After Los Guerrero's broke up Eddie immediately went on to be WWE champion.
Chavo would lose his Cruiserweight title to Jacqueline and his own Father before turning into a white guy.

In terms of sheer disproportion between members of a tag team and where they went on the card afterwards, Super Brutality (Rhea Ripley/Nikki ASH) has to be up there.

I think there are worse, but not a lot.
Tucker was one of those situations where you knew he was just absolutely doomed as soon as the split happened.

I guess Jannetty's career wasn't so bad after the Rockers split up. I wouldn't call it good, though. Otis was always the star of that team. We always knew he'd be the break-out star. Tucker showed no signs of being marketable. The tragic thing with Jannetty is that it was obvious people wanted to give him a push but he couldn’t stay out if his own way. There were a lot of people who thought he would be the star of the two.

I remember coming back into wrestling at the time and I was like why is Chavo now pretending to be white in golfing gear...not what I expected to see after a 4 year break

Maybe this doesn’t count, but I don’t remember anything that either of the Bashem’s did after they were split up. How long did they even stay in the company after going solo?

I mean after he turned Heel, Tucker's first act was getting squashed by Ricochet and then getting rekt by Retribution. So, his future was in the gutters from the outset. If one of the Biggest Idiot's Ever can kick your ass then that really does mean that you are nothing and you should just go home and lay on the couch for the rest of your life and rethink how you got to this point in your life.

They both had individual gimmicks for a few months. Danny had a gothic gimmick while Doug was "The Bash Man". They both disappeared from TV after this until mid 2006 when they re-emerged as Paul Heyman's security in ECW. They were then released in early 2007.

If Cody finishes his story, then Damien Sandow has to be in running for biggest fall off. If Bitchhalla had existed in 2013, he would have ascended into it with his failed cash-in, becomes a stunt double, then becomes a cosplayer then leaves the company while his former tag team partner is the most over face in the company. I don’t think Sandow is the biggest falloff of the tag teams Cody has been with. I think that prize goes to Ted, that mfer is facing jail time lol In real life, that is a bigger fall off, but in kayfabe Ted wouldn't have ended up in Bitchhalla quite like Sandow would have.

Maybe not the worst ever but a big name that never gets mentioned in these type of threads? Greg “The Hammer” Valentine. Just sort of meandered around the midcard for years while Brutus the Barber became one of the most over acts in the company. "The Hammer" had a solid 10-year run before The Dream Team, when he was one of the top heels in the entire industry, winning PWI's Most Hated Wrestler of the Year three times. He was one of the biggest names in Mid-Atlantic and had a nearly year-long Intercontinental Championship reign in the early 1980s. Sure, he was never as big of a name after the breakup of The Dream Team, but he was on the back-nine of his career and he was still an extremely reliable hand in the ring.

One appearance on Heat and he was off TV. I think Doug made a few appearances that may have stretched over a few months. But not sure. Both new gimmicks made it into a game though.

Jim Powers. After the Young Stallions split he went back to being a literal jobber until about 1993.
Jim Brunzell. Ditto after the Killer Bees split.
Boris Zhukov. I cannot think of anything he did after the Bolsheviks split except for a poor showing on Sgt Slaughter's Survivor Series team.
Possibly all still better than Tucker!

They always had some sort of plan with him. When the mid card titles were at their lows in 2005, Jannetty winning the IC or US title could've worked.

You forgot 1993 return because he was fired after RR93.

So this means he got fired twice in the same year TWICE. 1993 and 2006. You could say demons, but honestly, when you get 6-7 chances in your life where your employer brings you back and gives you a nice gig and you mess up? Yeah, it's on you.

There was an issue of WCW magazine that had a picture of him on the “ fan letters” page and the response was that Jannetty was aiming for cruiserweight gold and maybe bigger things I think WCW had plans for him as well. He was an amazing talent.
