hi Sean, I'm not posing this question with the intention of asking you to put anyone on blast, but can you think of any career tag teams (thinking guys like the Road Warriors, Bushwhackers, Nasty Boys, etc.) where one guy was maybe a demonstrably better worker than the other or had significantly more singles star potential?

Well I love Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, but I think everyone would agree that Bret Hart was miles ahead of him in the ring. But the Anvil's presence and personality is what set them apart. With the Headshrinkers, Samu was fine, but Fatu had something way more special, which is why WWE tried four different times with him. Billy Gunn was a clear standout over Bart during the Smokin' Gunns team. Harlem Heat gets brought up a lot, but I honestly think that if Stevie Ray wasn't seven years older, he would have got a better upper card run. TNA had teamed Elix Skipper and David Young, and Elix Skipper was miles ahead. Also Judy Bagwell ran circles around Rick Steiner in the ring.

Are the Creeds and Ivy Nile being held off of Raw awaiting Chad Gable’s return or have they just disappeared due to the poor booking of the tag division as usual?

I keep asking about them, and not getting answers. I've found it a complete waste to not use them if they're healthy. I would like to believe they're being held off until Chad Gables return, at which time they'll feud with the Americanos, but even they haven't been on TV much. Hopefully that's all it is, because the Creeds and Ivy haven't really benefited from this switch as of yet.

Who do you see being the cover star of the next 2K game?

CM Punk. They just barely had enough time to get him in a couple of games ago, and now they've had time to flesh out a full story for him. They can put some really good stuff into a story mode for him. WWE 13 was actually one of my favorite editions, which had him on the cover.
