10 "New" Tag Teams That Failed Miserably In WWE

9. Demolition

Another heel team from the 1980s, Demolition steamrolled through the competition becoming one of the greatest tag teams of all time. Ax and Smash were huge stars in the golden era of WWF and held the World Tag Team Championship on three separate occasions.

Months after becoming Tag Team Champions for the third time at WrestleMania VI, Ax and Smash added a new member to the team, Crush. In reality, Crush was brought in because of some health concerns surrounding Bill Eadie (Ax) that put his in-ring future in doubt. By 1991, however, the duo that became a trio was back to only two members and the wheels soon fell off.

Ax left the company in late 1990, leaving only Smash and Crush, managed by Mr. Fuji, as the new Demolition. This version was totally ineffective and used as relative enhancement talents, even putting over the unknown Tenryu & Kitao at WrestleMania VII.

Plenty of fans fondly remember the trio of Ax, Smash, and Crush. Even more remember Demolition as just Ax and Smash, but the version of Smash and Crush, led by Mr. Fuji, was one of the sadder collapses of any major tag team in WWF history.
