3. Ric Flair And Roddy Piper Win The Tag Team Titles
There have been intermittent attempts by WWE to create a worthwhile tag team division. Vince McMahon isn't a fan of tag team wrestling and doesn't believe it can draw. Still, tag team wrestling is a thing and Vince has always had decent tag teams on his roster. A card full of singles matches would be pretty boring, wouldn't it? The mid-2000s was a pretty poor time for the tag team division, with the likes of Kenzo Suzuki & Rene Dupree and Deuce and Domino having Tag Team Championship reigns. These were guys who were not only not ready for the big show, but were also saddles with anachronistic gimmicks. As bad as there were, they were still better than Ric Flair and Roddy Piper as World Tag Team Champions. Hey, Ric Flair and Roddy Piper are both Hall of Famers and true legends in their own right. But in 2006 they had a combined age of over 100. They defeated the Spirit Squad in a poor match at Cyber Sunday on November 5th. A week later, Piper was flown home from a UK tour to check out what was originally believed to be kidney stones, then a disc issue but was finally revealed to be cancer. Flair and Piper's reign only last seven days and their win did produce the expected nostalgia pop, but it was another blow to the credibility of the tag division.
