Londrick and it's not even close.

not a huge fan of Kingston..... not even close for me.....

Easy winner. I hate little jimmy.

I quite liked both London and Kendrick. I like R-Truth but not really into Kingston and haven't seen much of their run as a team so went with London and Kendrick.

London and Kendrick. They had a great run back in 2006 (I think that's when it was), but they also looked like a tag team, which R-Truth and Kingston, who I like, still reek of two singles guys thrown together.

The Hooligans all the way ...

Is this Juanctioned?

not even close

Never liked the combo of R-Truth & Kofi so Londrick it is.

I miss Air Boom.

Yeah, I definitely think Paul London and Brian Kendrick were the better team. They had a great reign as WWE Tag Team Champions and they were a great high flying tandem. I also think the feud with MNM was one of the better tag team feuds. I think a match with Kofi Kingston and R-Truth would be a good match though.

This one's getting close.

I thought you were just gonna pick up where I left off?

London and Kendrick

London and Kendrick easily. Kofi and truth have overstayed their welcome as a team.

Londrick Kendon gets my vote.

Nah, just figured I'd start all over.

Also a little surprise at the landslide victory, guess I underestimated Londrick's popularity.

Seriously thought Kingston and Truth would make it a little more competitive. They're becoming more of a "legit" tag team. I actually had to think about this for a second.

You aren't a legit tag team until you wear matching outfits.

Killer Bees, now THAT would give London/Kendrick some problems....B Brian Blair bitches...

The loophole to that rule is if you're both black.

Did someone say... A LOT OF WORDS THAT START WITH B???

The guys name is B Brian Blair. I said a guys name, and then called a group of people bitches affectionately. I'm not sure what you're going for here sir.

This is not true

see: Harlem Heat, Doom.

Both legit tag teams. The matching tights were not necessary. On account of the blackness.

Please instruct me to said loophole. The fact that R-Truth and Kofi aren't considered a legit tag team is evidence enough that matching tights are required. Also, see Black Cena and Titus, a legit looking African American tag team, the Prime Time Playas.

R-truth and Kofi are certainly a legit tag team.

Jumpin' Jimmys

False. They will go their separate ways as soon as they drop the tag belts to Daniel Bryan and Kane. Hell they don't even have a TEAM name. They are as legit as Kane and Rob Van Dam were.

Lol, fuck Little Jimmy

Section 12 article 7 in the legit tag team rulebook.

You mean like LONDON AND KENDRICK!?

Dun dun DUNNNNNN

but they had MATCHING GEAR! You must have, one, the other, or BOTH! Color of skin is not considered the same gear, otherwise, all teams are legit.

:wave:

Are you ignoring multicultural teams? That is quite racist.

Neon green and black. You're welcome :wave:

Not if they're wearing the same gear and/or have a team name.

:wave:

Billy Gunn transcends rules.

I'm unable to view that photo due to format I suppose. At work. What's it of so I may make up another reason as to why the two singles wrestlers aren't a team.

Iggy did it, nevermind.

Then why did you even bother to message me? lol

Oooh. Using the fact that I happened to pick one where Billy was wearing the green tights. Touche, sir...

:wave:

Matching t-shirts. Also had a name...the New Age Outlaws...one, the other, or both.

Miz and Morrison

For example, I can consider Air Boom for reasons stated above.

So we're including shirts worn on the way to the ring as matching outfits huh? Alright...

I'll catch heat for this, but never really considered them much of a team either. That's not an excuse either. Just felt they threw Morrison with Miz after M & M.

No, they had a team name. The New Age Outlaws.

Well, you argued the matching green so I was going with the "matching" thing.

:eek:

So would you consider Jeri-Show more of a tag team than Miz and Morrison?

http://images4.fanpop.com/image/phot...93-330-339.jpgAlso....I counter your image, with an image.

I see complete darkness. I agree. Tag team.

It was an image of Miz and Morrsion in matching gear.

Did they wear matching gear at some point? But you just said you don't consider them a tag team...

