Wrestling Six Packs: Intergender Tag Teams I Want to See

They are become death...

So, Sami Callihan and Jessicka Havok have been conspiring on Twitter to team up and leave the collective independent scene a smoldering wasteland in their wake. As a fan of arcane teamings, I approve of this, but I think there are a few other choice tag teams that cross the gender barrier and could totally be awesome if made manifest. Here are six:

1. Mark Henry and Kharma

The World's Strongest Man may not come back from his injury, which is a shame on more than one front. I sincerely hope he does come back for many reasons as well, one of which would be the slight possibility to see this team, truly the only tag partner worthy of joining his Hall of Pain as an arbiter rather than a victim. Seriously, the wigs that would be split with this teaming would make Ryback's current streak of jobber squashing look like a dosey-do.

2. Saturyne and Crossbones

...destroyers of worlds.

Hey, remember when Henry teamed with Evan Bourne, and they did all kinds of moves that built off the ethos that Bourne would use his partner like a jungle gym? Yeah, that lasted for a hot second, but that's because WWE has the attention span of a gnat sometimes when it comes to tag teams. A teaming between the interstellar luchadora and former adherent to the Neo-Solar Temple would have immense potential for some jaw-dropping double-team maneuvers, especially given how explosive and agile Saturyne is off the springboard.

3. Santino Marella and LuFisto

One is a proficient comedic wrestler with underrated/underexposed in-ring game. The other is a legendary hardcore/technical wrestler with underrated/underexposed comedic chops. Putting them together might seem unorthodox, but I think the potential for physical comedy, unorthodox and unique double team moves and facial expressions would be off the charts here.

4. Rachel Summerlyn and Dolph Ziggler

There are teams where opposites attract. This team is not one of them. Summerlyn and Ziggler represent super-attractive, super-talented blondes who are among the best in their respective promotions. Putting them together would be unfair to the rest of the tag teams and common ground for couples who agree that having both together is a decent compromise in terms of eye candy.

5. Yoshihiro Tajiri and Lady Poison

Okay, so Tajiri winds up and hits you with the green mist. You're fumbling around the ring, blind, without any semblance of where you are, when all of a sudden, you're met with a female form. She grabs your face, presses you close and kisses you. Nice surprise, right? Well, that is until moments later, you spit up mist which means you're not only covered in it, you have it inside you too. This teaming would be worth it just for that visual.

6. AJ and Dean Ambrose (h/t Butch Rosser)

Let's work off the theory that AJ isn't a "crazy chick" but a "calculating chick who is playing three of WWE's top superstars for jerks in an attempt for something greater". I know it's a stretch because WWE has two baskets where they sort women, and one of them is not labeled "cerebral strategist". But imagine for a minute she could be that in WWE. Then she's paired with Ambrose, perhaps the most diabolical mind in wrestling right now? The potential for storyline havoc would be just sublime.
