Real Reason WWE Tag Team Never Feuded With Each Other

WWE

The real reason members of a legendary WWE tag team never feuded with each other has been explained by a Hall of Famer.

One of the most popular tag teams in the WWE Attitude Era was The APA, made up of Faarooq (Ron Simmons) and Bradshaw (JBL).

When the duo split up and JBL was pushed as a singles star, they never had a feud or a big match to cap off the end of their partnership like many tag teams do.

On the latest episode of Something To Wrestle, JBL explained why that was the case, saying:

“No, never discussed… We didn’t have a desire really at the end to wrestle each other in an angle. Not that we minded wrestling each other, we’d done it enough times, that was not a big deal.

“Ron’s I think six years older than me, so I retired a little bit earlier than he did age-wise. He was beat up. He played in the NFL, nose tackle, he played college football, he’s in every college football Hall of Fame there is as a nose tackle, and they just destroyed those guys’ knees, hips, everything. He’s got a fake hip now.

“Ron was pretty beat up. He wrestled probably longer than he should have, and one of the reasons was because we were good friends and we were having so much fun. So it wasn’t a huge desire of Ron to continue wrestling.

“He did the best thing for me, which I’m so appreciative, he’s my best friend and it was really cool what he did for me. He made me before he left and gave me all that equity that he had in himself.

“I don’t know, we just never really thought it was that good of an idea. Maybe if we had done that in the mid 90s, it’d have been different. “But at this point, I’ve got to go almost straight to Eddie Guerrero and some other things, and Ron’s kind of ready to get out of the ring completely.”
