5 WWE Tag Team Champions You Forgot About

#2 Charlie Haas & Rico - 2004

Opposites don't attract

Charlie Haas had spent all of 2003 as apart of an excellent tag team with Shelton Benjamin on SmackDown, where the two worked very well together, had great tag team matches and would be 2-time WWE Tag Team Champions. And now here is almost the opposite.

The ever-flamboyant Rico had spent all that time over on RAW and would make his way to SmackDown in the draft lottery in 2004, as Benjamin went to RAW. Rico would defeat Haas on his SmackDown debut, where he would use overly homosexual antics to creep Haas out.

The following week, new SmackDown General Manager Kurt Angle would reward his former pupil Hass with a WWE Tag Team Championship match, with a surprise partner. The partner was, of course, Rico, and this new tag team would defeat Rikishi and Scotty 2 Hotty to win the gold.

Haas and Rico would have a few successful title defenses, most notably over Billy Gunn and Hardcore Holly at Judgement Day, before losing the titles to The Dudley Boyz in June. Rico would go down with an injury shortly after, and returned after a nearly four-month absence in October for a brief reunion with Haas, before he was surprisingly released from WWE the following month.
