I'd say it has to do with the age profile of boardsies. I know for myself I view that era as a golden one for tag team wrestling, of which TLC was a major part. I remember the Road Warriors etc., but was too young to really appreciate them. EDIT: and this is about favourites, rather than the "best" tag teams, which explains some of the shocking results.

Alfred Borden

E+C

thebostoncrab

Edge and Christian for sure

Bounty Hunter

Head cheese


by which I mean E and C

Insect Overlord

Going against the trend here. I loved Team Xtreme. Their music, their movement, their ridiculously risky spots.

Matt and Jeff for me.

E+C

Alfred Borden

The Hardy Boyz

Professional Griefer

Hardys for me.

Neither are even close to the Steiners, Road Warriors or Team 3D.

Close how?

Both teams had a great following and made a massive impact in a time when WWE was part of pop culture, well deserving of their places in this type of poll.

The Showstopper

The Hardys would have been my favourite at the time and they get my vote here

I'd have to side with team Xtreme here myself. Their tables match with the Dudley Boys at Royal Rumble 2000 is one of my favourite memories. Jeff hitting the Swanton bomb off the balcony with the NYC taxi in the background lives long in my memory. Plus Lita was cool.

Hardy Boyz

gerTheGreat

Hardys

the groutch

E&C

Alfred Borden

10-7 to E+C i think

beakerjoe

Edge and Christian for me

Loved both teams though, but as ive got older Id prefer E and C

ShagNastii

The Brood boys beat the Hardyz. Looks like the final will be a bit of an R Rated peep show. The next matchup is a real barney. The APA VS Team 3D. Fascinating to think the success' even though they were great out and out Tag teams that all seperate members achieved in all cases.

the groutch

at what stage were LoD eliminated btw?

beakerjoe

The got beat by HeadCheese in the first round upset

beakerjoe

The APA, think ill be on my own though

Omackeral

Not on your own Joe

I'm gonna go for Farooq and Bradshaw, the APA too. Both members were going absolutely nowhere when they were teamed up under The Jackyl as Hell's Henchmen. From there they found success as Undertakers Acolytes , his punishers for the Ministry of Darkness.

They found their greatest success as blue collar guns for hire. An absolute riot backstage with their 'office', they were also a force to be reckoned with in the ring.

thebostoncrab

Dudley's 100%. I love the APA though, and I'm delighted to see that they made it to the semi finals, but simply put Bubba and D'Von are one of the elite tag teams that have done it all. In terms of "the best", I'd rank them above LOD any day.

connemara man

The Dudleys for me.

the APA were great but the Dudleys for me were the tagteam

Bounty Hunter

Loved the APA, really glad to see they have done so well but The dudleys are my pick to win the thing and get my vote here

Angron

Dem Damn Dudleys.

bigron2109

The Dudleys for me as they had some spectacular matches with the Hardys and Edge and Christian.

But i did love APA And their interviews and Skits too.

A Brad Maddox Guy

I loved APA but I gotta go with the Dudleys.

Machismo Fan

Dudleys by a long way, honestly I'm a little surprised the APA made it this far.

E&C and Dudleys for final
