Here's an idea I had: In his promos, Jack Swagger starts talking about his college days and how he and his frat brothers in Alpha Sigma Slam used to kick ass, party, and beat up any little dweebs (like, say, Daniel Bryan or Matt Striker who is doing the interviews) that got in the way of their good time. After a few weeks of wearing the Alpha Sigma Slam ring and t-shirts, Swagger informs the interviewer that there is a national reunion and he's going to bring WWE cameras inside for the first time. When he gets to the frat party, there is Alex Riley in a toga. "Dude, I didn't know you were a Sigma!" Instant bond and they start "hazing" Striker (who's there to do the interview). Alpha Sigma Slam is born - Brother Swagger and Brother A-Ry are obnoxious frat boys who "haze" smaller guys and bully people with two-on-one. If they get over, you have the option of adding more "Brothers" - perhaps introduce a new guy as their muscle or a diva as a "sorority sister." Natural heels - everybody hates frat boys and these two could play it to a T. I like this alot.

Here's another one I came up with:
Santino is hanging out in the back being his goofy self when he sees a stuffed horse head lying around. He freaks out. The next week, he shows up at the arena, thinking he was followed. He is no longer fun-loving Santino. One week, he is walking out to his car and it explodes.
Finally, Josh Matthews asks him what is going on. "Josh, back in Sicilia, my family had... enemies. And I'm afraid they have followed me to the WWE. It's not safe to stay here. I'm putting you all in danger. I've got to say arivaderci, my friends."
As he tries to leave, Josh says "Wait a minute, Santino - if this is your family's problem, don't you have any family that can help you?" A light goes off in Santino's head. He kisses Josh on both cheeks and asks to borrow his phone. He starts speaking in feverish Italian.
The next week, Santino comes to the ring, all smiles. He tells us that the danger is over. As long as he has his cousin by his side, there will be no more problemos. His cousin from Sicily is the answer to all of his problems. He introduces "The Answer" Antonio Cesaro (that dude from FCW - I know he's really Swiss, but I'm sure he can fake an Italian accent). Cesaro dresses like Michael Corleone in the Sicily part of The Godfather. He is all business.
Over the next few weeks and months, Cesaro tells Marella that in order to survive he's got to toughen up. We see a new, kickass side of Santino as they start out as a face team, but slowly get nastier and nastier until they go heel.
The team's name? The Cobra Nostra.

Being the dick that I can be at times, I quote myself from the "Bobby Lashley Wants to Return" thread' regarding the newly minted team of Lashley and Sheamus. (channeling the voice of The Fink): "Ladies and Gentlemen, hailing from Cape Horn, South Africa, weighing in at a collective 260 kilos, presenting The Carnivores, Black Panther and White Tiger!" There ya go, kids...instant tag team champions! The backstory: Sheamus and Lashley are cannibals from the no man's land, Afrikkaners who wear scary masks as they enter the ring. They remove those to reveal that beneath them are Lucha Libre style masks of the big cats of Africa. Exiled from their homeland for unspeakable crimes, shortly after their debut vignettes we see them arriving stateside accompanied by their sleazy British manager (Regal? Barrett?) and super-hot valet The Pink Pussycat. Black Panther and White Tiger destroy the baby face current tag team champions in a pay-per-view debut. If you didnt order the show you missed it, and see only a 30 second film clip of their victory at SummerSlam. The evil manager's constant interference ensures that The Carnivores keep a stranglehold on the titles for a long time, much like a latter-day Demolition. ...and did I mention how their beautiful valet The Pink Pussycat is the best looking chick ever employed by WWE? Anybody like this scenario?

Too bad WWE creative didn't use this idea when they initially called up Riley to the main roster.

Another thing they can do - they take bets on the outcomes of matches. When they need someone to take a dive, they try to intimidate them. When they don't take a dive, they interfere in the matches to make sure they lose. The possibilities of future feuds are endless.

Tyson Kidd, Brian Kendrick, Kaval, or The KKK Connection, the accidental racists who don't know why every black guy in the company wants to kick their asses. Win titles. Defend Freebird style. Feud with New Nation that inevitably forms out of this mess.
Is that racist? Not intended to be. Just pure wrestlecrap, which is better than the current tag division to me. If it's gong to be mediocre, may as well be hilarious and nonsensical. Worked like a charm in SVR 11.

Bring in Jake Roberts for a week or two and team him with R-Truth.

Justin Gabriel and Hunico as The Natural Born Thrillers - the team that is both willing and able to do things that other teams (and wrestlers) only dream about. (I realize that this concept has virtually nothing in common with the old WCW stable. I just simply like the name.)

I'd like to see Barrett and McIntyre start a team. Regal could be their manager. McIntrye is worried about getting axed. Regal comes to him and suggests he hook himself to the Barrett barrage to gain some momentum. I picture them as kind of an old-school British team, honing in on Barrett and Regal's reputation as bareknuckle fighters and such. Team name: The Blackpool Brawlers.
