Nah. Rico was inexplicably over. That whole thing was just amazing to me. Yeah, Rico was SCARY over. Which made it doubly confusing when they released him and split up that team. Primo and Epico..I imagine, could have had some really good, fast paced matches with Kofi and Evan. Gimmick matches even. Hey, throw in The Uso's. Make the tag titles important. ..But..Evan's gone so..

To be fair, I completely forgot what the belts looked like when Otunga and McGillicutty had them. At least Primo and Epico are featured I suppose.

I still don't know who they are. Actually I do remember them slightly more than the Nexus cast-offs they beat though.

I forgot that they were even the tag champs because they've been booked like shit and don't get enough TV time. It doesn't help that they can't talk to save their lives so the audience has no reason to hate them/care about them losing the titles.

I think they're actually a really credible tag team and are slowly elevating the belts. Since they won the titles their matches have been really good. They had a match with Airboom at a house show that featured a false title switch in Sacramento the day before they won them in Oakland and they got some really good heat throughout the match. The live crowd seems to react to them every time I see them on TV.

The booking of the team is absolutely atrocious, and one of the best (worst?) cases of how bad non-main eventers are written on Raw.

These two were worse - at least primo and epico have matching gear and a manager.

Considering all the big talents that came out of the class of 2002 (Brock, Batista, Cena, Benjamin etc.) the fact that Rico was Cornette's star pupil and still could do so much with so little shows that he's the biggest missed prospect of the past decade.

And to answer your question, Jindrak and Cade, if they won the belts. I don't think they won the belts. They DID, however, get Venis and Storm's Mania spot that they didn't deserve and proceed to waste. I believe the answer is DuKenz.

He wasn't as young or handsome as Cena, didn't have Brock's pedigree, and Batista has a once a generation presence. He was an old rookie saddled with a ridiculous gimmick that I don't think anyone saw getting as far as it did. He could have been this generation's DDP if he was given a proper shot, but I don't think his heart was in it that much.

I found Rico to be incredibly handsome, a well tested and conditioned athlete and, given how much he did with as little as he was given, had potential to have as much of a presence as Batista. Granted, his age was a point of worry, but given how great a shape that he kept himself in, as well as how long his aforementioned contemporaries lasted in the company, he could have gone for at least as long as they did.

It doesn't help that they can't talk to save their lives so the audience has no reason to hate them/care about them losing the titles. The Hardyz were horrible talkers, and they were pretty damn over because of proper booking in the late 90s/early 00s. They need to get the tag titles involved in gimmick matches like Fang said. Tables matches, ladder matches, tornado tag matches that last more than 5 minutes, etc.

They're not the least over, but they certainly are not over.
They need to book proper feuds with them and GET the fans to care about them and the division. Only time will tell if they decide to do that or not.

Deuce and domino If they ever won the titles Not only did they win the tag team titles, they had a long reign. And they didn't get much of a response from the crowd for their entrance. More of a meh instead of boos.

Otunga and McGillicutty?
LIES!
PROPAGANDA!
Otunga will put a stop to all of these lies without even stopping his coffee slurping. You all will be served.

Ryder and Hawkins or Otunga and McGillicutty have to worse. Or how about Hardcore Holly and Cody Rhodes? Hell, Hurricane and Rosey spent their whole reign on Sunday Night HEAT fighting the same jobber team every week. Hurricane and Rosey were over though. Which is the question. Otunga and McGill did get boos as they had the Nexus connection, not a lot but still they did. Don't remember Ryder and Hawkins or Cody and Bob's overness. what about La Resistance? Ignoring the one time Quebec reaction These guys were so over before that though. I remember those boos they got when their gimmick were originally from France.

I actually like epico and primo way moreso than primo and his former partner carlito. They need some talk time though, some type of character development.
I think wwe is trying to create a tag division around one team which was formerly air boom. Thanks to bournes behaviors, it fell through. So they moved onto the net team. Before to long I believe more tag teams will start showing up, however I don't think the division will ever be what it once was.
As for worst team...kane and hurricane or kane and rvd...pretty much kane and anybody.
