What on earth possessed the WWE to give the completely over-the-hill Nasty Boys a tryout in 2007? They were totally out-of-shape, even more so than during their initial WWE and WCW runs and hadn't been relevant in years. Clearly, they had friends in high places. Or, more likely, WWE put them on the bill to warm up their hometown Florida crowd before the TV tapings because despite being completely crap, they still got a reaction. Brian Knobbs and Jerry Saggs worked a dark match against Drew McIntyre and Dave Taylor at the November 20th Smackdown/ECW tapings. How did it go? In a word, bad. Apparently offended at being asked to work a non-televised match, they worked excessively stiff with their opponents, played to the crowd far too much and ignored road agents' instructions in protest. When they were co-operating, they looked lousy. So WWE didn't sign the former WWE and WCW Tag Champs to contracts. It's incredible that they even flirted with the idea in the first place.
