Спорт
"How much does this guy weigh?" WWE aren't afraid of trying new things. Sometimes they are great, sometimes they suck. But why they would do the bad ones a second time makes no sense. These are 10 flops WWE should never have tried again.

The "New" tag team didn't actually start with the Rockers. It started with the "New Foundation" consisting of Jim Neidhardt and Owen Hart. And although they didn't label them "new" one could say the same think happened with the Crush/Smash iteration of Demolition and the Tanaka/Sato version of the Orient Express. With that being said, I thought the "New" Blackjacks were a decent enough team. Perhaps if they had a different name, they might have fared better. Then again, if the New Blackjacks took off, we likely wouldn't have gotten the far superior team in the APA. The New Rockers were meant to be a rib on the original team as Janetty and Cassidy were turning up their antics to 11, which was designed to get the fans to dislike them. Unfortunately, the fans didn't really care one way or another. Finally, the "New" Midnight Express was just a bad idea all the way around, and probably contributed to Cornette's disdain for everything WWF/E

I may be wrong, but was there a single match in Bragging Rights or Raw vs Smackdown Survivor Series history that was actually a one-off? The matches always felt pointless. Two teams fighting to decide which brand had more talented guys not involved in storylines. Champs fighting champs to overly protected finishes meaning no titles were defended and nobody looked good.
Bragging rights could've worked if they gave the winning team championship opportunities like in WWE 12. That'd give team members a reason to work together and could push new stars

The problem with WWE putting the Undertaker in matches with guys bigger than him was the guys they chose. The guys chosen, Giant Gonzales and Great Khali, were big but couldn't wrestle or really even move in the ring.
The set falling on Vince was especially tasteless because something similar had happened weeks earlier in TNA, resulting in the death of one of the backstage crew.

Riffing on the "new" tag team names, and no mention of the only one that really made it, Billy Gunn and Jesse James as the New Age Outlaws? Sure there was no original Age Outlaws, but technically the point was about putting the word New in a team name.

Gobbledy gooker was around a while before they canned him. He was there more than once. Also he appeared at Wrestlemania X-Seven.

No, you don't want IcoPro back. Apparently it was so terrible that even the wrestlers refused to use it even though they could get it for free. Bret Hart once said in an interview that he couldn't even give it away. He'd give some to a local kid looking to get into sports/body building, and within a week, the bulk of what he gave him would be returned to his front porch with an apology taped to it, saying that it tasted terrible, didn't work or both. The ice cream bars though......
