20 Obscure WWE Tag Teams You Totally Don't Remember

6. The Pitbulls

Best known for their run in ECW, the original Pitbulls were a moderately successful tag team throughout the 1990s. Gary Wolfe and Anthony Duarte started life in WWE before transitioning to ECW in 1992, and engaged in a series of intense feuds with teams like The Eiminators and The Gangstas. They were one-time ECW Tag Team Champions by the time their run ended, and while never the flashiest in the ring, The Pitbulls were a solid couple of brawlers who at least knew how to put a match together.

Bizarrely, WWE decided to resurrect the gimmick in 2006. Wolfe & Duarte made only a handful of WWE appearances throughout their careers, but that didn't stop Vince McMahon from swiping their team's name and giving it to Jamie Noble and Kid Kash.

The imitation went further than that, though. Kash & Noble took every aspect of The Pitbull's old gimmick, dog collars and all, and tried to make them their own. The results? Four months of complete mediocrity, ultimately ending when Kash was fired for attitude problems that September. Of all the tag teams WWE have attempted to resurrect over the years, The Pitbulls might be the most forgettable.
