10 Wrestling Tag Teams That Were Never Going To Work

4. The Ding Dongs

The only saving grace of The Ding Dongs was that we couldn’t see their faces, so the wrestlers themselves would be able to live their lives away from wrestling without shame.

The Ding Dongs were one of the weirdest, and somehow laziest gimmicks to ever hit professional wrestling. Their names? Ding Dong 1 and Ding Dong 2. Where were they from? Bellville. They were masked wrestlers whose entire act was that they ding’d and dong’d to the ring, and in their matches, because they had bells on them. That was it.

When they wrestled, you’d hear those bells go off constantly, which was more annoying than fun. To make it even worse, they also had a bell by the tag rope that they constantly rang. Now, did management (this was supposedly a Jim Herd idea) ever think for a moment about the upside for these two? Can you ever imagine them breaking apart and someday Ding Dong 2 main-eventing pay-per-views?

It was an idea that could be used one night as a joke, but it somehow survived as a full-time act until the dong who came up with it realized the gimmick had lost its ding.
