Two New Tag Teams??

Quote :

-- There was an idea tossed around at a creative team meeting last week for Hornswoggle to be paired up with Festus.

Both Superstars were drafted to the Raw brand in the Supplemental Draft two weeks ago.

-- As reported earlier, Mike Knox was put together in a tag team with Charlie Haas during the European tour. WWE may have plans to put the two SmackDown wrestlers together permanently as they already have their own team nickname. Prior to their match with Primo and Carlito at a live event last week, they were announced as the "Hard Knox Connection."

-- As seen on tonight's episode of Raw, Jamie Noble was shown sporting a new look as his head is now shaved bald. He actually debuted the look during the European tour.

Can imagine 'Swoggle holding Festus back when the bell ring's.

Haas was great along side Benji, but hasn't done much for a few year's now, good to see something 'serious' with him, though Mike Knox? Not sure bout this pairing, but I like the name (shortened to Haard Knoxx?), and if they look the part, then it should be good to watch.

Oppinion's?

Haas and Knox could work well together but i can't see hornswoggle and festus being any good.

So basically they're saying they don't have any ideas for any of these guys, so let's stick these two comedy characters in a team and these two guys with no personality in another team just for the hell of it. Neither team excites me, but I could possibly get behind a team with Haas in it, so long as they teamed him with somebody decent.

Im the same Gunz, but Il wait 'til I see how this Hard Knoxx team goes, wasn't a fan of Knox, but I didn't dislike him either, I was indifferent to him, so let's see how this work's out. After all this is Haas' first serious run in a long time.

Yeah, 'Swoggle and festus are only ever going to have a short run as a comedy tag team, but tbh I dont see it happening, but then again, what else could you do with the two seperately? Finlay and Hornswoggle was stale as week old cider, and Jesse and Festus hadn't been used in month's (imo they hadn't (fully) run their course as a team, but if some one does say this, I would understand where they would be coming from).

I haven't really seen anything in Knox to suggest he's a worthwhile addition to WWE's roster, he's got about the same level of ability as the likes of Snitsky in my opinion. Would rather Haas was paired with somebody with a good level of wrestling ability, but who could also carry the team in interview segments.

Definitely glad Hornswoggle and Finlay have been split, maybe Finlay can now go back to his serious persona. Also I guess they needed something for Hornswoggle, it doesn't appear as if he'll be getting fired anytime soon, seeing as the kids really like him.

Festus & 'swoggle FFS

I think if they were on the same brand Haas/Noble/Regal any three of them together would be class

Yeah I was thinking that Haas and Noble would be a perfect team myself fergie. Both are really good in the ring and Noble is good on the mic. Also they've both been completely jobbed out over the last few years, so a tag team might be the only way to rescue them.

I think Knox and Hass could be alright, I read last week that Hass was growing a beard so maybe if he still is its to help them look similar, Knox is alright, big powerful guy, has looked quite good doing power moves and Hass can do all the fast paced stuff

As for Hornswoggle and Festus, I don't think it would be as a tag team, more of a manager role like he had with Finlay, I was thinking that they would need to do something like this if they weren't going to repackage Festus, they need someone to ring the bell and stuff, as much as I hate the leprechaun, he could probably do that job

I would like to see Chavo and Jamie Noble stay together as a team though, both could be a pretty decent team

They looked decent together on Raw Gaffer which was a pleasant surprise. I'd like to see them stay together as well because the Tag Team division needs some new blood now.

I was gonna say about Noble and Chavo, both have been buried over the past couple of years or so, a tag team in which they slowly build up would be good. Chavo could do the talking with Noble the rough, tough one.

I don't mind the idea of Haas and Knox, although neither could do the talking to be honest, if the tag team was to get over a manager would have to be brough in, but can't think of anyone.

I would rather they just keep Festus off screen for a while and brough him back looking different, new attire, new name, new gimmick. It would be a lot better than the mismatch team that Hornswoggle and Festus would be.

I'd just keep Festus off screen until Glen Jacobs is ready to retire then just have him 'redebut' as a masked up and suited up KANE

It could possibly work as Festus is only 24 isn't he? So has a lot left in him.

I'm not sure though, Glen Jacobs made the character his own, and although not as big as the Undertaker I feel it would be a tad disrespectful. But then again Kane was a very good character and I think everyone feels it could have a lot left in it, especially with a new younger guy under the mask.

Also Festus I felt played the part perfectly when he was the fake Kane, got all the manerisms spot on.

Has anyone seen Haas and Knox at the wrestlemania revenge tour and did they work well together?

I said it more tounge in cheek to be fair, I wouldn't actually mind them doing that either if I'm honest, he is very decent for a big guy and is screaming out for a new gimmick, probably couldn't play Kane, like you say, it would be disrespectful as Glen has played it for 12 years, but I wouldn't mind seeing a monster heel be brought in who is exactly like Kane in 1997, give him the same sort of suit, different colour of course give him a mask and not allow him to talk, or have him repackaged as an evil Clown, I think Clowns are freaky as hell, I think that could get well over again, Doink could have been massive if they didn't turn him face just as his heel character was getting good

festus is only 24! he must have had a really tough paper round
