Moore Wang are really putting on good matches.
Miz/Morrison seem like they're here to stay for the time being.
Deuce & Domino are still a pretty solid heel team.
Jesse & Festus are tag team of the year in my book.
Then there's some guys called the Major Something, or they used to be called that, I don't know, or care.
Also, you have Shelton and Elijah just kind of floating around. Both extremely talented young guys with very similar gimmicks (cocky but talented athletes with big mouths) on the same show, ECW. They would make a fantastic team.
With at least 4 solid teams across both brands, possibly 5 if Shelton and Elijah team up, maybe 6 if you want to count Mizark/Big Daddy Mabel (and the Major somethings to do the job), it seems like the E could set the table for a very solid tag team division going into 08. You could toss in CM Punk/Kane as well.
I would really like to see most of the guys I've listed here stay on the Blue Show/ECW and see the tag division really fill out. They could really make the straps meaningful. I'm sure at least one of these teams will get broken up by the draft though (wouldn't be surprised to see Punk end up on Raw, for instance).

Eh, not a golden age. But its an actual tag division, and that in itself is a huge improvement.

Moore/Wang.
Miz/Morrison.
Shelton/Elijah.
Mark Henry/Big Daddy V.
Cm Punk/Kane.
All of these guys you just mentioned are supposed to be SINGLES wrestlers. They've just been pushed together to help fill up the card. They're not REAL tag teams - only Deuce and Domino, The Major Bros and Jesse and Festus from your list match that description.
The sooner WWE signs up REAL tag teams instead of putting midcarders together for no real reason other than they have nothing to do with them, then perhaps we may see a "Golden Age" in 2008. As of now, these teams are piss-breaks.

You had say 15 tag teams on at any given year. They were just tag team wrestlers, not singles guys. Demolition, Strike Force, The Killer Bees, The Hart Foundation, The British Bulldogs, The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers, The Rockers, The Legion of Doom, The Natural Disasters, Money, Incorporated, The Young Stallions, The Dream Team, The Steiner Bros, The Beverly Bros, etc. Those teams were on the roster all at the time period of about 1986-1993. That was the golden age... It's gonna be hard to top that. |

As of now, these teams are piss-breaks. Are you serious? Morrison/Miz have been putting on some seriously good matches on ECW and Smackdown. They're developing into a darn good tag team and their gimmicks fit together extremely (lame pun alert) well. I definitely don't understand how they can be considered a "piss-break" team. Yang/Moore? They're two highly talented crusierweights who have floundered in a singles division, but have helped Morrison/Miz steal the show the last two weeks on ECW. I really don't see how that is a bad thing. Henry/V seemed to be a new age "Twin Towers" with V as Akeem and Henry as Bossman (Of course, Bossman was much better...). Two powerhouses walking through anything in their path, being led by a Napoleon-like intelligent manager who got Henry to join V so that he'd have more power to wield. Shelton/Elijah haven't even teamed together. Elijah was just Shelton's excuse to move over because they are "friends." It seems like after the initial few weeks, Burke is letting his "buddy" work on his own while he goes after the big fishes. I guess what this all breaks down to is that I'm confused to what you mean by "Real" tag teams? So, if a team doesn't debut as a tag team...they don't count? |

Also, the first golden age of tag teams lasted until the end of I believe Money, Inc. You're far more generous than I am on this. I consider the end of the golden age to be early 1991, specifically WM7 when the Nasty Boys beat the Hart Foundation, Power and Glory were fed to the LOD, and Demolition more or less took their final bow. After that, what were you left with? The Rockers broke up a few months later. The Nastys and the Beverly Brothers never struck me as being in the same league as the teams from 1985-1990. The LOD were watered down from their former selves. The Disasters were big, and that's about it. And Money Inc. was basically formed out of necessity to stand out among the mess. By the time the Steiners showed up, the division was already in the toilet, and the occasional great team like the Quebecers wasn't enough to bring it back. Back on topic to 2007, WWE can't begin to have a real tag division until the majority of the teams have real team names. Every great team has a name, or so they say. |

I can understand that you have no desire to watch them because of your own personal feelings. However, I personally feel that since becoming the tag champions, they have been part of some very good tag team matches...usually on ECW where they can get more time. You may not want to watch them, but that doesn't change the fact that they are impressing those who do watch. |

If they do well, more power to them, don't hate them or anything just don't have an interest in them. |

The only problem I have with Miz and Morrison is that they shouldn't be a team in the first place.
I think both of them have potential as singles wrestlers, but putting them together as a team is a backwards step. Especially for Morrison, who's wayyyy past being part of a team.

As of now, these teams are piss-breaks. To be fair a lot of good/great teams started that same exact way, as just midcarders thrown together randomly. How about the APA? That has to be one of the most random teams ever; one week Justin "Hawk" Bradshaw and Faarooq just showed up being managed by the Jackyl with weird symbols drawn on their chest as a tag team. |
