Watch a lot of old wrestling from the 90s and what really baffles me is the amount of tag teams they try to repackage as The New
New Blackjacks
New Midnight Express
New Rockers
Has there ever been a case where this worked?or where 'The New' tag team was even half decent?

Not in the spirit of what you're asking but The New Day.

It CAN work you just can't explicitly put 'The New X' in the name or people will balk at it.
For example, if you called a group 'The New NWO' that would never get over, but if you were to call them, off the top of my head, 'Schmullet Schlub'...

I actually really liked New Blackjacks. They were just 10 years too late with that gimmick.

They didn't call them "the new," but the original new Midnight Express, as in Bobby Eaton and Stan Lane.

Unless we are in some indy parody fed( or Nintendo and New Super Mario Bros.) where you can put New and just kinda roll with the gimmick of it being lame no. Just name it the old thing and go on. We can figure it out.

We can figure it out. Doesn't always work though. WWE's version of The Pitbulls weren't really as relatively prolific as ECW's, for example. |

I mean one version had a shitty match with Shane Douglas the other didn't.... who won in that? |

In the same vein, what's the most successful wrestler/team with '2000' after their name?

When Bryan turned heel in WWE and got the Vegan friendly WWE title didn’t he start calling himself ‘The New’ Daniel Bryan?
