Tyson Kidd as a tag team competitor.

[MartialHorror]

I think Kidd is too good for the tag team division and I don't really get why WWE chose to place him with Cesaro. Kidd actually DID seem over as a heel, but the problem is he only would appear sporadically and I don't think 'love troubles' angles work very well anymore anyway. I can understand why they'd do so with Cesaro, because that's the best way to start over with him. But I think they should've found someone else as his partner.

Kidd is a good talker, has charisma and seems to know how to make you want to punch him in the face. His moveset is pretty awesome as well, this thread being inspired by that cool counter to 'Uso Crazy' that happened on the last RAW. Furthermore, unlike Cesaro, he seemed to be gaining some important singles victories.

I think Cesaro should've turned face and rejoined Swagger, so then Swagger can get some TV time again. Or hell, even Adam Rose would work. I think Kidd is wasted in the tag team division. He's got some unique attributes (headphones) and even occasionally inspires some different chants ("Nattie's husband!"). I've chosen not to bring up his NXT history because I consider that to be its own entity.

 

[BillAlfonsos_Whistle]

I think they are pretty much a perfect duo. Two guys lost in the shuffle that have been paired up with a corny but well executed angle involving Natty and the Usos. It puts them in line to feud for the tag belts which is way more prevalent than anything Kidd has done in 5+ years.

Plus just because they are enjoying some success with this run doesn't mean they can't branch of and be singles wrestlers in the future. Unfortunately I see Cesaro with a future and Kidd will get lost again because he's your typical small dude with nothing special about him (outside of exceptional in-ring skill which the WWE could care less about unfortunately)

 

[DontshowfearBunny]

I think they put Tyson with Cesaro because they really werent planning on doing anything else with him anyway. Frankly, I think they are both too good for the tag team division, especially Cesaro. But hey, you got to make room for them part timers, nam sayin

 

[Jtrivera]

I've been a fan of Tyson Kidd's since early 11, I think he has the potential to be a great IC or US champion one day, not everybody has to climb up the mountain to be a successful athlete, (Kofi being a prime example)

With that being said, the team of Cesaro and Kidd was random and questionable at first, I'm not really a fan of Cesaro at all, but him and Tyson gel perfectly as a tag team, and honestly they're just two guys who said "screw it lets roll with what we got" and from the gimmick, to the tag moves and interesting matches they have done just that, the tag division is perfect for them right now, wait till the part timers leave and the big names retire, then you'll see Cesaro in the main event, and Tyson in the IC title hunt.

 

[FreezeIzGAWD]

See this is precisely why I say you can't please the fans.

They say the tag team division is weak. They say they want it built back up. They wanted BOTH Cesaro and Kidd to be put in a meaningful program and they know Star and Goldust are about to break up which would make one LESS tag team. With all that being known the WWE puts Kidd and Cesaro in a program that might put some GOLD on that waist and the fans STILL COMPLAIN.

Okay let's see there are three titles in WWE right now.

The WWE World title, the IC title and the US title......

Okay let's see the WWE WORLD should be won by Dolph Ziggler, oops I meant Daniel Bryan wait I meant uh Bray Wyatt.... Well we will come back to that.....

So that means since the World Title is being held by DB then the IC should be held by Dolph and the US by Wyatt....

Yeah that works......

Oh Damn we forgot Ambrose who gets sooooo buried.....

Okay give the World Title to DB uh the IC to Dolph and the US to Ambrose....

But wait Ambrose has already had the US belt so let's give that to Cesaro dammit he has had it too....

Okay give the US belt to Cesaro and the IC to Wyatt and the World to Ziggler because he earned it this year....

But Damn we forgot DB....

Okay wait.....

See what I am saying.....

Geeez y'all want ALL YOUR FAVORITES PUSHED THE SAME WAY AT THE SAME TIME!!!!!

I like Cesaro and Kidd as a tag team. They are WINNING for a change and not jobbing....

They are relevant and soon will have gold and yet the fans still are MAD......

GTFOHWTBS!!!!!

I'm so happy that Tyson Kidd is just getting some air time nowadays, as I thought the WWE was really going to let someone of his talent get away without even giving him a chance. I disagree that Tyson is too good for the tag team division though. Imo, a tag team role is absolutely perfect for Kidd.

Firstly, I feel like he doesn't really have any defining qualities that will allow him to legitimately get over with the crowd at this point, like say a Daniel Bryan (beard and indie fan base) or Rey Mysterio (mask, "first" WCW cruiserweight). Kidd is great in the ring, but his timing and expressions outside of the ring could use some work, and we haven't really seen him cut a promo in a while... basically, I don't think he's completely hit his stride to the point where he can be considered a legit IC Champ YET. However, this tag team with Cesaro allows both guys to get, not only air time, but good air time in a featured program with the Tag Champs which can only be good for both guys.

