Born in the remains of the Un-Americans, the team of William Regal and Lance Storm were already hated as singles stars when they came together to create one of the most technically-sound and dangerous duos of the 2000s. They were dastardly villains who would win any way possible, though did not necessarily need to cheat given their ability to out-wrestle any of their opponents. With tag teams such as Goldust and Booker T and the Dudley Boyz creating such impassioned responses from fans, Regal and Storm were the perfect foil for them. Whereas Goldust and Booker were a dynamic, wildly entertaining team that could elicit laughs as much as they could cheers for their in-ring work, Regal and Storm basked in the jeers of villainy done correctly. They were a throwback to a time when heels were not concerned with being cool, hip or more popular than the babyfaces. They were just good, old-fashioned rogues and the tag team division, as well as WWEs overall product, benefited from having them on the roster.
