Slickster Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Rico the first man to win WWE tag titles TWICE as a mystery partner? (by WWE tag titles, I mean the 'World' and/or the SD! tags.) He's also the second man to win the World, THEN the WWE tags (first being Benoit). EDIT: Rico's actually the 3rd man to do that; Edge won the World tags many times, then the WWE tags at No Mercy 02.
Guest Hot Ticket Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 ...couldnt have found a better person to do this with...really...I meanthat
Fökai Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 Rico's had the Raw titles before? Teaming with Rikishi, they defeated Chuckabilly for the World Tag Titles in April of 2002 - they were the universal belts until the Smackdown tag titles were introduced in the fall of that year.
Scroby Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 Ohhhh...well then does that really count since it was before the brand extension?
DCMaximo Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 It was during the brand extention...the tag titles went to Raw when Lance Storm and Christian (the reigning champions) jumped over. Then Smackdown started their own titles.
Scroby Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 Ohhhhhh yeah they jumped ship err sorta. Ok nevermind then.
dubq Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 Ohhhhhh yeah they jumped ship err sorta. Ok nevermind then. ..and even if the brand extension wasn't in effect, they're still the same titles, same lineage, etc.
Guest The Midnight Rocking Warrior Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 Rico: wrestling's new tag team specialist. Hey, I'd rather see him with the belt than Billy Gunn
Youth N Asia Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 I'd take anything that would lead to less Rikishi on TV
Scroby Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 ..and even if the brand extension wasn't in effect, they're still the same titles, same lineage, etc Geez I said My Mistake, get off my back! j/k
Nevermortal Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 I can honestly say that I haven't the foggiest remembrance of Rico winning the belts with Rikishi, and I can pretty much remember any champion of the modern era. How long did they have the belts for, anyway?
Guest The Midnight Rocking Warrior Posted April 24, 2004 Report Posted April 24, 2004 They won the belts at Judgement day 2002, lost them about two weeks later back to Billy and Chuck
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Posted April 24, 2004 Report Posted April 24, 2004 I think they lost em in a double elimination match. Rico tapped out to a wristlock in 5 seconds...for the obvious reasons, than cheated to help C&B win. They teased a face turn I think because whenever B&C weren't around he'd celebrate, or do it behind their backs.
Gert T Posted April 24, 2004 Report Posted April 24, 2004 I remember how pissed Rico was when he was walking out with Billy & Chuck after the match, then saw his tag belt and grabbed it and hid it behind his back. The fact that I remembered something from Judgment Day 2002 is sickening.
