    Following on from this week’s Old School WWF wrestler tournament, I’ve decided to up the ante and go bigger this time around with favorite Tag Team ever. This time I’ll be welcoming nominations (via PM only) and I’ll also be adding in some of the all time greats myself and... maybe some duds for the craic.

    So have a think about it and check back later on tonight because that’s when we’ll kick off the action.

    Ok so we're about to get started. I have chosen 64 teams from nominations and my own database. I had this planned with the idea of old school wrestling in mind so any teams that formed after the year 2000 aren't gonna be in this one. Might do that at a later date though if this goes well. Here are the rules.

    * One vote per round.
    * First to five advances.
    * If there aren't enough votes after 45 mins, leading entry wins.
    * If it's a tie, I'll cast deciding vote.
    * Reasons for your choice are needed to be valid.
    * All draws are random.

    First match is coming up in the next couple of minutes, have fun!

    Owen Hart & The Bulldog, was there a better British wrestler in the WWF/E than Davey Boy?

    British Bulldogs here in this Owen Hart off.

    Davey Boy by far the better partner.

    Owen and Davey. I think they complimented each other really well. And I just preferred Bulldog to Jarrett

    That's alright, there's loads of 80's and early 90's to come. Stay with it!

    Always preferred Owen and Jarrett. As I said in the singles match ups, I was never the biggest fan of Bulldog and I possibly underrate him a bit.

    Neither, either Owen and Yoko or Owen and Koko B Ware! Might accept Owen and Neidhart but the rest never!!!!

    Ok Owen and Davey Boy Smith

    4-1 to Owen against Owen. Although I suspect a few Owen goals were scored.

    A good opening tussle but blood is thicker than water on this occasion. Absolute mesh of styles next up.

    Midnight Express.

    Foley/Jack/Dude Love etc far better known for his singles career than a dalliance with Funk wearing tights on his head.

    Should be up there amongst the favorites imo (Express that is, not Chainsaw Jack)

    Charlie and Jack were a bit of fun.

    But for serious tag-team wrestling - it has to be The Midnight Express. Thank you, f*ck you, bye.

    Midnight express easily as a tag team. Terry funk is a singles wrestling legend but this is a tag team thing. I prefer the condrey and eaton version of the midnights but Stan lane was good too.

    Midnight Express for sure. Funk and Mick were somewhat thrown together whereas Midnight are bona-fide "Mount Rushmore" tag wrestlers

    Is it ? Condrey and eaton are the best known version of the team of the three versions I've seen. There were the original midnight express of condrey and Rhodes, then eaton joined condrey, and Stan lane joined when condrey went AWOL.

    Van Dam and Sabu.

    I prefer them over the lumbering Natural Disasters.

    The disasters are they were a tag team and not two guys thrown together.

    Never saw RVD and Sabu as a proper tag-team so Natural Disasters by default.
