Sweet lord, a list from worst to best that sees R-Truth above CM Punk and Rey Mysterio? There's not really any way that anybody can argue either, as Truth and Kingston had an immensely successful summer of tagging in 2012. In fact, their 71% win percentage on TV represents the highest of any established partnership Kofi has had.

But did they ever truly feel like a team? They never seemed to have any great chemistry or continuity, and their entire partnership felt like something of a step down for Kingston and a step up for Truth, It was around this time that it became clear that the days of hoping for a main event Kofi singles push were over too.

Still, they won tag gold by defeating Prime & Epico (aka Los Matadores aka Shining Stars) and they successfully defended the straps against such teams as Dolph Ziggler & Jack Swagger, JTG & Michael McGillicutty, The Prime Time Players, Camacho & Hunico and Antonio Cesaro & The Miz. The 2012 tag division was a bleak place.

Their run wouldn't last forever however, and a dysfunctional Team Hell No defeated them for the titles at Night of Champions 2012.
