Most underrated tag team match?

Recommended Posts

Guest Jay

I've got to go with the Natural Disasters vs. the Beverly Brothers match at SummerSlam 92 for the WWF World Tag Team Title.  The match started off slowly, then worked it's way into some classic old-school heel tag wrestling by the Beverly Bros.  They cut the ring off, they goaded Earthquake in to dole out more damage to Typhoon while the ref tried to get Quake out, they used the tag rope (God, I loved that thing), they used illegal double teams.  The match had numerous near-falls for the Beverlies, who looked very strong after the match.  Of course, Typhoon made the hot tag, and Quake killed them both, like a good face would.  Just a great match.

New Foundation vs. Orient Express at RR92 ws pretty decent, considering TOE were JTTS, Owen was just REstarting his WWF careet and Anvil wa son his way out (again)

I know this is the old school forum but i thought the Simon/Swinger vs York/Mathews matches on ECW tv was really good.

I'm going to say the Ricky Steamboat/Dustin Rhodes vs. The Enforcers (Arn Anderson & Larry Zybsko (Sp?) match for the WCW Tag Titles from Clash of the Champions XVII (17). Steamboat took the place of Barry Windham. Most forget about this match, but damn was it a great match. The crowd was hot and went crazy when Rhodes & Steamboat won. I also belive it was the debut of the WCW Tag Titles that was used from '91-'98. WCW was starting to make new belts to replace the NWA titles they were using.

Milo, you've got two great underrated teams right there.  York and Matthews were wasted in ECW, I was amazed.  ECW usually made good use out of the up-and-coming indie guys on their shows, then again, with the financial turmoil the company was in, I guess it was to be expected.

Even though it was only a year ago, I give the honors to the O'Haire, Palumbo v.s Kanyon, Stasiak match on Sunday Night Heat.  The wrestlers worked hard and it got the crowd excited towards the end of the match.

I like Strike Force vs. The Brainbusters from Wrestlemania 5.  It is the match where Martel turns on Santana and becomes "the model"

I agree with Dreamer, that match is awesome, yet it isn't mentioned much.

I have to agree,I also think that an under rated match was a match from WWF All American Wrestling from like 1994 when the Bushwhackers beat the Quebecers when only one Bushwhacker wrestled the whole match and they still beat the Quebecers,anyone else remember this?

Thanks.

There's no such thing as a good Bushwhacker match.  Maybe as the Sheepherders, but not as the Bushwhackers.

 

I'll go with Arn & Larry vs Dustin & Steamer.

No this match was on WWF All American Wrestling and it was a good match,it was actually good.The Quebecers controlled the tempo of the whole match and that's why I think it was good,man I wish I could remember exactly when it was,I think it was sometime in early 1994.

Thanks.

No you idiot it is not the same match because it took place when WWF Raw was still at the Hammerstein Ball Room and this match wasn't at the Hammerstein Ballroom it was an exclusive match.

Thanks.

I think the reason most people are jumping on you is because The Bushwhackers never had a good match. If they did people would remember it. Since a good Bushwhackers match is a very rare thing. They used to bleed buckets as the Sheepherders though.

I also have to agree with Strike Force vs the Brain Busters from WM V. A very good, but very forgotten match. Plus, I'm also a huge mark for the Brain Busters :).

The Bushwhackers didnt return til Fall 1993, WWF didnt hold shows in the Manahtten Center anymore. Anyway, Ive seen all the MNR, Superstars & Wrestling Challenges since 1993 and dont recall a Bushwhacker/Quebecer match being good. Their first was post WMX.

I second Marty Jeanetty/Kid vs. The Quebecers - excellent match (and I'm wondering why no one's used that overhead suplex/bodypress off the top rope finisher since).

Maybe the bump is too stiff for it. Several more matches I could nominate are Diesel/HBK vs. Kid/Ramon, & Davey Boy/Bret Vs. Owen/Backlund was fairly decent. Both on Action zone i believe.

Ok, the match that I think gets no respect is Rockers/ orient Express at RR 91. The whole match was basically non stop and the ending sequence is amazing.
