This has always struck me during their entire run and even today. You had the most over tag team in a stagnant division, and you rather give the belts to A)Bland midcard single guys who have nothing better to do or B)Main Eventers who don't need them.
Here's another thing, every time they challenged for the titles and lost, they never tried to pursue them shortly afterwards, they were like "oh well, better luck next time" which did not suit their characters at all. Really, they should've been like whatever and just stole the belts after repeatedly failing to pursue them and eventually become tag team champions in the process. Stupid move by WWE not to strike while the iron was hot.
Anybody know why they never became champions for non-kayfabe reasons?

I never understood as to why they never got the belts either. They won a shot at NYR2007 and they never followed up on it.

Agreed. Look at all the not so great teams to win them around this time, and Cryme Tyme never won them. They should have been given the belts when they were with Cena, and if Cena didn't get injured, maybe they would have been. But there's no excuse as to why they were never given a run. There's no excuse either as to why, while still being the most over tag team, they were broken up, but that's another story for another thread...

a) If they hadn't got released that time the feud with Cade and Murdoch would have led to the belts
b) Shad was a lousy worker.

I don't know why they never win the tag belts either. I remeber they had a match where if they lost they would never get a title shot again. They won that match and got a shot at the belts next week. Do you know what happened?
They lost.
Seriously, one of the biggest wastes ever. I don't know, maybe when JTG gets released he and Shad can reunite and go to TNA or ROH where tag teams are at least semi important.

It's because they were black. And the WWE never pushes black people.
(Well someone was bound to say it, figured I'd get it out of the way. Also....NEW NATION!)

They went out of their way to make Cryme Tyme as irrelevant as possibl towards the end, so I guess they just didn't want anything to do with them.

I really thought they were going to win the belts at Summerslam against Jerishow(and then probably lose them back on tv or the next ppv).

Didn't they win them at a house show once and it was overturned before the next RAW,or was that Cade and Murdoch?

Because I hated Cryme Tyme.
Yeah, that's right. That's my reasoning.

They stole those from Cade and Murdoch. They didn't win them. |
