10 Wrestling Tag Teams That Were Never Going To Work

2. The Dicks

In OVW, Tank Toland looked like a star in the making. He was a Tag Team Champion and then later captured their Heavyweight Title. In late 2005, he was got his big break and was called up to the WWE roster. You can imagine he called all his friends and family to watch him make his big debut on SmackDown. They likely asked what he was going to be doing. He would then have to tell them he asked to play a Dick. James Dick.

Along with his OVW tag partner, Chad Toland (who then became Chad Dick) he tried to take the WWE by storm as a male chippendale dancer. Yes, a chippendale dancer by day and a professional wrestler by night. Okay, so for a moment, let’s buy in and go with the story that they were born with the last name “Dick.” Why would that then automatically lead them to becoming strippers? Seems like a bit of a weird coincidence.

Well, The Dicks seemed to exist for the sole purpose of the announcers making penis puns throughout their matches, because that’s approximately 95% of Vince McMahon’s humor (the other 5% is short people).

In the end, The Dicks didn’t last too long, as they weren’t able to keep it up. They lasted just under four months before being released from their contracts.

At least those two weren’t asked to play actual dicks…

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
