10 Tag Team Wrestlers Who Left Their Partner For Better Things

9. Ron Simmons

Tag Team: Doom Doom were a very powerful and physically strong tag team that genuinely seemed hard as nails. You know when you see someone else take a hit and the idea of the intense level of pain makes you wince? Well, in wrestling terms that was Doom. The Steiner Brothers versus Doom was a rivalry that made interesting viewing, it was essentially the equivalent of watching two sets of bulldozers trying to knock each other over. The pair held the WCW Tag Team Titles for a record 281 days, before eventually splitting and then feuding. It became clear instantly that Ron Simmons was the wrestler that WCW planned to focus their attention on; he got the better of his former tag team partner, before quickly turning his attention to the World Heavyweight Championship. Within the following year Simmons would go on to beat Vader and succeed in that goal. Unfortunately, around this time Butch Reed and WCW parted ways, with Reed spending the rest of his wrestling days on various low key organisations before retirement in 2002. Simmons moved over to the WWE in 1996, where he also would find himself predominantly working as a tag team wrestler and was inducted into the 2013 Hall of Fame by renowned WWE tag team partner, Bradshaw.
