Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is a Prime Time with Sean Mooney production. Today
we're talking about why the ww tag team division is dead.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
So good morning to you folks. Good morning.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
And the reason it's dead, By the way, I'm in
my kids bedroom, so get a lot of toys back there.
The reason it's dead is because there's no tag teams
that really jump out at you anymore. You know, you
have Judgment Day and war Raiders. But honestly, besides the
TLC matches on SmackDown, what matches in the WWE in
(00:33):
the past, you know ten years do you remember, the
one that jumps out to me is the USOS versus
Kevin Owens and the Sammu's Ain menivating a WrestleMania. The
only reason they may invented it at WrestleMania is because
they were attached to the Bloodline story. If they were
not part of the Bloodline story, the tag team titles
or a tag team would never ever make an event
(00:56):
a WrestleMania. Because go back to the first time a
tag team and invented in WrestleMania, WrestleMania one, nineteen eighty five.
It's almost forty years ago. Actually it is forty years ago,
and in today's world. The only reason that tag team
match ever made advantage was because the bloodline. Okay, so
from Russemania one to up to thirty nine, that's the reasoning.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
In today's world, I bet a million dollars to one.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Some people in the comments couldn't tell me who the
Smack Dawn Tag Team Champions are, and.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
It feels like you should know. You know, we have
the Wyats.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Okay, it's the Whyats spoilerer, it's the whyas both the
street profits very boring. They used to be great in
the New day, very boring used to be great. I
know they're doing this whole funeral of oh, the death
of the tag team division. That's what kind of inspired
me to make this video because it's true, Like.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Even though they're joking, it's not a joke. It's true.
Like the tag team division is dead.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Go back to the Ruthless Aggression era when we had
all these tag teams but yet no one cared about.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Any of them.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Paul London and Ken and Lowry's a Stunts and Trevor
Murdock and Lance Caide. Back in the day, you became
tag team champions, you had it for a long time.
You lost to two singles. Wrestlers usually like it's John.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Cena and somebody with the tag team titles. Oh my god,
that's how you did it.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
In today's world, you could have a million tag teams
all you want, but none of them mean shit and
nothing against the wrestlers, like Murder City machine Guns, nothing
against anybody. But in reality, when we don't nobody cares
about tag teams. When you don't have the tag team
titles showcase on your big pl E events constantly, that
really shows you that these aren't the stars you're looking for.
(02:35):
Because Becky Lynch as the Women's Intern cardinal and champion,
now her is a main star. She's making this championship
something that people actually want to look at.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
When Lyra had it was.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Yeah, it's cool, it's a great time. It's so happy.
This championships here woo. But now with her being a champion, honestly,
I think it is time to go back to having.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Champions beat two stings. Those wrestlers.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Hell, give it to Johnson and Our Truth. That would
get more eyeballs and more of a run on the
tag team titles than having the Wyats.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
And I get it, the Wyots. They're fun they're they're weird,
they're bizarre.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
But the tag team division is dead in my eyes,
there are no matches I want to see.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
There is no combos I'm excited about. Anyone can have
a TLC. Let's let's back up. Anyone can have a
TLC match and make it exciting, because.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
You know why you fall off latders, You're going through tables,
there's steel chairs, doing crazy shit, and everybody in those matches.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Make those matches excited because I don't give a shit.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
If you're the great Kylie to Hornswoggle to Matt Gardona,
if you fall off a lotta through a table, it's entertaining.
It is very entertaining. I don't care who you are.
So I think now the best thing to do is
start over. Let's get some new NXT talent up there.
Let's break up some teams. Let's combine some two wrestlers together,
(04:00):
and not the wrestlers who were doing nothing like Andrada
and Ray Phoenix. I'm sorry, you weren't doing shit before.
So we're gonna combine two people who have nothing going
on together as a tag team and see if we're interested.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
We're not.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Okay, It's like taking pizza, the worst two topics of
pizza and putting them together on one pizza and saying
isn't this better?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
No, it's not. It is not better.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
So in reality, the division is dead. We need to restack, redraft,
break them up, form some new ones. That's my thoughts
this morning here on Tank Help Media and the Fans
Perspective podcast. You know again, it's seven thirty in the
morning where I am, So this is what I'm waking
up to in my brain. So in reality, thanks for
watching and let me know in the comments what tag
(04:43):
team should be the tag Team Champions, because I think
Seen in Our Truth is a good one. Honestly, I
wouldn't be my room and reigns and see them punk.
Another great combo, bron Breaker Bronson reed, another great combo.
These are the combos that would make these tag team
matches interesting. The tag teams you have now but have names. No,
not doing it for me and not doing it for me,
(05:05):
it's dead. Rest in peace, Tag Team Division. Hopefully you
figure some shit out because right now you're not doing anything.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Thanks for watching.
