I can think of lots of reasons to rebrand Epico and Primo, most notably "they were boring and heatless and going nowhere and when Creative wanted the tag titles to disappear for awhile and not have anyone notice or care they just let Epico and Primo have them."

I'm eagerly waiting for the angle that will make Sami start wearing a lucha mask.
CALLED IT!
I don't know that I've enjoyed eating crow more.

I don't think that's true at all, but even if it were: why? How many full-time main event level heels are there outside of Orton?
The Shield can turn on HHH and stay heel pretty easily.Where is all the "turn The Shield" talk coming from? Why would that make sense or be a good idea?

Bo's still terrible on the mic.

I got as far as "Sami Zayn turns heel" before deciding what a bad idea this is.It'd never happen, but think about Sami Zayn in that spot... I need a few minutes

Wouldn't really make sense to do it that way with the way he was put out (The Wyatts).I mean, they have to make his return to save Bryan, right? It really almost writes itself and that pop will be glorious.

"Rapid Delivery" Rory Fox?
Cagematch says he hasn't wrestled since 2010.

Skyler told Walt that Lydia had sent the Nazis to their home and threatened their children. Plenty of reason.

Except no Hogan version of nWo means no WCW ratings domination, and Vince doesn't have to counter with the Attitude Era stuff. Meaning no late 90's wrestling boom. Not for the best long term.Which long term, might have been for the best.
-
How do you figure? With no Hogan turn there's no mainstream impact and no wrestling boom.The nWo would have ended sooner, which would have been better in the long run.

They tried this briefly at the beginning of the brand split, but I think it was abandoned after not getting over so well. He ended up injured a couple of months later too as I recall.Are we entirely fucking done talking about Mick Foley yet?I really thought Bradshaw would be in line for a great singles run when they first did the brand split and Bradshaw was featured in the main event on that first brand split Raw. I thought for sure he would have an Austin-lite run, but there never seemed to be much interest in pushing him in that way.

http://culturecrossfire.com/wrestling/kayfabe-lies-and-alibis-nick-bockwinkel-shoot-interview/#.UkRFzD8iy2ABockwinkel tells an intriguing version of why Bruno hated Vince and hates on a bunch of legendary workers - along with some fun stories...
Bruno's distaste for how he and David were handled in the 80's is pretty well known.

If Los Matadores as currently advertised are an essential component for the future of tag team wrestling, we might as well just kill it now. The only way you could truly make tag team wrestling more important in WWE is to re-stock the division with proven main eventers kind of like they did during Jerishow's run.
The whole "detrimental effect on the business for two decades" thing is ridiculous hyperbole. The attitude boom was devoid of a decent tag scene until the tail end, and there were great tag scenes during the brand split that didn't have any appreciable effect on business. The tag team division is a midcard gimmick for midcarders in WWE. It's very useful for rounding out shows and getting a lot of guys their first break, and getting value out of guys that can't hack it at the upper midcard/main event singles level, but it's not a place you want guys to stay in forever. Eventually you have to see if your most over midcarders can take the next step, which involves splitting teams up. I'd happily endure the NAO and Dudley flame-out singles runs to ensure The Hart Foundation, The Rockers, The Steiners, Harlem Heat, The Hardys, E/C, etc didn't have to stay together forever. I'm not saying the Usos need to split up anytime soon. I'm saying if they stay over for a long period, it might be because they have some real charisma and that might translate to more value in a singles work. If it doesn't, the tag division will always be there waiting for them just like it was for The Dudleys.
All of these ideas are derived from the booking of the last 20 years that has instructed you that tag teams are a midcard attraction used as a launching pad for main eventers, and only deserve attention when two random main eventers are paired to squash the entire tag team division (who are supposed to be specialists at the style). It's bad booking, and if you want more of it, fine. But it's still bad booking.

Really don't think it's going to happen, nor should it.
"K.O." is the terrible pun you're missing (is that technically a pun?).
-
I think the Usos have singles potential. All you have to do is make sure they wear different color tights. Not that I think it should happen any time soon, but an amicable split that results them winning the IC and US titles around the same time seems like a pretty easy midcard angle to book. As much as people long for the good old days, tag team wrestling is a dead end in WWE, and both of those guys should at least get a shot at singles.
Just nonsense. The only reason either one should ever be pushed as a singles wrestler is if the other is injured or no longer with the company.
Why should I care about a tag team when they'll inevitably split up in a year?
This. Building up teams like the Usos or Los Matadores is the only way to get people to actually care about tag team wrestling. The prevailing attitude of "every team must split without exception" has had a detrimental effect on the business as a whole for two decades now, and I think Triple H is aware of that.
-
I don't see why anyone is talking about splitting up the Usos, it's a terrible idea. I think the notion that every team has to split up at some point is what's killed tag team wrestling over the last 20 years.

Isn't RVD supposed to be a stoned idiot, though? And yeah, as Gregg mentioned, he added some needed overness to that group of faces standing up to the Facgime.For what it's worth, I think RVD has looked a lot better in WWE than in TNA. And it's not that he missed the rolling thunder of the back flip, it's the idiocy of him even attempting the move.
-
They do this all the time. It's just that the matches don't matter.Why not showcase mid card guys in 10 minute matches against each other?
-
I'm not a Triple H hater, but DiBiase showing ass more often than once in a blue moon means he wins this.On one of his shoots Jim Cornette said Triple H is the guy who works with the guy who draws the money. Then I realized Million Dollar Man was basically that guy for the WWF working with Hogan, Savage and Warrior befoer leaving.So, politics and such aside, which guy was better at working with the draws and which guy would you rather have working with your top guy?

Typo for what? "Heer?" Sounds like I hit a nerve, ya big dumb fatty.
Clearly a typo, you lose a ton of points for a cheap shot that did little damage. You're probably the type that goes immediately to fat jokes unprovoked when arguing with an overweight person."He wasn't over.""WAS TOO!!!!"Now that is "shocking to here."

"He wasn't over."
"WAS TOO!!!!"
Now that is "shocking to here."
