Though he was always a fine, technically sound wrestler, Charlie Haas' charisma vortex meant he was never well-equipped for life as a WWE Superstar. The World's Greatest Tag Team were solid, but his inability to convey any kind of personality on air eventually caught up with him, even if an August 2008 run as a roster impersonator delivered a few fleeting moments of entertainment.

WWE attempted to play on his bone-dry srs rassler image by pairing him with the flamboyant Rico in 2004. They gained immediate booking traction, winning the Tag Team Titles out of nowhere in their very first match together, unseating popular nostalgia duo Scotty 2 Hotty and Rikishi. Though their predecessors' run wasn't built to last, it was nonetheless a jarring decision.

Two months of meh followed. Haas and Rico mounted several successful defences before The Dudley Boyz took their gold away in June, with the duo going their separate ways soon after. A love triangle with valet Miss Jackie and Dawn Marie followed for Charlie, while Rico was unexpectedly cut from the company in November 2004, retiring the following year.
