9 Most Unremarkable WWE Tag Teams Of The Past Decade

Legacy was not a bad team at all. In fact, in 2008, they were quite good, holding the tag titles and showing up in many of WWE's major angles.

The idea of putting third generation stars together and making them a faction that touted how much more they deserved opportunities than those who didn't have the lineage was pure genius. Mentored by Randy Orton, this faction could have been outrageously successful and WWE had no excuse for the idea to fail. Yet, after just over a one-year run as verging heavy hitters, the team virtually disappeared.

It became quickly evident WWE was lost on where to go with the group when the company inexplicably had Orton act like his proteges never deserved the opportunities he was giving them. The storyline became both Rhodes and DiBiase having to constantly prove themselves in matches against each other. Eventually, the team broke up.

The fact WWE didn't see the potential in this group might be one of the more disappointing developments in the time span Legacy was around. Fortunately, only one in-ring career ended after the faction collapsed. Rhodes went on to establish himself as a singles competitor and a bigger star on the indie scene and Orton is still going strong.
