I don’t think I can vote against The Mulkeys after all we’ve been through over the past year. It would be like betraying family.

The Blonds were great, but weren't together long enough to be legendary. The Hart Foundation is just a legendary team, with Neidhart's Coke-infused promos and Bret being good at wrestling in a time where being "Good at Wrestling" could be legitimately used as a gimmick (instead of now, when EVERYONE is "Good at Wrestling," so no one is.)
I voted for Guerrillaz of Destiny because, for one thing, "Fuck You!" (GoD, EVERY match they're in) and also, I knew they'd get squashed, so I had to give them at least one vote. Also, their dad is behind me and I want to live. went with Steamboat and Youngblood because they were a solid team in their day, and because while the Ragu Sisters (credit: Demolition) were amazing in Montreal, and had a solid mid-tier run during 80s WWF, they weren't on top, like Ricky and Jay. They did have one of my favorite theme songs. The Quebecers had a good one, as well. Fun fact: the first third Generation wrestling stars in WWF were in fact Jacques and Raymond Rougeau. I fully expect the Dudley Boyz to win, but Mulkey-mania is running wild. I did include them as a joke entry more than anything else. That said, I just want the Mulkey's to win and maybe, just maybe, they get the Young Bucks in Round 2. Then I am sure they will get to Round 3. Since Haku is behind me, and I am living in fear, I went with the Islanders. Nothing against the World's Greatest Tag Team, but they would get beaten and parts of them may end up missing. In a battle of Superteams, I had to go with the Outsiders. Hall and Nash were vital to the '90s wrestling boom. And, while it made Kane feel interesting for the first time in over a decade and actually made Bryan matter to casual fans, they just don't hold a candle. Wild Samoans are a legendary tag team. They were so good at beating up heels in San Francisco as fans, they had to be let into the business. I voted for Demolition for one reason: they were one of my favorite teams growing up. They were considered rip offs of the Road Warriors, but they were better workers. The lesser version of the Freebirds versus a team that was compared to them at one point. As much as Edge and Christian Reek of Awesomeness. Michael Hayes helped pioneer the Rock n Wrestling era. "Badstreet USA" is easily one of the best theme songs of all time, and he could talk with the best of them. Jimmy Garvin, while no Buddy Roberts or Terry Gordy, was pretty good in his own right. Hindsight being what it is, I would have went with Hayes and Gordy and used a different team that may have drawn the death spot against the Midnights. Ah well. Still went with the Birds. |

I voted for one match-up twice (thought I removed it). Can you please subtract 1 for the Rougeaus. I went Steamboat/Youngblood.

Well there's sure a whole lot of stupid shit in this thread.
I didn't find this round too challenging. I figured Team Hell No would be the biggest losing side I voted for (not too surprising they're down 10-5 as of now) but man I'm a sucker for a good odd couple team. All 4 men in that match were more enjoyable as solo guys anyway. |

It'll be fascinating to me to see how the Mega Powers go. Obviously this first round against GOD was a lay-up (plz don't hurt me Haku).
Mega Powers had the biggest combined star power ever but ultimately the team was a vehicle for a prolific split angle and WM main event. It'll invariably get to the point where it's two of the biggest single stars in history vs. an established, excellent tag team everyone likes. All comes down to what metrics the voters feel are the most important to make that kind of decision. Will be fun. |

I actually thought Team Hell No would be doing better on account of Bryan and recent bias.

E&C vs Freebirds was very tough. I'm really not a Micheal Hayes fan but Buddy and Terry are amazing.

Christian sucks, so it was a handicap match.
Edge sucks just a lil bit less. |

Fair enough, but it stops there.
I still remember the one segment that made me laugh pretty good, and it really is the epitome of E&C. They were sitting in the back and Edge says "You know the best thing about my boots?? They say EDGE on them" Think this was at the height of the kazoo//sunglasses//5 second pose era. |

It's interesting that hardly any teams from that era had tag finishers.
E&C Hardyz NAO Kaientai Owen and Jarrett Brown and Henry APA had a double powerbomb but rarely used it. Was usually Clothesline From Hell The Hollys T&A I'm sure I'm missing a couple Last edited by Bad News Gertner; 07-29-2022 at 10:10 AM. |

Or, you could even have Farooq lift up for the dominator, but hold them up at the top of the slam, and have JBL clothesline them as they start to go back down or something like that.
Clothesline from hell always looked better on it's own, but damn.... |

NJPW tag team. They've held the IWGP Tag Titles a record 7 times, but tbf the tag division in New Japan has long stretches of being a lazily booked afterthought. They're kinda just the default champions when they don't know who else to put the titles on.
