10 Wrestling Tag Teams That Should Never Have Split

7. The World's Greatest Tag-Team

Aside from superior microphone skills, the ultra-athletic Shelton Benjamin had every tool necessary to make a splash on his own in WWE upon being drafted to Monday Night Raw in 2004. His split from regular partner Charlie Haas didn't work out at all though, and the removal of one man from the other's side revealed weaknesses hidden as a unit.

Although Benjamin did win several singles titles, he wouldn't become any bigger of a star flying solo than he had been as one half of WWE's top tag-team.

Introduced in 2002 as Team Angle, Haas and Benjamin would go on to re-dub themselves as The World's Greatest Tag-Team. That name was proven true through endlessly brilliant in-ring performances against everyone from Los Guerreros to The APA.

The alliance with Angle did have a limited shelf-life, that can't be denied, but WWE should have realised that both OVW graduates were much more effective together than they ever were apart. A reunion years later in Ring Of Honor proved that WWE were wrong to separate Benjamin and Haas.
