10 WWE Tag Teams That Broke Up At The Best Time
7. Strike Force
Proper old school WWE booking that was simple in all the good ways instead of simple-minded in all the bad ones, the falling apart of former Tag Team Champions Strike Force was the sort of sh*t that once appeared so easy to the old white dudes booking the territory by Vince McMahon's swimming pool.
The team lit up 1987 and much of 1988 with their dynamic high flying ability and earnest white meat appeal, but an injury to Rick Martel left partner Tito Santana isolated until his return in time for a WrestleMania V battle with The Brain Busters.
Having already taken a pasting from Demolition when they first lost the doubles titles, the duo were already on borrowed time before Martel was shelved. But Santana (and indeed the audience) were permitted to think all was absolutely fine before Tully Blanchard and Arn Anderson decimated them on 'The Grandest Stage'.
A miscommunication in a match going wrong was the last straw for an indignant Martel. He left Santana to take the remainder of the pasting and literally never looked back, setting up house show matches between the pair seemingly for the rest of time.
