I disagree though - the level of wrestling's popularity in 1998-2000 is so incredibly far beyond what it was in the 80's, its so much of a bigger production now that it's almost funny. The only thing to change the analogy is the fact that Dusty's name and face have been used a little on WWE TV for the past year, but it's still the case that guys like Droz and Albert were seen by more people than huge stars in the business that proceeded them.

No dude, that was a terrible analogy. I get what you're saying with it, and I agree with the idea of what you're trying to get across, but that was just a poor analogy.

That wasn't what I was referring to. APA defined both of its members for years. Without it, Bradshaw would have been some nameless jobber and Simmons would be "that guy that was Farooq." Without APA, neither of those guys would have become what they are. The Hollywood Blondes is a quirky footnote in Austin and Pillman's career. Something that we look at now and think "Damn, look what those guys became."

Right, but what the APA was is a midcard team that wasn't in the top 3 teams of its own era, and while they did a lot on their own to be respected, its not like they as that team are that big of a deal in the history of wrestling.

APA were certainly no Demolition or Road Warriors, but I won't diss them. They were good fun back in the day (until the bell rung anyway... *shudder*)

Anyway, we already established the criteria by which an "Elite" tag team is being judged for the purposes of this thread, and APA make the grade, so it's not really debatable, just fact, whether you were entertained by them or not... they meet the required criteria.

(If I post a photo of the Pepperami man, and imply that it is Lashley, in response to that last post... does that make me racist?)

(Surely not?)



Ah, well. What's the matter, Lashley? Too spicy for ya?
