3. The Street Profits

The days of the Royal Rumble being a fun place for tag teams are long over. Saying that, WWE hasn't been a good place for tag teams since, what, the '80s? Sure, you can point to the Attitude Era, but WWE was always desperate to split Edge & Christian and The Hardy Boyz up, and I won't hear differently.

The Street Profits are one of the most exciting tag teams to come out of WWE in recent memory but that isn't going to help them when it comes to making Royal Rumble memories. It isn't difficult to imagine Montez Ford or Angelo Dawkins putting in excellent Rumble performances but you have to think that it'll take splitting the two up before that comes close to happening.

WWE isn't going to split up The Street Profits already, surely? I think not. Montez and Dawkins can expect a couple of years of winning and losing main roster tag team championships, feuding with the same handful of teams before eventually splitting up and being forced to decide between the Michaels route and the Jannetty route. Why does WWE hate tag teams so much?

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.
