I legit think they forget the long term. Short term it can be some neat segments, Enzo crying was good, Cass's promo was pretty good. The feeling of betrayal and emotions of a friendship ending a strong emotions to evoke.

But yeah the long term effects should be more strongly considered.

They never have a long term plan for breaking up tag teams. It's always the same thing, the bigger guy turns on the smaller one, they have a boring feud, big guy wins, then they both go on to do gently caress all until they either reunite long after everyone stopped caring, vanish from TV for months/years, or quietly get released. Sometimes all the above.

Who was the last midcard tag team to break up and it not immediately go horribly wrong for both? Miz and Morrison?

Heyo Rovert, have there ever been any mumblings about the legitimacy of Joe Negron from Smart Wrestling Fan? At least 45 minutes of that 3 hour podcast are spent on talking about his inside info and badmouthing other podcasts every week.

More interesting, he claims to have heard of internal talk of transitioning the failing extra hour in the arena every week for 205 Live into simply another hour of Smackdown. Is anything he says reliable?

After the promo she cut, it'd be really great if they just fuckin' let Becky win the fuckin' briefcase. Can we have just one part of this company that isn't dominated by heels? Please?

She'll win it but then turn heel.

It's almost as if the point of a tag team is to fill out the weak spots of individual wrestlers so that they can both get over instead of floundering. I really don't know why Vince loves breaking up tag teams so much.

Because one guy got over from a tag team breakup 25 years ago

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
They should just move the Ellsworth rib-on-Enzo-character to next level and pair Cass and Ellsworth and actually put the tag titles on them.

I wish Becky had won MITB :smith:

I actually did rather dig her venting her feelings to Daniel Bryan on the latest Smackdown and reminding him he was actually in a position to do something about all these people who constantly cheat/take shortcuts while she actually tries to do things the right way.

the titus/tozawa angle is actually good because while titus is a big dipshit, and is tripping over his own dick constantly, he's accidentally promoting Tozawa so well he's going to get him a title shot.

The fact that said happened to be the literal GOAT was obviously not a factor. Clearly anyone will get the same level of success from a tag team breakup in McMahon's mind.

Remember when Brodus Clay turned on Tensai and talked about how he was a main event player and proceeded to never show up on TV again until he was quietly released? Me neither.

the funny thing was the whole storyline was featured on main event.

then after his promo in the pimp suit in which he complained about his booking and even the way they booked tensai he disappeared and got sent back to nxt as dark brodus or whatever.

now he's tyrus and also a fox news contributor.
