Sheamus and McIctyre

[cmedge]

The Celtic Warrior and The Chosen One.

The Chosen Curse would be a great name for Sheamus and McIctyre if they were a team, a unit a two man power trip.

Sheamus and McIctyre should become a power trip why?

Because if they were it would bring so much prestige to the tag team divison.

Sheamus and McIctyre have history working together (against eachother)

In Europe and in FCW or OVW I cannot remember which one it was.

So Sheamus and McIctyre know eachother fairly well.

I could see both of them in the future being the top faces of the company.

So why not make them into a power trip dominating the tag team division
having McIctyre being the IC Champ and having Sheamus being the WWE Champ.

Like Austin and HHH back in 2001 when they were a powertrip so in the future when McIctyre becomes a developed full main eventer why not make these two Europeans become a unit?

No. Both Sheamus and Drew McIntyre are both above the tag team division this point in their careers. Sheamus is a former two time WWE Champion. While Drew McIntyre is slowly climing his way to the top. Why would they lower themselves to form a tag team? To bring back prestige and to dominate the tag team divison? Who would they face? Santino and Koslov, then who? This idea wouldn't work nor should it work. The tag team division will never be like it was in 2001. The tag team divison now is shit. What would they do after winning the tag team championships? Nothing at all. they've both made names for themselves and they're certainly better on their own.

It would do nothing for the tagteam division it would just be to more random people thrown together in a division that already has no competition and niether one of them are worth putting three titles on and dominating the WWE!

 

[Disaster Master]

As cool as that may sound i don't see it happening nor do i see it working, the tag team division is pretty much dead unless they really put focus on it and have actual legit teams. Within just this past year you can already see they tried giving life to the tagteams but it just died off for example we had Jericho and Big Show forming Jerishow, then I believe Miz and Big Show teamed up, and we even recently had Drew and Cody team up for a while but just all quickly diminished. PLus their both already climbing at the top, Drew will be in the main spotlight soon and sheamus is already up there

 

[anaximillion]

i beleive they could possibly work as a tag team, as for them being above the tag division, that doesnt exist in the wwe. pretty much all current wwe champions have had the tag titles after being world/wwe champions, it happens all the time in wwe. orton and edge for example, batista and cena, big show and jericho, the list goes on.
And as for doing nothing for the tag division, santino and koslov are the champions, any tag team would help the current tag division, its just as useless as the divas championship right now. I think sheamus and mcintyre could work and be a dominant force that people would love to hate at the same time. Yes there are other teams that make more sense like the core for instance could build credibility and people are already interested.
i just dont agree with the statements on why they wouldnt work as a tag team.

 

[Calderownz]

Many problems, in my opinion, with this situation.

Truthfully, Sheamus is on a higher level than Drew at this point. Sheamus is right at the brink of total main event status. Drew is struggling to stay relevant in the mid-card. While this could help him out with that, it also could just be a waste of time and bring Sheamus down or slow him down.

Not to mention the different brands, the fact that both titles and the tag team division would simply be too much on these two guys shoulders at this title. Triple H and Austin were established. Sheamus is getting there, Drew isn't really close yet.

 

[Brahma Bull]

I think it would work great, but not to establish themselves. They would have to form some type of stable. Im just throwing an idea out there, but sheamus is from ireland, drew from scottland, and they could even add in barrett from england to form the uk. I dont know what uk would stand for, lol, but i think it would make an interesting stable. They have to wait for drew to be as big as sheamus and barrett for it to work though.

 

[Uncle Phatso]

Really I can't see Sheamus going any ware close to the tag division atm. The farthest down he would go would be the Us title, and even that is a stretch. Sheamus won the king of the ring, why would the Wwe put him in a program again with Santino? The first time he was just sort of wasting time waiting for the Kotr tourney to come around, what would that really do to him. It would one, make his Kotr win kind of pointless, and two say to the fans and us that the Wwe cant really book this guy right.

Drew and Sheamus, how would that work? One's Irish and the other Scottish, that’s about as far as the ball bounces. Sheamus is really to young into his carer to give a good rub to another younger superstar. Even if Drew had just came into the WWE I wouldn't pick Sheamus to tag with him. That being said, Drew would be the better pick for the Tag division. BUT, I also believe that Drew is on a far higher level right now than anyone in the Tag division. Lets just get it right here, if your losing to Santino your doing something wrong in Vince's eye. Because he's a comedy character, if would be cool yeah for them to come and beat the team of Sheamus and Drew once. But that’s about it, if you have them lose to the Comedy tag team more than once it kind of looks bad on them.

 

[Ruthless-RKO]

No. Both Sheamus and Drew McIntyre are both above the tag team division this point in their careers.

Fair comment.. But then the same can be said with Austin.. When he came together with Trips he was in his 5th world title run and Triple H was a former 4-time world champion.. But these 2 together was huge and maybe Sheamus and McIntyre are not as accomplished yet as Austin and Trips were, I could still see a dominant tag team..

