Curious about examples of tag teams that broke up, either due to a falling out or amicable, and one guy got repackaged with a completely new theme and totally different gear while the other kept the team's theme and gear (or very close to it). Here are the ones I can think of:
-Hart Foundation (Bret keeps the theme and style of gear, Jim becomes an MC Hammer race car driver) -Rockers (Marty keeps the theme and the gear or similar style, Shawn became HBK) -Shield (Only Roman keeps the gear and theme, Seth and Dean change their gear and themes) -Hardy Boyz (Jeff kept the theme and gear, Matt changed up his gear and became V1) -Dudleys (Bubba kept the theme and gear, Devon became the Reverend)

High Energy (Owen becomes the King of Harts; Koko keeps the theme and still wears the checkered pants and suspenders)

APA. They both kept the gear and theme the first time. The second time Bradshaw changed it up while Ron kept the gear and theme when they bring him back.
Edit. Ron did add some Damns to the theme but it is mostly the same.

High Energy (Owen becomes the King of Harts; Koko keeps the theme and still wears the checkered pants and suspenders) Owen kept the theme song (until 1997) actually. How about the Steiners? Rick kept the airbrushed singlet after the breakup, and I think he kept Steinerized for a time as well. American Males are a good example as well, until joining the flock, Scotty Riggs still had the American Males theme and tights.

Strike Force-Martel got a new gimmick and new gear while Tito still stayed in his Strike Force gear until becoming El Matador two and a half years later.

Davey Boy Smith kept his team attire and took the name for himself as well. How bizarre!

Not really one guy. But when the Worlds Greatest Tag team stopped tagging.. Shelton kept the Attire and Hass kept the theme I believe.

I'm surprised it took 4 hours to mention Tito. He was the poster guy for this thread. Even a year+ after he changed gimmicks, his Hasbro toy card had the white trunks photo, it's like that's what he was really known for.

High Energy (Owen becomes the King of Harts; Koko keeps the theme and still wears the checkered pants and suspenders) The Chikara tribute act N_R_G did much the same. Hype Rockwell kept everything, Race Jaxon went under "That Young and Handsome" then became BLANK.

Bart Gunn kept the Smokin Gunn look until the New Midnight Express

Bart Gunn kept the Smokin Gunn look until the New Midnight Express I don't know if Billy had the Gunns theme between his neck injury and Rockabilly but it was funny both he and Bart kept the theme at Survivor Series 96 Free For All. And funny Jim Ross said Billy wearing the black hat means he's a nasty cowboy and a few months later JR would be wearing a black hat.

New Blackjacks. Windham went back to blond and no mustache, but Bradshaw kept the mustache and the same gear for months (as well as the Blackjack name for a while).
