What was the best tag team in Wrestling? The only tag team of today worth mentioning is the Dudley Boys, manily because of their success in both the WWF and ECW.

But my vote goes to Demolition. Cool Gimmick, No frills brawling, they looked cool and they get the job done. funny how originally they were brought in as a rip off of the Road Warriors.. but in my opinion they superceded them,

The New Age Outlaws were just great... somethin about them really did it for me. Their gimmick really was a big part of me getting into wrestling. No one could capture me in a gimmick quite like them.

How can you have a greatest tag-team survey and leave out the Hart Foundation? Other teams worth noting:

The British Bulldogs
Harlem Heat
The Steiner Bros
Money Inc
The Executioners

I realize you had to leave some off due to space constraints. these are all I can think of.

Agree with Papa Shango........think Demolition are the best I've seen in 18 odd years of watching wrestling. They were evreything a tag team should be....they seemed like they belonged as a team, obviously had a very similar look, had a team finishing manouver, and a simple but effective gimmick.

One of my favourite Demolition moments was in the Royal Rumble one year when they drew one and two, and promptly went at it with one another.

Honourable mentions to British Bulldogs and the Dudleys.

IT`S STILL REAL TO ME DAMNIT!

I had to go with the Rockers here. Sure, they never officially held the tag straps, but they didn't need to. No other tag team in the history of the WWF/E or the WCW/NWA had the continuity of Jannetty & Michaels. They had the best timing and chemistry, great double-team offense, and complemented each other the way a tag team should.

This isn't to say that the other teams on the list aren't great. My runner-up choice is Edge & Christian - especially during their 5-second-posing, crazy-ass-sunglasses-wearing, totally-reeking-of-awesomeness run as heel champions. They lacked in one area in which the Rockers stood above everyone else: double team moves. Their stacked superplex was an awesome move that they didn't do nearly enough, but aside from that, they really didn't do a lot of double teams.

Other honorable mentions are the Midnight Express, the Hart Foundation, LOD/Road Warriors, Demolition...the list goes on & on. Tag team wrestling needs desperately to make a comeback, because the current crop of teams can't hold a candle to the old school teams.
