Over the last couple of years, WWE seems to be pulling
away from tag team wrestling, which I am
a big fan of.
I miss the teams of the late 1990s when New Age
Outlaws, the APA, Edge and Christian, The Dudleys and
the
Hardy Boyz had some of the most memorable matches.
And who will ever forget the great teams of the Hart
Foundation,
Demolition, and the Bushwackers? Even with
Animal and Heidenreich, the tag team division has been
weak for the past
year or so. What is the future of
tag team wrestling in WWE?
I too am a fan of tag team wrestling, but an old
wrestling
adage says that single stars sell more
tickets in main event slots than do tag teams. The
lack of top-line tag teams
in WWE is a reflection of
the overall lack of quality depth in the business in
general. I would not be surprised if
we see a few new
teams arrive on the scene much sooner than later on
both RAW and SmackDown! and be put in a position
to
make an impact. Whether these teams can carry the ball
to the Promised Land remains to be seen. I sure hope
so
as opportunity waits. There is no tag team bias in
WWE, just a lack of enough good teams to make this
“division”
as interesting as it could be
