At the time of Austin 3:16, Rocky Maivia was still fresh and new. They were very essential to his frowth IMO
Were we? It definately did more for Batista though, it was basically the heart of what his face run was.
It could be argued that Batista winning the title from HHH after leaving Evolution did more for him. Orton did more while in evolution (defeating Rock N Sock at WM, winning the WHC, legend killer gimmick)
I guess I shouldn't have just quoted that, since that was a reply to MizMasta saying Shawn, Rock, etc. needed a team to get over. The Hardy's are practically nowhere right now, so it's hard to hold them in high regard, but they would be completely nobodies if not for the Hardy's. Like I said in my post, they got over on COOL MOVES as a TAG TEAM. Edge and Christian, however, are far more talented, and are both known for their stints out of the E&C. Christian, being more known for his run in TNA, and of course Edge in the Rated R era. That said, Edge and Christian definitely would still be practically the same as today. E&C are rarely even alluded to as it is, like that one dude brought up earlier.So you're of the opinion that despite being two of the most successful tag teams ever, that all of them would be sitting pretty much where they are right now regardless?
Does that mean that their popularity as tag teams is irrelevant to their success?
I don't think the tag team is the make or break factor, it just helps the brighter of the two stars stand out even more when paired with someone. That simple.
Believe me, Rock would have gotten over...Farooq or not. If you think any differently you're crazy.
I think it was good timing that the Nation was there to boost Rocks career a little faster, but I doubt that they were essential to it.
Edge and Christian, however, are far more talented, and are both known for their stints out of the E&C. Christian, being more known for his run in TNA, and of course Edge in the Rated R era.

Lets put it like this, if Christian, Edge, Matt, and Jeff came into WWE trying to make a name for themselves as singles competitors, they would not still be here. Maybe, one of them might still be a big deal but lets face it, it would have been a lot harder to established themselves
Without a doubt there would be no Edge or Jeff Hardy if they didn't start in the tag division first. There are two classes of main event stars, some get their solely on their own while others need someone else (tag partner) to help them with the first couple steps towards becoming a main event.
