I believe a Real Americans vs. Los Matadores feud is coming up. Probably even with a match at the upcoming PPV. Idk if that would end up on PPV. With the way that WWE pushes and presents its talent, there are way too many "top guys" who WWE feels compelled to have on EVERY show. WWE TV is like an ongoing series of All Star Games. In addition to Cena/Del Rio and Bryan/Orton, Punk/Ryback/Heyman, a possible tag title rematch, WWE has to make time for Big Show's match, The Miz's match, Dolph Ziggler's match (despite them being depushed/"buried", they're still "main eventers" presentation-wise). And if Kane, Sheamus, Christian, Henry, Rey, and possibly Barrett weren't all MIA, they'd all have matches as well. There are just too many guys who have booking priority over the tag teams and the midcard in general. I'm just going by online rumors. I believe it. Real Americans got a match on the last PPV and Los Matadores are being pushed enough for a PPV filler debut. You might be right that it's because so many guys are injured/MIA but there are plenty of spots to go around on PPV lately.

"The Shield was awful as champs."

I don't see how people can still do the "Just see what they do, you guys" after Monday. It was yet another team-thats-not-a-tag-team that won the titles. Again. This won't change. Bringing up the PTPs, the Usos, Kidd & Gabriel, the Ascension, whoever...why? Being brothers makes you automatically qualify as a tag team. It's virtually a wrestling rule. If being fake brothers is enough to be a team, actual ones are plenty.

Rome wasn't re-built in a day. Since assassinating people has fallen out of favor with the mass populace, we're just going to have to wait around for Caligula to die.

For all the obvious parallels between delusions of godhood and a fascination with incest, it's a pity Vince doesn't have a horse he can appoint as the new head of WWE Creative. If given free reign and not micromanaged, I'm sure it could produce some quality angles.

Bringing up the PTPs, the Usos, Kidd & Gabriel, the Ascension, whoever...why? from my perspective if you've got blood relatives on the roster they're not a team that's not a team. In fact they're the exact opposite, they're a potential team even when they are not a team.

Just because the teams you like haven't won the belts doesn't mean there isn't a pretty good tag division.

Cody and Goldust won't be champs long. I wish there was another heel tag team to segue the belts to the Prime Time Players. Wyatt Family or Real Americans could easily swoop in and win the tag titles. With shield pre-occupied with Big Show and Dbry, things get different Though i really hope shield just wins the belts back A TLC match with Shield vs Usos vs Real Americans vs Los MAtadores just sounds like money. Imagine el torito flying off the ladder

The only reason they had credibility was because they were pushed as a main event level threat. And that's only because Kane and Daniel Bryan "needed" a main event level threat to take the titles from THEM. The only reason Team Hell No were even working with the Shield to begin with was because WWE would never let Bryan and Kane actually work with the other teams. WWE felt that Kane and Bryan were needed more in the main event scene. Whenever there were two spots that needed to be filled in a main event storyline, instead of elevating someone else to fill those spots, WWE would just throw Team Hell No into the angles without regard for the tag titles. WWE will probably rationalize that working in the tag division is "beneath" Cody and will "kill his heat", so he and Goldust won't do much with the belts either To me, it doesn't matter WHY The Shield needed the credibility, it's just the matter these guys have credibility and everyone who has ever had to do a match against those guys comes out looking better than they did going in. How many tag teams have that? I get what you're saying, though I wouldn't say The Shield were bad champs because of it. Really, the only thing that would keep the titles as useless props would be WWE seeing certain people as "above" the titles. It's just man, WWE and their shit... It's not like the US or IC titles. No tag team should be "above" the tag titles because there isn't a tiered system like they have with their singles men titles. So it's like, you've got Team Hell No. They're the champs. Put those fools into feuds with your tag teams for the titles. I know they don't do that but hey, them not doing that gets us where we are now where a few titles are on the cusp. At best they only mattering when the people who hold them normally matter, otherwise WWE sees it as a waste to book champs in feuds. Really, the entire point of The Shield (because they won't be staying together forever) is to use them to put over people who need it. Big Show doesn't need them. Honestly, neither do the Rhodes Boys. It's the Usos. The Usos are more over for having worked with The Shield than they were before, even if they don't have the belts. And Cody has definitely benefitted from working with them.

For all the obvious parallels between delusions of godhood and a fascination with incest, it's a pity Vince doesn't have a horse he can appoint as the new head of WWE Creative. Didn't Mickie James leave TNA, though?

It's not so much that "the people we like should have the belts" so much as the people currently holding the belts are most likely only going to dick around the card doing other things and not do much with the titles.

I wish Cody would at least wear those gold trunks again so that he and Goldust can at least sort of kind of look like a team.
