I miss... The Basham Brothers

[Winds-Of-Change]

I loved The Bashams. It was during that time that I believe tag teams started to fade out and they were practically the only established tag team left.

They gave a great match with Eddie Guerrero & Rey Mysterio at.. No Way Out 2005 If I remember correctly. Such an underrated team..
When we read about WWE bringing back past stars to give the roster depth, these guys should be brought back to establish the tag division. I know they were hardly The New Age Outlaws or The Dudley Boyz in terms of being over and longevity as a team, but they were great workers, Doug Basham especially is a solid, solid worker. Bring them back WWE! I miss them also

Wow, they really did have their share of fans.

Well, I guess it was only me then who saw nothing special about them at all. Honestly, I didn't think they were very good. Their wrestling was solid, alright, but nothing out of the ordinary. If they did have some magic feuding against each other in OVW, I saw no evidence of that in their tag team.

As for Shaniqua, I thought she was kinda gross and clumsy. The gross-part is a matter of taste, I grant.

Then there was that Bondage & S&M gimmick. Sheesh. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem whatsoever with the subject of BDSM. But that doesn't mean I want that anywhere near my weekly wrestling fix. I like to keep my rasslin and fetishes separate, thank you very much. Way to remind me that I'm actually looking at oiled up half-naked men all the time...

And then the WWE didn't waste any time slapping the tag titles on them. That was at a time in the WWE when all you needed to do to become tag team champions was to be a tag team. That's the one thing I'll say for the Basham's - at least they were a real tag team and not two entirely different guys with no team name and separate looks and entrances...

All in all, I thought they were pretty forgettable. But evidently that's just me.

I liked them as a team, and I remember them most in JBL's cabinet. I honestly didn't like the dominatrix thing as it was kinda weird even by WWE standards. With today's tag division the way it is, I actually long for more teams like the Bashams. Teams that look like teams. They weren't the greatest team ever, but they had a good team look and put on good matches. I wouldn't say I miss them, but I sure do miss teams like them.
