Show Gunns ripped on each other hard. I remember one time Big Show told Billy he’d been losing weight to which Billy replied “look behind you. You’ll find it”. Brutal.
When I was a kid before I understood bookers control everything, I thought that when wrestlers were in a rut they'd basically ask around the locker room with other guys "Hey wanna try a tag team?"
I mean its kinda right lol
Vince's booking certainly gave that impression.
That Sean OHaire devils advocate gimmick is still one of my favorites
You're just saying what we already know
Okay but it didn't go nowhere and it was short-lived I'm just telling the truth because nobody seems to
His gimmick went no where when they put him with Piper. Then it was dead in the water.
I'm reasonably certain there were two hats backstage labeled "Kane" and "Big Show" and names were pulled from them to determine who those two Superstars would be paired with.
Oddly enough, Vince apparently did some Tag Teaming with Johnny Ace behind closed doors.
I remember I had a WWE magazine from like 2008-2010 and It had Tekno Team 2000 as one of the tag teams that no one will ever remember lol.
Yeah I never heard of them.
I was at the O'Neill Center in Danbury, Connecticut for the of the episode of WWF Superstars that Tekno Team 2000 debuted on. I will never NOT forget them
They did Erik Watts dirty!
Tajiri was a great worker
Is* he is still wrestling full time
A legend
One of the best to ever do it
O'Haire had a really good look.
Duggan and Super Crazy kinda sounds amazing
Man I’m racking me brain trying to remember this
Kinda crazy ooooooooooooo😂
LOCOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I'm not gonna lie. 11 year old me loved Techno Team 2000. I was sorely disappointed when they stopped appearing on TV. 40 yo me is disappointed with 11 year old me.
Billy Gunn & Hardcore Holly, and Charlie Haas & Hardcore Holly were super random. I went to a live show, and Bob Holly ended up tagging with Booker T.
I actually remember a good chunk of these, especially the Ruthless Aggression Era teams. The Duggan/Super Crazy pairing was new to me though.
Duggan called him "Craze". The only reason I remember them, is they were in a PPV Tag Team Turmoil match...
Jokes on YOU, Simon! I actually SUPER remember scotty 2 hotty and albert as i am currently rewatching early 00's WWE xD
I thought everyone did
I got a team for ya. I believe it was the catalyst for Aj Styles vs. Chris Jericho. If memory serves me correctly, it was Y2AJ. And it was CRIMINAL how little that tag team lasted. It was badass
Sad part is the team had merch. Only to be split up in under a month
D-Lo and Mosh had a really great tag team finisher where Mosh would superplex a guy while D-Lo jumped off the adjacent turnbuckle and hit a frog splash on him. D-Lo had to jump before his target even hit the mat, it was fantastic.
Also, they wore matching Addidas track pants that were different colors each week. Lo-Down was sweet.
Very similar to the PowerPlex done by Power and Glory back in the day.
And similar to what FTR does now.
I grew up during ruthless aggression so i thought all those thrown together tag teams on smackdown were a normal occurrence lmao at least the pitbulls made sense bc they're keyfabe cousins lol
Them going down to the ring wearing dog collars with chains and barking was taken from the late great Junkyard Dog.
@@stevegallo8483 The Pitbulls as a tag team were taken from the real ECW; however it was *Vince's company* that made them a Cruiserweight tag team, when they were two colossal 'roid monsters in *ECW* ; completely twisted from the norm...
The Pitbulls of ECW were amazing! This team in WWE was a joke.
I'm loving the interactive video lay outs. Now I need Simon doing the DX pose while a DX photo is over layed.
Slight correction with the Pitbulls
They first teamed up in January and began regularly teaming in March, with their last match in September.
So slightly more than two months
Tekno Team 2000 will always be remembered.
I actually remember Kash & Noble as The Pitbull’s. I love and always have loved Tag Team wrestling, these two guys together were very fun to watch.
D-lo brown for hall of fame
I agree wholeheartedly. Sadly, I think him being linked to the Droz injury will go against him in the eyes of some. Despite Droz himself saying it wasn't D-lo's fault.
