Last week on SmackDOwn we had a Big Show squash match and a Mark Henry squash match, if they're desperate for matches why not have the tag-team titles defended on 2 SmackDowns a year, and have them compete with different teams every single week for number one contenders and stuff?

The one benefit of having a second lower brand is to showcase the talent that can't get on to RAW because of big-nosed HHH taking up 30 minutes by himself. Remember that RAW a month ago when there was a triple threat tag-team match fro the title I think, that was one of the best RAW's of the year.

You have a pair of talented wrestlers in Epico & Primo, they're fun to watch, but they can't get over if they're not even going to compete weekly.

Because that makes sense and isn't #wwelogic

NXT doesn't give the tag teams enough exposure though.

I think the SD idea would work as it'd give tags the exposure required and start to get the casual wrestling fam back into tag team action.

OH, so you're looking at this from a logical perspective. Silly Cloud.
They're using NXT for that, but as you say that means nothing.

Personally, I don't want tag-team wrestling back until they get away from the set-in-stone tag team match formula they have of "Heels isolate face and beat him down for most of the match, face gets in hope spot, teases hot tag, heels beat him down more, face gets another hope spot and gets the hot tag to the partner who cleans house, he goes for his finisher, illegal heel runs in to run interference, illegal face throws him over the top rope, face goes for finisher again, and it's either reversed or hit."

WWE: Do something different.

LOL at the underlined :)

And yeah I agree with ur statement that they need to step away from the above mentioned format of tag team wrestling.

Main reason I want changes is because I miss a decent tag division and feel it could help with bringing talent through.

Haha, happy to help! Not only do I agree with you, but I agree with Anxiety's post above. A tag division could be a great way to showcase talent, and having something involving it on SD every week (and Raw once HHH goes away) but we know WWE can't do it right.

Trivia question: Including the ones at least in storylines on NXT right now, how many tag-teams does WWE have right now? +1 rep for the first person to guess correctly.

And also, what were the tag names given to Dolph & Swagger by Vickie on Twitter, and the ones given to Kofi and Dolph by Little Jimmy (according to Stanford) on Superstars? +1 like for either of those.

Thanks, Anxiety! Not changing it any time soon. (Edit: Only a like for the tag names)
