#2 Team Hell No
Kane is a legendary big man that’s had some colourful tag team partners over the years. The Hurricane, Mankind and Rob Van Dam are just three of the Superstars that have stepped up to aid The Big Red Machine in various storylines.
But when Daniel Bryan was put with Kane, many fans shook their heads. This was obviously nothing more than a way to give both men something to do because there just wasn’t a plan for them individually. Once again, WWE had created a tag team where one didn’t need to be in the first place.
However, there was something about Bryan that fans couldn’t get enough of. Those that knew his background on the independent circuit respected him, while those that didn’t were impressed by his ring work. But more importantly, he was also becoming known as an entertainer.
Bryan was an annoying neurotic fool that dared fans to laugh. Every time he lost his temper and blew a fuse during a promo or a match, fans popped. Bryan’s anger management issues got him over despite WWE’s lack of creative direction for him. He made his own way, and Kane helped.
Kane somehow became the perfect tag team partner for Bryan. The two meshed well together, and to watch them on TV was to watch comedy gold every week. The fans went along for the ride, and Team Hell No became the hottest act in WWE.
Instead of merely taking up space, Team Hell No became the main event. Rather than just give Bryan the rub, Kane reminded everyone of just how good he is. Daniel proved he had what it takes to make it on a very high level in WWE, and the partnership led him to a massively successful singles career.
Team Hell No had their issues, but they had no issue getting over.
