10 MORE TERRIBLE Decisions We Have Made As The Authority Of WWE

8. Effectively Discontinued Tag Team Wrestling

We made amends on RAW this week, but for a good long while there, we sort of forgot that tag teams exist. And we'll doubtlessly forget again, because we are all erratic 73 year-old men.

You didn't like the Viking Experience name? F*ck you, you don't get to Experience any Vikings. Were you enthralled by Curt Hawkins finally snapping his losing streak (in a match that he probably didn't warrant)? Good! That was the story. We tell stories. You want an ending? Curt Hawkins lived happily ever after. F*ck off.

We split Chad Gable and Bobby/Robert Roode up. That is because we wanted to see Roode in a new singles role, and we also wanted to see Gable in a new singles role, in which he makes notes on how not to totally botch his singles role, like his old tag team partner, Bobby Roode, botched his.

We made a mistake during the Superstar Shake-Up by leaving SmackDown somewhat barren. Sh*t. The Daniel Bryan and Rowan team were joined only by Heavy Machinery, The Colóns, who we don't use, and Rusev and Shinsuke Nakamura, who we've stopped using. But it's fine; we addressed this using the aforementioned Wild Card rule. Only, we didn't; we used up the Wild Card allocation with acts from RAW's singles division. There is no actual allocation, granted, but it's OK.

We're hiring a new Continuity Script Supervisor to track our insane bullsh*t.
