35 Current WWE Stars And Their '90s Counterparts

Think back to mid-‘90s WWF. Billy Gunn had split from Smoking Gunns partner Bart and had been under the tutelage of the Honky Tonk Man as Rockabilly. Urgh. Jesse James had been Jeff Jarrett’s Roadie and had broken away from Double J before having the gimmick of a good ol’ country boy who sung himself to the ring. Double urgh. Two careers that were shortly to be future endeavoured, right? Instead, throw the two together and create one of the greatest tag teams in wrestling history.

Flip forward to a few years ago in NXT. There you’d find Colin Cassady struggling to find his voice as a giant of a man who had no direction, and you’d also find mile-a-minute Enzo Amore doing very little of note apart from talk a good fight. Put them together and you have a tag team that is ready to step up to the main roster and pick up where the New Age Outlaws left off, complete with chant-along catchphrases aplenty.

Like NAO, Enzo and Cass are a perfect fit together. Whereas Billy Gunn and Colin Cassady are the better workers of their respective teams, Road Dogg and Enzo are the mouthpieces who can hold their own in the ring.
