Classic Tag Teams

In honor of the recent release of the Allied Powers: Greatest Tag Teams DVD I thought I'd put together a little list of some classic wrestling tag teams. This is certainly not a complete list, nor is it really in any order of importance. These are just some teams that were either influential, groundbreaking, or just plain entertaining to watch. Let's get started!

The Bushwhackers
Luke and Butch, collectively known at The Bushwhackers were a sort of fake-Australian duo with some pretty wild and comedic antics. You of course can't forget the hilarious "Bushwhacker-walk" Check it out HERE



The Natural Disasters
Who could forget these guys? Earthquake and Typhoon made up The Natural Disasters, basically two mean fat guys. Check em out HERE and HERE





The New Age Outlaws
Oh you didn't know? Your ass better call somebodaaaay. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages. D-Generation X proudly brings to you it's (former, soon-to-be...etc) WWF TAAAAAG TEEEEAAAAM CHAMPIIIOOOONS OF THE WOOOOOORLD. The Roaddog Jesse James, The Bad Ass Billy Gun, the NEW AGE OUTLAWS. Back in the late 90s during the "Raw is War" era of the WWF, these guys, along with the rest of the DX crew were part of some of the most entertaining and memorable gimmicks, feuds, and segments in the history of the WWF. Definitely one of my (many) personal favorites.



The Hardys (Hardy Boyz)
As a tag team Matt and Jeff Hardy had some of the most innovative,exciting, and all around crazy tag-team matches ever. They took the use of tables and ladders to completely new heights. Additionally they have both gone on to have successful singles careers as well. Check out some clips of their matches HERE



The Headbangers

Next I give you....Mosh and Thrasher, collectively known as The Headbangers. These two guys were another tag team to come out of the Raw is War, late 90's era. Basically they were two "alternative" metalhead, headbanger (hence the name) fellows with some pretty damn cool tag team moves if i do say so myself. Apparatly they are ranked #2 on the list of 15 superstars who "overstayed" their welcomes in the WWF....i dunno, i thought they were pretty good. Check out a match with The Hardys HERE



The Rock `n' Sock Connection
There's no way I could have left out this one. The union of two of the greatest superstars in WWF/WWE history, The Rock and Mick Foley (Mankind) as "The Rock and Sock Connection" was pure genius. The juxtaposition of their personas made for some very entertaining matches and interviews. Check out the union HERE.



The Rock's Birthday



The Dudleys (Team 3-D)
Buh Buh Ray and D-Von Dudley are to my knowledge the most decorated tag team in all of pro wrestling history. They have held every major tag team title from every federation, including: ECW, WWF/WWE, WCW, NWA, TNA, All Japan, HUSTLE and the New Japan World Tag Team Titles. If that isn't saying enough, they tend to have some pretty amazing Tables, TLC (Tables Ladders and Chairs, and Street Fight matches. Check out a tables match HERE



Triple Threat TLC Match HERE (definitely worth watching this whole thing)



The Legion of Doom (The Road Warriors)
Aaaaaaahhhhhh WHAT A RUSH !!! No tag team list can be made without mentioning the Leigion of Doom. With their patented facepaint and shoulder pads, Hawk and Animal were one of the most dominant tag teams in the history of wrestling. They paved the way for many superstars who followed and should always be recognized as one of the best tag teams to ever do it. Check out THIS six man tag match including the Road Warriors and the Ultimate Warrior verses another classic tag team/trio Demolition. (take notice of the hilarious promos at the beginning)



Short match with a nice Doomsday Device at the end, oh yeah and Sunny is bangin'. Check it out HERE
