Hey guys, I want to talk about something that is close to my heart:

The Tag Team Division

The Tag Team Division has been around for a VERY long time.

The Tag Teams has been around in the NWA as well as IWGP and still is to this day.

and it's also around in the Indy Scenes as well.

It has also been around in the WCW, ECW, AWA and the early days in the WWE.

The WWE has had alot of Tag Teams, like Demolition, Strike Focre, The Brain Busters, The Nasty Boys, Money Inc., and of course The Hart Foundation (Bret "The Hitman" Hart and Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart) and even The Road Warriors, also, during the Attitude Era there have been lots of Tag Teams, the likes of Edge & Christian, The Dudley Boyz, The Hardy Boyz, The APA and even The New Age Outlaws.

To even the Brand Extension Days of The World's Greatest Tag Teams, MNM and London & Kendrick.

But since then, the WWE has lost interest in Tag Teams.

I mean ever since the WWE has fired The Dudley Boys, and ever since they've split up Tag Teams, the WWE has lost interest in Tag Teams.

But in 2005 RAW has let their WWE World Tag Team Titles got to waste, they've had Rosey & The Hurricane, Kane & Big Show, The Spirit Squad, Ric Flair & Roddy Piper, Rated-RKO and Cena & Michaels, and they have NOT lasted too long.

I mean, when Hurricane & Rosey won the Gold, they had Stacy Keibler as their manager, but ever sicne the night after Summerslam, Stacy got traded to SD! and Hurricane & Rosey lost the Gold to Cade & Murdoch, and Hurricane & Rosey split, and Gregory Helms went to SD! and held the CW Gold for 55 weeks.

Kane & Big Show were TERRIBLE, and plus Kane & Big Show feuded @ Backlash, and plus Big Show went to ECW which was a TERRIBLE idea, and now Big Show now working on being a boxer while Kane is now on SD!

The Spirit Squad, the most ANNOYING Tag Team in the WWE, but thankfully, some of them are in OVW, while Kenny is on his own on SD! and Mitch is fired from the WWE, and that's b/c DX has DESTROYED them.

Edge & Orton are now on different brands, and as for Cena & Michaels, you KNEW that HBK was going to stab Cena in the back.

and also, 2006 was the WORST year for the Tag Team Division on RAW, I mean w/SD! having Tag Teams like James & Stevens, London & Kendrick and even MNM and The Hardys, RA has let ALL of their Tag Teams go to waste, b/c of 2 guys:

The reunited DX (Triple H and Shawn Michaels)

I mean, these guys were picking on Coach and also, pouring Green Slime on The Spirit Squad.

and ever since The Hardys won the World Tag Team Titles, they've brought BACK respect in the World Tag Team Titles.

But just when you thought that Tag Teams were going to be ressurected in the WWE, the Tag Team Titles on both RAW & SD! have once again went down the drain b/c of 2 Tag Teams:

Cade & Murdoch The WWE World Tag Team Champions

Deuce & Domino The SD! World Tag Team Champions

I mean, when The Hardys def. The World's Greatest Tag Team @ One Night Stand 2007, the following night, Vince McMahon forced them to defend their titles against Cade & Murdoch and lost them, and Cade & Murdoch had also swirved them and now they are calling themselves Sportsman of the Year.

WHAT A JOKE!

and now, neither Tag Team have been defending their titles to call themselves

FIGHTING CHAMPIONS!

and now, the Tag Teams are GONE in the WWE, but thankfully we have T N A.

TNA believes in Tag Teams, TNA has all kinds of Tag Teams, and TNA also carries on the Spirit and the Tradition of the Tag Team Division.

If you don't believe me, then I urge each and everyone one of you to pick up a copy of The Road Warriors 2-Disc DVD Set and also TNA's Best of the Tag Teams Vol. 1 and see what I mean.

But these days, the WWE doesn't get any respect when it comes to Tag Teams, people have been critisizing about WWE's Tag Team Division.

People like Road Warrior Animal, Scott Steiner, Team 3-D, BG James, Wildcat Chris Harris and even Former ECW Vixen and Former WWE Diva "Sunny" Tammy Lyn Sytch.

Even Michael "P.S." Hayes said on an interview on Byte This! back in December of 2005 when asked about the Tag Team Division in the WWE, he said that he was not happy w/the Tag Team Division in the WWE.

and so my question to you all is this:

Where Have all the Tag Teams Gone in the WWE?

THAT'S THE QUESTION!

So guys, please share your thoughts on all of this.

But there's one thing that I have to tell you:

I FEEL SORRY FOR CHERRY!

and plus, Cade & Murdoch are 2x WWE World Tag Team Champions.

They have been splitting them up into single's wrestlers. That, most of the time, never works.

wwe split up the tag teams then fired anyone who didn't do as well as a singles wrestler. Plus Big Show is going to be a boxer? That'll be exciting to watch. (sarcasm)

I dissagree. When kurt loses the tag titles the tag division could get better. 3D needs to disapeer. The steiners need to disapeer. LAX, MCMG, should have a good feud with great matches, not to mention that you have xxx which is one of the best tag teams out their along with lax. And its not like if tna were lacking tag team talent they couldn't just go to roh or somewhere and sign a team.

For the last fracking time Pacman can't wrestle if he ever wants to be in the nfl again.

Hey, I think that Hernandez is a great wrestler, and also, someone told me that he would like to see Scott Steiner and Hernandez team up.

and also, the WWE's Tag Team Division isn't any better, b/c the Tag Team Titles on both RAW & SD! haven't been defended in Lord knows how long.

I like TNA b/c it reminds me of WCW, I was a WCW fan and still is a WCW fan, but that's b/c Time Warner killed WCW, and Vinec had the nerve to buy the company.

and also, I heard that Bischoff wanted to buy WCW, but Vinnie Mac beat him to the puinch, but if Bischoff did buy WCW, then he wanted to put WCW on FSN.

and also, I think that Ron "The Truth" Killings should find himself another partner, IMO.

and also, say what you will, but I LOVE TNA, b/c I am NOT a WWE Fan.

and also, think back to when WWE had Mike Tyson as The Enforcer, and also, what about Dennis Rodman and Hollywood Hulk Hogan against Lex Luger and The Giant and then a year later, against DDP and Karl Malone.

Remember THAT?
