8 Attitude Era Tag Teams That Should Return To WWE
The Headbangers might be on their way back, so why not these guys too?
Rumour has it that Thrasher and Mosh, collectively known as The Headbangers, are due to return to World Wrestling Entertainment tomorrow evening on SmackDown Live. The duo may well end up being the first obstacles in front of Heath Slater and Rhyno, as the SmackDown Tag Team Championship Tournament continues towards the inevitable American Alpha success.
Despite being a big fan of the Headbangers back in the day, I'll believe the rumours of their return when I see it with my own four eyes. The one-time WWF Tag Team Champions were a secondary team at best during the Attitude Era, and wouldn't have been on the many folk's 'dream return' list following the 2016 WWE Draft.
All of which got me thinking; if Thrasher & Mosh can return to provide some vague name value in an enhancement role, what of other teams from the Attitude Era. Now, there aren't a whole lot of teams from that era that could return, due to the whole 'death' thing, but I've managed to find eight that could feasibly do a job.
So here are eight Attitude Era teams that should return to put over your Breezangos and American Alphas. Keep in mind this is Attitude Era only, so fans of Gymini, The Dicks and Mexicools may be disappointed.
7. The Un-Americans
I guess WWE tried the whole 'we aren't American so we're a group' thing recently with the League of Nations, but they did it with all the enthusiasm of a husband at a baby shower in the early hours of a Bank Holiday Monday. The Un-Americans were a successful anti-American group, although a lot of that was down to the quality of the men that made up the group.
Lance Storm is the perfect fit for any anti-something group, his total lack of enthusiasm and excitement exacerbated by his second-to-none technical ability. Christian was always fun in irritating heel roles too, and this was the most fun Test was in the company after Triple H drugged and married his fiancee.
William Regal and Chris Jericho were also associated with the group, making it the most technically sound collection of wrestlers this writer can think of. Christian has been retired, Storm too and Test is no longer with us, but Jericho and maybe even Kevin Owens could take on the Un-Americans legacy with no issues.
