10 WWE Tag Team Champions Less Worthy Than Nicholas
1. Shawn Michaels
Shawn Michaels might have a case for being the greatest all-round performer in WWE history, but his wanton disrespect for the tag team titles is fittingly heartbreaking. And that's ignoring DX's indefensible disrespect of the Spirit Squad.
'HBK' has picked his own interests over the prestigious doubles gold so often, it's quite astonishing the very idea of tag team wrestling didn't retire long before he did. After grafting his knackers off as a Rocker alongside Marty Jannetty throughout the 1980s and early-1990s, his first taste of tag gold went sour when he hurled the belt to the concrete following a breakdown in relations with partner Diesel in November 1994.
Less than a year later, he didn't put up much of a fight when President Gorilla Monsoon took his newly-won belt back on a technicality - certainly not as big as a one he did with Bret Hart backstage at a 1997 Raw taping that again saw him abandon his responsibilities to leave Stone Cold Steve Austin partner-less for weeks.
Even his hair follicles died harder than his old habits - Michaels was at it again in 2007. John Cena was his supposed ally this time, but the warring WrestleMania 23 main eventers lost their gold 24 hours removed from their 'Show Of Shows' showdown because 'The Showstopper' simply couldn't be a*sed with 'The Champ' any longer.
