10 Wrestling Tag Teams That Should Never Have Split

2. The New Age Outlaws

In similar fashion to Steve Austin and Brian Pillman, the tag-team of Billy Gunn and Road Dogg was only formed due to creative having nothing for either man individually.

Toiling horribly in a feud against one another, the then-Rockabilly and 'Real Double J' Jesse James agreed to put their differences aside and align; this came at the expense of The Honky Tonk Man, who had up until that point been working as Billy's manager.

Dubbing themselves The New Age Outlaws, the heel tandem went on rants against older teams like The Legion Of Doom and eventually joined D-Generation X shortly after WrestleMania XIV. This led to a successful period for the team, one which was briefly interrupted by Gunn's tryout as a main eventer in 1999.

Following that hiccup, The Outlaws once again teamed together until Billy was kicked out of DX in early-2000. The fresh, hip aura of both guys diminished after this and they'd never recapture the same magic even when reuniting in 2014.

The saccharine team Dogg formed with K-Kwik afterwards and Billy Gunn's boring 'The One' gimmick showed why WWE had to keep The New Age Outlaws together. Individually, they struggled, but together they were dynamic.
