Wrestling history is littered with "other guys," performers who thrived as part of a tag team largely because there was someone much more charismatic or technically proficient carrying them past the finish line each night. When they attempted to branch out on their own into the unforgiving singles landscape, they failed to capture the imagination of the fans in the same way they did with their teammates.