I think eventually both Cesaro and Kidd will get their singles run, presumably after a break-up and feud between the two somewhere in the distant future. What happens with Kidd at this point will be up to him.

 

[Softcore Holly]

It's their answer to "Hey we got 2 really talented guys we currently got nothing for in singles" problem, put em together in a tag team, hope they get hot there and eventually have them feud/split in hopefully more popular single guys. It's....a hit or miss formula but so far it's working out great for Mizdow and a lot of us were hoping it was going to work out for Cesaro when he split with Swagger, but obviously that didn't happen so they're going to try again with Kidd.

Kidd is one of my favorite guys on the roster, his NXT days shows that given mic time he can cut good promos and in the ring wise he's one of their best guys, but there's a ton of talent and not enough spots for them all. Barrett and Rusev are currently better champs than Kidd would be at this point, but if either were to move on to better things I would love Kidd to step up as I think he would make a great cocky mid-card champ.

But really it's hard to complain since them being together is so much better compared to where they were in singles not too long ago. Cesaro is no longer jobbing on a weekly basis and is back to swinging people/winning, and Kidd doesn't spend Raws doing nothing but standing at ringside pretending to not watch Divas matches. So while they both have the talent to be doing better things all in all this isn't too shabby. We get a good heel tag team to replace the soon to be splitting Dusts and hopefully they get a run with the tag titles before eventually splitting up.

Tyson Kidd is another guy I find to be vastly overrated. I've seen good Kidd matches but no great ones. I get the guy hasn't ever been promoted prominently and I've never knowingly seen any of his pre-WWE work, but his reputation among fans on this board seems inflated. He's also colourless. He's hitting out his league by being paired with Cessaro.

 

[blindman]

Tyson is doing anything he can I think Nattie is holding him down, if she just went with the shit he does both of them could win so much more.

The things he does is even better when he can bounce off Cesaro, and they got like 3 actual tag moves that look good.

Adam Rose is the only think wrong with this picture, someone needs to slap this guy just cause he's high and off his medication. #FACT

 

[MCMG]

Kidd really impressed me in NXT. I always thought of him as a guy who is just a very good wrestler but he showed he is much, much more. Indeed, I kind of hope he is done with NXT.

Being in a tag-team isn't all that bad. The reality is the WWE need more teams and Kidd/Cesaro will work. They can work on perfecting a gimmick but what they are doing right now is fine. Simply because it is realistic.

It might not last long. They might not win the tag-titles but, as of right now, I'm interested in seeing this tag-team and I hope they have success. In the long-term both guys future is probably/hopefully elsewhere. Cesaro can still reach an elite level and Kidd will always be a good hand. Both would make fine mid-card champions in the future.

 

[Mustang Sally]

I'm just thankful to see Tyson Kidd get some play after all these years. The guy is ultra-talented in the ring but either has a bland personality......or his employer simply hasn't allowed him to display the mic ability he does have.

As it is, I'm presuming the reason we're seeing him now is because of his wife....and if that's so, I think it's great. I would imagine this doesn't bother Tyson, either; if the stupid diva show forced WWE management to notice the guy has something to offer, let's run with it.

As for his pairing with Cesaro, I have the same feeling; go with it. Here, we've got two guys who can really work in the ring, yet in different styles that provide a nice contrast. At the same time, both Kidd and Cesaro have been shot down before as individual performers, so why not team 'em up and see if they can create some excitement? Could the whole be greater than the sum of the parts? Why not?

As always, the result will depend on the writing. Their work in the ring is already excellent, so it will be up to the writers to make it possible for these guys to grab the brass ring.

I hope it works. Both guys have labored long and hard.....and success would be well-deserved.

 

[Hem]

I think Kidd and Cesaro can be a high profile tag team as the Brass Ring Club. It can start off as a small scale way to get two talented guys some air time. A tag team can venture into bigger and better things while remaining a tag team..I wish we saw that more often now a days.

What I think should happen is at Fast Lane, Kidd & Cesaro win the titles and defend them, in an epic manner, until like Summerslam and then at that time both men WHILE being champions can challenge for the US Title (Kidd) and IC Title (Cesaro).

Doing this they can further their tag title run until a few more months when you finally start teasing jealousy. This leads to Cesaro turning face and Kidd staying heel. Kidd betrays him during a title defense and they lose the titles.

At a major PPV they finally face off with both their individual titles on the line for a title unification match.

Kidd wins that match and becomes the undisputed IC champion. Cesaro goes onto a few more mid-card/some what high profile feuds and climbs the ladder until he challenges for the WWE Title.

