| 0:00.0 | Wrestling loves to break people up. |
| 0:02.0 | As soon as two people get together, somebody backstage is losing their mind, |
| 0:06.0 | because one day they'll spit up and we can all have a party. |
| 0:09.0 | Sometimes this happens in weeks and it's mad, we didn't even have a chance to care. |
| 0:13.0 | Surprise, surprise, it can also go really bad. |
| 0:16.0 | I mean, look at your significant other right now. |
| 0:18.0 | If you don't want to replace them, Or maybe you do. And if you do, |
| 0:22.1 | stop watching this video and sort that out, otherwise, let's go. Number 15, crime time become enemies. |
| 0:28.2 | So a lot of these entries are going to be tag teams for obvious reasons. Ever since the breakup of the |
| 0:33.0 | Rockers, WWE especially thinks that's how you can create a single star. Why don't we do it all the time? No, I wouldn't have minded at all if Shad Gaspard or JTG had received such treatment, but WWE didn't even get them right as a duo. Should have got a way bigger push than they did. The proof of that was in the term. Shad smacked his partner on the 2nd of 840-2010 Smackdale when they lost in 40 seconds to John Morrison and Our Truth. Gaspard's excuse was he didn't need his friends anymore, and we had not planted the seeds for this at all. Then we did a strap match right away. All of this was so flipping random. The truth is none of it was thought out, and we did it because we needed something to do, which |
| 1:11.2 | sat because crime time got themselves over in spite of their booking. |
| 1:15.0 | Then management was confused while this didn't work, a wet fish could have told you. |
| 1:18.9 | Soon after both guys are put in lessor rolls and it hurts doubly these days, Shad Gaspard |
| 1:23.6 | tragically passed away in 2020 after saving his son's life. It's way more important than any of the above, but still. |
| 1:30.3 | JTG also kind of balanced out for a while and tried to make himself entertaining, but then got |
| 1:34.3 | fired for basically having fun, as this was WWE non-planning at its worse. |
| 1:39.3 | We just ruined a popular team, and what did we leave them with afterwards? |
| 1:43.3 | Nothing. Number 14, the Heart Dynasty is done. Tyson Kierden and David Hart Smith were a super solid tag team who should have been kept that way forever. Neither guy was going to get individual push in 2010, because WWE just wasn't focused on these type of dudes. We all have had Natalia as their manager who was fighting two, so yeah, this worked. |
| 2:01.6 | Just let them do their thing. |
| 2:03.1 | Of course, we couldn't do that. |
| 2:04.4 | And on the 15th on November Roar, Kid refused to tag in when facing Justin Gabriel and |
| 2:08.4 | Heath Slater. |
