10 Attitude Era WWE Tag Teams You Totally Don't Remember
9. Rikishi & Haku
You'll know Rikishi as an Attitude Era staple and one of WWE's most popular midcard acts during his thong-clad hip-hop dancing days, and Haku as the nose-biting, eyeball-gouging, tooth-breaking hardest man alive, but their run as a tag team was entirely forgettable.
Haku returned to the company after a nine-year absence in the 2001 Royal Rumble. He drew little reaction as a surprise entrant, but pairing him with Rikishi was WWE's answer with Mr. Phatu's solo heel run went south. The former Too Cool affiliate was a rank failure as the man who ran 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin over, but remained on the villainous side while paired with Haku, and they indulged in a brief feud with Kane and The Undertaker.
The Samoan duo enjoyed little success against the Brothers of Destruction, and their run came to an end after just two months. Rikishi was injured in March. Haku was left to toil on Sunday Night Heat, and never reunited with his former partner before being served his walking papers in July. Rikishi, meanwhile, returned as a babyface in December, and stayed with WWE until 2004.
