Guest sidrules Posted July 6, 2005 Report Posted July 6, 2005 Due to the release of the Road Warriors DVD, I thought i'd make a list of my top 10 tag teams 10. The Wild Samoans- 3 time WWF tag team champions, trained many stars, first truly great tag team 9. The Rockers- no title wins but great chemistry. Also, had great individual stars. 8. The Hardy Boyz- 5 time WWF tag team champions. Constantly put on classic matches. 7. The Steiners- 5 time WCW tag champions, 2 time WWF champions, great chemistry. 6. Harlem Heat- Another team of brothers with great chemistry, 10 time WCW champions. 5. Hart Foundation- played great as heels and as faces, 2 time champions, great chemistry 4. New Age Outlaws- great entertainers, great as heels, 5 time WWF champions 3. Edge and Christian- incredible entertainers, put on great matches, great individual ability, 7 time WWF Champions 2. Dudley Boyz- Titles, Titles, Titles, only team to have ECW, WWF/E, and WCW championships,8 time ECW, 9 time WWF/E, 1 WCW 1. The Road Warriors- great entertainers, only team to hold the big 3 championships, 2 time WWF, 1 time AWA and NWA. If you want to do daily or bidaily top 10's respond so.
razazteca Posted July 6, 2005 Report Posted July 6, 2005 1. 4 Horsemen - Tully & Arn the #1 heel team in NWA/WCW 2. TIED Rock & Roll Express and Midnight Express - The influential small tag teams that spawned many copycats.....gotta love the double team moves 3. Road Warriors - The big man team that everybody copied. "Well...Tell Them Paul" 4. Dudley Boys - Did a damn good job copying the Nasty Boys and Public Enemy all the while pissing off the audience. Probably will be remembered as the team that did table spots. 5. Hart Foundation - I think I would go with the stable of Bret Hart, Jim Neidhart, Owen Hart, the British Bulldog Dave Smith. To be honest I can't think of anymore teams since tag team wrestling has been dead for years. I would list more but wrestlers don't stay together as a team for years anymore.
Just John Posted July 6, 2005 Report Posted July 6, 2005 I won't rank them now, but a top 10 for me would include the following teams: The Steiner Brothers Road Warriors Arn/Tully The Dudleys Edge/Christian Harlem Heat The Outsiders Rock and Roll Express Midnight Express Rockers
CanadianGuitarist Posted July 6, 2005 Report Posted July 6, 2005 I swear I was thinking it last night during the Road Warriors Commercial as well, but was too drunk to do anything about it. 10)Money Inc. I mark for both these guys. 9) Natural Disasters. See above. 8) Elimintaors. 7)Harlem Heat 6) New Age Outlaws. 5) Steiners 4) Demoliton 3) Bulldogs 2) Dudleys 1) Road Warriors
Guest sidrules Posted July 6, 2005 Report Posted July 6, 2005 would anyone likw to do a series of "top 10" lists
snuffbox Posted July 6, 2005 Report Posted July 6, 2005 10 Demolition - Started as a Road Warriors ripoff but they made it work and got/stayed over for some time. Really good team chemistry, surprisingly good matches. 9.Edge and Christian - So much charisma, great matches, managed to get over during a hot era for wrestling. 8. Arn Anderson/Bobby Eaton(the best tag team workers to ever live) > Arn/Tully > Arn/Larry Zbyzko > Eaton/Regal 7. Fabulous Kangaroos - The greatest team ever for about 35 years. 6.Hart Foundation - Brets great workrate was nicely complimented by the hoss Neidhart. 5.Steiner Brothers - Behind the Bulldogs, probably the most talented team ever. 4.Blowjobs - The Rock N Roll Express > The Rockers > Fantastics > Hardy Boyz 3.Road Warriors - So good they developed a huge cult status. Terrible workers, no sold everything, poor when they went solo...but as a team it was just near perfect. 2.British Bulldogs - Probably the most talented tag team ever. 1.Midnight Express - Even against jobbers they were entertaining. They had great chemistry (both incarnations) and worked well with everybody. They were so over as heels that it forced a face turn. They were undeniably cool.
The Decemberists Posted July 6, 2005 Report Posted July 6, 2005 (edited) In no real order... British Bulldogs Funk Brothers Steiners Rock N Roll Express Midnight Express Arn and Tully Dudleys (Buh Buh and D-Von, but the Snot Dudley and Dudley Dudley combination came close ) Misawa and Akiyama Kawada and Taue Bruiser Brody and Snuka EDIT: Argh! Can't believe I forgot the beyond awesome Miracle Violence Connection! Terry Gordy & Steve Williams have to be included, probably inplace of Brody and Snuka. Hollywood Blondes (The Austin and Pillman incarnation) would be 12th. Edited July 6, 2005 by The Decemberists
nl5xsk1 Posted July 6, 2005 Report Posted July 6, 2005 Since I was never a huge 'workrate' fan as a kid, some of my choices are teams from the 80s that kind of sucked at actual wrestling. In no order: Road Warriors Koloff & Kruschev (fuck it, add Ivan, too ... Koloffs & Kruschev as a 6-man) Freebirds (Hayes, Gordy & Roberts) Studd & Bundy Miracle Violence Connection Hollywood Blondes Tully & Arn Sheepherders (not the Bushwackers, though) Midnite X-Press (Condrey-era) Dynamic Duo (Adams & Hernandez)
Guest jm29195 Posted July 6, 2005 Report Posted July 6, 2005 This is just by what I have seen and enjoyed watching, not by overall historical impact or other factors:- 1.Steiner bros 2.LOD 3.Horsemen/Brainbusters 4.MVC 5.British Bulldogs 6.Can- Am Connection (Furnas/La Fonn) 7.Eliminators 8. New Age Outlaws 9.Dudley Boys 10.Hardys/E&C
Mystery Eskimo Posted July 6, 2005 Report Posted July 6, 2005 Hollywood Blondes should be in all of your lists. And no love for the Nasty Boys?

