It is funny how the WWE
puts out a list of The 50 Greatest Tag Team in WWE History, when in actuality
they don’t care about the division anymore. The last time the WWE had a good
tag team division was the “Attitude Era”. Charlie Hass one half of “The World
Greatest Tag Team”, currently wrestling for ROH, explains it the best “now they
just throw two guys together and they put a couple of shitty belts on them that
look terrible. Those belts look like pennies.”
I must agree with Hass the
titles are the second shittiest belts the WWE has ever made, the first one of
course is the WWE spinner title, made for John Cena. The list itself was poorly
made, there are teams that deserve to be in the top ten, but can barely crack
the top twenty such as The Steiner (Rick and Scott) who were ranked 41, and The
Brain Buster (Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard) who were ranked 28 on the list. I have to disagree with the
number one ranked tag team on the list, Edge & Christian, simply because
there are teams that deserve this honor instead, such as the Legion Of Doom,
The Hart Foundation, The British Bulldog, and Demolition. Don’t get me wrong
Edge & Christian are a phenomenal tag team, they have held the WWE titles 7
times, But they wrestled when the division was becoming stale, and the competition
minimal. Versus the late 80’s and 90’s
when there were teams like The Nasty Boys, Money, Inc., Powers of Pain, and The
Blackjacks, to compete with the Legion of Doom, who would be my pick for the
number one slot on this list. The division was at its highest peak; during the
late 80’s and early 90’s so it should be these teams that wrestled during this era,
who should hold the top ten slots. Here is the list, if you would rewrite it,
which teams would be in the top 5?
