Starting in January of 1999, WCW went absolutely insane with their tag team titles. In that year alone, the belts switched hands an astounding 18 times. In 2000, they changed 18 times again. There are plenty of teams here that could qualify as the worst, but let's go with Creative Control. Their first run with the gold lasted 15 days (which was a fairly lengthy run during that time), and their second go around lasted one day. They beat The Mamalukes at a house show in Germany, and then dropped the titles back the next day. Surprisingly, it didn't make international news. So what made these guys so bad? For starters, they were the former D.O.A. in the WWF, which had to have been one of the least exciting jumps in the entire Monday Night War. Second, their gimmick was an awful, insider act that maybe 2% of the audience understood. You see, Vince Russo had creative control when he jumped to WCW, so he named a team after that fact. Does that make any sense to anyone?
As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
