10 Things You Didn't Know About WWE In 2012

10. Triple H Attempted To Fix Tag Team Wrestling

Yes, that very same Triple H that buried the entire locker room by once noting how nobody else was fit to face The Undertaker at WrestleMania for two years following Shawn Michaels' retirement.

Making baby steps into the developmental role he'd eventually take from John Laurinaitis, 'The Game' spent some time behind the scenes in 2012 trying to rehabilitate the perpetually browbeaten doubles division.

Backstage news emerging from all the usual places at the time confirmed that Hunter was at the heart of an eight-team tournament that featured units including Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara, The Usos, Cody Rhodes & Damien Sandow and The Prime Time Players.

With the hugely popular Team Hell No typically atop the pile, it even appeared at points as if it was actually working. But if there's one thing as cyclical as the wrestling industry itself, it's Vince McMahon's undulating interest in tag team wrestling.

Bryan's popularity carried the status of the belts a little longer, but credible competition crumbled beneath the surface. It'd be years before Hunter's NXT golden era brought the art form back again.
