10 WWE Superstars That Would've Thrived In The Hulkamania Era

Along with the women, tag teams were a major attraction in the Hulkamania era, and it was during this period of time that some of the greatest tandems in WWE history rose to prominence. The British Bulldogs, the Hart Foundation, Demolition, and The Rockers are just a handful of teams from this era that fans will remember forever. The division slipped during the New Generation before seeing a resurgence in time for the Attitude era, but no matter the generation, The Usos would've found success.

As second-generation superstars, and identical twins, Jimmy and Jey Uso have pro wrestling in their blood. Their current personas as tweener Tag Team Champions has been a nice reinvention of their team, but The Usos would've thrived in the Hulkamania era as either babyfaces or heels. They'd probably get a chance to do both.

Samoans were mostly presented as savage beasts during and prior to (hell, and after) the Hulkamania era, so The Usos' initial run might've mirrored the old tandem of the Bobby Heenan-led Islanders before turning babyface and donning the bright colors and facepaint.

As babyfaces or heels, The Usos would've been champions in any era, but especially in the golden age of tag team wrestling.
