Most Skilled Duo

[ShinChan]

So who do you think is the most skilled tag team who competed in WWE in 2015?

According to me,

Cesaro-Kidd

They had a great chemistry and ignited my interest in tag division..... Cesaro turned face for the first time on the main roster.... They won the tag titles once! They would have reached much height and been a great tag team if Tyson Kidd didnot get injured via Samoa Joe's Muscle Buster! However, for me atleast, they were a great duo of wrestlers who had the potential to make any match entertaining! I just loved them!

Honourable Mention

Lucha Dragons

So they are the most skilled active tag team WWE has presently.... They have awesome chemistry.... Although I liked Original Sincara over this one, Yet i see a huge potential in them!The Salida Del Sol at TLC over the ladder was just amazing! I think Kalisto is today's Rey Mysterio of WWE.... The monkey flip into 450 splash is just awesome...

Thoughts?

I have to roll with Lucha Dragons. I've been a fan of the Lucha libre style of wrestling for 20 years now. I feel they are a great competitive duo together.

Well i too like them a lot.... and i love Lucha Libre style too... And they are competitive duo together but i coudnot resist keeping Cesaro-Kidd above them... And Cesaro-Kidd VS Lucha Dragons would be an awesome match but its too unlikely because most probably Tyson Kidd will never wrestle again

 

[AegonTargaryen]

1)I voted for Cesaro-Kidd without thinking or analyzing even for a second. And I'm a guy who has never watched a single edition of Raw/Smackdown, or PPVs for that matter, with a Cesaro/Kidd match on the card.

2)The reasons are simple and the same as the OP pointed out. Even though The Lucha Dragons are incredibly athletic and fun to watch they are rather unidimensional(like many tag-teams), and I'm so certain of Cesaro's ability and his chemistry with Kidd.

3)Quite a few teams shouldn't even be in the options since they hardly possess much skill. Rowan-Harper for example. And the Dudleys are one of the most overrated and boring tag-teams in the history. Goddamn tables.

 

[Messiah]

Cesaro and Kidd might be the most skilled but they were also the most boring.. Still, i would vote Kidd and Cesaro just based on their skill alone.

'2015'
'Most Skilled'
'Tag Team'
It surely has to be 'The NEW DAY rocks

and if you take NXT into account then maybe ENZO and Cass plus Dash and Dawson..

 

[Fire Marshall Bill]

Skilled at what? I mean, if you're going to leave it about as vague as possible then I'd easily have to go with the most entertaining, which is far and away the New Day.

Cesaro and Kidd are both extremely bland and boring outside of anything except in the ring.

 

[Mustang Sally]

I go with Cesaro & Kidd. The Usos' are good, but exactly alike in their ring repertoire and style, while Cesaro & Kidd offer such a contrast that it kept them fresh and exciting to watch.

Tyson Kidd has a moveset equal to anyone who has worked in WWE....and if his personality stood out more, the company might have used him better than they did. It's a shame he was hurt just as he was finally getting recognition.

Cesaro, of course, slowly won the fans over with his ring work, and seemed equally comfortable as a single or in a tag team.

Together, they were really getting it done as a team. Wonder if we'll ever see them together again.....presuming Kidd returns at all.

Skilled at in-ring work! And I think The New Day maybe more entertaining outside the ring but in the ring Cesaro-Kidd and Lucha Dragons are much entertaining through their awesome chemistry!
By the way, too shocked to see major voting for The New Day as most skilled in-ring workers

Although i dont find Cesaro & Tyson Kidd boring by any way , Yet i will assume you were talking that they are boring outside the ring which i can accept! but matches involving Cesaro-Kidd and even Cesaro as singles competitor are never boring

1)I voted for Cesaro-Kidd without thinking or analyzing even for a second. And I'm a guy who has never watched a single edition of Raw/Smackdown, or PPVs for that matter, with a Cesaro/Kidd match on the card.

Quite similar thinking buddy! I just gave the choice of Rowan-Harper and Dudleyz as i gave the choice of every tag team that wrestled in 2015 in WWE! Out of these 4, I like Luke Harper only! Never seen much Dudleyz to comment about them!

So no Chad Gable & Jason Jordan?

The thread states nothing about in ring skill. It just says skill. People in general are way more entertained by New Day than Cesaro/Kidd.

You shouldn't be shocked. I voted for them because their in-ring work is an extension of their gimmick, and they've mastered their gimmick. The Usos, Kidd and Cesaro, and the Lucha Dragons were all great this year. There are arguments for many teams, but, to me, The New Day was the whole package.

