10 Things WWE Did Better Before RAW

The tag-team division has seen its ups and downs since the move to Mondays, from New Blackjacks to TLC specialists to duos whose only common thread is a catchy team name.

The best years for traditional tag teams were the days of the Hart Foundation, Demolition and The Rockers. Teams shared themes, attires and entrance music, and most couldn’t exist without a two-man trademark move.

With more frequent programming comes the need to shake things up on a constant basis, and with the constant making and breaking of alliances, the law of team uniformity becomes totally optional.

True to the kayfabe environment, two-man gimmicks hit a high note through the first half-dozen WrestleManias or so, when a kickoff match between the Rockers and Rougeaus was a crackler. The tag division had so much more meat on its bones, even lesser pairings like Power and Glory would have been a welcome sight at various points in subsequent years.
