Red Oni, Blue Oni/Professional Wrestling: Difference between revisions

** [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|The Brothers of Destruction]]: [[The Undertaker]] (Blue) and [[Wrestler/Kane|Kane]] (Red).

*** In Kane's second most notable tag team, with [[The Big Show]], Kane plays the Blue Oni to Show's Red. Kane tends to be the more stoic (if psychotic) of the two, while Show ranges anywhere between [[Hot-Blooded]] to [[Big Fun]].

** [[Sibling Team|The Hardy Brothers]]: [[Jeff Hardy]] (impulsive and aerial Red) and [[Matt Hardy]] (more calculated and ground-based Blue).

** [[Edge]] (blue) and [[Christian]] (red)

** Former WWE Unified Tag Team Champions Mike "[[The Miz]]" Mizanin (angry Red) and [[John Morrison]] (mellow Blue).

** The Rockers (originally AWA's [[Expies]] of the Rock 'n' Roll Express from the NWA), Marty Janetty (Blue) and [[Shawn Michaels]] (Red); notable for the fact that the group originally split after they gradually switched roles over the course of their 5-year tag team career.

*** In the same vein, the current iteration of ''[[D Generation X]]'', with [[Shawn Michaels]] back in the Red Oni role and partner/best friend [[Triple H]] in the Blue Oni role (it can also be noted that [[Do Not Call Me Paul|Hunter]] can switch the colors pretty much on demand now as a story needs him to).

** Classic big-man tag team [[Meaningful Name|The Twin Towers]], where the Big Boss Man (prior to his [[Heel Face Turn]]) was the Red Oni and Akeem "The African Dream" (after switching gimmicks from the One Man Gang) was the Blue Oni.

** EvenThe Outsiders, [[MickKevin FoleyNash]] (jokey RedBlue) and Al[[Scott SnowHall]] (seriousfirmly Blue)entrenched meetin thisRed trope head-on!terrritory).

*** [[Vitriolic Best Buds|The Rock and Sock Connection]]: Foley remains the jokey Red while [[Dwayne Johnson|The Rock]] is the serious blue.

** Even the ANNOUNCERS get in on the action!

*** ClassicThe ECW'sclassic team of [[JoeyJim StylesRoss]] (RedBlue) and Joel[[Jerry GertnerLawler]] (BlueRed). OH MY GOD!!

*** Classic ECW's [[MichaelJoey ColeStyles]] (Red) and TazzJoel Gertner (Blue). OH MY GOD!!

**** When Tazz went to the ECW Brand, Cole became the Blue to [[John Bradshaw Layfield]]'s hard-Red.

*** Gorilla Monsoon (Blue) and Jesse Ventura (Red). Gorilla was firmly Red, however, when teamed with [[Bobby Heenan|Bobby "The Brain" Heenan]] (cold, calculating Blue).

**** On that token, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper lived up to his moniker when he served as Monsoon's replacement Red with Brain.

** In TNA, you have Mr Anderson (rule-breaking, stubborn asshole Red) and Matt Morgan (higher-minded, honourable Blue), although, in an ironic twist, Anderson's entrance lighting is very blue-themed whereas Morgan's is very red.

** [[WWE Raw|Raw]] and [[WWE Smackdown|Smackdown]] are this right down to their colors.
