Who is the greatest Tag Team

[CanadianGuitarist 0]

You guys are forgetting some:

 

- High Voltage

- Well Dunn

- Techno Team 2000

- The Oddities

- The Bushwhackers

- The New Breed

- DOA

- The Colossal Kongs

- The American Males

 

No tournament can be complete with those teams.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

This isn't a completist tournament. I don't think any of those could ever be considered the one of the best tag teams ever.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Also, he forgot the Ding Dongs.

[World's Worst Man 0]

1)  The Road Warriors

2)  The Steiner Brothers

3)  The Rock N Roll Express

4)  The Midnight Express (Lane & Eaton)

5)  The Hart Foundation

6)  The British Bulldogs

7)  Demolition

8)  The Brainbusters

 

Those eight teams pretty much have to be there.  The only one you can fudge a bit is Demolition, but the other seven are far and away the best seven tag teams ever.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Far and away, really? I'd bet that HDA and MVC had more great matches than that whole list combined. Of course, ignoring any hyperbole, HDA and MVC likely had a larger quantity of high quality matches than any individual team on that list. And comparing best vs. best is no contest. Granted, you might prefer those other teams, but calling them "far and away the best" is different than "far and away my favourites".

And the Dynamic Dudes. That's unforgivable.

Demolition vs Edge/Christian vs The Rockers

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Demolition Smash pins Marty Jannety. He then gets dropkicked out of the ring and Edge and Christian do a conchairto on Axe for the 1, 2, 3.

 

Thanks.

[CanadianChris 0]

Demos eliminate the Rockers, then get beat by E&C.

[CanadianGuitarist 0]

Edge spears Michaels(the mark in me prevails ) to eliminate the Rockers, but Smash no sells a conChairto to pick up the win.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

Marty small packages Ax for the upset win.

 

Edge hits Shawn with ringbell during celebration. Christian hits Unprettier on Marty.

 

E & C over Rockers over Demolition

[Danville_Wrestling 0]

Demolition use Demolition Decapitation on Jannetty and eliminated the Rockers. Then, Ax avoids a conChairto, makes a hot tag to Smash, four-way brawl, and Smash pins Edge with a rollup after an Edge spear hits the ringpost.

[World's Worst Man 0]

The Rockers and E&C work together to eliminate Demolition. After the fall, E&C try to get the jump on The Rockers, but end up knocking into each other. Double superkicks, and double top-rope splashes later, The Rockers come out on top.

[Open the Muggy Gate 0]

The Rockers go to double crescent kick (GORILLA!) Ax, but Ax is all "Fuck that, I no-sell bitch" and double clotheslines them into a spinning oblivion. Marty gets the Decpatator, and the Rockers are eliminated.

 

E & C go for the conchairto, but Smash ducks it and shoulder blocks Christian as Ax lifts up Edge. Decapitation for Edge, but Christian sneaks in as Ax celebrates and rolls up Smash for the 3 count.

 

E & C WIN!

[MDH257 0]

Demolition wins, Rockers elimnated second, Edge & Christian eliminated first.

[Dobbs 3K 0]

Demolition and E&C gang up on the Rockers. Marty Jannetty gets pinned after a Demolition Decapitation after Shawn Michaels decides he's lost his smile and leaves for the locker room. Edge and Christian dominate Smash and Ax for a while before Edge misses a spear into the cornerpost. This allows Christian to be pinned following a piledriver from Ax. Demolition wins.

[pochorenella 0]

Marty with an out-of-nowhere Rocker Dropper on Smash for the first elimination.

 

Shawn superkicks Edge to take him out of the equation and both Rockers team up for a Rockerplex on Christian for the upset win.

[Guest Rrrsh]

Double Cresent Kick is aimed for Edge, but Edge ducks and it nails Ax. He is out cold. Smash Blind Chages and is backdropped over teh top rop by Chrsitian. All 4 men gang up and pin Ax.

 

Marty Janetty gets pinned by Christian, who pulls his tights for the win.

 

EC

Rockers

Demos

When I wake up tomorrow I'll set up the winner and the second match up can begin.

 

Sorry bout the delay.

[CanadianGuitarist 0]

Edge and Christian are your winners.

 

Today's matchup, picks due Sunday at midnite pacific:

 

The Freebirds vs. Money Inc. vs The Harts

[MDH257 0]

Hart Foundation wins, Freebirds eliminated second, Money Inc. eliminated first.

[CanadianChris 0]

Harts eliminate first the Freebirds, then Money Inc., in a total squash.

[Danville_Wrestling 0]

Bret gets the pin on Hayes after a Hart Attack, but IRS clocks Neidhart with the briefcase when DiBiase and Bret are brawling in the corner and DiBiase covers for the pin when the referee gets Bret out of the ring.

 

Winners: Money Inc.

[World's Worst Man 0]

Hart Foundation > Freebirds > Money Inc.

[gwf0704 0]

Brett Hart eliminates Michael Hayes by making Hayes tap out to the Sharpshooter. Hart stands up and is clotheslined over the top rope by IRS sending them both over the top rope. Terry Gordy, furious over being eliminated, decks Neidhart with a boot to the face which leaves Neidhart open for the Million Dollar Dream, to which Neidhart succumbs to. Winners : Money Inc.

[Guest Rrrsh]

Hayes gets hit with a Hart Attack 22 seconds in and is pinned.

 

Money Inc uses the Breifcase to get the pin, but the decision is reversed by a second ref. Bret then rolls up IRS and gets the win by pulling the tights.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

Money, Inc eliminates Freebirds first, then Hart Foundation

[CanadianGuitarist 0]

We have a winner.

 

The Harts in a close one(I'd forgotten what a mark I used to be for Money Inc.)

 

It should be an interesting squash in this one:

 

The Bulldogs vs. The Rock and Roll Express vs. Harlem Heat

[World's Worst Man 0]

Bulldogs > R&R > Harlem Heat

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

I think many people give Harlem Heat shit because of how lazy and lethargic Stevie Ray got towards 98-00.

 

Dudes, Stevie and Booker were THE team in WCW for many years. Stevie was nailing picture-perfect superkicks, and the team was running and keeping up with smaller, quicker teams and looking like they belonged (and many times, going OVER) against mai-event level teams like Sting & Luger, Steiners, etc.

 

I find the Bulldogs vastly overrated and Heat underrated. Don't hate on THEIR ability just because of the useless SLUG teams they were forced to constantly work in The Nasty Boys, Texas Rednecks, American Males, Public Enemy, Faces of Fear, Slater & Bunkhouse Buck, First Family, etc.

 

Anyways, my vote:

 

- Booker T pins Robert Gibson after Stevie superkicks Morton over the top rope and Heat deliver a double-team "Big Apple".

 

- Bulldogs defeat Heat when Smith catches Booker off the top rope with a powerslam and Dynamite lands a headbutt from the opposite corner.

 

Bulldogs over Heat over R n R

[IWD 0]

British Bulldogs > Rock & Roll Express > Harlem Heat

 

Cheers

[MDH257 0]

Bulldogs > Rock'n'Roll Express > Harlem Heat

 

You should post one round at a time, there might be more voters that way.
