Don't like the idea of Harper and Rowan winning them at all. Look at the Shield, another trio, holding the belts... terrible.

What I'd do with the tag division now:

-Rhodes & Goldust hold onto the belts until around the Royal Rumble/Elimination Chamber PPV.
-Drop them to The Real Americans. Goldust costs them the titles, turning heel and a match v Cody at WM is setup
-Have The Real Americans v The Usos at WM. Would be a great match. Cesaro can leave after this.

The Shield winning the belts felt underwhelming for a different reason, though. They had come in strong and gone over everyone in the company from Ryback to Cena to Orton to Undertaker, and so it felt like a major step down to win the titles and thus have to defend against opponents who were of a lesser stature than the ones that they had already been facing. But regardless, I can still see The Real Americans lasting as a team long enough to win the titles. Like with the Rhodes, I could see their loss of the titles being the catalyst for them splitting as a team.

Also, I agree with how you've booked it. It reminds me of the same angle they ran in early '94 with the split between Bret and Owen Hart. They had issues because of something that happened at Survivor Series, but then they reunited for the Rumble so that they could take the tag belts from The Quebecers, but shit happened and they lost, Owen blamed Bret, turned on him, etc. Build to their match at WMX. Same deal here, except the Rhodes losing the belts (instead of simply failing to win them) would be what drives Goldust to turn on Cody. A very similar Brother-Against-Brother angle, twenty years later.

Cesaro and Swagger haven't been getting to many wins, and John Cena is a World Heavyweight champion who just defended his World title twice, one against a Money in the Bank winner who ambushed him before match, and another against a multiple former world champion. Cesaro and Swagger haven't had really a good time in getting wins as of late, even though I remember them picking up one win recently, but aside from that they have been losing constantly. The World Heavyweight champion shouldn't be losing to a team that barely gets any wins, and he did it in a fine way. If this was anybody else, I doubt you would be complaining, so calm your panties Hoff.

The Hoff certainly thinks Goldust working as a heel could be interesting..hmm could work. He wouldn't be as great of a heel as The Hoff, though.

I wouldn't? Really? Okay, I guess you're a mind reader of some sorts. Damn. I did not know that. :wtf: Get out of my head!

Probably they want to give the WH Title a bit more credibility. Lets be honest, no one gave a fuck about it... It was like the US title...

Nobody still gives two shits about the WH title. When, and The Hoff means WHEN he wins the WHC from Johnny Boy, I will bring prestige back to that once glorious championship. :angry: That's right Cena, I said it. See? I done pissed him off now

Your gimmick is pretty stale yo. At least the others were entertaining to watch, feels like a 12 year old made your account...

Meh, Cena will beat you because he's unbeatable. You can try as hard as you want to get the job done, but you will still lose to Cena. And if you someday defeat Cena and get the title, I will for sure steal it and give it the prestige it deserves. It'd mean nothing in your hands!
