On the show, Hardy explains how tag teams suffered and were not being given similar opportunities as solo wrestlers. However, they get the chance to compete in the major event, but their bouts aren’t headlined and aren’t remembered.
Talking on the show with Jon Alba, Hardy stated, “I just really think Vince never saw Tag Team like a main event draw. He just didn’t. The tag teams were disposable, you know. I mean, he knew we were killing it as far as doing the merch. The royalties we were making were out of this world. But I still think he kind of felt like we were all Teflon, and it didn’t hurt us to get beat.”
“You know, even though I feel like to maintain credibility. You do need to pick up wins, especially in key situations. But just tag team wrestling has never been Vince’s thing.”
Furthermore, Hardy claimed that McMahon is always on the hunt for the next solo star, breakout star, or someone he can build his brand around.
