the invading nitro thing was bullshit and it was always lame when wwe would bring it up
I think it could have been salvageable if they started off putting BG with someone like Foley who had no problem putting over guys (he puts Val Venis over at No Mercy later on in 99).
Probably not. He had the look and in-ring ability but he was awkward on the mic and didn't have the charisma of the other top guys (or even his own tag partner) at the time. Putting him with Rock was likely meant to catapult him into the main event scene but he wasn't getting over because his promos were just trash. I remember reading somewhere that originally BG was supposed to win against The Rock but Vince changed his mind after seeing how awful BG was on the mic.
NAO are up there but I'd probably go with the Steiners as the best tag team ever. Also notable mentions would be Road Warriors and Dudleys.
Yeah, that was just stupid. Probably concussed him and just a completely pointless "spot"
Damn man, Idanceontrannygraves was right about you.
Super Cena was out of control in the early 2010s.
I remember Rey won a tournament for the title just to lose said title to cena (same night) and I noped tf out for another 3 years.
BOD was not even a top 50 tag team if we're being honest. They weren't a tag team all that often or long, they didn't really have an impact besides the fact that two people who were big stars teamed up and didn't innovate anything. I'd put them on par with HHH and Austin's tag team, probably even less impactful
If I remember right, I think he used their role in reshaping the wrestling landscape with the launch of AEW to justify the decision to include them.
they teamed on and off, they had the gold a few times, but I always thought when they were fighting against each other in singles was when it was more impactful, I still remember their last feud when Taker let Kane go over him 3 PPVs in a row in 2010 before Taker went part-time, always thought that was a nice gesture on his part, considering the fact Taker generally got the last laugh in all their other feuds, WWE went to complete utter and shit soon after that and I just stopped watching, 2009 was the last year the product was as a whole watchable until 2020 imo, the 2010s were the dark ages
Precisely. They didn't do jack shit. I mean I guess it doesn't matter, the Hall of Fame is ultimately a joke anyway; fuckin Rikishi is in it, afterall. It was just so baffling to hear BoD brought up in a GOAT discussion and the way Taker blows their importance out of the water threw me for a loop.
Everytime I think of the Brothers of Destruction, the first thing that comes to mind is that absolutely dreadful match against KroniK in Unforgiven 2001.
having held tag titles twice (three times if you count wcw during the invasion) doesn't seem very impactful or top 50 worthy
He has asthma. That's why he wasn't a full-time singles star.
