It's floundering, tbh. One of the best tag teams going is finished (Rhodes Scholars that I mentioned earlier), and apart from them you have maybe 3, 4 half-decent tag teams. The current champions Daniel Bryan and Kane, who are both great wrestlers, are looking like they're going to split up too.

It's the worst I've seen it in a long time, to be honest.

I guess it probably has to do with the fact that the most money to be made is by solo runs so all the good wrestlers only get put into tag teams for limited times to get broken up when it's time for one of them to get pushed.

Pretty much. I've heard that HHH is trying to rebuild the tag division, but without at least 3-4 QUALITY tag teams, they're going to flounder.

For comparison, the Attitude Era had:

The Hardy Boyz (say what you want about them, they knew how to put on a show)
Edge and Christian (excellent workers, technically gifted)
The Dudleys (table matches are as popular as they are because of those guys)
Acolytes/APA (two top quality guys that were veterans in the business)

And that's just off the top of my head.

Now, you have:

Team Hell No (Kane and Bryan are very talented, but always shine individually and won't last much longer)
Primo and Epico (Meh)
Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara (Sin Cara botches so much it's not funny)
Prime Time Players (Decidedly average, but Titus O'Neill is a big, strong, capable guy, and would go far on his own)
Brodus Clay and Tensai (Right now my favourite team)

Losing Rhodes Scholars was a massive blow, tbh.

There also was the Steiner Bros, Harlem Heat, Legion of Doom, the Outsiders(Scott Hall and Kevin Nash). Some of those are strictly WCW but they were awesome.

I liked the Hary Boyz, and the Dudleys.

Yeah the team quality has gone down.

The only WCW i've seen is youtube videos, tbh. That, and the whole Invasion angle when they came to wwf.

Legion of Doom were awesome. Even going back, WWF has always had a strong tag division. The Rockers, The Hart Foundation, Killer Bees etc.

Yeah they did, I love good tag teams.

At least right now, the singles division is mostly excellent. There are plenty of guys who know how to put on a great match, and the roster now is better than it was in the days of Batista and the like.

Seriously; guys like Antonio Cesaro, Damien Sandow, Daniel Bryan, Alberto Del Rio, and Dolph "can sell ice to eskimos" Ziggler. There are more good wrestlers than bad ones by a decent way.

They don't care about tag teams. Jobbing PTP to Ryback & having Titus job to Awful Khali are dead giveaways.

Miz sucks. He's always ****ing up &/or injuring people. They want him to be like Flair but he can't even do a figure 4 right. LMFAO when Cesaro swung his head into the barrier over & over.

Shield are being ruined.

?

I also hope that Chris Jericho will win in the EC. Though I have my doubts.

I hate and I mean hate what is being done with Kane. He is no longer the big red monster. He is now a clown figure.

Khali has got to be THE WORST wrestler I have ever seen. It's like the guy can't hardly move in the ring. Mark Henry may not be all that great, but at least he has some type of moveset. Ugh Khali has got to go.

Ditto. Although I hate what's being done w/Dbry & Nattie more

I'm gonna be metapissed if HHH beats Brock

The Divas division in WWE is a joke plain and simple. Natalya should be used better.

Notice how Kofi Kingston is getting jobbed as of late. The dude is not winning a single match and Orton is losing alot as well it seems.

We may see Hunter vs Brock at WM it's obvious isn't it? I wonder who will be Taker's opponent if Brock fueds with Hunter.

Honesty I would rather have The Rock lose to Punk at EC so he won't lose to Cena at the biggest stage of the all....I have my fears.

There's been rumors that they wanted Taker to face Punk @WM. Taker may not be healthy enough for it tho. If Punk is ending the streak it's cool. I don't want him to be victimized by an old man who can barely move.

we're supposed to hear about taker on the upcoming raw, apparently. i hope he can make it.

a bunch of people are now saying that ziggler could cash in his mitb case at the del rio match, and jericho would win the chamber. that would set the two of them up for a wrestlemania showdown, which i have to admit, i would love to see.

not so great ppv...

That is why I no longer purchase any WWE ppv's. Only Mainia and that's it.

It was so bad.

The match order, first of all, was screwed up to hell. The heavyweight title first, and the divas match near the end, after the chamber AND the big tag match? Crap.

Chamber match was all right until the end. Swagger never should have won.

Rock and Punk was crap. I actually dozed off at one point.

Del Rio and Show was decent, but it's nothing we haven't seen half a dozen times already.

Cesaro and Miz was actually good, I thought. You felt like the two hated each other, and Miz continues to improve work wise.

Ziggler vs Kingston was probably the best match of the night, and it was nice to see Ziggler actually get a pin for once.

Geez that order that the matches happened is horrible. It seems like these ppv's are getting more expensive, plus like someone stated that there are countless ppv's as of late with no great build up.

I agree Swagger winning does not seem to promising for the heavyweight title match at Mania. Recall when Swagger was the champ at one time fueding with Big Show..his title reighn was HORRID.

Chris Jericho should have won. It's like every match Jericho has been in since his return, is to job plain and simple...sucks.

I really wanted Punk to win against Rock, so that we don't see Rock lose to John Cena at the grandest stage of them all. Though watching the beginning of Raw tonight, it could be a triple threat at Mania seeing as Cena is going to go against Punk next week on Raw to determine who will truly to go to Mania.

I can already predict that both Cena and Punk will somehow get a "double ko" in which the both will qualify to face Rock at Mania.

Jericho deserved to win, and should have won imo.

Rock is past it. At a certain point you could tell that his energy levels were completely gone. He's too old to wrestle the way he used to, and he's doing too many steroids and not enough cardio.

Hmm.
