I think the problem with how The Viking Raiders have been portrayed on WWE RAW is the same issue that I have with Bobby Lashley as well. You have someone who looks like Ivar and works like him on WWE RAW, which is a rarity in someone this big, and yet WWE chooses to dump a comedy gimmick on him.
FTR has gone on the record to say that WWE treats its tag teams as an afterthought. And if you honestly look at the current RAW Tag Team Championship picture, which features these two teams in addition to the current champions, The Street Profits, one can't help but agree with Dax and Cash.
I really hope that there isn't a Charly Caruso on a pole match down the line where Ivar battles with Angel Garza to win her heart. It would be the final nail in the coffin for the WWE RAW tag team division.
The women's tag team championship picture is significantly better, in my honest opinion.