You know who else wore matching gear at some point...

http://www.wwe.com/f/wysiwyg/image/2...PHOTO_1172.jpg

I don't. They only did it once. Was just fucking around because it was the only one I could find at the moment.

But seriously. Would you consider Jeri-Show to be more of a tag team than Miz and Morrison and Truth and Kofi?

Those are two different blues.....Truth in denim blue, Kofi in more of a maya blue

No I considered Jerishow more of an angle as they were only actually a team for about 6 months and were only put together because Edge was injured.

Though I will say I considered Miz and Morrison more of a team than Truth and Kofi.

But Jeri-Show had a team name...

They even matched a lot. Covering both of your requirements for a legit tag team.

Are yo....ere? #1-w....can y...hear....m...

Connection bad.......I'll ca....ou..later.....

*Dialtone*

:yes:

In all seriousness, if you go by my rules of tag teams you WOULD have to consider JeriShow a tag team.

Same for the 2-man power trip, or whatever Austin and Trips were calling themselves, though again, that was more angle than long term tag teaming.

Two Dudes with Attitudes

kinda groooooovyyy...(sorry california dreams popped in my head when I read that)

I am of the belief you need a team name/matching attire, one or the other to be a certified legit tag team and not two singles guys tossed together for little reason.

Point is, it's a subjective "feel" thing as opposed to something you throw two rules on. You either feel like Kofi and Truth have established themselves as a legit team or you don't. I don't buy the idea that they can randomly come up with a name as a team and suddenly everything changes because of how they're announced.

How about Cactus Jack and Chainsaw Charlie?

Their names go together perfectly. Charlie was even named with the intention of teaming with Cactus. No team name though, no matching attire and they weren't exactly thrown together for no reason.

I probably would've just started where you left off if you would've replied back. Alas you did not and therefore I made the decision to start off fresh.

Nope, didn't see it as a tag team.

Yeah I get your point, and can understand if you feel that way, but I grew up during the era where tag teams HAD at least one of those 2 rules when teams were formed. There's been such a watering down of what makes a "team" that it's jaded me in terms of what defines a team to me. There are exceptions to the rule, but in general I consider a tag team more often than not should possess one of those 2 specs.

I think we grew up watching the same era. And tag teams didn't always have at least one of those 2 rules. There may have been more tag teams that did but there were also still a lot who didn't.

Remember Owen Hart and Yokozuna? So fucking random. lol

lol, they were random, and I fucking hated that. That was around the time they began getting away from the "team" concept. You had Smoking Gunns, New Rockers, New Blackjacks, etc and then fucking Yoko and Owen.

:wave:

They even made Greg Valentine dye his hair black and dress like a fucktard to team with HTM.

Yoko and Owen were random, but they were 2 time tag champs and defended their titles against multiple teams. Even though they were random do you consider them a tag team ?

Even before that though, you also had former tag team champions Sparky Plugg and The 1-2-3 Kid.

Same era, mid 90's. 95/96. I zoned out during that era because it was atrocious lol. I was referring more to the 80's WWF.

How do you feel it effects the "legit tag team" label if the two guys have a common manager?

Though for the record, I didn't consider them a team either and forgot they even held the belts.

If they are part of a stable I don't usually consider them an official tag team. Who were you thinking of....million dollar corporation?

I'm enjoying this dialogue by the way.

Now if they were teaming PRIOR to joining the stable, could be a different story:D

Or The Heenan Family

Would you consider Owen and The Bulldog more of a tag team than Owen and Yokozuna?

So would you consider The Colossal Connection ( Haku and Andre) a team then ?

Yes, see: official Tag Team name.

To elaborate: They were originally just members of the Heenan family, however, they formed a team and had a team name, hence, they became a tag team. Eventually Heenan would abandon Andre and Andre turned, ending the team.

But you wouldn't consider Owen and Yoko a team ?

No. They did not have a team name. They were just Yoko and Owen who were teaming because Cornette managed them both.

The missing element? Team name.

They could have gone with Camp Cornette which was the stable name, but that would have to involve there not being a stable and Vader and Bulldog having to "kick rocks".
