The Green Meanie Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Haku and Arn Anderson teaming together in 1990 WWF would of been awesome. I could have sworn I read somewhere that they had a makeshift tag team for one or two matches around that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go2Sleep Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I'd also like to see a southern brawling team of Stan Hansen and Bradshaw. Daniel Bryan could have a lot of great potential partners. I'd like to see him with Regal or Finlay (or Benoit if you're ok with that) Come to think of it, it's too bad Regal and Finlay spent most of their careers fighting each other (as awesome as it was) instead of making a badass Euro-shoot team. I think they were briefly aligned in Booker T's stable in 2006, but can you imagine late 90s Finlay and a sober Regal with more of a Wade Barrett gimmick than a blue blood gimmick?

dok Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 So many close calls, but there's only one best tag team that never was. You need HBK from before he became selfish, being flung from post to post and selling like a trooper. Then, like some bellowing half-blind idiot god, Stan Hansen comes in to clear house. They can even have matching cowboy hats and work a homoerotic big brother/little brother routine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranesi Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Burchill and Fandango. But it should be one of those teams where they don't like each other. And Burchill keeps getting tangled up in Fandango's sign thingy in the ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdangerously Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 So, whose idea of a dream tag team is Marc Mero & Tommy Dreamer? I'd watch that, but only if Mero brought back Johnny B. Badd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwoy2j Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 So, whose idea of a dream tag team is Marc Mero & Tommy Dreamer? The rationale that the magazine article gave was that they were both good looking guys who were a lot tougher than they looked which I guess could apply to the Dreamer of 1997. He did manage to snag Beulah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwoy2j Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 I guess some of those teams look weird b/c there's not a discernible reason they should be together. Here's what I remember from the article for some of them. Keep in mind this is 1997 and it was written in kayfabe : Sid/Hall-both underachievers as Hall never won a world title and Sid never had a lengthy reign. Both big guys who used a powerbomb variant. The article predicted that they'd have short-term success but would implode due to Sid's temper. Malenko/Taz and Owen/Eddy--Superior technical/aerial wrestlers who don't get much recognition due to their lack of size. Mongo/Dr. Death--former football players Nash/Hawk--two big guys who relied on sheer size and force of personality to climb to the top. Luger/Ahmed--two muscleheads. Magazine said it would likely fail b/c it would turn into a daily lifting competition and both guys have huge egos. Luger's team with Sting succeeded b/c Sting could put up with Luger but Ahmed likely wouldn't. I think the others are pretty self-explanatory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 My dream tag team is Dick Murdoch and Stan Hansen or at least Hansen and Harley Race James Dick Murdock & Stan Hansen vs. Antonio Inoki & Tatsumi Fujinami (NJ 12/10/81) I'm pretty sure that exists on tape, actually.

scraylo187 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 When I was in high school I always really wanted Ken Shamrock and Farooq to have a tag run as total bad asses that everyone was scared of, and when Farooq went with Bradshaw instead I was like 'eh, this works too.'

Skeeball Wizard Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Harper and Cesaro holding the tag belts for a year and feuding almost exclusively with high-flyers. A million times yes to this. Imagine those two vs. returning Bourne and Kofi, Matadores, any combo of Neville, Sami Zayn, Tyler Breeze, Justin Gabriel, Tyson Kidd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manzk Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 The cool thing about tags is that you can make great tags with good/solid workers who understand tag team wrestling, but when you put two great wrestlers on a tag the tag ends up never being as great as both guys individually.
