The answer here is obvious...
SPOILER: show But seriously, I'm going to go with the underrated Badd Company. Diamond and Tanaka worked very well together and had a couple of awesome double team finishes (Superkick into a German Suplex and Slingshot into a DDT). Wild Bunch is also underrated. If they got along with management better and hit their prime about 5 years later than they did, they would have made for an interesting fit in the WWF tag division. Seriously, Wild Bunch vs Dudley Boyz would have been a brawl. Wild Bunch vs Hardyz (seriously, what was with that era and using 'z's instead of 's's?) would have featured some high flying antics, and not just from Matt and Jeff. |

Honestly don't know enough tag teams that I really dug. It'd be b/w the Calgary connection teams, British Bulldogs and Hart Foundation. Consistent great work between the two teams. I found any matches involving the two teams no matter who they faced (especially pre Dynamite injury) were so fast paced, crisp and intense, with lots of drama.

Yeh I'm not on the "they have to be great wrestlers" kick myself - the APA were a blast. Great music, fun promos and gimmick, great ass kickings of the Posse and random people in bars. You had three teams having great matches, it was good to have the badasses for hire and the dancing white boys too.

They weren't the best but definitely my fav, but find me a wrestler more exciting when they got the hot tag than Bradshaw from that era?
People that base everything on workrate drive me nuts because they don't see the whole pictire |

I wish Ryba.... sorry. THE RYBACK would start executing the Meat Hook more like the Clothesline From Hell. He doesn't have to run off the ropes or anything, just actually swing his arm with some feeling. For the "FEED ME MORE" chant/build up, it just seems MEH for such a big dude.

I loved when it was brought up that Bret Hart's face being likeable. I'm like 99 per cent sure that's why I was drawn to him as a child. In this world of monsters, he was this laid back dewd with sweet moves.

The Hardy Boyz, they had the best matches and both were super talented solo, too bad Matt got Fatt and Jeff got high
