History Wrestling / TheWorldsGreatestTagTeam

* {{Irony}}: Their ROH theme boasts about how they will smack you down, which is exactly what happened to Charlie Haas via an overhead punch from Claudio Castagnoli when Charlie tried to jump up to the top rope where Castagnoli already was. However, Shelton jumped to high for it to work and still knocked him off.

* {{Jerkass}}: Charlie Haas in ROH.
** TookALevelInJerkass: This is what caused the end of his friendship with Lillian Garcia and his (onscreen) relationship with Jackie Gayda in WWE. Lillian had said she wanted to be {{just friends}}, so he laughed and congratulated his till then romantic rival Viscera when he accidentally smacked her. Dawn Marie was trying to ruin his relationship with Jackie and it apparently worked [[GoneHorriblyRight as he took it upon himself to let them both down hard and in tears]].

* {{Expy}} They had one in Ring Of Honor's The All Night Express, much to their annoyance. The World's Greatest Tag Team had been together longer but The All Night Express were in Ring Of Honor first.

* PowerStable: Shelton was part of the Nightmares in OVW under Danny Davis and Suzuki-gun in New Japan under Minoru Suzuki.

* BoringButPratical: Nigel [=McGuinness=] was really incensed by their use of a tainted rag to defeat the Briscoes at ''Boarder Wars'', even if it was a "[[GimmickMatches Fight Without Honor]]".

* TheAlcoholic: Charlie Haas in the later stages of his ROH run, especially after Shelton took a trip to New Japan, leaving him alone to get drunk and get in fights because of it.

* LetsGetDangerous: Benjamin's CMOA was the time he was drafted to Raw and found himself on the bad side of VillainSue TripleH. Most expected Shelton to become CListFodder for the Game. As it turns out, Shelton ''beats'' his ass! TWICE!

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Shelton was frankly in disbelief Wrestling/{{Christian}}, ECW Champion, would challenge ''him'' to a title shot. (it's usually supposed to go the other way). Christian wanted to "steal the show", tired of WWE always overlooking its ECW brand. Shelton agreed the show would be stolen, but that Christian wouldn't be ECW Champion afterwards. [[spoiler:he was.]]

* FaceHeelTurn: At ''Final Battle 2011'', a pre-taped anti-WWE promo by the Briscoes and a pre-match beatdown by Haas and Benjamin turned WGTT from [[ScrewedByTheNetwork Screwed by WWE]] to arguably the most hated heels in Ring Of Honor.

* DyeingForYourArt: Gold hair made Shelton more distinct from Marcus Corvon and Bobby Lashley, also on the ECW roster.

** Charlie Haas, with a noted lack of high flying finesse (as part of his gimmick, the man could probably jump around if he wanted to, just not to the extent that Shelton does)

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Their attitude toward Kurt Angle when he returned from injury and thought he could still be friendly with them, them being "Team Angle" and all. Neither party thought they needed the other but Haas and Benjamin wanted to put an exclamation on that point, going as far as to team up against Kurt with the Big Show.

* ArchEnemy: As a team they had Kurt Angle in WWE and The Briscoes in Ring Of Honor. Individually, Charlie Haas has Kevin Duun.

* ToBeAMaster: Both of them but in different ways. Charlie's dream was to be a tag team champion, Shelton wants to be the world heavyweight champion of whatever promotion he's working for and just sees showing fans what he calls "the last great tag team" as just biding his time till he gets a shot at the highest possible title. Ironically, Charlie Haas has had more heavyweight championships than Shelton, who has had more tag team success than Charlie.
