Ideas for new tag teams

[truk24]

Possibly pairing up Paul, and Gabriel but not at some rehashed Bulldog gimmick. I would imagine that those two could have played more of a "English mobster" type role. Hard nosed Brits, who hated the Irish espcially, and anyone else that crossed their paths in the WWE/ECW. Those two could have been a solid tag team. I would have named them the Legend of Liverpool, or the "The Sons of Great Britain".

Well, right now I am thinking they are going to go with Sim and Manu, which in my opinion will be boring and short lived. But these might work.

Shelton and MVP I really like both of them, and they would go well together as cocky, tag title chasers. People think MVP is going on to better things, but after his Rumble apperarance, I think he will be in mid for a while. Shelton is a great athlete and I think a tag team with a guy who isn't Charlie Haas could go somewhere.

Kung-Fu Naki and Jimmy Wang Yang The two of them are obviously comic characters but at the same time pretty good wrestlers. Together they would be a good team for the tag division. They could put on some high-paced, high-flying matchups.

Kane and Mike Knox This one seems odd, but my plan for them would to be a big, unbeatable tag team for a bit until suddenly Legacy destroys them to build themselves up. Besides, it would get rid of Knox for a while and give Kane something to do.

The thing is though, all these possibilities are removing wrestlers from the already failing mid-card. This is a problem and maybe why new tag teams arn't being created. I just the writers can throw some guys together and spark the division again.

I would have named them the Legend of Liverpool, or the "The Sons of Great Britain".

If they were true english gangsters/mob etc, they wouldn't be called the legend of liverpool, and certainly not the sons of great britain - as that associates them with northern ireland, scotland and wales.

i do like the idea of a new english tag team/stable though. (yes, i am english) but still. altho i doubt a stable would work coz u would need a main eventer, and the closest english guy to that is william regal n he sucks and should never be a main eventer. with that said i could see him as a leader/mentor of a young tag team.

as for names, lets leave that up to them

Kung-Fu Naki and Jimmy Wang Yang The two of them are obviously comic characters but at the same time pretty good wrestlers. Together they would be a good team for the tag division. They could put on some high-paced, high-flying matchups.

I agree with this.

Jimmy Wang Yang is very talented, for being nothing more than a jobber with a stupid gimmick to amuse morons. Kung-Fu Naki is blatantly becoming a stupid stereo-typical performer, and if they're going to do that to him.. than they might as well make it a better stereo-type.

The Yakuza: Just think for a moment. Funaki and Yang, neither are taken seriously. And I realize Yang had a gimmick similar to this, but they never truly went through with it. Not the way the real-life Yakuza are portrayed anyways.

I say turn them heel. Have them "embrace" their background, their culture. They could honestly become a workable Tag Team. Both have the ability to be entertaining, and interesting to watch. They just need better looks. And a more workable gimmick, that makes them appear seriously. This could be that gimmick.

With the major lack of serious Tag Team's in the company right now, I'd definately take a chance on this pairing, to at least be a strong heel team. Not a comedy heel team, not a jobber heel team, but a serious, strong and even deadly heel team.

 

[boz_supernova]

I quite like the idea of this too, however, I can't see Funaki as a heel. I think they should bring back Tajiri and pair him with Jimmy Wang Yang. Last I heard Tajiri are on good terms still, and he's even appeared on the WWE tours in 2008.

 

[RatedRKO39]

with the recent move of Matt Hardey to smackdown and the rumors about Christian coming back i'd love to see Matt team up with Edge to take on Jeff and Christian

 

[Swolfsta22]

Ide have to go with Evan bourne and rey mysterio i mean granted we have seen little hint of this, they teamed up for a short while before but i would deffinitly like to see them team up some more in the future and maybe hold some tag team gold. both have avery simalar style of wrestling with the agile high flying moves IMO i think they would be awsome for each other...

 

[The Hiphopapotamus]

Her's one

The Brotherhood/Blooderhood/Brotherblood
Get 3 guys like Mike Knox, Vladimir Kozlov and Boogeyman and give them cloaks and names like "Brother Pain" and make them into a heel cult,intent on destroying everyone and anyone.Vicious,agressive,merciless,maybe even throw in Taker as leader and a mouthpiece and you have one hell of a team.

Just a thought.

So what you're looking for is "The Brood," but 6'5 and up?

Unfortunately, there are too many issues with this.

1. It doesn't fit Knox or Kozlov's character, and neither have the charisma to pull it off anyway.

2. A mercilessly violent stable / team / cult wouldn't make it through the toned down ratings system USA and MY9 have been giving the WWE. If it occured on Raw, it'd take away from Legacy, anyway.

I'm sure the argument to move them to ECW will follow, so I'll preempt it. It wouldn't work on ECW because the fact is that ECW doesn't have enough competition to go through.

To be honest, I'm just surprised that in the 'Black Push', the likes of Benjamin, Henry and Truth weren't put together with Cryme Tyme to form a new Nation of Domination. After all, with the revived Harts and DX, WWE seems to be revisiting it's stables.

 

[The Palace of Wisdom]

While I think Tag Team wrestling is currently all but dead, there is a team I would set up. I think a tag team of Rey and The Great Khali could actually work. I've soured a lot on Rey and his current career path, and Khali is pretty bad in the ring. They did a cool slingshot move on Raw weeks back (might have been Survivor Series), and it's a nice odd couple team, gives them both something to do. There are a lot of possible cool double team moves between the two of them.

