I loved your first blog about this subject, but I’m even more impressed with your continuation of this in this blog. To your point that you referenced about Ken Anderson, I felt the same way about Bobby Roode in TNA. To me, when he was teamed with James Storm to make Beer Money INC., and then to break out from that and become the great heel he is now; it was perfect. Here’s a guy who had a glimmer of something, but needed to groom it to become a big deal, and when the time was right, he struck and hit it hard becoming the self-proclaimed “IT” factor.
Too bad the ‘E don’t do something like that. To me, it almost seems like going into the tag-team division in WWE is some sort of punishment or just way of saying “hey we/ people like you guys, but we don’t have any main event big title pictures for you so we‘re gonna put you and this guy together as a tag-team. You two can work out the details,” sans Kofi/R-Truth, Kofi/Evan Bourne, Miz & Morrison, McIntyre & Rhodes, Santino and Kozlov.

I thought your last blog was gr8..but this is gr8er than that...

I agree with every single word in it....when Randy orton lost his IC championship I thought he'll continue to feud for it or go for tag titles..when Batista won WHC I felt arghhh why he has not won IC/US championship...

Tag teams will allow wrestlers to understand their strengths n weaknesses n also it will allow them to have chemistry with fellow wrestler...it will teach them match psychology as well...

One of the best blogs I've read in ages. Superb.

Great Blog perhaps the BEST on this forum. I liked your point of preventing ppl from power hogging...but, even after Nash/Hall moved out we got great tag teams in NAO, Hardyz, E&C, Dudleyz to name so....

Good historical knowledge! The E is rebuilding the tag division though, Prime Time Players have been introduced (to Raw) very effectively and it feels like there's a lot bubbling under for a heavy division soon. I think it would have worked out better sooner had air boom not derailed so soon... but what can you do. As a side note the focus on managers/associates in the corner has really been pushed over the last few months!

Very very well done- top blog and points. Not sure of the accuracy of the Brets vs Shawns team power struggle as the turning point but as good as consipiracy theory as I have heard- and hey thats what blogging is all about. One can only hope that with the 3 hour Raw or the "network" Trips can start pushing some old school tag team revival into his Pops!

This might be the best blog I have read on this site. It's historically informed and makes a unique point. To rebuild the division it needs to matter that the guys are tag team champions. The old line they would always use was these guys aren't familiar with each other while the *Insert famous tag team here* know exactly what they are doing together in the ring. That kind of commentating made tag team wrestling an almost separate skill set from being a singles competitor. Thanks for the read