Their in-ring work has been as polished as any other team this year, but unlike those other teams The New Day hasn't had the luxury of being face. So, as heels, what they do isn't flashy, but it garners heat and is fun. The Unicorn Stampede and Big E Irish Whipping Kofi into an opponent with Xavier's trombone accompaniment may not be fancy, but through name and deed they tell you everything you need to know about The New Day. They've participated in all sorts of matches and some great spots.

The only reason not to vote for them is that they're a trio, but hey, they were on the poll.

 

[Navi]

I had to pick New Day. They are by far the most entertaining tag team going right now. Woods and that trombone are just hilarious, and they have one of the best named moves ever, The Unicorn Stampede. Whenever they're not having a good time they just dance it away.

Honorable mention would have to go to Cesaro and Kidd. Both very talented wrestlers and what a shame about Kidd's injury. Cesaro I love in the ring, and think he should be a major star, they don't. Assholes, anyway, the two of them together were a great team with a very unusual moveset.

I like the Lucha Dragons but can't get into them for some reason. Both are very talented, but I think it's because I can't see their facial expressions. Yes I know we're not supposed too. For all I know they could be bored stiff and rolling their eyes at the crowd. Could never get into Mysterio when he was around either, because of the same reason.

 

[J.J.]

I would've picked New Day but my love for Lucha Underground and Lucha libre style of wrestling outweighed choosing them. Unfortunately WWE doesn't seem to grasp that in order to increase Hispanic interest in the product that to have to be more open minded to the Lucha libre style much like WCW was. At least that's a start anyway.

New Day are entertaining and I'll be the first to admit I was disappointed they didn't win as the Tag Team of the year on Monday. I wish they would showcase Xavier Woods more because he's an incredibly gifted talent and sure shot leader of the group. I'd put money on him having the more successful solo career once the group splits. I hope it's not anytime soon because they're an entertaining group that looks to be having fun.

THIS.

I am shocked too. But if they considered the tag-team that is most entertaining, by all means New Day would emerge victorious.'

I think by "skilled", it was pretty much implicit that the OP or anyone would mean "in-ring skills" and not ability to entertain otherwise. When you say "most skilled" carpenter, you mean the carpenter's skills at carpentry and not his skills in bed(wink). When you mention how skilled a musician is, similarly, it's implicit that his skills as a musician are the object of discussion/contemplation. So yes, skilled in pro-wrestling implies wrestling skills over anything else.

So yes, Cesaro-Kidd over New Day when it comes to that.

Ok then I guess from now on we'll no longer call them "mic skills". From now on we'll call them "mic abilities" or "shit they can do on the mic". I'm sure we can think of other ways of saying it.

Come on everyone!

We're already ahead of the curve with using "drawing power". In no way could we ever say "most skilled at drawing".

Should we keep going, or is there only one or two things that make a good professional wrestler?

The poll speaks for itself in this regard. When I think of a "skilled" pro wrestler, I picture someone who is good in multiple facets. Those ancillary skills are what separate a Shawn Michaels from a Marty Jannetty or a Chris Jericho from a Lance Storm. Most fans probably think this way because the nature of the genre makes it neither a sport nor a stunt show. WWE is more like a circus, and while some tag teams are acrobats and others are clowns, The New Day blends both and makes it seamless. That's skill.

Why are you shocked? Have you ever heard of the expression "differing opinions"? While I like Cesaro/Kidd I think New Day has it over them by a mile.

Part of being a wrestler is to be entertaining and that's exactly what New Day does, they entertain. All three are good with the mic, they are good in the ring, and no one else I know of in the WWE can play the trombone.

If you want everyone to agree with you, then just post a poll with one team and see how many people answer the thread. Because numerous teams were listed members will pick who they like best.

Not surprised to see the Uso's not get a lot of votes. Good team, good in the ring, but I find them boring as watching paint dry.

Yeah most entertaining surely goes to The New Day! but most skilled atleast for me and you too goes to Cesaro-Kidd!
By the way, I agree Dark Lady that i forgot about different opinions! And I like Lucha Dragons much more because of the awesome masks and attire!

The only reason not to vote for them is that they're a trio, but hey, they were on the poll.

Awesome Sarcasm!
You are in an excellent form, Arenot you?

 

[AegonTargaryen]

Haha. Relax. I'm pretty sure I said "I'm shocked/a bit surprised" and not "How DARE other people vote for new day and have opinions other than mine". So now I'm not allowed to be shocked ? Wow. You're rather oppressive.

