10 WWE Tag Team Champions Less Worthy Than Nicholas
8. David Otunga & Michael McGillicutty
91 days.
David Otunga and Michael 'Curtis Axel' McGillicutty held WWE's only (at the time) Tag Team titles for just short of a hundred days. There's no more damning indictment on the state of the division at the time.
Don't believe me? Just ask WWE themselves!
Jerry Lawler was scripted to abuse the feckless friends for weeks just to build up a comedy match alongside Sheamus he actually won! The company have been thankfully toned down their intentional burials in recent years, but it was something of an epidemic back in the confused early part of the decade. Talent were arriving on the main roster woefully underprepared to perform upon it, and top-down bullying was somehow viewed as a shrewd tactical approach to helping them turn corners.
It was fatally flawed, of course. Virtually none of the half-drawn 'stars' that emerged from the period survived it, and those that did were forced to drastically overhaul themselves just to cling on to employment. Otunga and McGillicutty were two with the reverse midas touch, and their ugly bronze belts were reduced to an even lesser value in their ownership.
