Bret Hart made his name as part of the Hart Foundation tag team with Jim Neidhart and during a recent edition of Bret Hart’s Confessions Of The Hitman video series, he was looking back at WWE’s tag team scene when he first joined the company. Hart put over The British Bulldogs for raising the bar and the Fabulous Rougeaus as a team capable of five-star matches. He’d then reflect on the current tag scene in WWE and suggest Vince McMahon is no longer a fan of tag team wrestling, and he is responsible for killing that part of the business.
I think it’s my understanding that Vince McMahon got sick of tag team wrestling and is no longer a fan of it, and that’s so sad that he kind of singlehandedly killed a part of the wrestling business that was so important.Bret Hart
It is hard to disagree with Hart when you consider McMahon had Braun Strowman win the Raw Tag Team Championships with a 10-year old boy. This booking decision was a big part of why FTR decided to request their WWE release, believing the division had been devalued and not taken seriously within WWE. Thankfully for fans of tag team wrestling, the division is still alive and well in other companies. With AEW recently showcasing the division at their Full Gear pay-per-view with a match of the year contender between FTR and The Young Bucks.