Now why would this not work? WWE tag teams don't last long now days, they'll put guys together and then disband them within a month, if they were to add prestige to the titles, who are they going to feud with? maybe another two man power-trip team, because other than that it's the Uso's.. they are the only other big team.. Although I have heard rumours about Orton/Edge maybe getting back together after Mania.. Who knows..

 

[Dzone]

Sure they could work as a tag team and so could Rated RKO or E&C (return) so could the Brothers of Destruction but WWE's tag team division is way to small for these teams to even contemplate coming back/forming and becoming an "x" man power trip of some sort. This would also limit story lines substantially and I don't see a power trip coming any time soon who ever is in one...

 

[vampirek]

It would do nothing for the tagteam division it would just be to more random people thrown together in a division that already has no competition and niether one of them are worth putting three titles on and dominating the WWE!

Yet this is actually what the WWE has done in the past when the tag team division has faded. Go look back at when the WWE tag team belts were created back in 2002, the majority of the tournament was made up of random teams. Sure most of those teams didn't stick around after the tournament but it set away those belts which actually had a good couple years. It wasn't the first time this has happened either.

Back in the 90's around 1998, random tag teams were formed or took part in tag team matches for one night. The likes of Faarooq and Bradshaw were thrown together and look what happened there.

The same could easily happen here, vacant the titles for whatever reason and set up a tournament which consists of actual tag teams (Uso's, Santino/Kozlov, members of Nexus/Corre) and the rest a lottery, easiest way of forming new tag teams and then put the belts on a team like Sheamus and McIntyre. In the process it can put focus on the tag team division by having this tournament appear weekly on Raw and Smackdown prior to the big PPV final. There are plenty of teams that can be created and just because they are single wrestlers doesnt mean it can't work because history has shown it can.

 

[772Attitude]

This could work. Just think about how Rated RKO was created. Edge was in the main title picture the he teamed up with Orton then BAM, there in the tag team division. They could have a reunion of E&C or Rated RKO and have a good fued with them. You never know. I think it could work.

 

[airvar]

I actually really like it.. I don't think any superstar is "above" the tag-team division.. It shouldn't be a "building block", there are great tag-teams, and great singles competitors.. Sometimes two great singles competitor's work together to create a great tag-team.. You can use the tag- division as a tool to keep guys busy, and keep your MAIN event fresh.. I don't like the idea of them holding all the titles, but I do like a McIntyre/Sheams vs RAted RkO feud, that would keep all 4 men out of the main event scene so people like Morrison, Miz, Dolph Ziggler, ect. Can get the rub they need and establish them as main eventers.

I'm sorry but you have to do something with Orton/Edge/Sheamus ect. while they aren't invovled in the title, and why not do that, and give the tag divison a rub in the process? The divison is so bad right now all you really have to do is in the month following maina throw sheamus/Edge/Orton/ MCintyer into some feud causing them to split up into teams to battle it out.. Add the tag titles, and you keep all 4 men out of the main title picture for 3-4 months without hurting the young talent like Miz/Morrison/Zigggler by constantly having to make them look weak as champs. none of them will get a clean win over an established guy in his prime like Orton, they just very rarely make Orton look weak, so to get a guy like that over you need to give them something else to focus on. You certinaly can't have him squashing the U.S. Champion every week, he is well above that title, but the great thing about the Tag Titles is ANYONE can be a contendor with the right story line.

 

[Dysturbed]

While I understand that people of a certain caliber having a certain title can be viewed as a step down, I am with those who think that it can also be a step up for the title, in this case the tag titles. To me, depending on the situations, it can show that the wrestler is so legit that they are being asked to help elevate something. It can be more of an honor than an insult so to speak. With that in mind I'd be cool with the pairing as tag champs. As long as there is a legit reason for them to team up and win and then, until they lose the belts, it wouldn't matter that each are assigned to a different brand, since they could be on both anyway with the titles.

edit: at the same time if they don't have what is seen as good competition then the pairing may be seen as pointless since it wouldn't necessarily help the division.

 

[Jacob]

At this point, the only way it would work would be bringing back E&C as well as Rated RKO and Brothers of Destruction. The only problem with that, is it would sort of ruin storylines and ruin them.

Myself I was close to posting this, but I just coudn't bring myself to believe WWE actually cared about the Tag team division, While it would hurt Sheamus in the long run.

 

[TheLoneCharles]

Im completely in favor of rebuilding the tag team division and creating a big tournament for the titles. There is so much talent being wasted away at a time when WWE is desperately seeking new huge stars, a strong tag division would give these underused stars twice the exposure. TNA proved tag team wrestling can still be relevant, so why not?

And with all this newer talent coming in, WWE cannot start releasing talented wrestlers that will go to TNA. Guys like DiBiase, Kofi, DH Smith, Tyson Kidd, Ryder/Hawkins, and many of the Nexus/Corre members all need something to do.

