Don't worry, folks, you're not suddenly not remember William Regal and Jonathan Coachman's legendary World Tag Team Title run. The Coach was actually subbing for Regal's regular partner Eugene, who had went down with a ruptured patella tendon six days earlier at the New Year's Revolution pay-per-view.

When the diagnosis came back and it was obvious that Eugene would miss significant ring time, WWE made the call to switch the belts to La Resistance (Rob Conway & Sylvain Grenier).

According to reports of the show, Regal never once tagged the devious Coach in and went down swinging on his own. Considering that the show was taken place in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, odds are that some popped for the win of French-Canadian Grenier.

La Resistance dropped the straps back to Regal and his new partner Tajiri on the February 7th episode of Raw, which hailed from Tokyo, Japan.
