8 Wrestlers Who Surprisingly Never Held WWE Gold

The Spirit Squad, Ric Flair and Roddy Piper, Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch, Hardcore Holly and Cody Rhodes. These are some of the teams that held Raw's tag titles between 2006 and 2008, when Cryme Tyme - arguably WWE's most over two-piece at the time - didn't get a sniff of championship glory.

Some have suggested the company were reluctant to shine too much of the limelight on Shad and JTG, their thug gimmick being a potential source of controversy in the mainstream media. However, stereotypes are common-place on WWE TV, and if this was the case, why didn't they just can Cryme Tyme completely?

The truth is that it was probably just down to bad luck. The team really came into their own in 2008 when they alligned themselves with John Cena. It was around this time that WWE had thrown their lot behind Orton's Legacy protégés Rhodes and DiBiase, who would dominate the tag team division for most of the year.
