There's nothing worse in wrestling than a horrible rehash of something that was great. Although this oftentimes ends up being a recreated storyline that doesn't live up to their predecessor, sometimes wrestling companies think it's a good idea to try to recreate classic tag teams that were massively successful.

The success rate of bringing something magical back using a relaunch is extremely low. Still, this hasn't stopped wrestling promotions from trying over and over again and this list will examine 9 failed attempts at recreating great wrestling tag teams.

10 LOD 2005

The LOD in 2005 consisted of Heidenreich and Road Warriors Animal

There are few teams with a resume that matches the Legion of Doom. They helped not only elevate tag team wrestling but made it extremely popular. Animal and Hawk changed wrestling forever and any attempt to touch their legacy will always fall short.

In 2005, there was a blasphemous relaunch of the group a few years after the passing of Road Warrior Hawk. Heidenreich joined Animal and instead of changing the name and likeness the two just rehashed the LOD. Not even winning the WWE tag team titles could make this relaunch feel like anything other than a huge mistake.

9 The New Rockers

The New Rockers

The Rockers are often considered the greatest tag team to never win the WWE tag team titles. The union between Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty created many entertaining matches. Their infamous split up also created one of the greatest wrestling stars of all time, "The Heartbreak Kid."

Although Shawn Michaels went on to have a great solo career, the same can't be said about Jannetty. after his solo career started to grow stale, he was thrown into a tag team with Leif Cassidy. They were called The New Rockers but didn't have 10 percent of the star power of Jannetty and Michaels. The New Rockers only lasted a few months as a team and ended with Marty leaving the WWE.

8 The New Midnight Express

The new Midnight Express Cropped

Sweet Stan Lane and Beautiful Bobby Eaton were technically the "new" Midnight Express but they're not the version of the team that's often considered a horrible rehash. The third iteration of the group featured Bombastic Bob Holly and Bodacious Bart Gunn.

The two had such little ties to the Midnight Express that they felt like they were just using the name for the sake of "having a big name." Despite being great performers in the ring, Bombastic Bob Holly and Bodacious Bart Gunn's time as The New Midnight Express didn't last very long.

7 Harlem Heat 2000

Harlem Heat 2000

WCW had one of the greatest tag team rosters of all time and Harlem Heat can easily be argued as the greatest tag team to ever compete at WCW. Booker T and Stevie Ray held the WCW tag team championships 10 different times and were a dominant tag team unit.

In 2000, Booker T separated from Ray and started his solo career which eventually became a WWE Hall of Fame solo career. Although things would work out for Booker T, the same can be said for Stevie Ray. He replaced Booker T with Ahmed Johnson (aka Big T) and the two had very limited success as Harlem Heat 2000.

6 The New Headshrinkers

The New Headshrinkers

Fatu and Samu helped revitalized a legacy that The Wild Samoans established. Fatu and Samu were a great unit that was so captivating they became WWE tag team champions. In 1995, Samu left the group and was replaced by Sione.

Not only was there a severe lack of chemistry between Fatu and Sione, but the pair also change The Headshrinker's gimmick to make them more "civilized." The pair quickly fell down the card together and although Sione struggle to recover from the fall, the bad rehash of Fatu and Samu helped launch Rikishi.

5 The Four Horsewomen

The-Four-Horsewomen

The Four Horsemen defined an entire generation of wrestling. The original 4, Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Ole Anderson, and Tully Blanchard left a legacy that will never be touched. Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard were dominant as a tag team within the faction. The WWE has a bad reputation for always trying to rehash some of Ric Flair's great moments with Charlotte Flair.

One of those flopped moments occurred when they attempted to establish a Four Horsewomen stable. Bayley, Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, and Sasha Banks are all stars in their own right, but throwing them together in a group for the sake of recreating a "new" version of a legendary group did little to serve the four future WWE Hall of Famers.

4 The Hart Dynasty

The Hart Dynasty

The Hart Foundation is one of the most famous factions in the history of the WWE. Bret Hart and Jim Neidhart were a tag team unit that helped turn Bret Hart into an icon and the team is already in the WWE Hall of Fame. The Hart Dynasty was marketed as "the newest wrestler from the Hart dungeon."

The faction featured various wrestlers with ties to the Hart family (most notably Natalya, David Hart Smith, and Tyson Kidd), and despite being together for a few years, they did very little to leave a lasting legacy like Hart and Neidhart.

2 The New Blackjacks

The New Blackjacks

The Blackjacks are a WWE Hall of Fame tag team featuring Blackjack Mulligan and Blackjack Lanza. Blackjack Mulligan's son, Barry Windham, teamed up with JBL to launch The New Blackjacks. The pair did not have any chemistry and Windham struggle to maintain the Magic of Blackjack Mulligan. The pair flopped so badly that they disbanded in less than a year.

1 The Fake Outsiders

When Scott Hall and Kevin Nash (The Outsiders) formed the nWo at WCW, they changed wrestling forever. The nWo was essentially the catalyst to the Monday Night Wars and they are still often remembered as one of the greatest heel factions of all time.

The WWE tried to wield its power over Hall and Nash by recreating a fake version of their WWE gimmicks, Razor Ramon and Diesel. "Fake" Diesel and Razor Ramon was a joke, but it still failed in every aspect. It's often remembered as one of the worst creative decisions in the history of the WWE.
