They have a singles match, one guy wins, yay. Then repeat on SD, repeat on the next Raw and it just goes on and on. If the matches had some more meaning behind them, the repetition wouldn't be that bad. But that storyline did start off with a great angle that time Miz talked to Naomi and Jimmy just went there and punched him, I just found that segment to be very realistic and pretty cool to see.

Yes, they've had too many matches. And they really haven't done anything to spice it up a little bit each time, to keep it interesting and worth tuning in every week.

The matches haven't been a disaster, though. That's something I'll admit.

But yeah, facing each other every week, whether it's singles match where one guy wins or if it's a tag match, it just gets old really quick.

If there was a typical stuff that happens with tag feuds, where the tag champs are facing another team and Miz/Mizdow would come to the ring and cost 'em the match and then they do it vice versa, it'd have been a different story, I think. But, oh well. What's done is done.

- There's definitely a bigger picture, 'the greater good' behind all these tag matches. The Usos are retaining at the Rumble, Miz and Mizdow are splitting up, Mizdow's going over at Mania, the Bella's are splitting up, The Usos are handing over the titles to The Ascension, no idea what'll happen to The New Day and Cesaro/Kidd team... All's well. I guess.

 

[CFCrusader]

So what happens to the Tag Team division when Mizdow & Miz inevitably split up? We'll have The Usos, who really should be chasing the titles for a long time now, The Ascension (buried by Vince), The New Day (lol push is not happening), Cesaro & Kidd (same with NEW DAAAAY) and Stardust & Goldust (most likely splitting up soon as well) as the only ones I can really see being prominent in the division. I think that having 2 hour RAWs and Smackdown every week would benefit the tag team division, keep matches fresh and they could do various matches between everyone one week and then do promos the next (doing Miz vs Jey Uso is not doing anything to help, but a promo would be good). I think that the RR will be used to cement the various break-ups but could we not still see a few individuals team up during the RR and see if they can pull of some cool moves and hint at a future team? Add to that, NAO are going to try and salvage The Ascension (or Vince will just bury Ascension more... probably gonna be a burying).

So, we'll be crossing The Miz/Mizdow and Gold & Stardust off the Tag Team Division's list. Fine by me, it's been a long time coming.

Once these two teams are gone, the tag division is either going to improve or it's gonna suck even more.

With those 4 teams remaining, I really hope they make the tag division interesting. Maybe we'll see a new tag soon. Kalisto will be there, prolly working in a tag team with Sin Cara, called The Lucha Dragons. I'd also like to see The Vaudevillains being called up next, but we'll see.

Yep, and hopefully we'll get Miz vs Mizdow and Cody vs Goldust soon.

The Lucha Dragons would be cool, I haven't really seen much of them on NXT but they seem like a good duo and their theme song is so catchy (even with the stupid LUCHA LUCHA LUCHA non stop). Didn't they drop the NXT Tag titles?

Hopefully they push Cesaro & Kidd and New Day, and maybe add another new tag team or two - throw more midcarders together, heck Brad Maddox is sitting around doing nothing, they should put him in a tag team...

Yeah, Mizdow vs Miz and Cody vs Goldy is something I'm looking forward to seeing.

Yup, they did drop 'em to Murphy and Blake. The more reason to invite 'em over on the main roster.

Bloody hell, Maddox is still there? He should be used, definitely.

That seems as if HHH is preparing for their main roster debut... inb4 they claim they're better than previous luchadores like Rey Mysterio :heyman:

Yep, after that weird ass Mexico cave thing, we didn't really hear much from Maddox but he was on the WWE App once apparently and started another Youtube show thing. Kinda sucks, he's good enough to be there as a mouthpiece as the very least - I'm not sure if he can go in the ring, but his Deal Breaker finisher needs to see the light of day in a WWE ring. Surprised Triple H isn't using him in NXT.

Why use him when you can have him sitting around, doing nothing, right? :dawg:

I heard they keep him because he can do some lawyer stuff for the 'E...

But he's still there in a wrestling role. Top Vince logic.
