The Sandman Recalls Jim Duggan Saying In 2007 That WWE Was Thinking Of Making Them Tag Team Champions

The Sandman says that WWE was considering putting the WWE Tag Team Championships on him and Hacksaw Jim Duggan in 2007 — at least, that’s what Duggan told him. Sandman made an appearance on the Major Wrestling Figure Podcast and during the conversation he reflected on his short-lived tag team with Duggan in WWE, noting that Duggan told him that they were thinking of putting the titles on them.

“So Duggan comes up to me and he goes, he’s like, ‘yo, Hak,'” Sandman began (per Fightful). “He goes, ‘They’re thinking about putting the tag team straps on us.’ And I’m like, ‘Oh, yeah, great.’”

He continued, “I turned around and I’m like, ‘Who the f**k is going to do the work? Who’s going to work? What are we, both going to stand on the apron? Who’s doing the hot tag? It would be the worst hot tag in the history of freaking the business.’”

Sandman had a run in WWE from 2005 to 2007 following his appearance at ECW One Night Stand 2005. He exited the company in September of that year. He and Duggan teamed up on WWE live events and made a single appearance on TV in a quick loss to Carlito and William Regal on the July 23rd, 2007 episode of Raw.