I don't see any harm in them being a tag team for awhile anyway. With the rumoured breakup of the Dust brothers, and Miz and Mizdow having martial issues, the tag team division needs new teams, and now.

It gives both of them TV time, and they work quite well together. It's hard to believe that Kidd has been wrestling for almost two decades, he just doesn't look his age. He's definitely paid his dues and it's nice to see him back on the main roster.

The only thing that bothers me though is this Uso/Naomi/Nattie/Kidd stuff. Keep the crap from Total Diva's or as I call it "Drama Queen Central" on that show and off RAW and SD. There is no reason for Nattie to be coming to the ring with him, she's becoming more like his mother than his wife.

 

[Jack-Hammer]

I think it's good use of Tyson Kidd. I believe his time in NXT has done him a lot of good as far as personality goes, the guy didn't seem to have one prior to heading down there. He's actually comfortable on the mic now and he's cut some good promos. He's always been strong in the ring, but a distinct lack of personality was always his biggest weakness. Like others have mentioned, I'm good with Tyson actually getting some air time and being part of a tag team who's relevance is growing week after week. I see the two of them as tag team champions at some point, possibly at WrestleMania or within the first couple of months after WrestleMania.

I don't see Tyson Kidd ever rising through the ranks of WWE's singles wrestlers. I MIGHT see him getting an IC title run at some point, but that won't be doing him any favors until Vince stops booking the IC champ to look like a chump. He & Cesaro are a good mix of athleticism and technical ability that mesh quite well together. With someone to sort of play off of, Cesaro can be pretty decent on the microphone and his power brings a little something extra to things.

You want Natalya out of their storyline? Then say goodbye to Kidd. She and Total Divas is the only reason he's on TV. It's one of their shows. They're going to promote it on their programming. He's got the personality and charisma of a broomstick. Sadly, she's not much better.

 

[Doctor Awesome]

I think he is the perfect Tag Team wrestler considering there isn't a Jr. Heavyweight division. His forgettable presence overshadows his in-ring ability so being paired with another "tag team specialist" is just right for him as he is working to enhance his character and overall presence in the company which is exactly what Cesaro needs to do. I really like the fact that they are working on a team move set, it shows they are committed to making this work. Also, I feel like we are seeing more of their personalities shine through (the dinner scene showed what arrogant pricks they were) but I feel like they need Nattie to go full heel and support what they are doing. Total Divas had a hand in getting Tyson back on the main stage so if a feud stemming from their time on there helps then so be it; embrace it and run with it.

I must say though in slightly related news; I know he has gone through several trial-and-error periods with his ring attire but this current one with the graffiti that says "cats" on his kick pad is ridiculous. Even if they don't go with sync'd attire (though they should) he needs to get rid of that #FACT. The more they let him talk the better. He doesn't have to be Bray Wyatt with promos, just be a cocky heel who says something meaningful, gets under the skin of guys he feuds with and let's see what we have in him.

 

[DCLXVI]

Tyson Kidd is the most improved dude on the roster. He really found his stride in NXT and I also think he's one of the top 3 actual wrestlers on the main roster as well. At first I felt kind of uneasy about him being paired with Cesaro and thought "oh god they are going to be jobbing to the Uso's for the next months just as he's come back to main roster". Well, they actually click amazingly as a tag team in and out of the ring. By themselves, they are each an okay promo with Cesaro being the weaker of the two. Well together, they seem to give each another just enough support to make one another better and enhance each other on the mic. They are a much better promo than WWE's top tag team the Uso's. They work at a really fast pace and actually come with innovative cooperative tag moves!

I was appauled with how Cesaro was used but seeing him in this tag setting almost makes me think that's where he needs to be right now. He can be top notch in a tag setting, and seems to have a hard time breaking through as a singles wrestler with how he's been used. Around the time Ambrose was DDTing him over and over with a pumpkin on his head that felt like the final burial.

I also marked out when I saw them wearing the mock Bullet Club shirts but I think Brass Ring Club sounds pretty stupid. I like Nattie's addition to the stable because it doesn't hurt to have one of the best Divas on your side rather than just as a talking head. It gives the option to use her in a physical capacity in matches and it adds to the element of Tyson Kidd using her as a distraction to win matches. Adam Rose will be fine in their stable if they have him FINALLY ditch the Rosebuds altogether, and continue with that more aggressive style he's using again instead of the lame pseudo-gay comedy spots. They have dragged that out long enough.

There has to be more tag teams if they plan on keeping them together though as others have mentioned. We don't need 6 months of them wrestling the Uso's every RAW or Smackdown. That really soured what could have been a great run for the Dust Brothers.
