10 Wrestling Tag Teams That Got The WORST Gimmicks After Splitting

4. The Dancing Fools/Boogie Knights

So hot were Disco Inferno and Alex Wright as a unit that WCW chiefs couldn't help but unite them twice during the 90s. That's a joke, obviously. As both The Dancing Fools and The Boogie Knights, Disco and 'Das Wunderkind' were a mid-level tag-team at best.

Little did anyone know that worse was to come.

In late-1999/early-2000, the company turned Inferno into a cheap knock-off of R&B artist Sisqó and changed his name to 'Disqo'. God only knows why they didn't include the accent above the 'o' however. Perhaps they couldn't figure out how to do that when typing out format sheets, and so left it out. Would anyone really be surprised if that was true?

Wright left his dancing days behind in 1999 to become an industrially dark character called Berlyn. Their intentional misspelling of the German city was made even less fun when WCW introduced his bodyguard as 'The Wall'. Berlin Wall - get it? How clever.
