Over the years there have been some incredible tag teams in the WWE, and some of the most original gimmicks, from The Legion of Doom with their futuristic armour and ferocious face paint, to the Dudley Boyz and their unusual family relationship, and even the financial based Money Inc - all had terrific gimmicks. A good gimmick can make the world of difference when trying to make it big in the WWE; just ask The Ringmaster, who after a hair cut and a new gimmick as a rebellious bad-ass called Stone Cold Steve Austin became one of the biggest stars sports entertainment had ever seen. Unfortunately for some, like the 13 tag teams listed here, not everyone was given great gimmicks, and had to suffer the ignominy of being saddled with frankly terrible gimmicks that any talents would have struggled to get over. The teams collected here are 13 most ridiculous, embarrassing, and sometimes offensive gimmicks in the history of WWE tag teams. Some of these teams are famous Tag Team Champions, others came and went without making much impact, leaving only a memory of their ridiculous gimmicks, but all are united by their silliness and by the fact that they all wrestled in the WWE together. At this stage to include all the craziness on WCW, ECW and the NWA would be too much for any soul to endure.
13. High Energy
High Energy were not the longest serving tag team on the roster, but in their short time together they proved to have one of the worst gimmicks. The gimmicked teamed a young Owen Hart, who had not yet achieved an awful lot in the WWE, having recently stopped teaming with his real life brother-in-law Jim Neidhart, with Koko B. Ware, who was floundering with nothing much to do, having been a constant part of WWE's mid-card. The WWF applied the same logic as a six year old pushing his cat and dog together and hoping for a new super pet, and just smashed these two stars into a new tag team without really knowing the best way to manage it. It's not always a bad idea to help two singles wrestlers get over by placing them in a team, but it is a bad idea to make these wrestlers wear such hideous baggy trousers and chequerboard braces. High Energy looked plainly ridiculous, and were somewhat understandably never really given a run to try and prove that there were competent performers behind those horrendous outfits. This would prove to be Koko's last run in the company, which is a terrible final chapter for the Hall Of Famer to have on his WWE career, though luckily Owen did manage to leave this gimmick behind him and had some success in the WWE, (though probably not as much as he deserved )before his tragic death in '99.
