Over the past decade, teams like Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov, Heath Slater and Rhyno, The Corre, and Air Boom have all held tag-team gold in WWE. What do these teams have in common aside from winning the championships? Well, most wrestling fans will barely remember them another 10 years from now.
People are more likely to talk about Demolition (who last held the titles way back in 1990) than the Nexus wannabes that were The Corre, for example. WWE's repeated attempts to shunt two or more performers together because they have nothing else for them as individuals rarely work. The key word there is rarely though because sometimes it leads to magic.
In the past 10 years alone, four of the best teams in WWE history have been born out of the dreaded 'creative has nothing else for you' dilemma. Other notable teams were more traditional tag-teams or groups that showed just how valuable tag wrestling can be when WWE give it a chance.
