10 Teams You Forgot Were WWE Tag Team Champions

How about those mid-2000's huh?

7. Rico & Charlie Haas

A couple of years later, Rico found himself as Tag Team Champion once more, though this time it was his partner - Charlie Haas - who was the (initially) reluctant party. 

The flamboyant Rico and the straight-laced Haas bagged the gold in their first match as a team, beating Rikishi and Scotty Too Hotty on the April 22, 2004 episode of SmackDown. 

You can see the psychology in pairing them up, since it was an easy-to-understand dichotomy, Rico had been floundering and Haas was a noted tag specialist fresh off a great run with Shelton Benjamin (who had been traded to Raw). 

Regrettably, the odd couple duo (accompanied by 'Miss' Jackie Gayda) did next to nothing on television, defending the belts mainly on Velocity and at house shows. 

Their most high profile defense was against Hardcore Holly and Billy Gunn, at Judgment Day. A month later, they dropped the titles to the Dudley Boys after holding onto them for a not-inconsiderable but unmemorable 56 days.
