Tag teams in WWE

So, it's been a couple of weeks since Los Matadores debuted in WWE - the first team to get welcoming promo videos that I can remember for years. Although the actual team aren't new at all (Epico and Primo were tag champs in 2012, after all), they've been a whole new gimmick, names, no mention of their history, and a dwarf. And in WWE, nothing screams 'PUSH!' more than being given a dwarf.

This means that after Christ knows how long, we actually have a tag division with defined teams, names, gimmicks and attention on it. In no particular order, there's the Real Americans (and the ready-made feud with Los Matadores that seems to be heading our way), Clay and Tensai, Los Matadores of course, the  rumoured team of Kidd & Justin Gabriel, The Rhodes Brothers, and surely it's only a matter of  time before Kofi Kingston gets a new partner (Miz? R-Truth?) and gets shoved back in there. The Wyatt Family still look good...

I'm excluding the Shield from this, as I think they'll be splitting before too long, and Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose will be pushed as stars.

If you think back the number of WWE's absolute biggest stars, loads of them made the breakthrough as tag wrestlers - Edge, Jeff Hardy, Bret Hart, HBK, Steve Austin in WCW, I think it makes absolute sense for WWE to start paying attention to the tag division again. the problem will be when WWE gets bored of it, and the division gets robbed out to making sure the Big Show looks like a monster again in about a year. As the Attitude era showed, a good tag division can be a great thing. I'm not convinced that this crop could rival that, but the addition of a couple of teams from NXT, could be making of someone like Brodus Clay or Cesaro in a couple of years time.

But that little bull is going to irritate the living shit out of me in another week.

It does seem to be getting a push but a few more teams are needed. PAC and Cory Graves are a team I like on NxT (even though I don't see them in a Long term team is a think graves will be a world champion in the future). I'd bring back MNM and use them as a fan favourite like the rockers were. PG era and teenage girl screaming after them.

I'd also pair up Hunico & Sin Cara, Hunico could probably save a match after a Sin Cara botch.

PAC's the guy who'll be the star. Graves is great, just a bit too thin (not small, like Bryan who short but still pretty muscly. Graves just looks thin).

As for Sin Cara, I think WWE are counting down his contract so they can get rid of him. Possibly the biggest flop I've seen in WWE.

PAC needs to work on lessening his accent - nothing wrong with it but the yanks will struggle I reckon. I like Graves as well, has good presence.
Nice to see some teams again but Cesaro is the one that stands out.

Talking of Tag teams - the BFG tag title match is good.

I honestly think they have the best Feud on in WWE atm with the Rhodes vs The Shield and now The Uso's getting thrown into it out of all the matches at HIAC im looking forward most is the tag team match. The tag divison has certain had a clean up and gotten back to being good i used to fast forwarded the tag matches but now its the matches i watch most now.
