Top Failed Tag Team Remakes and Rehashes in Wrestling History

A good tag team can be wrestling box office gold. Often, old ideas are rehashed in the hopes of riding a wave of nostalgia and a nice payday.

Sometimes these ideas work, fans love it, and money is made. More often than not, however, these retreaded and repeated ideas fail miserably! Here are twelve such examples!

12. Demolition (Crush and Smash Version)

Demolition’s popularity waned with Crush in place of Ax, and they were unable to recapture that late ’80s magic.

11. 4 Horsemen (1993 Paul Roma Version)

Most incarnations of the Horsemen were able to have success and strike fear into their opponents’ hearts, even if they weren’t quite the same as the originals.

10. The Fabulous Freebirds (Fantasia / Badstreet Version)

The gimmick lasted for a mere five months before it was scrapped.

9. "The New Foundation" with Jim Neidhart and Owen Hart

While the team was undefeated, their run only lasted a few weeks as the Anvil left the WWF.

8. The New Rock’ n’ Roll Express

Ricky Fuji, Brad Armstrong, and Kid Cash were all, at one time, teamed with one of the members of the Rock’ n’ Roll Express.
