It's well-established that Vince McMahon doesn't think much of tag team wrestling. Does he need it on his shows? Of course he does. A card full of singles matches would more than likely be a chore to sit through, and tag matches offer a different dynamic and, thus, a different way of entertaining the audience. Hey, they are an 'entertainment company' after all. But Vince doesn't have a fondness for tag wrestling because, it is suspected, that tag team wrestling doesn't draw the big money. No, in Vince's mind, only singles feuds and matches can draw real money. How many times have tag matches headlined WrestleMania? Exactly. But fans do love tag team matches and, more to the point, they love the tag teams themselves. Given the opportunity, a tag team can get over just as much (if not more) than a singles star receiving a similar push. Unfortunately, due to Vince's fickle personality, the odds of staying a team once you get over are pretty slim. See, if a tag team starts getting a big pop or generating huge heat, that's usually a sign that the member of that team with the most potential should be transferred to the singles ranks ASAP. We've seen it time and time again - a tag team works hard, gets over and then, before they have the opportunity to really hit their stride they're broken up and sent their separate ways. The following are eight instances of this, where I will explain why they were put together in the first place, how successful their run as a team was and, ultimately, why they were broken up when they were (if indeed there is a reason).
