The New Age Outlaws are definitely not the best team of all team. We can at least all agree on that.

While on the subject of tag teams, you know who doesn't get nearly enough credit in the tag team scene? The Freebirds. One of the best tag teams out there. They could have made WCCW if it wasn't for the booking.

I feel like they get a ton of credit, but OK.

Very few people that I talk to about tag teams mention The Freebirds. I talk about The Natural Disasters more than them. All due credit to The Natural Disasters (I keep an Earthquake action figure in my glove box, not sure why, he just has always lived in every can I've had) but they shouldn't be more talked about than the Freebirds.

Exposure, yes. Age, not an issue. I'm not a fan of people who say "it's before my time" on any subject. Some of the best music may have been made before most of us were born (take that as classic rock or classical music, dealer's choice). Same goes for literature. Hell, my favorite movie was made in 1957. Exposure was an issue, but not age.
However, for the more common place fan who refuses to look into history, I can see the reasoning for age and it's relation to exposure... I'm not happy with it, but I see it. |

Relax. I'm just saying that a lot of people you talked to probably saw a lot more of the Natural Disasters than the Freebirds. I know I did. I don't take anything away from the Freebirds, but I haven't made much of an effort to go back and watch a bunch of their material.
Plus, Michael Hayes is a racist, so fuck him. |

Just because he said he's blacker than some black wrestler (legit cannot recall who he said that about) does not make him a racist... The fact that he has dropped the N word on the other hand is a valid argument for being a racist.
But hey, you're right. More people on this board (and more "adult" fans in general) have seen more of The Natural Disasters, The Nasty Boys, The Rockers, The Legion of Doom, etc than The Freebirds because of their exposure (mainly their time in WWF during that era). |

So far, the Steiner Brothers have made the best case in this thread.

Freebirds were pretty great, but mainly when Gordy and Hayes tagged. Roberts was kinda meh.
My favourite tag team were the Acolytes, but I wouldn't call them the best or even near it. |

I think Edge & Christian have to be up there for greatest tag team. So many reigns. So many good matches. The epic Hardys-Dudleyz feud. Innovating the tag team ladder match and tlc matches. And they've done pretty well for themselves in the singles divisions too.

Saying E&C were innovating the TLC matches it like saying the guy who put bacon on a burger was a visionary. All they did was add to something that was already classic. Yes, it was a good addition (I doubt people would want to eat a burger with cottage cheese, or see a tables, ladders, and frozen burrito match) but it was by no way something new.
The thing with E&C and their tag team scene was they had the best exposure. They were around when pro wrestling was white hot. Thrilla said it best, it's age and exposure. |
