During a recent interview with It’s My Wrestling Podcast, former WWE Superstar and tag team specialist Charlie Haas discussed why Vince McMahon has no interest in tag team wrestling these days.
Here is what Charlie had to say on the matter:
“Here’s what we were told towards the end when we split up – Vince doesn’t like tag team wrestling, he looks at it as an added expense, as paying for an extra guy on the road. Extra guy in the hotel room. He really doesn’t like it and he changed a lot of it over the years. When you’re talking about 2002 with the tag teams I think that was a great time. When I was a kid growing up in the 80s we got to watch Arn and Tully, The Rock N’ Roll Express, The Midnight Express, The Fantastics, The Guerreros, The Dynamic Duo. Those tag teams meant something you know? If I’m forgetting anyone, I’m sorry. The tag teams meant something I felt when we were there too, but that’s all passion. I love the Tag Team stuff, you know. I was a fan of it before I became one.”

Tag team wrestling certainly seems to have lost it’s relevance over the years within WWE, with the glory days of The Hardy Boys vs The Dudleys vs Edge & Christian long behind us.