@@jimbo_1312 Same more recently with Ridge Holland. Big E has stated endlessly since 2022 that it's an "accidents happen" business, but fans legit hate Ridge and accuse him of racism and intent...
@@jimbo_1312 idk that was a accident, he was one of the mvp's of the attitude era
Owen Hart botched move that basically ended Austin’s career. The only thing keeping him out of the HOF is his wife Martha.
What about the tag team of Yoshi Tatsu and Goldust? Haha
Going to WWE tonight in New Hampshire with my best friend!! Woooo
Fun little fact about Tekno Team 2000: Troy, known as Chad Fortune irl, became a long-tenured and successful monster truck driver for Monster Jam. He ended up being a spokesperson for the NWO monster truck too. He would also drive alongside Madusa (yes, THAT madusa) who arguably has one of the most successful female careers in monster trucks. He’s driven several different monster trucks, most notably Superman and Captain America. It’s rumored the trucks he drove had special seat modifications to fit since he was so tall.
The only two i remember first hand so to speak the pitbulls and matt hardy and tatanka
Deuce and Domino are pretty much forgotten especially since they used to be champions at one time...
Cherry helped make them pretty memorable 😁
I loved em at the time. London and Kendrick sold for them like hell, so I thought they were really hard hitting brawlers instead of just not being great workers. Also I liked their goofy AF theme song. I'm a sucker for a silly high concept gimmick like Greasers.
Also Cherry = Yummy.
@@RealElMaximo They really dropped the ball on Cherry. I remember there was a popularity contest thing with the smackdown divas, a combination of dance offs and bikini contests over several weeks, and Cherry ended up coming second to Michelle McCool. She had organic crowd support. Then the bookers had Deuce and Domino abandon Cherry (Who was one's kayfabe sister and the other's girlfriend!) for Maryse, and they released her after letting her beat Maryse in some mixed tag matches. She had crowd support and sympathy and a gimmick that had evolution potential, and WWE just decided she was too chubby or something and let her go.
I thought they gimmick was pretty cool very different. The greaser thing was really not done at the time. And both of them guys were great workers.
3 out of 10 of them I had no idea they were a team.
Honestly Duggan and Super Crazy being over isnt that surprising. You have the nostalgia pop with Duggan and flippy lucha stuff with Crazy. Pretty fun, if wacko, package.
I remember the tag team of Duggan and Super Crazy!! To me their "Hoooo!! Siii" chant, was iconic for that era of WWE.
The picture of Jim Duggan & Super crazy is hilarious 😂
How am I just now hearing
“Techno Team 2000”…that’s fantastic..
That Chaz & DLo Brown team was wicked 😂
Simon said putting new in front of a tag team never works but the new ago outlaws were so good
He means new infront of an old tag team… the new rockers, the new legion of doom, the new midnight express…new age outlaws where an original tag team… what your saying would be the “new” new age outlaws
@@rayb.1180weren't the team name a spinoff of the smoking Gunns?
Love your videos
Simon Miller is the man WWE should make him an announcer
You actually got me with 3 of em and they were all in the top 4!
Very good list.
I don't remember these, but I do remember Armageddon who I recall had at least one match on shotgun. They were the guys from the truth commission after that group split.
Slam Master J and Jimmy Wang Yang
wait they were a team😂😂😂
The Freebirds sons.
@@arnoldrobertsiii8908 yeah, that was a thing I guess
@@user-ih2tr7rt9r okay so Jimmy Wang Yang is really P.S. son? JBL said it on tv years ago, so I ran with it. I didn't think he was lying, but it seemed odd to out him on tv like that.
@@arnoldrobertsiii8908 oh, OK now I understand the contacts in my memory now I remember it Yeah, that it’s just messed up man I don’t know why they did him like that also and I do believe it had to be his son I believe yeah and I think it very cool. You ran with it so that was awesome it was odd and awful for what they did to them on TV. I feel bad. Hope he’s doing all right. Thanks for letting me know. You’re cool dude.
I thought Albert and Scotty Too Hotty made a good tag team. Lo Down was a decent tag team until Tiger Ali Singh got involved 🤦🏿♂️
I loved Lo Down. D’Lo was such a great worker. Chaz was a good tag team guy. It worked and should have been better for them.
