WWE has an addiction. The company has heaps of problems, issues that range from terminal to trivial. Admittedly, the addiction in question likely falls under the latter heading, but that doesn't make it any less frustrating for fans.

WWE is addicting to breaking up perfectly serviceable tag teams and doing nothing with either wrestler.

Heavy Machinery isn't the only example of that addiction on this list. Tucker and Otis were doing a whole lot of nothing before coming together in 2016 but the partnership made sense from the get-go. How couldn't it? Two big dudes being big dudes. Such things never fail. It really seemed as though both men had found their role in WWE, which is impressive enough in itself.

Of course, that meant WWE had to split them up. Tucker turned on Otis and made himself comfortable in catering, save for a 38-second loss to Ricochet. To ram home just how bad that is, Ricochet hasn't won a singles match on RAW since, and that was six months ago.

The highlight of Tucker's WWE career was undoubtedly hanging out with Otis, eating obscene amounts of meat and throwing dudes around without a care in the world. In hindsight, ol' Tucky was living the dream.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
