Slickster 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fökai 0 Report post 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.

DCMaximo 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest The Midnight Rocking Warrior Report post Posted April 23, 2004 Rico: wrestling's new tag team specialist. Hey, I'd rather see him with the belt than Billy Gunn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nevermortal 0 Report post 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Midnight Rocking Warrior Report post Posted April 24, 2004 They won the belts at Judgement day 2002, lost them about two weeks later back to Billy and Chuck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gert T 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
