The 50 Greatest Tag Team in WWE History,




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.”

The 20 Greatest Wrestling Factions of All-Time!


Inside Wrestling Magazine
Hello again wrestling fans. I just finished reading the June issue of Inside Wrestling Magazine. They had an article called The 20 Greatest Wrestling Factions of All-Time! I really enjoyed the article because I am a big fan of factions. If you follow these wrestling groups you will find that many of their members became top wrestling superstars, after the group is dismantle. Let’s pick apart one of the factions on the list, The Alliance. The members in this group read like a Wrestling All-stars team; Steve Austin, Booker T, RVD, Kurt Angle, DDP, Chavo Guerrero, Billy Kidman and The Dudley Boys, just to new a few. The Alliance was created 2001, for the purposes to taking over the WWE. All of the members were former wrestlers of WCW & ECW. Most of these wrestlers became top superstars in the WWE after their run as Alliance members was over.

The Four Horsemen 
The list named the Four Horsemen as the number one faction in wrestling, and I most agree with list, and in my opinion they were truly the best. When I was seven year old I remember watching the Horsemen taking out The Road Warriors. After being a witness to a cohesive unit like Horsemen beat down one of the most powerful men in wrestling, I became an instant wrestling fan for life. The leader and champion was Ric Flair. The enforcer or the muscle was Arn Anderson. The Technical wrestlers were Tully Blanchard and Ole Anderson. The Manager of the group was J.J. Dillon. These men worked together for one objective, which was to keep the World title on Ric Flair and capture all the gold in the NWA.

CM Punk
There was one faction that was featured on this list, which I didn’t agree with. The NEXUS was ranked number seven on the list, but they haven’t existed for too long and I haven’t seen them make a big impact on wrestling. With all that being said, if this list should ever be reprinted in the near future I may agree with NEXUS seventh place ranking because CM Punk is the new leader of the NEXUS and I am expecting huge things from this new faction.
 
Legion of Doom
This article is also very informative. Legion of Doom was a faction that was lead by Paul Ellering in Georgia Championship Wrestling. The members were Jake Roberts, King Kong Bundy, The Iron Sheik and The Road Warriors. The Road Warriors used the name L.O.D while they wrestled in the WWE.

Bret Hart’s wrestling bio


Bret Hart

Hello again wrestling fans, as I promised, here is Bret Hart’s wrestling bio.

The Hart Foundation
Bret Hart was born into the most famous family in Pro-wrestling history, the Hart’s.  He was trained in the Hart family dungeon by his promoter and father, Stu Hart, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Bret Hart joined his father’s wrestling promotion named Stampede Wrestling. He won numerous titles while in the promotion. The WWF (WWE) purchased Stampede Wrestling, in the 80’s from Stu Hart. Bret joined his brother in law Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart and formed The Hart Foundation, which are consider one of the best tag teams in wrestling history. They held the WWE tag team title only twice, but their title reign didn’t make them great.  The wrestling feuds between, The British Bulldogs, Legion of Doom (Road Warriors), Demolition, The Rockers, and The Nasty Boys, made them tag team icons.

Bret Hart
Bret also made his mark as a single competitor. He became Intercontinental Champion twice, by defeating Mr. Perfect and Rowdy Roddy Piper. His first WWE Championship was won, on October 12, 1992, you may ask why do I remember this date, it’s simple, he defeated my all time favorite wrestler “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair. Bret held the WWE title five times while in the WWE. Now we come to the biggest event in his career the Montreal Screw-Job. Let’s lay all the cards on the table, Bret Hart had already signed a contract with WCW, was also schedule to face Shawn Michaels at Survivor Series and appear on WCW Nitro a week later. I love the history of Pro-Wrestling and this why I am making the following statement. Throughout the history of pro-wrestling no wrestler has ever left their wrestling territory as champion to join another territory. Why should Bret be any different? (Canadian readers please don’t crucify me)Let me explain why Bret couldn’t take that title to WCW, on one episode of Monday Nitro the WWE women’s Champion Medusa, throw her title in a trash can. We all believe that Bret Hart would never do such a dastardly act.  If WCW got their hands on that title, they would be able to claim that they had the Undisputed or the un-beaten WWE Champion on their roster. This would have changed the landscape of Pro-wrestling. And that’s all I am going to say about that!

Bret Hart & Bill Bill Goldberg
Let’s continue the history lesson on wrestling. Bret was considered a baby face during the beginning of his WCW career, he then later turned heel when he helped Hulk Hogan defeat Randy “Macho Man” Savage, thus becoming a member of the NWO. His first Championship in WCW was the United States Championship; he held this title five times. He also held the WCW Tag Team Title with Bill Goldberg. Bret Became a WCW champion twice, before his wrestling career came to an end. During a match with Bill Goldberg, Bret suffered a severe concussion. He continued to wrestle for nine more months until his body couldn’t handle it anymore, and he suffered a major stroke. Bret Hart battled back from all of these challenges and returned to wrestling, but not as an active wrestler, but as a GM on Raw. Bret was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2006. Now he can truly say he is the best there was, the best there is and the best there ever will be.
The Hart Foundation
