WWE has long been criticized for its negligence in promoting tag team wrestling as an essential and integral part of its sports entertainment package. Despite the presence of excellent teams on today's WWE roster, the main event spots at major events are almost exclusively reserved for singles encounters.
To put things into perspective, WWE once allowed a child and Braun Strowman to win the tag team championships by defeating one of the most competent duos on the roster at the time.
Not every tag team in the history of WWE has been excellent and worthy of remembrance. For every Hardy Boyz, there were several flashes in the pan, some too dull or unremarkable to be recalled by the modern-day audience.
Some of these teams even went on to win the tag team championship on the main roster. Here is a list of five forgettable tag teams in WWE history.
#5 Former WWE Tag Team Champions Deuce 'n Domino (Deuce Shade and Dice Domino)
Deuce won a title in WWE, but he certainly did not accomplish as much as some other members of the Anoa'i Family. His championship glory came as part of Deuce 'n Domino, an unremarkable tag team that managed to win the titles from Paul London and Brian Kendrick.
Deuce Shade and Dice Domino were portrayed as characters lifted out of the 1950s greaser subculture, but they failed to create any connection with the spectators. They held the championship for nearly four months and had the honor of retaining the championship against Sgt Slaughter and Deuce's father Jimmy Snuka.
They suffered a fall down the card after their title run, split from their original manager and never managed to recover. Neither of the duo managed to last long in WWE after the split of the tag team.
#4 Slater-Gator (Heath Slater and WWE Hall of Famer Titus O'Neil)
Heath Slater's WWE career has seen him be part of numerous forgettable tag teams and factions that could fill the list by themselves. Slater-Gator is a typical Slater team. Forgettable and unsuccessful, it helped neither of the members to ascend to a better spot on the roster.
They chiefly wrestled on the B-shows, and on RAW, they even lost to the team of Adam Rose and The Bunny. Hornswoggle was chosen as the mascot of the team at one point, but he barely added prestige to the team.
WWE did not even try to create a storyline out of the dissolution of Slater-Gator. They quietly disbanded as O'Neil recreated The Prime Time Players.
#3 The Meta Powers (former WWE Intercontinental Champion Curtis Axel and Macho Mandow)
The Mega Powers was one of WWE's premiere tag teams at one point, and the company inevitably decided to create a parody. Curtis Axel played the role of Hulk Hogan and Macho Mandow was, well, 'Macho Man' Randy Savage.
They even went to the extent of replicating the iconic handshake that formed The Mega Powers. They primarily feuded with The Ascension, but the gimmick did not reach its full potential.
Hulk Hogan got into some highly publicized real-life trouble, and WWE decided to sever ties with him. Curtis Axel's Axelmania gimmick was soon discarded, and The Meta Powers came to an end.
#2 Well Dunn (Former WWE superstars Timothy Well and Steven Dunn)
WWE signed the Southern Rockers, a tag team with considerable success in Puerto Rico, and transformed them into Well Dunn, an uninspired name that failed to excite any fan.
Playing the role of narcissistic villains, they never succeeded in becoming a top tag team in the company. Both members of the team were decent wrestlers, but they never managed to usurp the tag team championships of the company.
They disappeared from WWE in 1995 and the tag team split after a tour of AJPW the following year.
#1 Gymini (Former WWE superstars Jake and Jesse)
Gymini was introduced as a pair of associates to Simon Dean. Dean portrayed a nutrition product salesman and the Shane twins were, in kayfabe, his satisfied customers. After a brief run on the main roster, the duo moved on to the developmentals. WWE released the twins in 2007.
But Gymini wasn't even the worst gimmick played by the talented Shane Twins. One of TNA's earliest failures saw the company having the twins appear at their first pay-per-view event as The Johnsons. Under the gimmick, the duo appeared dressed as male genitalia.
