Favorite Wrestling Tag Team Tournament

Soul Patrol. Groundbreaking tag team.

Igotadose

Cowboy Bob and Rowdy Roddy Piper. Original Wrestlemania-1 gangstas! Some of us old enough to have watched the first Wrestlemania live on PPV!

Agreed with this. Though not old enough really:P

Still best team in it by far

Did I miss Hurricane and Rosey??

They formed after 2000 so weren't included I'm afraid.

15 minutes remain in the Last Chance Battle Royal, get your shout in!

Well 35 years ago today it was an 1hr and 12 minutes away from starting.

Omackeral

Time is up and we have a draw between Soul Patrol and the tandem of Orton/Piper. A per the rules, deciding vote lies with the OP so I'm gonna go for Soul Patrol's Rocky Johnson and Tony Atlas. Ground breaking, as mentioned above, being a decent reason but also would consider Cowboy Bob and Roddy Piper more as singles stars.


That concludes the first round of action. We should be seeing tighter matches in the next stage of the contest. Hopefully you can stick around!

Omackeral

We stick with 5 votes and 45 minutes for Round 2 matches. I do expect some closer battles here. Let's see what the random draw gave us for the opening bout...

T & A



VS

Demolition

salmocab

Demolition great team and good characters

Necro

T & A mainly for Trish but also cos I liked them a lot.

Dr Turk Turkelton

Demolition for me as well for the same reasons ad Salmocab.

Itssoeasy

Demolition and it's not close of a call. Bill eadie or ax is a hall of fame talent by any metric while smash or Barry darsow is no slouch either.

While I prefer T & A, Demolition are the better tag team.


It's quite easy to be objective.

Chuck Noland

Tits & A...... I mean T&A for two big reasons

wrestlemaniac

Demolition are the better team but I enjoyed T n A more, so Trish and the boys get my vote

Itssoeasy

also most people might remember Barry darsow as the repo man in WWF after him being in demolition. Hes from the wrestling Mecca of robinsdale, Minnesota which is home to kurt hennig, rick rude, tom zenk, John nord who was the bezerker, and Nikita koloff amongst others.

This is to decide your favorite tag team so don't feel bad if you vote for one you just happened to like better! It's all good.

Ah I'm gonna stick to voting for the better tag team, chief.

I couldn't in good conscience end up in a scenario where I'm voting for The Bodydonnas over Tully & Arn.

He can't, it's a slippery slope, he will be voting for The Bodydonnas next

Beat me to it

Omackeral

That was a lot closer than I would have thought! Demolition squeak through. This could be more one sided perhaps.

Powers of Pain



VS

Midnight Express

The Midnight Express. Powers of Pain were cool but not in the same galaxy as the Midnight.

Necro

Midnight Express, top team tbf.

Powers of Pain, not so much.

wrestlemaniac

Midnight Express both for quality and entertainment

Itssoeasy

The midnight express thank you and good night.

Igotadose

Fuji's guys still get my vote. Powers of Pain to go through

Omackeral

The Midnights book their spot in Round 3. The following is an all-WCW affair for your consideration.

Harlem Heat



VS

The Hollywood Blondes

Igotadose

Harlem Heat! Booker T!

Chuck Noland

Can you dig it SUCCKAA

Harlem Heat for me

Dr Turk Turkelton

Im going for The Hollywood Blondes in this close match.

Necro

Harlem Heat in this one for me. Austin with hair is weird.

wrestlemaniac

Harlem Heat, but as has been said, a close one

Itssoeasy

Hollywood blondes who as a team were better wrestlers overall than booker and stevie ray. Also this was great mat wrestling Austin and pillman was still mobile in 1992 and 1993.

TheBigEvil

Harlem Heat Suckaaaaaaaaaaa !

BTW, delighted Demolition made it through !

The Hollywood Blondes. I enjoyed Harlem Heat but the Blondes were just more enjoyable. Great tag team.

Bleh! too late.

Omackeral

Harlem Heat win 5-3 and march on. International incident coming up...

Owen Hart and the British Bulldog



VS

The Foreign Legion

TheBigEvil

This is a tough one....

But I'm gonna go for The Foreign Legion

Necro

Foreign Legion as my feelings of 'meh' for Davey Boy raise their ugly heads again.

salmocab

Liked both but foreign legion as I do like heels

Igotadose

Foreign Legion! Russia... Number One... Iran...Number One. USA... Acch, pthui! (to quote the Iron Sheikh!)

Itssoeasy

Foreign Legion for me. I mean they did nothing amazing but they did the simple things well. I mean this day 35 years ago they competed for the tag titles and did a great job and it's my favourite match of wrestlemania 1 bar the main event.

The singing the soviet anthem in MSG in the 1980's was a simple thing but it got great heat. Also having the Hollywood fashion plate Freddie blassie in your corner helps.

Let the record show that I would have voted for The Foreign Legion.

Great memory. Mine not so good - just a few grams of marijuana, but in 1987 enough to get arrested.

Omackeral

A drubbing for the brothers-in-law. I'd be fearful of another one here tbh.

Soul Patrol

Legion of Doom
