Odd Tag Teams ?
I was thinking today about a tag team that has one member as a heel and the other as a face ..couldn't come up with a legit one?
Extending the scope of that thought, what are the queer (not gay but odd) teams that stick out to you? Come down to my dungeon..eh...I'll stretch the feck out you ![]() Only legends know..ehhh.. |

Sting and Luger did the face/heel team thing

Traditionally you wouldn’t get too many teams where someone is clearly a face or a heel when their partner wasn’t. The closest you probably get are teams like Luger & Sting and random teams thrown together to split up or to turn someone coming out of it.

CM Punk and Fan's unwavering fandom of him, quite the odd pairing

Sting (Wolfpac) and The Giant(NWO) in 1998 as WCW tag champs even though it didn't last long...that is the closest thing I can think of for a heel/face team

They’ve used that trope where guys in a feud end up winning the titles together a few times. Surely that yielded a heel/face combo. Or are you talking specifically long term teams?

Yeah, there are plenty of examples of the tired “reluctant partners” trope. I assumed we were talking about legit willing partners who had different dispositions ala Sting and Luger.
Random example: Droz and Animal |

When discussing “odd tag teams,” I just want to take it down the path of completely batshit teams that were just strange pairings.
Charlie Haas & Viscera, for example. |

That's a great od example actually. I also found Animal and Heidenreich a very odd team and random fave turn for Heidenreich. I also want to note that the Sting/Giant team was a different situation than reluctant partners because they were willing partners at first and them splitting up when Giant turned heel was different because it had nothing to do with a feud between the two of them. They just happened to join feuding factions which is what caused them to split up. It was quite a unique scenario actually

Devastator and Innovator back in CHW is the first team that comes to my mind. The two were unstoppable and extremely entertaining as part of Team FTW, or Fuck The World (have to make it clear because team for the win sounds fucking retarded as you can get). Yet despite being such a close tag team and an integral part to the tag scene in CHW and yard wrestling in general of all feds, Innovator and Devastator would constantly feud with each other and have Innovator vs Devastator matches which were really good. Weird tag team, I cant think of another tag team in wrestling that was a cornerstone of a tag division and at the same time constantly had matches against each other. The Video is the first Innovator/Devastator match before team FTW was even born. |

Pretty sure Team Hell No started off as a heel/face thing didn't it? Think Bryan was the heel going into it.

I forgot The Godfather and Mark Henry in late 1999 after Henry turned heel on The Godfather and they just randomly started tagging again a few times without explanation

That’s the time I’m thinking of. I don’t remember much about the reign other than Rico was secretly happy to be the champion, lol.

The story of Albert’s career, in kayfabe, was that he was a monster with potential that just wanted to have some fun. Scotty 2 Hotty, Brodus Clay.
