Tag Teams that Should have been Champions

Chavo and Drew McIntyre

[Metalheadbanger Man]

I'll say Jesse & Festus too.

Another vote for Mark Henry & D'Lo Brown. What could have it hurt giving them a short reign? The New Age Outlaws didn't NEED the tag titles to get over, but having D'Lo & Mark Henry winning the titles would have solidified the Nation as a stable that isn't to be taken lightly.

Here's an odd one, Junkyard Dog & George Steele. Might be the "hindsight being 20/20" thing here, but you're telling me you can't sandwich a quick short-term reign for these guys in 1987 against the Hart Foundation?
Think about it this way: While they were WWF Tag Team Champions, the Hart Foundation would defend their titles at house shows, but they would only defend them against the winner of an 8-team tournament that took place earlier in the evening. Not one team could get a fluke win, not even a curiosity win?
(Could have added this to the "Thank You" reigns on the other thread. Thank George for all the years of sadism, and thank the JYD for being such a draw. I would prefer it being JYD & Tito Santana, who were a good team, but Tito ended up winning the belts again with Rick Martel, so I'm not complaining about that.)

Jimmy Wang Yang and Shannon Moore should've gotten a chance to become tag champs. They where over and constantly getting the better of Miz and Morrison.

The Heavenly Bodies

Power and Glory

[repomark]

The Rockers is definitely the most obvious one. Others:

The Orient Express
Fabulous Rougeaus (Just for the theme music)
Bret Hart and Owen Hart
Allied Powers
Beverley Brothers
Rhythm and Blues
T and A
Mega Powers
Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior
Power and Glory
Can Am Connection
Killer Bees

Actually didn't realise Cryme Tyme never won the belts. I actually thought they did! Shows how much attention I pay to the tag division nowadays.

[Above Average]

Dudebusters
Vance Archer/Curt Hawkins
Kai en Tai
Rockers
Heart Throbs

[MolotovMocktail]

The Rockers
Fabulous Rougeau Brothers
The Killer Bees
Power & Glory
The Orient Express
High Energy

[Ryback on a Pole!]

Wang Yang & Moore
Jesse and Festus
Regal and Taylor
The Dudebusters
Cryme Tyme
SES
Mark Henry and Big Daddy V

Would have liked all of them to get a run with the belts, especially Henry and V who, with Striker as their manager, could have had a great tag-team reign.

Straight Edge Society. Boy did they drop the ball with that stable.

I won't. I will fully agree and 100% support this. I mean, you watch some of the old Royal Rumble DVDs and just LISTEN to the ovation they're getting, and the see the fans "doing the Bushwhacker"....they were red hot, and they ought to have had a run with the belts. Wouldn't have had to been a long one...but they should have had at least ONE run.

Hell, they could have built great heat off of say, the Natural Disasters CRUSHING the poor Bushwhackers for the belts.

Plus, it could've lead into the Bushwackers showing off their violent Sheepherder side which would've been awesome.

In kid-friendly WWF? Not very likely.

Yes they did. The belts helped them get noticed and were able to run with it. They were too over not to have them.

I don't see what purpose the tag team belts would serve the Nation of Domination as the group focused on The Rock. Mark Henry and D'lo Brown were just lackeys. If they held the belts after The Nation broke up then I'd be okay with it, since their personalities were showing, but not while they were in the group.

Rockers
Powers of Pain (should've been the ones to beat Demolition)
Cryme Tyme (should've beaten Priceless instead of Punk/Kofi)
The Fabulous Rougeaus

Orient Express (Tanaka/Kato version)

Rougeaus.... good call. Man, they were great heels.

I miss tag teams.

I wouldn't describe it so much as dropping the ball as it was dropping an entire box of balls.

[TheMediocreWarrior]

Kaientai. They were finally getting over in 2001. I think they would have won the titles if it weren't for the Invasion storyline overshadowing everything that was going on before.

Matt Hardy and Tatanka. What was the point of having them go over in a non-title match with MNM? I guess it should have been the first sign that Tatanka's return was going to be "meh" when his surprise return isn't even for the belts.

Big Daddy V and Mark Henry- They were a great monster team and should've at least had a longer stint together.

Cryme Tyme- Why were they never champs? Seriously? They were over and had good double team manuevers.

The Heart Throbs- They were big in OVW and had a good gimmick going for them. But apparently it was more important to put it on a team made by two singles wrestlers instead of an actual team.

K-Kwik and Road Dogg

They were pretty over. If road dogg hadn't got released (think it was 2-3 months after they formed). It could have happened.

Although they did win the tag titles in TNA together.

[Madagascar Fred]

Cryme Tyme (2008 or 2009)
Rockers (1990 or 1991)
Mark Henry & D'Lo Brown (1998 or 1999)

The Mean Street Posse and I don't care what anyone says. Pete Gas & Rodney should have held the belts at least once. Even if it was for a short time. Here is a good example of that.

During The Hardyz and E&C feud, one night on Sunday Night Heat, The Posse challenged Matt & Jeff to a match with the tag titles on the line. We find out the E&C set it up for The Posse to face Hardyz because Foldy said that as long as Matt & Jeff were the champions E&C wouldn't be able to face them again. So they have The Posse be in the match and if The Posse won, E&C would get their shot the next night on RAW against The Posse. Even though E&C helpped Pete & Rodney, the Hardy still won the match.

What should have happened is have the biggest upset win and have The Posse win the tag titles and then they face E&C on Monday Night RAW but then have Foley come out and add The Hardyz into it making it a Triple Threat Match and have Matt & Jeff win the titles back by pinning either Edge or Christain and still keeping the feud alive. That's what should have happened. Even if the Posse would have been a transitional win they still should've held the titles for the hard work they have done during their time in WWE.

Jericho and Edge... Wait...
