...even if former WWE Tag Team Champions Strike Force weren't long for it. It may have been 1989, but they were never ever ever getting back together.
Taken to school by the brutal Brain Busters as their relationship collapsed, Tito Santana and Rick Martel had barely reunited before the future 'Model' left his eternal babyface parter in a Spike Piledriver-shaped pile of sh*t.
