I wish WWE's tag division was in a good state right now. I was thinking about classic tag matches I've seen, and there's potential there now. But it's just not happening as much as I'd like. Still, I'm gonna add some my ponderances to the forum..

As raised in another post, the last great period of tag wrestling in WWE was on Smackdown, 2002/2003 time, when there were the teams of Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit, Edge and Rey Mysterio and Los Guerreros feuding over the belts. The matches between these teams were fantastic, and in particular, the night Los Guerreros won the belts at Survivor Series was an all time classic.

The New Age Outlaws were a fantastic team. I'm not so keen on their whole TNA reincarnation, but in the WWE they kicked ass.. the catchphrases, the tag chemistry, they had it all.

I'm excited about the World's Greatest Tag Team reuniting on Raw - I hope they win the belts before too long, these guys are the standard bearers of tag teams on Raw. Screw Cryme Tyme, give Haas and Benjamin the belts.

The Hart Foundation were a fantastic blend - Hart, the wonderous ring technician, Neidhart, the strong ox with a smash mouth arsenal. On the Bret Hart DVD, they were a team just thrown together by booknig staff, and Bret told Neidhart how he really wanted to make it work, so they spent hours together, refining the gimmick, the look and the chemistry until they became a really good team. And it shows - one of the best there is, best there was.. excuse the pun.

I'll let someone else cover Hardys/E&C/Dudleys.

I probably covered this to death on the 10 great feuds thread.

Additionally to those mentioned there, I don't recall the events of the feuds so much, but I do recall all of the following being tremendous tag team matches -

Davey Boy Smith & Owen Hart -vs- Stone Cold & Shawn Michaels (when Hart Foundation
duo lost the belts to the feuding Austin and Michaels)

Stone Cold & Hunter -vs- Benoit & Jericho (the match didn't end so great, due to Hunters injury, but the heat and build for it were awesomeness)

Worlds Greatest Tag Team -vs- Rey Rey & Kidman. PPV match I think, it was just very very good.

The Rockers reunion match. Lol, I'm such an 80's mark. Was it LaResistance they fought, I don't even know, I was too busy marking out for this naff reunion a year or two back.

I'm sure there are loads more. I'm wracking my mind to think of a good New Age Outlaws feud, I loved them back in the day, but I can't for the life of me think of any great feuds or matches (other than the bigger "whole of DX versus whole of the Nation feud)

The Smackdown Six Fued (Los Guerreros, Benoit & Angle, Edge & Mysterio). Great matches and intriguing stories.

Los Conquistadors......well all E&C. Si! Dos!

And of course the TLC matches and the Ladder match at Wrestlemania 17, which im not sure but i think David was there.

Demolition vs The Hart Foundation - I know many didn't like these matches but i always loved them. Demolition still are my favourite tag team and just having them against Bret & Anvil really lit up the screen.

Los Conquistadors were excellent (when they were shown on screen with E&C also there.....one of the unmasked guys was "Fallen Angel" himself!)

It's funny you should mention WM17. I don't know if I've ever told any of you, but I actually ("zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"..........the rest of Monks)

Haha, I remember hearing that - The WWE had a worker like Daniels as a fake Conquistador and make one appearance on Jakked. Fools!!

Rock 'n' Sock for the comedy, and E&C, classic comedy tag teams.

I would have to say my favorite team would be Harlem Heat. I liked some of their feuds with the outsiders in the earlier nWo /WCW days. I was also a big fan of the 80's and loved the Towers of Power (Hogan and Macho)... But if you want to talk about who I think was the top feud in my book....

Sting/Luger vs 4 Horsemen (Flair/Arn Anderson)

Classic matches to be seen there... the greatest tandom in history being the 4 Horsemen... any feud with them was an instant classic.
