Best Tag Team Tournament: Round 2, Group 1

**Vastardikai** · 08-03-2022, 12:00 AM

I voted for the Bar over the Headshrinkers, not because of anything against the Headshrinkers. I feel like The Bar as a team was solid. Cesaro could do any role depending on his partner, and Sheamus, while limited at this point, is always good.

As exciting as MCMG are, they had to face the equally exciting Bulldogs, who are also bigger than they are (pre and post steroids).

As fun as APA are, and as much as I love watching them murder Public Enemy, I had to go with Demolition. Again, one of my favorite tag teams of my youth.

I went with the Dream Team because A. Fuck the Bucks and B. Greg Valentine is one of the best workers there ever was. Beefcake wasn't bad at this point either. I feel like a lot of the derision he gets is from folks who only know him post-parasailing accident.

Briscoes is a great team. No doubt about it. One of the best. They aren't the Hart Foundation. And it was just an unfortunate draw for them.

Minnesota Wrecking Crew is just a legendary team, especially Ole and Gene. Ole is a miserable old bastard, but I love the knee drop off the top to the shoulder. Stud Stable is a good territory duo and, as much as I LOVE the Fuller Toehold (seriously, a personal favorite submission up there with the Jim Breaks Special), I can't in good conscience go against Gene and Ole Anderson.

I'm as big a fan of Nash as anyone else. But even then, I can't go against the Steiner Brothers. I still think about how Death Row (a large jobber) tried to sandbag them (actual sandbag, not the "sandbagging" that Thunder Rosa allegedly did), only to get rag dolled by them anyway because Rick and Scott were just strong as fuck.

I have nothing against the Rockers, great team that got the girls with their good looks and the guys with their cool moves. Harlem Heat was a bigger deal, IMO. They were the biggest draws in the GWF, behind the Patriot. Came to WCW and brought an intensity that got them over there, as well. They held more World Titles than the Rockers, as well.

Also, Mulkeymania is running wild!
