comment |
The World's Greatest Tag Team is a professional wrestling tag team consisting of Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas. The duo debuted near the end of 2002 in World Wrestling Entertainment as part of Kurt Angle's new faction, Team Angle. After they broke ranks with Angle and started feuding with him, they adopted the "World's Greatest Tag Team" name. Both sharing amateur wrestling backgrounds, the duo proved to be highly successful performers in the ring. More impressively, they debuted during a period where popular tag teams such as Edge & Christian and The Hardy Boyz were no longer together, so TWGTT helped to fill the void in the tag team scene. Unfortunately, the duo split up in 2004 after Benjamin was traded to the Raw brand. While Benjamin went on to have a relatively successful singles career, Haas was lost in the shuffle and was briefly released in 2005 before returning to the company the following year. In 2006, the duo re-formed their tag team before they were eventually split up again. The two were both released from their contracts in 2010. They both found their way to Ring of Honor and competed there for three years. Benjamin left for New Japan Pro-Wrestling at the very end of 2012; Haas stayed in Ring of Honor until March 2013, when he quit in what so far appears to have been a legitimate shoot, disbanding the team. |

The Bully: To poor ROH rookie Cheeseburger, in fact Charlie Haas is the reason he was called Cheeseburger and tried to retire him for no reason. Shelton wasn't content to leave him alone even after Charlie was gone. Mike Bennett stood up to Shelton and sent him out of ROH with a loss at Super Card of Honor VII. |

You Have Failed Me: After their feud with the All Night Express, Haas tried teaming with Rhett Titus to win the ROH World Tag Team Titles left vacant by Kenny King's departure, and Shelton Benjamin tried to help them in the deciding round by running interference against SCUM. Titus objected to it, causing he and Haas to lose the match and Haas and Benjamin to go back to teaming with each other after beating up Titus. |

This pay-per-view match, being the first Haas and Benjamin had in Ring of Honor, was just below a main event which featured Tyler Black (aka the future Seth Rollins) threatening to leave the promotion with the World Championship. |

Took a Level in Jerkass: This is what caused the end of Charlie Haas's friendship with Lillian Garcia and his (onscreen) relationship with Jackie Gayda in WWE. Lillian had said she wanted to be just friends, so he laughed and congratulated his till then romantic rival Viscera when he accidentally smacked her. Dawn Marie was trying to ruin his relationship with Jackie and it apparently worked as he took it upon himself to let them both down hard and in tears. |

You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Their attitude toward Kurt Angle when he returned from injury and thought he could still be friendly with them, them being "Team Angle" and all. Neither party thought they needed the other but Haas and Benjamin wanted to put an exclamation on that point, going as far as to team up against Kurt with The Big Show. |

Canon Discontinuity: Regarding Benjamin's relationship with Brock Lesnar. On top of having been roommates at the University of Minnesota, Benjamin actually coached Lesnar in amateur wrestling, and later they formed a tag team called the Minnesota Stretching Crew in OVW. When Kurt Angle debuted Team Angle, he claimed he'd drafted Benjamin to make it personal. Only, since the casual fans didn't follow OVW, Angle only mentioned the roommate thing. This was dropped after only a couple of weeks, and later they would acknowledge the Benjamin/Lesnar tag team. |

Finishing Move |

comment |
Finishing Move: Individually, Shelton has the T-Bone Suplex and a jumping reverse STO he calls Paydirt, Charlie has the Haas of Pain submission and a lifting inverted DDT called the Haastile Takeover. Together "The World's Greatest Finisher" (two man power bomb). |

Jobber: Charlie Haas became such a jobber that he lost to Takeshi Morishima. Granted, that wouldn't be the mark of a jobber anywhere else but WWE land, but the point stands Morishima wasn't even a developmental guy and would be gone for seemingly for good in another day. |

Jack of All Stats Charlie Haas, with a noted lack of high flying finesse (as part of his gimmick, the man can jump around when he wants to, just not to the extent that Shelton does). Shelton does about everything except for not being particular deep in submission holds (he highly excels at the mat, high flying and striking) while Charlie is more so known for submission holds and has a submission finisher. Shelton does sometimes used a grapevine ankle lock as a finishing move though. |

To Be a Master |

To Be a Master: Both of them but in different ways. Charlie's dream was to be a tag team champion, Shelton wants to be the world heavyweight champion of whatever promotion he's working for and just sees showing fans what he calls "the last great tag team" as just biding his time till he gets a shot at the highest possible title. Ironically, Charlie Haas has had more heavyweight championships than Shelton. |

Irony: Their ROH theme boasts about how they will smack you down, which is exactly what happened to Charlie Haas via an overhead punch from Claudio Castagnoli when Charlie tried to jump up to the top rope where Castagnoli already was. However, Shelton jumped too high for it to work and still knocked him off. |

Combination Attack: Atomic drop from Haas, super kick from Benjamin, which was their finisher during their first WWE run. Sometimes it would start with a super kick from Shelton and end with a German suplex from Charlie. Also a leap from guillotine called the Broken Arrow and a double hip toss back breaker called the star spangled banner. |

Jerkass: Charlie Haas in ROH. Both to an extent, what with Benjamin getting them a 5K fine for use of a chair but Haas went so gone so far as to breakup Shelton's covers while they were on the same team and punch the ref who threatened a DQ. Eventually Haas would fully turn on Benjamin during their attempts to win back the tag team titles in 2013, as shown on ROH on SBG #76. |
