7 Times New Versions Of Wrestling Tag Teams Sucked

1. LOD 2.0

If WWE wanted to pay tribute to the deceased Road Warrior Hawk, there were likely over a million different ways they could have done it without resorting to making the ill-fated John Heidenreich an 'official' member of the Legion Of Doom. Heidenreich had struggled to really live up to the expectations of the company as a top heel, so obviously it made sense to have him replace Hawk and start teaming with Animal in this 'new' LOD, right? Wrong, very wrong, but that's exactly what happened in 2005. The duo even won the WWE Tag-Team Titles at The Great American Bash Pay-Per-View, a win Animal dedicated to his fallen longtime partner, Hawk. Sadly, even though fans really tried to like this new pairing (mainly because people were desperate to cheer for the Legion Of Doom gimmick again), it fell more than a little flat from the off. Lasting less than a year, but long enough that fans were sick of it by the time it did end, LOD 2.0 has to rank as the absolute worst 'new' version of any tag-team that the WWF/WWE have tried to present to their audience. Sure, when Darren Drozdov joined the group in the late-90's, it wasn't a hit, but Heidenreich was simply awkward in the role. Even changing his appearance to better fit in with the gimmick didn't help, and this is a sorry chapter in the history of The Road Warriors. What other 'new' versions of famous tag-teams can you think of which fans hated? Do you remember any of the ones listed here? Let us know down in the comments section below!
