This is probably the toughest decision I've had to make this draft. I narrowed it down to two and it really could have gone either way. Hopefully I made the right one and you won't secretly think I'm an ass! I literally flipped a coin for this one.
Anyways, for my fifth pick I wanted a team that could bump around for The Skyscrapers and play the charismatic underdogs. I really wanted an irresistable force Vs an immovable object type matchup. I know some people may have gone with a power team to match with The Skyscrapers but those matches have never been all that fun for me as a viewer. I've always been a fan of watching the big man-little man matches with the little man trying to overcome the odds. I don't worry about this team bumping around cause they spent the last parts of their career in the WWF as JTTS.
This team is one of the most underrated tag teams of the '80s. When they came together, they were already singles superstars. One was a former AWA World Champion and a two time WWF Tag Team Champion. The other a two time Intercontinental Champion and a former WWF Tag Team Champion. Their pairing was makeshift at first but immedietely when they started teaming up, it seemed like you were watching a team that had been perfecting their craft for years. Just a rock solid tag team. This team isn't mentioned on a lot of Best Of... lists but I think they should be. Behind The Hart Foundation and The British Bulldogs, they were perhaps the best the WWF had to offer for tag teams in the 80s (and yes I'm including The Rockers).
For my fifth pick and the 76th pick overall in the draft, I select...
Tito Santana and Rick Martel...STRIKE FORCE
