Skywalker1976 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Tito Santana and Koko B. Ware......just kidding. I agree with what everybody said here. What do you guys thing about the Rockers? They never (at least officially) won any titles but I think they were a very good tag team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acidburned Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 For me tag teams can be split into two categories my favourites from when I was younger and didn't realise wrestling was scripted and my favourites from now. When I was young the best tag teams were Demolition, Legion of Doom and of course The Mega Powers. Now when I look back and at the present day I would say Dudleyz or most combinations of the Harts are who I would consider the best tag team ever. For some reason although I hated them when I was young I like seeing Money Inc wrestle on the old wrestling occasionaly on Sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterHilton Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 And the fact that you called them "LOD" ripoffs says a lot. Masked Superstar (aka Ax) was hardly a jobber, the guy worked on top with everybody in the WWF and in Georgia. Krusher Kruschev (aka Smash) was an upper midcarder working in Mid-Atlantic with the Russians and top teams like the Road Warriors. You're assuming I don't know that stuff because I referred to them as the LOD? Ellering called his stable the Legion of Doom. Fine. they're the Road Warriors. It doesn't change the fact that both Ax and Smash were not known at all beyond the regional (Krusher Kruschev lol generic 80s Russian) level until they ripped off someone else's gimmick and -since Vince couldn't sign the real thing at the time - were pushed to the moon. I'm not saying they're terrbile. But IMO they aren't "great" and shouldn't be considered anywhere near the level of the Midnight Express, RnR express, the Midnight Rockers Hell during their heyday, I would've preferred to watch the Islanders, The Bees, the Rougeaus... Edit: One more thing, Darsow wasn't even 30 yet when Demolition won the tag titles- so there goes your middle aged comment Fine..so Smash only looked paunchy, middle aged, and balding.

PeterHilton Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 The Rockers entire career is overshadowed by their break up. Midnight Rockers in the AWA might have been the best tag team no one in America ever saw. Their feud with the Rock n Roll Express was killer.

shadowmaster Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 Austin and Pillman Tully and Arn Arn and Ole The Road Warriors Midnight Express (Lane and Eaton version) British Bulldogs Steiners Harlem Heat Doom and one that I really liked but probably would never make anybody elses list: Samoan Swat Team Who was in Doom? Wasnt that Ron Harris and Ron Simmons? The Rockers were my favorite tag team - their matches were always exciting. What was the name of the one tag team with Andre the Giant and the one Samoan?

Purple Cowboy Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Who was in Doom? Wasnt that Ron Harris and Ron Simmons? Butch Reed with Ron Simmons What was the name of the one tag team with Andre the Giant and the one Samoan? The one with Haku? That was Colossal Connection I think.

Dragonmack Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 You left out the greatest team of all time! One so great they had to burn out fast! POWER AND GLORY!!!! Perfect Paul Roma and Hercules Hernandez!! They were the real life version of the AWESOME ALLIANCE!! Seriously though, I always thought that they were a team with potential and I loved their finishing move of Hernandez suplexing a guy into the middle of the ring just in time to be greeted by a top rope splash from Roma.

Purple Cowboy Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Remember, the real Midnight Express didn't have Bobby Eaton. It was Condrey, Randy Rose & Norvill Austin (sp?). Minnesota Wrecking Crew The Nightmares (Ken Wayne & Danny Davis) Doom Ricky Steamboat & Jay Youngblood Paul Jones & Baron von Raschke Jack & Jerry Brisco Harlem Heat Outsiders Professor Tanaka & Mr. Fuji Wow, great Nightmares mention.

bookerman Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Miracle Violence Connection - Dr Death Steve Williams and Terry BAM BAM Gordy - guys that were big, tough, and could wrestle If you wanna go puro, Misawa/Kobashi, the Holy Demon Army (Kawada/Taue), and Chono/Tenzan are pretty choice teams.

Terminator980 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Why wouldn't you call them the Big Gunns? I remember on an episode of HeAT The Big Show was asking McMahon about a tag team name. "I don't care what you call it! For all I care it could be called Double Trouble Crap on a Stick!" Maybe no exact quote but I remember laughing to myself quietly.

Undertaker666 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Demolition (already been argued, but way more talented that LOD/Road Warriors in my opinion) (awesome entrance theme too ) Brothers of Destruction (come on, the then non-jobber Kane and Undertaker - should've been unbeatable) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurningHamster Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 The greatest tag team ever is the former GWF Tag Team Champs "The English Lords" who, despite being announced as champions never actually existed and were written out as having been injured in an accident on the Autobahn. They are closely followed by Joe Savoldi and Al Perez as "The Rock 'n' Roll Rockers" who are almost as awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonmack Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 That does sound like a good team. Didnt Sting and Lex Luger team up at one time? Does anyone remember their team? They teamed up several times, and even won the Jim Crockett Tag tournament once, but they didn't have a name other than Sting & Luger that I ever remember them using. Luger and Barry Windham had a short lived team called 'The Twin Towers' but that only lasted a month and was the set up for Windham turning on Luger and joining the Four Horsemen.

praguepride Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I'm not sure if they had a name in CWF but when they went to WWF they were the US Express. Tell me their catch phrase was something like "Special Delivery!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonmack Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I don't even think they got to speak much back then. But I remember them being dubbed the US Express because they were feuding with the Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff. Before that they were just Windham & Rotundo.
