10 Thrown Together WWE Tag Teams That Didn't Really Work

In 2010, Mark Henry was seemingly in the twilight of his career. His various singles runs had never amounted to much outside of comedy, and he was all but resigned to taking part in thrown together tag teams until his inevitable retirement. In 2009 he formed a fairly cohesive team with MVP, although this was arguably more memorable for Henry's gear-change to resemble Kool-Aid Man.

After the MVP team ended, Henry inexplicably moved into a team with Evan Bourne. The pairing came out of nowhere, wasn't put together in any segment and was very much a 'two singles guys pairing together on a house show' sort of deal. It made no sense, and aside from giving Bourne a big guy to jump off with flips there wasn't much to the team either.

The team ended when Bourne got injured, and Henry's next random tag partner was Yoshi Tatsu of all people. Maybe it was all of these nonsensical pairings that eventually led to the Hall of Pain.
