The other thing that nobody seems to remember is that the reason the Rockers split was because WWF thought they could get \'\'two\'\' singles stars out of the breakup - at the time of the breakup Jannetty was considered equal to Michaels in both ability and charisma. It was Jannetty\'s love of partying and \"personal demons\", as well as two different pushes interrupted by injuries, that ended up hamstringing his career. That, and it\'s possible for members of a unit to achieve individual success without severing said unit (Wrestling/ElSanto of The Atomic Pair immediately comes to mind but the American Wolves and Briscoes of Wrestling/RingOfHonor, the Canadian Ninjas of Wrestling/{{SHIMMER}} and countless others serve as examples). Another major reason for this phenomenon was the attempt for former tag team partners/stablemates to earn the Triple Crown achievement, where a wrestler wins a Tag Team championship, an Intercontinental Championship (or other similar second-tier championship in different promotions), and a [insert promotion name here] World Championship (or Championship, depending on the promotion) in order to be recognized as a wrestling superstar.
Deleted the above entry because it\'s mostly a general rant about tag teams being split up over \'\'decades\'\' that makes no sense being on SoBadItsHorrible, even ignoring that splitting up some of those teams seemingly worked and that it\'s not specific to WWE. It\'s looks like it was added in 2010 or maybe even earlier when the standards for entry weren\'t as strict.
