True, but there should be more emphasis on making tag teams, instead of singles performers. You have a GOAT tier roster of some of the best wrestlers to come out of indies and foreign promotions, but have them stuck in limbo. This is why a tag tournament or even a league should come into play so wrestlers can get a fair share of the time, along with adding something fresh and unique to the WWE Network.
I agree. Alot of stuff is messed up. Balor hasn't gotten a title shot...Bliss is champion and is just doing commentary and running from every fight until this week when they went after Asuka.....Gran Metallik is ULTRA TALENTED and should be much more than what they got him doing...Cesaro and Sheamus should be using their title clout to force a triple threat with Lesnar at Rumble...

This is why I enjoy Puro promotions and Chikara over most promotions because tag teams are truly the essential part of a promotion like DDT and of course NJPW. Hell, they have a whole tournament dedicated to tag teams that test out the chemistry and end up succeeding (Juice/Tana). I wish the WWE would have an annual tag team tournament to test the waters of potential teams and moty candidates.

Ehhh, New Japan never really delivers on tag team matches like other promotions. The few classics they have are very far in between, it's actually pretty weird considering how consistent they've always been with good/great singles matches. If it's not an inter promotional setting, is VERY rare to find a legit MOTYC tag match from NJPW. Same with DDT.

That's what I'm saying. WWE can capitalize by doing their own tournament and actually deliver. From the matches involving Usos/New Day. Imagine a tournament on the level of the battle bowl. shyt would be:banderas::wow:. But yeah, NJPW is kinda lukewarm when it comes down to actually have a MOTY candidate for the tag division, but the matches are still somewhat solid, especially during the tag leagues.

London (or Kendrick) said in their shoot interview that Shane said he didn't care for tag teams except for the Road Warriors. I assume he got that attitude from his pops.

I remember at one point when the E got rid of the tag team division which showed you how much they cared about it. But their is so much potential in the division and an easy way to create storylines and new stars so I'm glad they at least made them somewhat relevant again.
