The Hollywood Blondes

Assuming this is the Austin/Pillman version, the entire run was four months long.

 

Plenty of teams have short shelf lives, especially today, but how many teams that were intended to be a true team (real teams with a real run, not two stars doing some shots together) have a comparable arc to this one, in this case meaning a short flash of brilliance before breaking up for whatever reason?

What four months are you using? Are you basing that on the weird WCW TV taping cycle at the time? They were *presented* as a tag team for twice that long, so just curious.

They basically teamed regularly from about Feb to July or August, so maybe 5 months, 6 tops? They've got about 50 matches as a team, with many of those not on tape.

It was more like 10 months. They had the match at the January '93 Clash against Steamboat//Douglas for the tag titles after being put together as a team during the first tapings of the new year. The breakup angle aired on the October 30th edition of Saturday night.

I get where the 5-6 months came from because they only started calling themselves the Blondes months after they started teaming.

Right. They teamed some before that, but The Hollywood Blondes gimmick that everybody remembers was probably less than 50 matches total.

Also, did they actually work together after Pillman's injury in August, when Regal replaced him at the Clash show?

One match to set up the break up, and then a few matches in Europe, where presumably the break up hadn't aired yet.
