10 Simple Ideas From The Past That Would Save WWE In The Present

Flinging two singles wrestlers together and strapping gold around their waists does not a strong tag division make. Sure, it guarantees screen time for talent such as Mandy Rose, Shayna Baszler and Robert Roode, but it just highlights the fact that WWE don’t really know what to do with these particular individuals (as well as committing the cardinal sin of burgling us of Roode's entrance theme.)

Add to that the bizarre decisions to split established tag teams such as The IIconics and Heavy Machinery, to no tangible result, and you’ve got yourself a conundrum, my friend.

Way back when, a tag team could easily main event a show and you wouldn’t lose a single viewer. Just go back and watch The Road Warriors feud with The Steiners and The Four Horsemen in WCW, and you can see how creative booking and protecting your stars can make for the most electrifying show. Similarly, the mind-blowing programs between The Hardyz, The Dudleyz, and Edge and Christian made for some of the most iconic matches of all time, and all that with an already stacked tag team shelf including the likes of The New Age Outlaws, and APA.
