10 Wrestling Tag Teams That Were Never Going To Work
3. The Heart Throbs
If you heard of a team named “The Heart Throbs” you may assume the duo may possibly be like Rick Rude in the late ‘80s, or perhaps something like Shawn Michaels during his early heel run. You know, two good looking dudes who rile up the audience because they can get all the girls? But what we got were two over-the-top obnoxious idiots dancing to the ring. It took about four seconds to realize they were living a dead gimmick.
When WWE brings in a new tag team, they usually let them go undefeated for a few weeks to help establish themselves as credible contenders in the division. Antonio and Romeo, though, ended up losing to William Regal and Tajiri in their first night in, and then lost in their first pay-per-view match at Backlash 2005. It seems even Vince knew he created something he never should have.
The Throbs were just a lazy, weird, bad thing. They wore pink robes, they had dance music, they then danced to that music and were basically a lazy version of Billy and Chuck...who had broken up in 2002. It was a feeling of “Didn’t we just do this?”
In total, The Throbs lasted 10 months in the company before having their hearts broken and being asked to leave. At least they weren’t as bad as their SmackDown counterparts...
