WWE's Tag Team Divison

[Kiffy Lube]

Lately all of been hearing is they need more teams. This is after months of countless awesome battles involving The Shield and before that Team Hell No. Now the division may have not been stacked but the teams at the top were tearing the house down. However I see more people backing the forced push of the Usos as threats than praising the performances from Daniel Bryan to Dean Ambrose were having.

So I have no idea what you folks want. It's like you want quantity over quality yet want Raw still to be 2 hours. So what the fuck do you want? I'll sacrifice a few teams for great wrestling matches any day of the week. Why can't you?

 

[Gimmick]

I think Bryan and Ambrose got plenty of praise (as well as everyone else involved) during their series of matches a few months ago. For weeks they were the best thing going on in the WWE, and I think a lot of people knew that.

One of the reasons why people are getting behind The Usos push is because they want to see the tag team division succeed. Even during The Shield/Team Hell No matches their weren't any other tag teams for the WWE to build a solid foundation on. So, when a team like The Usos get pushed I think people just feel like supporting them.

They're also a pretty good tag team as well. Their push may have come out of nowhere, but at least they're a team that can take that kind of push in their stride and put on some fun matches.

 

[Deezy]

So lemme get this straight, we are talking about the lack of depth in tag teams and you counter with shit that was done months ago with a team that broke up.

I don't even get what point you were trying to make tbh, I want viable tag team wrestling, it isn't hard to push a few teams and make a division mean something. It took four guys to re-establish tag team wrestling in 99 Edge, Christian and The Hardy's, then you added the Dudleys and you got an actual draw. Why can't WWE do that anymore?

And since when is getting behind an Uso push akin to fucking slapping Daniel Bryan and Dean Ambrose, what do they even have to do with that? What, we are not allowed to get behind an actual tag team anymore?

Pushing more tag teams wouldn't make Raw go longer, it just frees up clogged midcard positions..........a fucking derrrrrr.

Yeah a lot of people were happy with the Hell No/Shield stuff as it felt like the tag titles actually mattered for a little while, Now with Hell no done I guess people just wanna see the tag team division still stay strong. I mean Look at the teams from 2011 up till now. Most of the strong teams are done, Rhode Scholars are done, Team Hell No are done, Rey & Cara are all but done, Plus you had teams like Kofi/Truth done, Otherside of the Shield most of the teams are not really credible. Usos, PTP, Primo/Epico & 3MB. The only real credible team are Swagger & Cesaro. Guess the Wyatt's too but I doubt they are gonna be involved in the title picture for now.

I wouldn't even say it's a case of needing more tag teams, Just more big name and credible tag teams.

As I mentioned before on a thread similar to this, WWE just doesn't seem to have the ability to juggle more than 2 tag teams at the same time. They'll have their two featured tag teams (Shield/Hell No) and will do some good stuff with them but pretty much neglect the other teams and so when the feud is over between their main two teams, they're left scrambling around trying to rebuild a bunch of jobbers (The Uso's) at a rapid pace. Rinse repeat.

 

[John McHenry]

They have plenty of teams. But how often do you see these teams? As Dale said you'll see the team feuding with the champs and the champs once thats over the one team disappears for months on end. This is often done without any story or build or if it does have a build it's very minimal. Hell No Shield was great but once it was over you knew it was over. Not to mention that wasn't a tag team in the way that the usos PTP and shield feel like that was two pretty popular guys that creative didn't have anything for individually.

 

[Andrew]

Epico and Primo haven't been used in so long. Tons of Funk barely on TV now. It's weird.

 

[CGS]

Actually forgot Tons of Funk even existed. With all these teams WWE could at least push 4 of them at once. Especially when you consider you have like 6/7 hours of TV a week.

Two tag teams do not make a division. Two tag teams equals a feud.

I want an actual tag team division where they regularly feature half a dozen tag teams in storylines over the six hours of wrestling they have each week on television. Involve the other teams in some storylines rather than focussing solely on two teams around the title scene. Use The Colons, Tons of Funk, PTP and now Wyatt Family in storylines that revolve around the titles.

I also suggest you watch the title match between The Shield and The Uso's in the MITB pre show. That is a quality tag team match and shows why The Uso's deserve to be pushed.

 

[Keith]

I do think the Division has improved and like the Uso's too. Still a long way to go but at least they now have three or four teams who they build a division around.

The formula is simple. Fire some of the midcarders that won't ever go anywhere. Big E Langston, Hunico, JTG, Great Khali, Justin Gabriel, Kofi Kingston, Yoshi Tatsu, Zack Ryder.

There, fire those 8 and you free up some space for the current tag teams to have air time.

 

[Embrace Thou Maryse]

Never fire Big E Langston! The guys comedy gold on Twitter and will be the most over person in WWE if they turn him face and give him a mic.

Great logic right there considering 6 out of 8 guys on there don't even get airtime anyway..

Big E's airtime is only as a sidekick to AJ and Kofi has been off of TV for 2 months or whatever it is.

There's only one thing here that's simple and it's damn sure not the formula.
