The Most Useless Tag Team or Stable Ever?

There's some real lower card teams that were awful. Some have been mentioned like Well Dunn and Tekno Team 2000.

 

But there's always:

The Ding Dongs

The Master Blasters

The Super Destroyers

Disorderly Conduct

State Patrol

 

But I always couldn't stand The Bolsheviks. Volkoff's awful punches and kicks and Zhukov's giant head. Can't believe they put them over the Bulldogs when the Bulldogs were in their way out. Surely there was a better team to give that rub to. And why put Slick with them?

 

State Patrol were pretty great!

A lot of the short lived teams are easily forgettable, among the god awful pairings, the heartthrobs, the dicks, the gynimi, the highlanders, KC James & Idol Stevens, Deuce & Domino (and they even put the belts on them!) and let's not ever forget Big John Heidenreich taking a facepaint covered dump all over the memory of Roadwarrior Hawk and forming the crappy L.O.D ripoff with Animal.

 

Another extremely short lived team (at least in wwf) is the Squat Team, two twin barrel bottomed weebles who debuted at the 96 Rumble to absolute crickets, this oh so dominant team displayed their awesome power by getting smashed to buggery by Vader, experiment well and truly canned..that is until some bright spark decided that what the attitude era was clearly lacking was twin barrel bottomed weebles and thus on a random episode of Raw in 1997 the Arabian Butchers would wobble (but not fall down) to the ring to once again display their awesome power...by promptly getting press slammed by Davey Boy Smith presumably into some shitehawk indy fed never to be seen again on WWF Tv, if you've never seen these two just imagine a real life version of Pop up Pirate, but less imposing.

The Headhunters - yeah, you'd have thought with Vince's penchant for fat fucks at one point they'd have gone down a storm but no way was any WWF guy going to let them moonsault them and they weren't going to be allowed to bleed everywhere so that was them screwed from the start.

Even when they showed up in ECW where negatives are somewhat hidden they were useless lumps then as well.

Pablo Marquez agreeing to almost literally be squashed by them on one show made them look like bad-asses but other than that the most I have enjoyed them was when ICP repeatedly called them 'fat fucks' on StrangleMania.

Spirit Squad - they were just bollocks

Head Cheese - even though i loved the gimmick, Al Snow and Steve Blackman just couldn't do it for anyone.

 

Fuck you!!!! Head Cheese had some really entertaining moments . . . sorry about the 'Fuck You!' that was uncalled for . . .

16 years on and head cheese still remembered fondly, no place in a list like this

 

 

I even enjoyed Al trying to be more like Blackman.

Loved Head cheese great team! Lo down with Tiger Ali Singh were pretty useless in fact they were dire! in WCW terrible teams like Fire and Ice, the Kole Twins and Harlem Heat 2000 Fat Arhmed Johnson and Clarence Mason give me strength

Mexican America. What a load of old shite they were.

 

Was this the very short lived Swagger & Del Rio combo with Zeb or was there something similar before?

 

If its the above, then what a terribly short lived storyline, two weeks wasn't it?

I'm going to go for a team that had enormous potential, but ended up as a massive letdown and finishing with a whimper - Rated RKO.

 

It all started so well, The Cutting Edge, a justified reason to start a feud with DX. A couple of weeks later, they're tag champs.

 

Then, like Hunter's quad executing a spine-buster, it all fell apart.

 

Survivor Series - they lose in a 10 man elimination match which is over-shadowed by CM Punk being cheered for more than DX. Royal Rumble - Hunter blows his quad, stopping that run in the first proper tag match between them. Mania - Edge injures himself and both make up the numbers in the MITB match, in which Edge gets half-killed by Jeff Hardy. They even contrive to lose a 2-v-1 handicap match against Shawn along the way, dropping the tag titles as part of a run to try and get people interested in Cena vs Michaels.

 

A few weeks later, Edge cashes in the MITB from Kennedy and gets drafted to Smackdown. And that pretty much ended Rated RKO, save the occasional team up over the years.

 

Rated RKO - a run of no-decisions, injuries, handicap losses, throw in a tag title that they defended once in the 'quad match'. A worthy shout for the most useless tag team - a team who could have been so, so much more than they actually were.

It was the Hernandez/ Anarquia (sp?) tag team/stable in TNA I was referring to but the Swagger/Del Rio Mexamerica was equally as bad. Like you say, a couple of weeks of teaming and then...... nothing. Although, it did feature Zeb on a mobility scooter so every cloud and all that.

Del Rio and Swagger were feuding not teaming but yeah that whole thing was dreadful. Zeb trying his damnedest to get heat on it in Manchester was pretty funny tho.

Nah! My memory is surprisingly fresh. Swagger turned up after a huge amount of time in the dark not long after Del Rio returned and had a few words with Zeb and they then feuded over the US title in a "chairs" match

 

Unless you're talking about something prior to 2015, that may well have happened as I wasn't watching.
