10 Underrated Wrestling Partnerships
6. Carmella & James Ellsworth
Forget dance breaks, R-Truth's funny forgetfulness or the fact she comes across like Katie White from The Ting Tings trying to rap, because Carmella's partnership with Truth can't touch the one she enjoyed with James Ellsworth. Yes, Jimmy, the man who will forever be remembered as the dude with no chin who had 15 minutes of WWE fame.
As 'Mella's lackey, Ellsworth was bloody tremendous.
Dressed like a discount Vanilla Ice (which is really saying something), Jimmy followed his stuck-up friend around like a lost little boy. Surprisingly, the duo worked, and it's often forgotten that Carmella, pre-Ellsworth, was tanking as a babyface. Overnight, she developed some personality that didn't make people cringe.
That was Ellsworth's job. His claims that he and she were super-tight had fans rolling their eyes, and his deceptively hilarious unease over going shopping for new outfits and hearing his BFF dismiss him as unimportant made the gimmick sing.
