Hawkins & Archer - Thoughts?
« on: May 24, 2010, 12:33:25 am »
So a completely random pairing.

Two guys with no direction, put together, what does everyone think so far?

I really like the pairing myself, both guys are being given a chance to talk, both seem are decent in the ring and they have contrasting styles to.  You have the "American Psycho" Vance Archer, playing the vicious big man, much like Diesel, with Curt Hawkins in the, smaller, talented, brains of the outfit role, ala Shawn Michaels, he even hits a picture perfect elbow drop like Ol'HBK.

I like Archer but i cant stand Curt Hawkins, he was shite the first time around and nothing much has changed.

Sold on Archer.... Still deciding on Hawkins

You love until you don't, You try until you can't
You laugh until you cry, You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe, Until their dying breath

Honestly, I always thought Hawkins was better than Ryder and thought it sucked they took so long to call him up, I'm more sold on him at the moment.

I don't really see the point of them as a team to be honest, especially when there has just been a heel team debut not so long ago (Dudebusters).

Archer could be good if they slowly build him up but can't stand Hawkins. Plus one thing that eeks me is Archer is wearing dark colours yet Hawkins is always wearing those horrible Red leather pants that scream jobber.

Yeah but its' hardly like they are over run with teams, and I say the more the better and as much as I like Dudebusters, they have been booked to jobber status and nearly killed off already, haven't the champions already beaten them like 3+ times?

True but how many times did the Hart Dynasty job out to Cryme Tyme in the past year.

In fairness that was an even feud in which they exchanged wins and Cryme Tyme edged it.

This has been a complete destruction.

Over a month later, and I think they've been a pretty good success, beating some credible names, getting good heat, decent wrestlers, sweet finishers, still got the Diesel-Shawn Michaels thing going on, the Tag Champions are meant to be able to go on any show, although they never seem to, get the Hart Dynasty on Smackdown, this feud needs to happen!

In some odd ass way I agree with Hammy I think Hawkins and Archer are a decent tag team and I think they could do a good show with the tag champs!

Only got round to watching last weeks Superstars a few days since, was cool to see Hawkins & Archer said they were coming after The Hart Dynasty, looks like we are finally getting that feud!  :clap:

Eliminate the brand split and heck we have a Tag Division....

Hart Dynasty
The Dudebusters
The Usos
Hawkins & Archer
Santino & Kozlov
Straight Edge Society
Any "Nexus" Combo


And the, thrown together but team quite often combos.... (I count Santino & Kozlov as a proper team now with the time they've spent together)

They lost to the friggin' Dudebusters last night!  WTF?  Now I really like The Dudebusters and I've wanted them to be pushed for ages, but they are just jobbers who lose to everyone in most peoples eyes, I hope this is more a case of pushing The Dudebusters rather than giving up on Hawkins & Archer.

All the 'proper' tag teams they currently have are heels, except The Hart Dynasty and Santino/Kozlov, who I don't see troubling the Tag Title picture any time soon....

I am glad to see tag team wrestling trying to make a comeback in the WWE the only problem with that is after a tag team as good run in the tag team scene they break them up for solo careers, and they after awhile the are gone for good in the WWE.

I just do not see any good tag teams in the WWE the Hart Dynasty are okay but they do not stand out, the Usos will be gone soon because they just do not fit in, and do not get me start on Santino and Kozlov.
