10 Least Successful WWE Tag Teams Of The Last 20 Years

5. Animal & Droz

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7Lwto2fy3Q Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk were an awesome tag team. The same cannot be said for all of the variants - 1992-1995's Hell Raisers (Hawk & Power Warrior Kensuke Sasaki) or 2007's Hell Warriors (Animal Warrior & Power Warrior Kensuke Sasaki), 2005's Heidenreich & Animal or 1998's Droz & Animal. (With the exception of the lovely addition of Sunny, it's possible the whole "LOD 2000" should be added to this list of misfires.) When former NFL player Darren Drozdov originally joined the WWF he was called "Puke" - a nickname that fans of "Beyond the Mat" will always remember due to the footage of Vince McMahon screaming at Droz to "regurgitate on command" while meeting the wrestler in Titan Towers.

When the Road Warriors rejoined WWF in 1998 they appeared as "The Legion of Doom 2000" and added Sunny as their manager. Sunny was replaced with the debuting Droz/Puke and sparks flew when LOD's longtime manager Paul Ellering returned and immediately SWERVED the crowd by siding with challengers DOA (Disciples of Acocalypse). It was the era of Crash TV and nothing personified that more than when Road Warrior Hawk was protrayed as a suicidal alcoholic (willing to jump off the TitanTron) and Droz/Puke was brought in to replace him in the LOD team. As a six-man team (Droz, Animal, Hawk) were actually quite successful: they defeated DOA on 5/19/98 RAW, went to a no contest in a "six man Chicago Street Fight" in 6/1/98 RAW and won the six-man match against Skull, 8-Ball and manager Paul Elering at WWF In Your House 25 PPV. However, the duo of Droz & Animal proved far less capable. The two-man team racked up an dismal 1-10-1 record with the lone victory coming over Too Much (Brian Christopher & Scott Taylor in their pre-Too Cool phase). They lost matches to The Brothers of Destruction (Kane & Undertaker), The Acolytes (Bradshaw & Faarooq), The Brood (Edge & Gangrel), The Headbangers (Mosh & Thrasher), The Hardy Boyz (Jeff & Matt Hardy), The Oddities (Giant Silva & Kurrgan) and Kane & Mankind. I guess you could call a two-minute no contest with The New Age Outlaws (Billy Gunn & Road Dogg) on the 10/12/98 RAW a vast improvement. Ultimately, the Hawk suicide angle was dropped and LOD disappeared save for March 1999 and May 2003 one-off appearances to unsuccessfully challenge for the WWF Tag Titles. Droz moved on to his alliance with Prince Albert (which included a very short-lived Vic Grimes cameo as possible drug dealer "Key") before being tragically paralyzed in October 1999.
