10 Questions Every WWE Tag Team Should Ask Each Other
10. Do You Want To Be My Partner?
753506This is the wrestling version of popping the question. If your partner says yes, you are essentially married. Everything you do, everything you say, and everything you are is now connected to your tag team partner. Most don’t think about it, but this is how every tag team must start.
Somebody has to propose it. Whether you’re the best of friends, former enemies, brothers or two random fellas that meet in an arena one day, somebody has to ask “do you want to be my tag team partner?” before you become a tag team.
Now if you’re brothers like The Usos or the Hardy Boys, it’s an easy question to answer. Of course you want to work with your brother who you love, trust and presumably have chemistry with. For best friends, the answer is likely yes, but with a little more apprehension.
They say it’s hard to be roommates with your best friend, so being in a tag team could ruin the entire relationship. Then there are those that aren’t best friends or relatives, just simply two athletes that figure pooling their resources will help them make it. In the short term these pairs are hot commodities, but much like Hollywood couples, they tend to flame out spectacularly in the end.
What’s funny is to think about all the tag teams that weren’t. For as many times as partners said yes to becoming a tandem, there have to be dozens of superstars that turned down the “Tag Team Proposal”.
