The Young God, walking abroad
After the draft and recent firings, what have we got left? The tag-team division has been decimated. Moore's gone, so the Redneck and the Reject are finished, London and Kendrick have split up, Deuce and Domino are gone, Cantino have split up...this is really something of a nadir. Here's what left.
1.Cena and Batista, which won't last longer than two weeks.
2. Team Priceless, ex-champs and soon-to-be champs again. Young and talented. Rhodes is very solid on the mic too.
3. Cryme Tyme. Unfunny but pretty solid in the ring.
4. The Highlanders. Jobbers.
That's on RAW. On Smackdown and ECW...
1. Hawkins and Ryder. Young and talented, the belts are on the right guys for now.
2. Jesse and Festus. Meh. They should be heel, Festus always looks like the school bully monstering the smaller guys. And he needs a new finisher.
3. Miz and Morrison. But for how much longer? They're both due well-deserved singles pushes and they've made no effort to get their belts back. Their days together may be numbered.
4. Family Finlay. A crappy comedy act who simply demean the entire division. Not a team WWE could possibly give the belts to.
And that's it (hopefully I've left no one out). I guess you could maybe make out a case for including one or two more, such as Chavo and Bam, but they're just infrequent contenders. IMO RAW needs about 7 solid tag-teams to really kick-start the division again, plus 6 on Smackdown with 3 on ECW (interchangeable).
Where should these new teams come from? Suggestions as to who they should be formed of. For starters, I'd love to see Bourne have a run in the division (I enjoyed his match against Chavo and Bam with Ortiz; Bourne covers for Ortiz's deficiencies). Maybe also Elijah Burke? Chavo and Bam competing more frequently? Perhaps even Kozlov and Kendrick? (ok, I plucked that one out of the air).
