Well it's time for another top 10...this time Tag Teams

This was a tough one too, sooo many great teams through out time...where to start

10) Demolition Axe & Smash...while Vinny was trying to rip-off the Road Warriors, they over the time in the WWF had some pretty good runs as Tag Team Champs (when they had good story lines)

9) The Dudley Boyz...coming from the ECW, they revived the tag team situation in wrestling (which had died off in the latter part of the 90's), bringing "extreme" wrestling to the main stream fans..

8) Harlem Heat-Stevie Ray & Booker T...10 time WCW tag team champs, if it weren't for Stevie's chronic injuries & the NWO story line they would have been higher on the list, but it worked out for Boooker!

7) Edge & Christian-Hardy Boyz (tie) you can't put one ahead of the other...both of these teams were involved the some of the most extreme tag team matches of all time (TLC 1 & 2) with the Dudley's they made for some of the greatest "bumps" in the history of wrestling

6) The Fabulous Freebirds (Michael PS Hayes, Terry (BammBamm) Gordy, Buddy Roberts, & Jimmy-Jam Garvin) These guys came up with the Freebird Rule which allowed any 2 of them to defend the titles, also were the first to do a music video (Bad Street USA). They had the idea first...Vinny just ran with it...

5) Rock'n'Roll Express (Ricky Morton & Robert Gibson) tied with The Mid-night express & The Rocker (Shawn Micheals & Marty Jannetty) While the Express were the start all of them were styled the same way, all were multiple time champs in every organization they were with, all fought the top teams of the times & did compete against each other as well...

4) The Hart Foundation & The British Bulldogs While 3/4 members were all family (which made the matches between them that much better) these 2 teams (along with The Killer Bees) were an important part of tag team wrestling in the 80's for the WWF.

3) Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard...The Brainbusters, This team has been called the Backbone of the greatest stable of wrestling talent ever assembled...The Four Horsemen!!! To be called that you have to something, like win titles in every organization they were in...the Anderson's have trained some of today's greats as well... inside the ring the 2 of them were a well oiled machine.

2) The Steiner Brothers...these guys won everything everywhere they went, NWA, WCW, WWF, New Japan, the storylines they had in WCW were great (Jeff you remember when they both had that feud over Woman & Scott got thrown from the limo?)

1) The Road Warriors...AWA, NWA, WCW, WWF, New Japan..in all about 20 titles...I remember the first time I saw them, gawd they were awesome!!!...they were a revolution in tag team wrestling, they were the first "Extreme" wrestlers (remember the scaffold match between them & the Midnight Express?)

Honourable mentions (in no particular order)

 

The Outsiders (while they were together late in their careers, they were the best on the mic)

Brothers of destruction Taker & Cane...while they aren't a regular team, when they do get together...they lived up to their name!!

The New Age Outlaws...many titles, great storylines (remember the invasion of WCW, that was hilarious) in ring they were great & very close to being on the list

DOOM... Ron Simons & Butch Reed

Rock & Sock connection...well you've got 2 of the best talkers ever, in ring it was a funny

The Wild Samoans (Afa & Sika) The first Big man team with the speed of the luchadores
