Brother Tag teams n Pro Wrestling

[CanadianCrippler12]

In pro wrestling we see brother tag teams pop up on our tv screens and I'm not talking about fake brother teams like Edge & Christian or Undertaker & Kane, I'm talking about real brothers like the Steiner Bros. Rick & Scott, Harlem Heat, Stevie Ray & Booker T and The Hardyz Matt & Jeff.

Now, let me ask you, what do these three teams have in common? They all have one successful brother and one that has wiped up into jobber status or mediocre status, now my next question? Why is it that Booker, Scott and Jeff have had successful careers compared to their brothers?

And are their any other brothers where one was a huge star and the other on a decline into an early retirement?

i'm a long time wrestling fan, harlem heat use to be the only tag team i watched in wcw, in turn booker was my favorite of the 2, why one brother goes on while the other stays behind i think with steiners i think attitude and looks is what made scott a higher card than rick, i dont think wcw would want a champion that barked all the time lol, between booker and stevie ray, booker was the better wrestler(my opinion) better in ring, mic skill etc, now the hardys, jeff but on better show than matt, but neither had good mic skills, jeff just became more popular and i guess that why they pushed him harder than matt

Jeff got famous because of the risks he took. While Matt also took risks, he was just never near as interesting or appealing as Jeff. People always wanted Jeff to win the WWE title and waited near a decade for it to happen while most people just forgot about matt. Like Jbell said about Booker, he really just had that "IT" factor and stevie ray was just kind of like "there". Its how it always is though, one brother has it and the other doesn't. They could be the exact same, hell even twins of looks, mic skills, ring skills, yet WWE would just pick one guy to push and fade the other into mid card hell or future endeavored
