5 Dumbest WWE tag team names


When you give teams and stables bad names, of course, the fans aren’t going to give a damn.

#2 The Shining Stars

What’s wrong with making them two wrestlers that happen to be Puerto Rican?

There might not be a single team in WWE that has been repackaged more times than Primo and Epico. For some strange reason, Vince McMahon and his Criminal Creative Committee think that if they take two guys and repackage them under a new gimmick, we, as fans, will treat this as something new and exciting. Too bad for them that the fans aren’t as stupid as they think, which is why every gimmick these two have tried to get over has failed spectacularly.

None of them was worse than the Shining Stars. This name, which also happened to be the name of their finisher (wow, that’s some excellent writing there, WWE), was not based on their own wrestling abilities or any personality traits they might’ve had (because neither one of them thought it was a good idea to say, ‘I’m such a good wrestler that I’m a shining star in the night’. At least that would’ve gotten them some attention.)

Instead, their team name was based on being from Puerto Rico, which they called ‘the Shining Star of the Caribbean’. So, basically, they were wrestling travel agents that sold timeshares to Puerto Rico.

Really makes you want to watch them, doesn’t it?
