7 Times Triple H Buried WWE's Tag Team Division

1. The Entire RAW Tag Team Division - 2006

Go big or go home.

In 2006, WWE's Tag Team landscape was as depressing and barren as it gets, resembling the dystopian wilderness of George Bone's reality in 'Hangover Square'. There were barely any teams - and the ones they had were either thrown together or belittled consistently. The glory days of Edge & Christian, The Dudleyz and The Hardyz were a distant memory just five years after their genre-defining TLC bouts.

The lowest point for the division arguably came at the start of an episode of RAW in October 2006. The show took place two weeks after D-Generation X defeated The McMahons and Big Show inside Hell in a Cell, with Vince and Shane still away from TV selling the beatings. As HBK and Hunter gloated about their success, Executive Assistant Jonathan Coachman came out to inform the duo that they would be taking part in a a six-on-two Tornado Tag Team match.

To make that clear, that means that six men (three teams) would be going up against Hunter and Michaels, with everything legal and all men allowed in at once. DX didn't stand a chance, right?

Wrong. Cade & Murdoch, The Highlanders and Charlie Haas & Viscera were the opponents - but they may as well have been a collection of Putty Patrollers from the early days of the Power Rangers. The six men flew around the ring like a bunch of goofs as Hunter and HBK took control of what was a constant comedy of couples errors.

After clearing the ring, Michaels hit Haas with Sweet Chin Music (which strangely never knocked anyone down during this D-Generation X run), before Hunter finished the job with the Pedigree, defeating pretty much the entire RAW tag team division in just a couple of minutes.

Things may have changed, and Triple H may indeed love tag team wrestling in 2017, but fans of The Revival and #DIY should take note; handicap matches may well be waiting on the main roster.