Wrong about Piper and O'Haire; it was solely 2003 after Piper returned at WM XIX, and lasted all of three months, not because Piper was "too big of a star"; because he was *fired* due to his drug issues and a particularly disturbing and depressing interview he gave to HBO about young deaths in wrestling...
The Sean O’Haire thing has literally never made sense to me. Had a great gimmick going, paired with Roddy, than he’s involved in a feud between Roddy, Hulk and Vince. At some point he just disappears and that was that.
I seen a little bit of clips of his Swanton bomb and his moveset the dude was amazing he was going on the microphone and he couldn’t make any character look good I think he would’ve loved him and understand where he was coming from too bad he was gone so soon
Sean O’Haire was a spectacular worker in that he did a lot of really athletic moves we didn’t expect to see from a guy of his size in that era. However, he wasn’t a good worker when it came to the basics of pro wrestling and holding a match together. He also wasn’t picking up those skills in comparison to say Chuck Palumbo and Mark Jindrak. Eventually, the WWE moved on from him to concentrate developing other talent.
@@tamalie2 that’s a fair point, but I honestly think WWE saw way more in Sean from the start. Jindrak and Palumbo were only ever really apart of groups (Jindrak with team Brock and Chuck with FBI). The Devils Advocate could’ve been good stuff the vignettes were awesome. Maybe it didn’t live up to Vince’s expectations. Either way, RIP Sean O’Haire gone way too soon
@@tamalie2 yeah but still he doesn’t deserve to have that being treated like that for him that way I think they could’ve just done something more with him
How do I not remember Shoguns!?!? I thought I knew all of Hakushi's run. That dude was phenomenal!!!
Less shocked I don't remember Duggan and Super Crazy, as I was barely watching during that period.
Shoguns were very brief. They feuded right before Kwang realized he was not Asian
I was all ready to proudly claim that I remember all these teams and then the first came up and it was a team I forgot existed for that 5 minutes the did so I stand corrected.
With the Eric Watts one and then being promised a tage team title run, I don't doubt that his dad probably told him that since Eric pretty much only got hired because his dad had just started working there. It seems up until his TNA run he was only getting hired because of his dad so that should tell you everything.
I think there was something about the backstory on Tekno Team 2000 that said they came from a world where Dusty Rhodes was president (or something similar).
I knew about all these teams except the first and last. Haha.
Duggan and Crazy?!? WTF…. Awesome!!!
Some of the thrown together tag teams really worked though, to the point that it was a shame they didn't stick together longer. The Bar, I am looking at you in particular. It's also arguable that without Team Hell No, Brian Danielson/Daniel Bryan would never have hit the heights that he did in the WWE and really smashed the "indie darling glass ceiling".
My only actual memory of Tekno Team 2000 was hearing about them from my friend's older brother and thinking he was making it up, because I thought it sounded too stupid to be real.
Lo Down was a sweet tag team. They actually showed some promise until, bizarrely, they were put with TAS
I remember Tekno Team 2000 because they had a cool theme.
Really? I had no idea they ever existed
Vance Archer and Curt Hawkins
Matt Hardy and insert random partners: Animal, Tatanka & Khali
No lie Lo Down could have been a solid team.
They were; the WWF made them jobbers and THEN made them foreign heels....from New Jersey. 🤣🤣
I honestly thought that Lo Down was a cool tag team (before that Tiger Ali Singh mess). They worked well together. Their finisher was cool. A superplex followed by the Low Down. Except that D'Lo was in the air while the superplex was still happening.
Grayson Waller and Drake Maverick
Wait, they were a tag team to
I know there’s plenty of others and there could probably be multiple lists. My favourite obscure band is “High Energy” consisting of Owen Hart & Koko B Ware.
I remember Tekno Team 2000 and the Pitbulls. the others I really
don't remember as tag teams. weird I know because I have been
a WWE fan for 30+ years!!
I wish simon show everyone else in whatculture how make a video simon up as always 😂😂🎉
Zack Ryder and Primo
I wish I didn't remember most of predator vinces bs
Loved the Pitbulls! Could have been a great team. Wish they were given more time.
