10 Best Thrown Together WWE Tag Teams

When it comes to tag teams, almost all sections of the wrestling community agree that the team part is pretty important.

In other words, the very best two-pieces in the industry's history have generally been comprised of wrestlers who share one or preferably four or five mutual characteristics. A matching attire is a good place to start, but move-sets and even personalities are good too.

That said, we can't always be so lucky. Several of WWE's tag teams over recent years - including its current champions over on Monday Night Raw - have instead been made up of two singles competitors who were one day randomly thrown together because they had nothing better to do.

Whenever this happens, you are bound to hear one or two complaints about how it makes a mockery of the entire division, and perhaps there's truth in that. But sometimes - in cases where the random duo in question with time begin to resemble a genuine tag team - those traditionalists are left eating their words.

Here are 10 thrown together duos who were, all things considered, actually pretty good.

It's the WWE Universe who should take the credit for throwing fellow seven-foot monsters Kane and Big Show together in 2005 (presuming you believe the online polls we are encouraged to partake in are actually 100% democratic anyway).

They were thrust into an unholy alliance at Taboo Tuesday when, after neither of them were voted into the WWE Championship main event with John Cena, they were instead put in a tag team bout against Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch.

Naturally, the two former world champs made short work of their opponents, winning the Raw tag straps in just eight minutes to set up a title reign that would last well into the following year.

Things between them were going swimmingly right up until the moment someone decided to bring up 19 May, a date whose mention caused The Big Red Machine to become uncontrollably angry (or at least it did for the few weeks that he was promoting his movie, See No Evil, in 2006).