 

[Jappa121]

What dyou guys think of my The Brian Kendrick and Dolph Ziggler Team? They both are bizzare in their own sense. I think they are both misused and being in a tag team would let them get some wins under their belts. I think itd be a good way to boost both of them to Mid Card status.

 

[TheLoneWolf]

I'm not sure if anyone said this one, but before he got released, I had an idea for Snitsky. I thought that he and Mike Knox could form some psycho-domination stable, since WWE was pushing these guys as a semi-unstoppable force (kinda-sorta) and they actually had some tag matches on RAW. They worked well together and they already have a similar appearance, with the beards and the crazy hair. Plus, they both just look f**kin' insane to me and I believed it could work. But it's too late for that now, since Snitsky was released. Oh well...

So...your logic is to save the tag team division by burying it even more?? Are you not aware of the point of this topic??

Anyho, while Manu and Umaga would be like the Wild Samoans, they are what WWE needs right now. The amount of big men in the company pretty much waters down the threat of Umaga. So, might as well just stick him in a tag team. It would help the tag division alot.

Other than that, I can't think of any two people that can amount to instant greatness together. But, if you think about it, a great tag team needs three things:

1. Resemblance (in weight, height, and look)
2. A Gimmick
3. A NAME

I cannot stress #3 more. "The Fabulous Freebirds", "The Rockers", "The Wild Samoans", "Demolition", "Legion of Doom", "New Age Outlaws".....just a few names that will never be forgotten.

 

[tap-out]

First sorry for the upcoming long read.

In all honesty an idea for a new tag team has to be a team that debuts togehter. We keep getting these teams that are nothing more than singles stars..or not stars that get paried up and are pushed on us to believe that they are a tagteam....only problem is they still where there own gear, individual music, etc. They are in no way a team.

If you look over the past 15-20 yrs, you can see that the most succesfull are/were the teams that were debuted as teams...Hardys, Dudlys, Brood (may not have been the best, however all had the same look, gikkick, entrance, etc.)

I don't know what is so hard about putting teams together and giving them a theme and look to go along with there suppposed background.

Now i know this thread is an idea for a new team/s, so my idea is use your development territory or ECW to Create and develop and debut teams and for god sakes please KEEP THEM TOGTHER for more than a title run.

If they really just dont want to put effort in to the tag division than please get rid of two sets of belts and focus on strictly singles pushes.

 

[Yo_momma]

This is a really random idea so bare with me-have say Jericho and Orton get pissed at being disrespected.They go and whine and whine and whine to Steph and she gives them a tag title shot.They win and they go on to be snobby bitches. The End (ps lets call them The Whiney Bitches)

 

[hArdyPUNKmArk]

I really thought that Kane and Mike Knox did well as a team, the looks they were giving Jericho after their match the other night was good and i could see them as a team together, they would mesh well and having Knox team with Kane would give him something to stand on, we all know Kane is capable of winning the tag titles too, would be good to see i think...

 

[truk24]

The WWE needs to call up Kafu, and pair him with Manu. They need to come to SD, and whip Umaga's ass. Blindside attacks, and then eventually bring back Umaga's old tag team partner Rosie. If not that then, just have these two men work SD against the Colon brothers. They would be a solid tag team, and I think could help pick up the division.

 

[brandonbrownson]

I'm personally pulling for Cody Rhodes and Goldust after the whole legacy angle is over! I'd be great to see the Rhodes kids in the tag team division!

Also, even though D-Lo is no longer with WWE, I could see an attitude-era D-Lo as a good partner for MVP. I just think that they could have chemistry!

And while we're waiting on Legacy, let's put Goldust with Big Dick Johnson! That would make me giggle like a young schoolgirl!

 

[GeTiTT]

BATISTA/MANU/SNUKA(STABLE)
it will give a feud for LEGACY..i dont think UMAGA is over enough to lead a stable let alone against someone like RANDY ORTON i think BATISTA is perfect for it..and he did also train under WILD SAMONAN AFA so it would make a little sense

REGAL/BURCHILL/KATIE LEA

GOLDUST & BOOGEYMAN
they're characters are both weird and i think they would go good together..GOLDUST of course will hold the team together.

KANE & KNOX
good idea

HART FOUNDATION
DH SMITH/TYSON KIDD/NATALYA

CENA/CRYME TYME

 

[supergav67]

Im with ya Gettit.As a Scot I gotta ask,why no UK tags.In the old WWF/WCW,such a stable would be inevitable.You got Regal,Finlay.Burchill (Paul & Katie) DJ Gabriel & can even bring up Drew McIntyre.as well as rope in DH Smith (son of Bulldog,that,ll do).
For the same reason ,rope in Funaki with JWY ,Fu seams to be SDs resident jobber & Im a bit surprised he survived the chop when Val/Holly didnt but he,d give valuable ring time to Jimmy,whose been kinda lost since Shannon left.
Also Helms has been pretty quiet since his return,Id return his cocky bad guy stick & have him join Kendrick for a tag title push with Ezekiel watching their backs.
Maybe some enforced tagging might help get over the FCW upgrades who ,according to sources,havent quite set the ring on fire,like Goldman,Braddock,Kizarney, & Oritz .

 

[Azamuth]

Call up Brett Dibiase and have him tag with his brother.

 

[BigDaddyKewl]

Id like to see JBL and Shawn Micheals Tag up some time. They didnt have one tag match through out there program together. Both are native texans and have had successfull single and tag runs.