Many people refer to this era as the "PG" era, that it doesnt measure up to the "attitude" era. This is not why. It is because about 10 years ago the entire roster was utilized. Guys like Bob Holly and even Dwayne Gill had active roles back then.

 

[LitasRevenge79]

Call me crazy...as much as I like both these guys (mind you, I'm into the bad boys) I don't think they would work together at this point in time. Granted, both of them have had good strokes backstage from people in high standing in WWE Corporate (rumored). But Sheamus seems to be the one ready to ascend to a bigger main event picture, with the terrible hints that keep getting dropped about 'King' and such. I do like Drew, however, this sappy storybook romance thing, is not so becoming if he is to try to go to that next level, and by keeping this feud with Baretta. Its only benefitting Baretta at the moment right now. However, if Drew really wants to elevate himself, and with the field WIDE OPEN for possibilities, he does have a previous tag team history in FCW/OVW with Wade Barrett (The Empire), he could always join up with them and it could be beneficial for him to re-join with someone he's got prior experience with, and to join people who have a good group history together (former Nexus members).

 

[JGlass]

I will never understand why wrestling fans are always trying to form stables for guys that don't need them.

Both Sheamus and McIntyre are not stable material. Both of them, especially Sheamus, seem to give off a "doesn't play well with others" vibe. They're both extremely violent and have senselessly beat up smaller talent (Noble for Sheamus, Baretta for McIntyre) and both are billed as unforgiving brutes.

So yes, they are similar guys, but that's all the more reason to keep them separated. When you form a tag team between two already established stars they should compliment each other so one doesn't clearly outshine the other.

Furthermore, McIntyre is in the middle of being reinvented (sort of), and Sheamus is one of the most over heels in WWE and has done a great job putting Morrison over, and I think he might help put Bryan over in the future. Don't disrupt either man's progress by putting him in an unnecessary tag team.

 

[cmedge]

Okay but Stone Cold who was at one point face of the company joined an ailance with Triple H who was an over main eventer and they became a two man powertrip. There is no such thing as being too "big" for tag team wrestling look at Rated RKO Edge and Randy Orton. Edge was over and Randy Orton was being reinvented the tag team benifited both I think a Sheamus, McIctyre ailance would be amazing.

Rated RKO sucked. They threw those two guys together just so Dx could have some big name heels to fuck around with, and Dx proved to be the better of the two teams when they swept Team Rated RKO at Survivor Series.

As for Two Man Power Trip, you said it yourself, they put the two biggest stars in the company together. It was a ploy to make a tag team that would hold all the major titles at once. Do you think if they put Sheamus and McIntyre together they could really hold every title at once? Sheamus is good, but he's not Stone Cold Steve Austin, and McIntyre isn't even half as good as Triple H in his wildest dream. Don't kid yourself into thinking Sheamus and McIntyre have any of the qualities that Two Man Power Trip had.

 

[FSWWE]

Sheamus vs McIntyre in King of the Ring was something that i LOVE too SEE!!

But i dont know why, they want to be Zeke and Drew disqualified -.-

I think that Drew McIntyre do become a face, Sheamus was a greu feud to have...

I can see Drew comig to Raw and J.Morrison to Smackdown, i'm tired the same matches, they really need the Draft.

If JoMo does go to SD! he can become World Champion and he has past with Alberto Del Rio (Future WHC of course)

And the idea of McIntyre on Raw! is somthing that i love to see, he could really have great macthes against Sheamus

The Chosen Curse would be a great name for Sheamus and McIctyre if they were a team, a unit a two man power trip.

that is an awful name. Fittingly, yours is an awful idea.

Sheamus and McIctyre should become a power trip why?

They shouldn't.

Because if they were it would bring so much prestige to the tag team divison.

What's the point of bringing prestige to a worthless, obsolete division?

Sheamus and McIctyre have history working together (against eachother)

That's putting it mildly. Wade Barrett has a history with the two that goes almost as far back. Should he get in on thie powertrip too?

In Europe and in FCW or OVW I cannot remember which one it was.

Europe and FCW. Sheamus never worked in OVW.

So Sheamus and McIctyre know eachother fairly well.

Seeing as they're best friends, that's not entirely unexpected.

I could see both of them in the future being the top faces of the company.

I don't. Drew's nowhere near good enough at connecting to an audience to be considered a top anything any time soon. And it's pointless trying to see that far into the future because a billion and one things could happen in the time it takes for Drew to get over enough to be a MEer.

So why not make them into a power trip dominating the tag team division having McIctyre being the IC Champ and having Sheamus being the WWE Champ.

Because that idea was stupid the first time around? Or how about the fact that it buries what's left of the credability of the tag division, and means that at least one set of titles won't be getting defended on PPV. Look at what heppened to the Miz when he was the Unified Tag and US champion.

Like Austin and HHH back in 2001 when they were a powertrip so in the future when McIctyre becomes a developed full main eventer why not make these two Europeans become a unit?

If D-Mc ever becomes a MEer why would he go after a midcard title?
