    Ok, the tag divison on both Raw and Smackdown are in shambles at the moment. But looking back before the brand extention, the tag division was on fire and not just in the last 5 years, or in WWE.

    So who do u think is the greatest tag team of all time?

    There should have been an "other" option seeing as there's so many great tag teams you missed.

    Demolition?
    The Rockers?
    The Freebirds?

    I still stand by Demolition as the greatest of all time, but seeing as you forgot them (how, I'll never understand), i'll vote for the Harts as close second if not a tie.

    I loved the 'Hart Foundation' with Bret 'Hitman' Hart and Jim 'The Anvil' Neidhart. I think it was Jimmy 'Mouth of the South' Hart who managed them. They were class!

    My Bad...

    There were a few teams I wanted to also Include that I liked.

    Ultimate/Mega powers
    Italian Stallians
    Wild Samonas
    Head Shrinkers
    The Rockers was one

    and of course TnA...
    :rolleyes:

    I just counldnt resist putting in Lo' Down. In fairness though, before they were in that crappy Anti-American Soudi Gimmick, they were actually pretty good. Not the bets but hey, they were good....

    anyone remember the can-am connection? or power & glory.

    Yep, Can-Am Connection were Rick Martel and Tom Zenk, but Zenk left shortly after they were formed due to a cash dispute so Martel was paired with Tito Santana to form Strike Force.

    Power and Glory were Hercules Hernandez Anderson and Paul Roma (of Young Stallions Fame), they never got over (and considering Roma was beaten by a clothes line at the 1990 Survivor Series, it's no wonder why) and Hercules was on his way out anyway. He looked well out of shape by the time P&G were even formed.

    Still say their finisher was awesome (for it's time) :)

    is there anything u dont know?

    Loads, especially when it comes to the likes of trigonometry, quantum physics and the life and times of Celine Dion :)

    what about the new age outlaws? Billy Gunn and the Road Dogg were class until Billy got the bad injury


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,461 ✭✭✭NeroTheExtreme


    The problem with the Outlaws is that one had mic skills and no in ring talent, and the other was semi decent in the ring and no mic skills at all.

    By the time Rumble 2000 came along and they reformed, the Outlaws were as stale as last weeks loaf. As part of DX, they were great, but once 99 came along and DX split, that was that.

    Not enough to warrant them as one of the greatest in my honest opinion. Fun while they lasted, but history, they certainly did not make.

    A thread called the greatest tag team of all time and you don't even mention "the worlds greatest tag team" ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,461 ✭✭✭NeroTheExtreme


    Thats gotta be the worst joke i've heard since the XFL :P

    Has to be The Hart Foundation!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,221 ✭✭✭Davey Devil


    The Rockers for me. When I was a kid I was well pissed off when the split.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,165 ✭✭✭Hanza


    Ya Know....
    Im so surprised y'all havent given the Hardyz any praise. Saviours of the 2000 to 2002 tag team devision. If its a topic of makinh history.... you cannot deny what they did for the wwe record books.

    I myself wouldnt knock the Worlds greatest tag team. I think in time they will set their mark firmly in concrete. Their distinguishing fact IMO is the fact that they dont seem like they are gonna split or fude in the near future. They are the only men at the mo keeping the tag devision alive.

    As a matter of fact, all the titles seem to be very meaningless at the moment. Has anyone noticed that. I asked a learned wrestling fan the other night who the Heavy weight cahmp was and they said: HHH, no Goldberd, no HHH. Each title seems to have about 3 or 4 contenders the most t the mo.

    out of the options given, it would be the harts. but i would have liked to have voted for the rockers.

    is it just me or is there a lot of bret hart nostalgia around at the moment?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,165 ✭✭✭Hanza


    why not? :)

    Bret was just, awwwwh, what word can u use to capture his coolness. My childhood favourite anyway. Plus its comming up the WM. And if y'all are like me, your watching lots of WM history or recap videos to get in to the zone for XX, and you cant help but gaze apon Hart in awe at his classic bouts on these historic events.

    i voted for e and c, it realy took heels like them to revamp the tag devision in 2000 to 2002 the hardies wouldnt have got as far if it wearnt for them.

    i didnt see much of the hart foundation but loved breth hart when he was in the wwe

    I do give the Hardyz a lot of credit, i just think there were a lot better tag teams before their time.

    In general, the tag division has been going nowhere for the last two years. I gave up hope.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 947 ✭✭✭LanceStorm

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,461 ✭✭✭NeroTheExtreme


    Was watching the 1991 Royal Rumble last night, it's opener stole the damn show. The Rockers Vs. The (new) Orient Express (Who had previously wrestled as Bad Company in the AWA). Worth checking out if you can get your mits on it.
