Cody Rhodes and Ted Dibiase, Jr. should have a real tag team name...

...like Crime Time does. I like it when tag teams actually have names like the Dudley Boyz or the Beverly Brothers. So, what would be a good name for them? How about Priceless Personified or The Million Dollar Dream Team? (Has the latter already been taken?) Thoughts? Ideas?

I like the 1st choice more. Million Dollar Team I know had been used for a team with Survivor Series with his dad The Million Dollar Man and there was a team called Money Inc. Personally, I think Dibiase Jr. needs to find a way to stand out and be different from his father and the same can be said for Cody Rhodes. I don't see much out of them to say they are stars in the future but that can change. I hope they find something that can make different.
I don't really have any ideas but Priceless Personified would work just fine at this moment. I just wonder if they're going to do anything with the tag belts. What other teams are there outside of Cryme Tyme? I couldn't name any others even if I had wanted to.

I remember Money Inc. They were a good tag team. Cody Rhodes usually bored me as a face and I hope he's better as a heel. For one thing, (this is a minor complaint) he needs new wrestling gear. Perhaps he and Ted should have matching tights? I haven't seen much of Ted Jr. in the ring, but I think he does fairly well with promos. It would be pretty hard for either of these two to follow in their father's footsteps, so yeah, they should try to differentiate themselves a bit. Yeah, Cryme Tyme is pretty much the only other tag team that could challenge them on Raw. They do have the Highlanders, but they've been used as jobbers for quite some time. I don't think we'll see any push for them. They're basically this generation's Bushwhackers.

I forgot all about the Highlanders. I guess when you haven't really seen them do much it probably explains it. Ted Jr. can speak on the mic but as far as his wrestling, needs to wrestle some better competition and the same can be said for Cody. If they make themselves different from their fathers, they'd have a shot at being successful. Personally I think Cody's brother Dustin was successful in his own right with the Goldust character.
I think they need some tag teams to get involved to make it seem much more interesting than it could ever possibly be. I don't know if there are plans to fix the tag team divisions at all. If they don't want tag teams, why have tag belts in the 1st place?

They could possibly combine there fathers names, Million Dreams? WWE are missing real tag teams and its something they have been missing for a while, the majority of the tag teams are singles competitors thrown together for a short spell between storylines or two rivals being forced to co-operate, it was so much more enjoyable when we had real tag teams Dudley boys, LOD, Demolition etc

You're absolutely right about singles competitors being thrown together as a tag team. I think WWE sees both pairs of tag champions as future single stars. Probably moreso with Morrison and Miz. Afterall, they each have their own entrance. Million Dreams wouldn't be a bad name for a tag team.

i think cody rhodes and ted dibiase, jr can do well without a name for their tag team in the meantime. what wwe creative should do is to find suitable opponents for this team. i'd like to see these two cross brand lines and go at it against the miz and morrison, jesse and festus, chavo and bam neely, the hardy boyz, and of course against cryme time and the highlanders as well.
i miss the time when there were a lot of tag teams battling it out at the wwe. like i said in another post, the tag team division is one area that is constantly underutilized by wwe. i miss the legion of doom, the dudley boyz, the demolition, and the hart foundation. hell! if wwe can come up with chessy temas like the can-am connection or the strike force befor, i'm sure they can come up with a new one these days. hopefully, wwe brings bask the glory days of the tag team division.

Million Dollar Dream Team would be great for them, but I see one problem.
For me they are not a strong enough team to boast such a title.
* They are not fan favorites so to speak.
* They act like they are a heel, yet they are not dirty enough
* Both seems to lack power and speed
Perhaps in time once they get their skills together they can use the title. But for the sake of their family reputaion in wrestling, they should master the trade first.
