B. Brian Blair and "Jumpin" Jim Brunzell were one of the best known tag teams in the World Wrestling Federation in the 1980s. I've seen some matches from them and they were pretty good. Their speed, agility, and unique gimmick(they would both wear masks to confuse their opponents) were over with the fans. They've always been contenders for the gold, but never won them, which I think is a shame considering they were one of the best teams out there. Does anybody know why they were never tag team champs?

Same reason the Rougeau Brothers weren't. Too many awesome tag teams. One tag team title. You had the Harts, the Bulldogs, Can-Am/Strike Force, The Powers of Pain, The Brain Busters, Shiek and Volkoff, Demolition, and on and on. Lots of good teams, lots of competition.

Well you see, they never were able to pin one of the champions' shoulders to the mat for a 3 count or cause him to submit.

They were too small I guess. There really needed to have an Intercontinental tag title back in the mid to late 80's

I think it was because neither of them had the charisma needed. Like they were charismatic as boots, I always found them very plain even thought they were decent in the ring.

Blair was fairly tight with Hogan, but I'd heard that McMahon never really liked Brunzell. That could explain it. Blair has claimed that the Bees were promised the tag belts three different times during their run, but always the plans were changed, and that's eventually why Blair quit the WWF, leaving Brunzell to become a JTTS.
Their best chance to be champions was probably in early 1987 when the Harts won the belts, since they'd been working with (and defeating) the Harts for months before that. But like other posters have already mentioned, (1) the Bees were pretty uncharismatic, and (2) there were way too many other teams who made better contenders. Once the Can-Ams showed up, the Bees' window was pretty much over.

I guess the belt wouldn't be worth much if every team got a turn with it.
