Hear me out. Please.
You might think that putting the least prestigious Titles on two Main Eventers would be a waste of time, but it isn't. For ages now, I've been reading comments from all you, including myself, where we've complained about how they have mistreated the Tag Titles. They threw them around like they were anything. They were won by the worst, strangest, makeshifts teams. Rhodes/McIntyre, Cena/Otunga, Cena/Miz (That WAS pointless & the shortest Tag Reign EVER). There, I've said it. I never really liked these teams, because they were thrown together & stupid. Look where McIntyre is now, what did it ever really do for Cena apart from give him a Title? The only person it really helped there, was David Otunga. The Miz had been Tag Champ before in a better team, with John Morrison.
When David Otunga & Michael McGillicutty won the Tag Titles, they'd been the longest reigning Champs, of 91 Days, since the Hart Dynasty approximately 7 months before them. In that 7 months, there had been another 8 reigns, ranging from 0-76 days reigns. I actually thought once McTungaCutty won them, they were finally bringing prestige back to them, I was half right. They held them for a Quarter of a Year, which is pretty decent in my eyes. They were then defeated by "Air Boom", the team of Kofi Kingston & Evan Bourne. I had faith in Kingston, even though I'm not a fan of him, but simply because he's held Titles in the WWE before. 3x IC Champ, 2x US Champ & now 2x Tag Champ, once with Punk, now with Bourne. However, Bourne had never held a WWE Title before and to me, he was merely known as a jobber who had a bit of luck every now & then, facing guys such as Chris Jericho.
However, since gaining the Titles, they've faced McTungaCutty in a Title Rematch, which they won, in a good fight. Then on Raw, two nights ago, they defeated the Team of Jinder Mahal & The Great Khali, which is bragging rights for any Tag Team, if you can win with a Monster on the opposition. Even if the chemistry between Mahal & Khali wasn't there, it's still good news for these two guys. They've been holding the Belts for 16 Days, but here's where I still have problems. The guys have been impressing me, no doubt about it, but are they really the kind of guys to go ahead & make these titles look good? Bourne is just a Jobber, plain & simple & Kofi is only someone who's good at passing a Title over to another person. This is, for me, where "Awesome Truth" come in.
The Miz, former WWE Champion, United States & Tag Champion & R-Truth, former United States Champion are both used to the big picture, the Main Event to be precise. If you really want to make the Tag Titles look good again, surely you give it to these guys? YES! Of course you do. Both of them are gold on the Mic as heel characters, they work well in the Ring & they play off of each other as characters. We get two guys who don't really mind working with Titles that aren't at the top, which is cool, much like the way Jericho would move around the Ranks. Then just think about it, if "Awesome Truth" win the Titles, when they finally pass them on, no matter how long they hold onto them for, they've given them credibility, right? Two of the top stars, who hold onto the Gold for a while, boom!
Say, Hawkins/Reks? They might be a dominant enough team. Who knows who would beat them, but I think they would do a great job of passing/receiving the Torch. We may see the debut of a new team, i.e - Young Bucks or the Kings of Wrestling. It's something, eventually, we would like to see and I think having Titles handed down to you by a Team like this is a good idea.
So, questions;
Do "Awesome Truth" HAVE to win at NOC for full Tag Title Credibilty?
If they don't, what's next for "Air Boom"?
Where do you see the future of the Tag Titles heading?
Answer those, or just take it upon yourself to reply.