deancoles Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 (edited) Would find it difficult to limit it to 10 and impossible to put in order. Midnight Express(Lane/Eaton version) Hart Foundation British Bulldogs Demolition Rockers Windham/Rhodes Road Warriors Benoit/Malenko Steiners Dangerous Alliance(any combination really, had a lot of good 6/8 man tags on Worldwide) Doom Williams/Gordy Demolition Rougeaus Edit: Sadly I've only seen WWF, WCW(Worldwide from 90-92 and 96-01 with odd tapes like GAB 89 and Capital Combat 90) and limited ECW(00-01) so my list is heavily WWF 80s biased. Edited July 7, 2005 by deancoles411
gwf0704 Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 10)The Midnight Express (Condrey and Eaton) 09)The Rock N' Roll Express (Morton and Gibson) 08)The Freebirds (Gordy and Hayes and Roberts) 07)The Dudleys (D-Von and Bubba Ray) 06)The Von Erichs (Kevin and Kerry and David) 05)The Steiners (Rick and Scott) 04)The New Age Outlaws (Gunn and Road Dogg) 03)Steve Williams and Terry Gordy 02)Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard 01)The Road Warriors (Hawk and Animal) Mostly from the 80's as tag teams were more of an emphasis back then, and thats not counting the Fabulous Ones, The Hollywood Blondes, The Samoans and The Briscos and Funks.
Mr. S£im Citrus Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 I can't believe that there are so many people here who think that there have been ten teams better than the Hart Foundation...
Kahran Ramsus Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 No real order. The British Bulldogs The Hart Foundation The Steiner Brothers The Midnight Express (Lane & Eaton) The Rock N Roll Express The Brainbusters The Hollywood Blondes Edge & Christian The Road Warriors Badd Company
razazteca Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 No love for the Dynamic Dudes? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Triple Threat.....YES. Skateboarding blonds from WCW Saturday Night.....NO. I am sure Shane Douglas was in better teams in WCW than Dynamic Dudes.
snuffbox Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 I am sure Shane Douglas was in better teams in WCW than Dynamic Dudes. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> His team with Ricky Steamboat should be considered for any top-10 tag team list.
Coffin Surfer Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 From what I've seen: 1. Kawada/Taue 2. Misawa/Akiyama 3. Misawa/Kobashi 4. Midnight Express 5. Misawa/Kawada 6. Kobashi/Kikuchi 7. Brainbusters 8. Kroffat/Furnas 9. Mutoh/Hase 10. Fantastics
Dangerous A Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 In no order... Unholy Demon Army (Kawada/Taue) Midnight Express Road Warriors Misawa/Kobashi KENTA/Marufuji Miracle Violence Connection (Gordy & Williams) Furnas/Kroffat Arn & Tully Hart Foundation (Bret and Niedhart) Steiner Brothers
Zack Malibu Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 My 10: 1)Hollywood Blondes-THE ultimate heel team, and my all time favorite tag team. 2)British Bulldogs-My favorite tag team as a kid, and innovative for their time. 3)Ricky Steamboat/Shane Douglas 4)Hart Foundation 5)Edge and Christian 6)Brainbusters 7)The Rockers 8)Demolition 9)Midnight Express 10)Impact Players
Lil' Bitch Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 In no order: LOD Demolition The Hart Foundation The Steiner Bros. Harlem Heat Edge & Christian TWGTT Mysterio / Kidman Benoit / Malenko STRIKE FORCE
Epic Reine Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 No love for former WCW tag champs, David Flair and Crowbar?
nl5xsk1 Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 I can't believe that there are so many people here who think that there have been ten teams better than the Hart Foundation... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Is this a list of who we think were the greatest teams, or just our personal top 10 list? I personally recognize the Hart Foundation as being a great team, but they bored the piss out of me. I didn't ever root for them or against them. I dug them as heels, but that was more me hating their opponents than liking them.
Mr. S£im Citrus Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 (edited) :: shrugs :: I'm not criticizing anyone's opinions, it just surprises me; anyone who knows me will tell you that I'm a huge tag team mark, and while I've seen most of the teams mentioned in this thread (except for the puro), the Hart Foundation stands alone as my personal favorite. I didn't expect anybody else to rank them as their favorite, but it shocks me how many people didn't rank them at all. Edited July 7, 2005 by Mr. S£im Citrus
nl5xsk1 Posted July 7, 2005 Report Posted July 7, 2005 There's a few teams that were awesome as wrestlers (or especially as a team) but really did nothing for me as a fan. The Steiners are another perfect example of this. Even when they were stiffing the shit out of people, I didn't give a crap about them. EDIT: and I went out of my way to specify that I liked shitty wrestlers.
