Sting and Darby had fantastic chemistry, and that had to be rewarded too.

It was a fun way to position the tag scene before the current tag-team tournament.

But again, this is why this is all so subjective. One man's art is another man's ass crud.
I think it was fine but didn't really add to it IMO ...probably would have been better if they had the titles earlier and had more of a lengthy run that culminated in his retirement.

Just seemed kind of weird to have them win the title 3 weeks before he was set to retire and then only defend it on his last ever show, and then vacate the belts.
