Pre-Show Stalwart
Ever since the winter of '91 when Shawn Michaels laid out Marty Jannetty on The Barber Shop we have seen many tag teams rise, fall, split up, feud, and go their seperate ways. One typically becomes a bigger star while the other slowly falls down the ladder and/or is on the unemployment line.
Usually it is easy to pick which team member is a bigger star...
HBK > Jannetty
Scott Steiner > Rick Steiner
Booker T. > Stevie Ray
Bret Hart > Jim Neidhart
Bully Ray > Devon
But sometimes it is a suprise...
In 2007 when multi-time NWA/TNA tag team champs AMW split most everyone thought that Chris Harris would be a breakout star and main eventer, while James Storm would end up somewhere like Jersey All Pro. Harris was involved in the KOTM match at that year's Slammaversary and have a feud with Christian Cage. Storm went on to feud with Eric Young over the "World Beer Drinking Championship" and Rhino. Within a few months Harris was feuding with Dustin Rhodes for some reason and then got his release to go to the Big Time, where he ballooned up and was under contract for 8 months, 1 of which was on TV. Storm went on to form Beer Money with Bobby Roode, is a member of Fourtune, over with the TNA crowd, and in my opinon will be TNA world champ within the next 12 months.
Towards the end of 2009 we saw what would be the end of Legacy. Originally this was going to be the springboard Ted Dibiase would use to reach the next level. Cody and Ted were going to be the faces going into WM but crowd reaction changed all that, making Orton the face and Cody/Ted just another heel tag team. Cody was then "injured" by Orton and eventually drafted to SD. Ted was given plenty of chances to get over and ZERO worked, while Cody is a former tag champ and current I.C champ over on SD. He had been placed in a feud with Orton, and will most likey be SD world champ in 2012. Ted on the other hand will be lucky to keep cashing check thru X-Mas. Sorry Teddy daddy cant protect you forever.
Last we have Miz/Morrison. after there split in the 2009 WWE Draft, it look as if Morrison was on his way to be the next HBK. He was placed on SD and at one point it was rumored he would face Batista at WM for the World Title, never happened. Miz, well, he was squashed in his feud with Cena, but he rebounded by winning the US title and Tag titles with the Big Show. He even captained a team to victory over team Morrison at that year's Survivor Series. 2010 saw Miz win MITB and then cash it in a few months later to win his 1st world title. WM 27 saw Miz beat Cena, and Morrison team with Snooki.... Miz is being featured on the main WWE storyline and Morrison cant but a win.
Who'd a thunk it???
What current tag team do you think will catch the M/J Syndrome in reverse?
