The Dusty Rhodes Memorial Tag Team Classic

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

So this was announced by William Regal during Takeover, starting in a couple of weeks on NXT TV. Now there's an old-school idea that I didn't expect to be brought back... reviving the Crockett Cup concept.

Who should win it? How should the teams be decided, established teams or Lethal Lottery random pairings? What should the prize be? Discuss.

[MGH]

Obvious answer for prize is the #1 contendership to the Vaudevillains' titles.

And the winners? READY, WILLING, AND GABLE.

[Martin: #TeamBella Treasurer]

With Liger's recent involvement, this tourney could be wide open with NXT, WWE and folks from outside the company involved. Looking forward to it

This tournament absolutely has to end on a face getting screwed via a bullshit DQ or a reverse decision or something.

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

Neato. I love a good tournament, especially with tag teams.

[rippo]

I hope the tag teams are completely random and we get the likes of Viktor and Jey Uso teaming together.

[Johnny Flamingo]

Looking forward to this. I miss when tag team matches would main event shows so I'm hoping this is a start of WWE really taking the tag division as a serious part of the show.

Please let it be a lottery

[Cranjis McBasketball]

Lethal Lottery, always a cool concept or even Cyber Sunday style fan voting on teams might be sweet...

[Error]

Bring in some indie teams, maybe have some of the lower main roster teams make it, all the NXT tag teams and take a cue from PWG and make every match with the champs a tag team title match.

Gotta say, seeing the words "Dusty Rhodes Memorial" is just so sad.

Give me Londrick, please?

Only if there's a segment where Regal tells them they're facing two monsters, London smiles at him, and Regal just silently glares for a minute.

Literally one minute. And it turns into a contest to make the other crack first.

Tornaments are almost always good, because they instantly add greater stakes to every match and that's what makes NXT so good.

Deuce N Domino return or I riot

[saintpat]

As proper tribute, every match ends with a Dusty Finish.

[Dr. Bolty, Disaster Enby]

I've noticed that NXT seems to be focusing on putting the non-indy guys in tag teams, lately, which seems to me like a great way to build up the new talents without them being overshadowed by the big time singles guys.

So I fully approve of this tournament.

[Paco]

I would love it if it was Lethal Lottery.

[häšhtå.gdālėÿ]

Are the Motor City Machine Guns still a thing? That would be cool.

[Mister Pigwell]

The way he worded the explanation makes me think this is going to have some outside talent in it.
