10 WWE Tag Team Champions You Definitely Forgot About
3. Kenzo Suzuki And René Duprée
In 2004, Kenzo Suzuki was scheduled to grace our screens as Hirohito, an anti-American heel that loved Japan so much he just had to come to The States as a not very good wrestler. Quickly after, he was saddled with a comedy karaoke-type gimmick. Honest. It was on a par with what happened to all Japanese superstars before him in WWE. They became a joke.
Despite being greener than green, René Duprée looked like he had an upside in 2003 - a young stud in a surprisingly over La Résistance tag team who held the titles and generated decent heat. His title victory at just 19 years old makes him the youngest holder of any WWE championship (we don't count Nicholas do we?) He branched out alone in 2004 but was floundering within months.
So why not put them together. Both are foreign, after all. They were a depressingly uninspiring duo that still held the WWE Tag Team Championships for almost three months.
By 2005 Suzuki was gone and Duprée was a Velocity regular. Sayōnara and au revoir.
