Everybody who lived through it remembers the brilliance of Kane and Daniel Bryan as Team Hell No, but can you recall who the little and large combo defeated to become WWE Tag Champs? It wasn't Air Boom, it was Truth Boom, a name we've totally just made up because the team of R-Truth and Kofi Kingston didn't have one.

Evan Bourne's Wellness Policy violation in January, 2012 couldn't have come at a worse time. He and Kingston had become a solid tag team as Air Boom, and looked like one WWE could rely on for the rest of the year. That all changed when Bourne was suspended. Poor Kofi was left to align with R-Truth and had one of the most forgettable tag title reigns in recent memory.

If you can believe it, Truth and Kofi held the belts for 139 days solid from April 30 until September 16 of that year. Throwaway matches against Jack Swagger and Dolph Ziggler at Over The Limit and The Prime Time Players at SummerSlam were mercifully followed by that Team Hell No win at Night Of Champions.