I kinda love throw together teams….its fun to see companies explain why they are teaming up lol
I wonder if there is an alternate universe where there is a channel like What culture where there are people there 10 years older than the oldest person employed by them? The time cut offs for these subjects are wild.
You’d have to be a longtime fan to know these teams. I do, since I’ve been watching for 32 years.
Man.. The Human Oddities are often forgot about. They had some BIG people in their stable too.
Unfortunately, none of them outside of Golga/Earthquake could really wrestle.
Sad thing I learned about myself today, other than tekno 2000, I remember all these teams and when they formed and when they disbanded off the top of my head. The crazy thing about this all is it feels like while the days of bizarre teams in WWE may be minimal now, AEW has been surely keeping this tradition alive 😂
4:05
Renee Dupree is from FRANCE
Silvan Grané was the one from French Canada.....
Incorrect. Both Canadian
Both Where French Canadian Renee Dupree Father was A Wrestler name Emile Dupree
Oh my glob is that Techno Team 2000 😂 I forgot about those guys, still not watching the video.
I remember all of these teams
Vince seriously was so stupid for not liking tag team wrestling because tag team wrestling LITERALLY BRANG HIM AMAZING POPULARITY TO THE PRODUCT, AMAZING TALENT, NEW MATCH TYPES, AND SO MUCH MONEY!
Since Billy won the KOTR, am I the only one who thinks they missed a major opportunity for a name....
The Show-King Gunns?
Another great example of Vince never knew what do with young promising talent and didn't know how to build young and future stars
I remember all these teams except like three
Was thinking the original Ascension was going to be here for some reason.
The ONLY Pitbulls tag team to mention is the ECW variant
EXACTLY
Tru dat!!!
I remember all of them, and mostly how bad they were. Even as a 13 year old back in 1995, I thought Tekno Team 2000 was the lamest team name ever.
Is this the third time this video’s been released? It feels so familiar
I remember The Pitbulls only because of a house show in my area and they came out and I was confused on who the team was
Jokes on you Simon, I actually remember most of these.
I remember all of these teams.
I remember them all.
Sean O'Haire was REALLY dope. R.I.P. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Roddy Piper & Sean Ohaire 😂😂
WWE should have had a woman walk The Pitbulls out on leashes. She could have dressed as a dominatrix. That hasn’t been done before……🤣😂🤣 Shoutout to Francine the Queen of Extreme!!!!
After Shaniqua they wouldn't.
@@johnyang1731 Yeah, she kinda ruined that.
i really liked kenzo suzuki and rene dupree its one of the first matches i saw but i dont know who they were fighting xD
If you grew up during the Attitude Era then you remember Lo Down
Billy and show could have been the new Show Guns
I actually remember all of these tag teams.
Shogun, isn't that a TNA team and Trivium album?
Of course, everyone remembers Sean O'Haire and Roddy Piper
Deuce and Domino with Cherry is a pretty forgettable tag team. I only recently remembered them in a past clip
To be fair, I actually enjoyed the theme song of Dupree and Suzuki
So... Other than hubris, why didn't WWE keep Sean O'Haire and Jindrak together? They were clearly a decent tag team. And even if you thought they needed development, you still brought them back and put them in strange pairing. They easily could've saved the SD tag division from teams like Suzuki and Dupree.
Sean O'Hare should have been a beast!
Duggan always got over. Didn’t matter when or where or with who.
Is it terrible that I vaguely remember Jim Duggan and Super Crazy Tag Team…?
At least one of the members of Tekno Team 2000 would have a successful monster truck racing career after leaving wrestling.
There was some team called the heart throbs from mid 2000s
I remember the Pitbulls, I liked them
Rene was billed from Paris, France (not Canada) and had a pet poodle named Fifi. Kenzo was from Japan, so he had to basically abuse his Geisha girl (and real-life wife) Hiroko. They were both foreign and were teamed due to their "mutual dislike of the United States". Thought I would clear up Vince's reasoning for teaming them up for you, Simon... 🤣🤣🤦♂🤦♂🐩👘
SHOULD I FEEL ASHAMED THAT I DO REMEMBER MOST OF THESE? LOL
