10 Greatest Tag-Teams WWE Missed Out On

Flying through the air off of ladders and crashing through tables, Edge & Christian, The Hardy Boyz and The Dudley Boyz made WWE's tag-team ranks awesome during the early years of the new millennium.

Stretching back long before that, teams like The British Bulldogs, Demolition, The Hart Foundation and The Rockers ensured the promotion had a healthy amount of tandem action. 

Emphasis on tag-team wrestling has fluctuated in WWE over the years, much to the chagrin of older viewers who recall all those amazing duos.

There have been literally hundreds of excellent tag-teams to pass through WWE, but what about those who missed the WWE net? Granted, some of the teams included here did appear a few times for the company, but they were nowhere near as successful as they had been or would be elsewhere.

Let's take a look at some teams who really could or should have been smash hits in WWE, but that Vince McMahon's organisation missed out on...

In 2009, Mark and Jay Briscoe had a tryout with WWE. During their short stay in the promotion, the brothers worked a match during a set of TV tapings, then received a look in with FCW. Eventually, officials told them that they didn't have the right look for WWE's product, meaning they weren't signed.

To anyone who has watched The Briscoe Brothers since they crashed onto the scene with Ring Of Honor in 2002, that was a mistake. Individually, Mark and Jay are wonderful performers, but together they must rank as one of the best brother tag-teams in the world. 

They're only so far down on this list because there's still a slight chance they could appear in WWE someday. Their rough-around-the-edges look is more compatible with WWE nowadays, especially on the NXT developmental brand. 

Overall, the company doesn't seem quite as frosty over different looks than they once were, but they definitely missed out on The Briscoes years ago. Right now, they seem fairly content in New Japan Pro Wrestling.
