WWE has had very disappointing Tag Team Champions in the past.
#6 Road Warrior Animal and Heidenreich

They probably should have avoided making this team.

Who thought that reuniting the Road Warriors (or Legion of Doom, if you prefer) by using the guy who was afraid of caskets and carried around a gigantic Hershey’s bar was a good idea? After being beaten up and taunted by the talented team of MNM, Heidenreich, who was once thought of as a formidable opponent of The Undertaker, was saved by former tag team great Animal.

Animal, was having a boring singles run (much like another old school wrestler, Tatanka, who was also on the SmackDown roster around that time), and needed something else to do. He was paired up with Heidenreich to help bolster a weak tag team division, and they had a forgettable run that saw them win the tag team championships, holding them for a couple of months.
They eventually lost the belts back to MNM, in a match that featured William Regal and a young Paul Burchill (before he was a pirate) and the Mexicools. Like I said, weak tag division.

About the author
Nicholas A. Marsico
I got my first big break writing for 411Mania back in 2004. I did a small spot in a big weekly piece that was written by one of the site's top writers. I quickly added the duty of being the live recapper for episodes of SmackDown, and in 2005 was given my own weekly column, which I did for a few years. I gave up writing (mostly) to start a family but got back into it, still at 411, a little over 3 years later. For another couple of years, I wrote 2-3 columns per week for the website before finding paid work elsewhere, and eventually wound up at SportsKeeda.
I am also the co-founder of the RBR: Weekly Wrestling Talk podcast, which started in the summer of 2005 and is still going strong today, almost 15 years later. Due to school, work, and family commitments, I left the team in 2011 but still remain a part of the family.
