By Request - The Great Tag Divison

Tag division where art thou?

Where has it gone though seriously?

Back in the 90's we had great tag teams. Edge and Christian, The Hardy Boyz, The Dudley Boyz, Demolition, The Road Warriors, The New Age Outlaws, T and A, Too Cool, Rock n Sock Connection and Two Man Power Trip. This list could go on forever but somewhere down the line it would end abruptly. Somewhere down the line WWE stopped caring for the tag division. Somewhere down the line Vince decided singles were better. I believe he was wrong. I believe the tag division is just as important, if not more important than the singles division. The tag division used to be somewhere you could develop your promo skills (Edge and Christian). The tag division used to be somewhere you could shine and create feuds (The Hardy Boyz). The tag division used to be worth something (The Dudley Boyz). But now its gone. Its nothing. Vince poisoned it. But it can be saved.

How?

Simply put - Develop believable teams. There have been plenty of teams that have come and gone over the last few years in WWE. Even guys like CM Punk and Kofi Kingston teamed together. It just seemed WWE through two guys together and told them you are a team now. The most recent example of this is Rhode Scholars. But what if WWE took two guys aside and said go learn these moves and come back with this style? What if something as simple as a little face paint could make you easier to invest in?

Seriously though if it aint broken dont try fix it. Even thing such as wearing matching gear can make a tag team more relevant. WWE have a bad habit at the moment of just throwing two guys together who have no storyline and hoping it works out EG Orton and Sheamus who have tagged together on several occasions even though they have no reason to.

But could WWE take superstars who aren't currently relevant and make them a successful tag team?

Pairings

Big guy + little guy = works

Mouthpiece + muscle = works

High flyer + powerhouse = works

Now keeping that system in mind could WWE not use two guys like Big Zeke and JTG and use them as a tag team. Re-package them as two guys who are sick of being held down and they want to show what they have got. Put them in matching colours or matching gear and BOOM a tag team can be born. If they dont get over dont just get rid of them. Nothing wrong with a jobber tag team (just ask Primo and Epico).
Guys like Mason Ryan and Alex Riley could even make a good team.

Who would I make a team?

Ted Dibiase and Alex Riley -Million Dollar Playboys

JTG and Ezekial Jackson - The Brigade

Santino and Yoshi Tatsu - The Foreign Exchange
Tyson Kidd and Justin Gabriel 

Kassius Ohno and Antonio Cesaro (if you don't know why just go hang your head in shame)

There are a lot of options really. If I could draft other guys I would put Alex Shelley and Corey Graves together. I feel they could be great as a tag team and they could revitalise the cruiser weights.
