The WWE currently, as of Extreme Rules 2014, has these two things:

- An abundance of low-to-mid card wrestlers who do gently caress all every week.
- A complete lack of tag teams with any credibility to challenge for the tag titles.

With Cody Rhodes and Goldust's inevitable breakup imminent, we're left with Los Matadores, 3MB, Rybaxel, and (sort of) The Shield as potential opponents for the Usos. We've got all these other assholes sitting around, so let's just fuckin' pair them up and try to rebuild this division (again). Here's a couple pairing thoughts I've had recently:

Dolph Ziggler and Big E
Alignment: Face
Why: Ziggler and Big E have history. Big E was brought up to the main roster as Ziggler's heavy and remained there until splitting with him while Ziggler turned face, to defend AJ Lee instead. Since E's had a face turn of his own, the two have been back on friendly terms and seem to show no ill-will towards one another currently. They've fought for the titles before at Wrestlemania 29 and have personalities that seems to bounce off each other well. Big E's just lost his Intercontinental Title and Ziggler remains fairly over as a face despite the WWE's best efforts. Pairing the two now for a tag title run would keep them both relatively strong and approximately where they should be at this point in time. Both have credibility and are past champions.

Big Show and Mark Henry a.k.a. The World's Strongest Show
Alignment: Face
Why: They're two huge fuckin' dudes who will murder you. Instantly credible. Were going to team up to take on the Shield last year before injuries derailed the idea. Would be a fun spectacle.

Cody Rhodes and Wade Barrett
Alignment: Heel
Why: This one is admittedly a stretch, given Cody hasn't actually turned yet and Wade's just won the IC title. But the two are about to team up on Youtube's JBL and Cole show to take on some bizarre conspiracy theory propagated by Michael Cole or something and they have some pretty good comedy chops there. Both have held midcard championships.

Some lists for your convenience:

Feel free to make up actually credible teams or comedy jobber teams or even stables if you want. There's a lot of people in this company that could be used for basically anything right now so why not dream a bit?

Birds revere you and consider you one of their own.

You are welcome in their holy places.
JTG and Darren Young
Alignment: Face Jobbers
Why: They were both a part of fun black tag teams and both of their bigger partners turned heel on them and then didn't go anywhere. It's perfect.

John Cena and The Undertaker
Team Name: Hustle Loyalty Death
Alignment: Face
Why: Actually they did pretty well in my video games believe it or not

Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre
Alignment: Heel I guess
Why: Heath Slater needs to be solo

Jey Uso and John Uso
Alignment: Face tag champs
Why: They have the same last name

CM Punk and Tyson Kidd
Alignment: Face
Why: Gets Punk back on TV

Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins
Alignment: Heel
Why: Actually these two were a tag team in the past. Former tag champs actually. Neither guy has had an angle in ages, and both would benefit from getting back together.

El Local and El Torito have been talking things over, in Spanish of course, which infuriates Zeb Colter sitting the table down trying to sign his next Zeb Colter guy, and decide that the WWE needs to retread the Mexicools. As they end the conversation, Layla El offers her managerial services to the new team.

In all seriousness, I think they should try reuniting Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins if they're going to bother keeping them on the roster. It's not like they're doing anything else worthwhile and they could play up the fact that they're former champs to try to give them some respect given the fact that one's currently a jobber and one's just invisible.

Listen buddy I'll grant you that he looks a little more like Hansel in that he is blond, but in terms of his character Mr. Breeze is clearly more similar to Mr. Zoolander. If you'll recall, Hansel's persona revolved around being a laid-back extreme sports neo-hippie who tried very hard to look like be didn't care about his image. Mr. Zoolander was the more pouty, obviously self-absorbed one.

You know, I'd be less worried about my 16 year old daughter dating a successful 40 year old cartoonist than dating a 16 year old loser.

I mean, Jesus, kid, at least date a motherfucker with abortion money and house to have sex at where your mother and I don't have to hear it. Also, if he treats her poorly, boom, that asshole's gonna catch a statch charge.

Please, John K. Date my daughter... Save her from dating smelly dropouts who wanna-be Soundcloud rappers.
The Shield.

The Wyatts.

Evolution.

Freebird rules. Boom you have an awesome tag division.

Have a big star take the titles, keep them for a long period of time, put on great matches and then your title gains prestige, it matters again.

Should never have gotten rid of the Rhodes Brothers. They were really good.
