Well, not much (although they did debut as slaves in literal chains), but I did think this was some weird thing they kept going for 20 years, whereas other fake brothers have since dropped that kayfabe.
Wrasslin Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 What other fake brother teams are there? I can think off the top of my head Edge and Christian, Taker and Kane, Dudleys, The Bahsams, Major Brothers, The Beverly Brothers, Arn and Ole,
Keith Houchen Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 Godwins and the Hollys are the first ones to mind.

Though kind of let down by Bubba Ray's "thinks all black people are D-Von" run in the Royal Rumble that one time. 8 minutes ago, Wrasslin said: What other fake brother teams are there? I can think off the top of my head Edge and Christian, Taker and Kane, Dudleys, The Bahsams, Major Brothers, The Beverly Brothers, Arn and Ole, Smoking Gunns, Godwinns, Jules & Jay Strongbow, Gene & Ole Anderson even before Arn & Ole. There were loads back in the '70s and earlier, when wrestlers being related was quite often used as an easy way to introduce a new wrestler to the audience by associating them with someone the audience already knew (Ric Flair being introduced as a cousin of the Andersons, for example) - and I've read speculation before that a lot of teams were kayfabed as brothers to give a nice, wholesome explanation as to why two grown men would be so dependent on one another... 2 minutes ago, Keith Houchen said: Godwins and the Hollys are the first ones to mind. The Hollys were fake cousins!
Wrasslin Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 Ah man how did I forget the Smoking Guns!
Guest Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 It happens in music all the time too. The Righteous Brothers aren't brothers (which makes it a rather unrighteous claim to make), and the Lighthouse Family are unrelated and don't even live in a fucking lighthouse. It's all lies, all of it.
Wrasslin Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 That would be gimmick infringement on Round the Twist to be fair.

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted September 14, 2017 Paid Members Posted September 14, 2017 Who was the ginger ref in the opener at WCW Fall Brawl 2000? He's flinching at every move and strike. Really distracting. Don't rememeber seeing him before.

Keith Houchen Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 Personally, I'm having doubts about all the people Hulk Hogan has called a sibling over the years.
Pinc Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 The Valiant Brothers weren't real brothers were they?
