The Simon System works I tell you! Well, for a hot moment it seemed as if the system had finally found someone to back it, as Simon Dean and Maven came together to form a tag team in early 2005. Dean had been a part of WWE TV since the year prior and wasn't making much headway as an obnoxious health obsessed heel.

Maven was the winner of the very first Tough Enough, and outside of getting the best of The Undertaker on a frequent basis hadn't really achieved much else. He turned heel towards the end of 2004, and joined up with Dean after losing quickly to Shelton Benjamin on a number of occasions.

The duo were jobbers for their run, before splitting when Dean was drafted to SmackDown and Maven was released. This team had some potential, but maybe that is merely nostalgia.