Part of being a wrestler is to be entertaining and that's exactly what New Day does, they entertain. All three are good with the mic, they are good in the ring, and no one else I know of in the WWE can play the trombone.

Yes but they come nowhere near close to being as skilled in the ring as Cesaro-Kidd, and that of course is my opinion.

If you want everyone to agree with you, then just post a poll with one team and see how many people answer the thread. Because numerous teams were listed members will pick who they like best.

Whoa. Once again, I didn't say "How DARE you choose New Day". Please don't court-martial me.

Not surprised to see the Uso's not get a lot of votes. Good team, good in the ring, but I find them boring as watching paint dry.

I agree here. I find the Ew-Sos one of the most overrated/boring tag teams on the roster or otherwise. I find their entrance music and the chants annoying. So yeah they bore me as well.

Sorry my dear friend, but you fail.

A skilled wrestler connotes- skilled technician, good at WRESTLING. Mic skills come into play, sure. But the first and the most important thing it connotes is WRESTLING skills. Go ahead and ask me- Who told you? Who are YOU to decide that? (Surely, common sense has little value).

That being said, with the exception of Edge and Christian, and a tag team or two like NWO(Hall/Nash) who were more like a faction of elite superstars than tag teams, which fucking tag teams were ever allowed Mic Time ever? Were there any tag team opening segments more than 10 minutes long really? I don't seem to recall the Dudleys and the Hardys going back-and-forth on the mic. I don't remember D-von ever having said anything as significant in two decades other than "Testify".

Simple as that. Tag Teams being skilled implies in the ring and their chemistry and NOT their mic work. With the exception of the New Day, is there even a tag team in this poll which usually talk for 10 minutes on a given show? NO. So the most Skilled Duo= Definitely Cesaro-Kidd based on Wrestling Skills/Chemistry as duo. The End.

And you sure are allowed to fail to infer what is implicit in a post/phrase/word.

So you make comparisons with carpenters and musicians..
You think New Day is more skilled on bed that at Pro Wrestling.
I agree that Cesaro and Kidd did great but when it comes to 2015 the best tag team that comes to everyone's mind must be The New Day..
If you wanna talk about in ring wrestling, anybody on that list looks good but in pro wrestling when overall skills taken into account its NEW DAY..
All musicians can make music but the best of them are the ones that draw more into them with their style and i guess in that sense New Day tops Kidd- Cesaro..
Man Drawing power or in ring matches on any day its NEW DAY rocks..

 

[BestSportsEntertainer]

This should be an easy decision. Let's see.

Ascension - Jobbers

The Usos - They were injured for most of the year

Dudley Boyz - I almost chose them, but they're not going to be there much longer, so no.

PTP - Are they even together still? I haven't seen them in months.

Lucha Dragons - They're talented wrestlers in masks. Fortunately, that's all they are.

Los Matadores - They have a terrible, terrible gimmick.

Cesaro & Tyson Kidd - Kidd missed a lot of time due to injury.

Wyatt Family - They spent most of the year in Bray's corner.

And the winners are...

NEW DAY - Yep, I got a little too dramatic there, but New Day is easily the best team in WWE. There's nothing else to say.

 

[BestSportsEntertainer]

renaissanceman2014, come on. In-ring wrestling isn't the only thing that matters.

If that's true, Cesaro is the best wrestler of all time, better than Stone Cold, The Rock, and Hulk Hogan.

You have to take into account 1) character, 2) mic skills, 3) crowd reaction, 4) drawing ability, and a TON of other things.

It's not just who's the best in-ring wrestler. I mean, you can't be this stupid. You just can't be.

 

[Trill Co$by]

Sasha Banks and Naomi have in my opinion blown all the above mentioned out the water, and that says a lot since they were forced to be a team. I really think that if WWE were to add Divas tag titles, they could easily be the catalysts to showcase what a women's tag team could be about.

But if you're going to force me to pick the male roster only, I'm going with Lucha Dragons... and this isn't just in-ring ability. When I watch wrestling, I can't stand just in-ring ability. I want to be entertained by the characters, the stories, and all sorts of stuff. In-ring ability is so meaningless at times when the performers can put on entertaining programs (IE: Rock vs. Austin - Terrible in ring performer but great characters) and still make you think they went to war. So as a whole package, I really think Lucha Dragons have it. They could be a huge boost to the tag division if given more television time.
