Best Tag Team Tournament: Intro and Qualifiers
So, I decided that I wanted to do a King of the Forum Style Tournament for Tag Teams, to determine the best tag team of all time, according to the TPDub. Big thing is, I tried to make it so a wrestler can only be on team, else a good fourth of the tournament would be teams containing either Cesaro, Arn Anderson, or Bobby Eaton. As such, some good teams are not listed. I will also note the members if there are more than one version I could go with. There is a caveat coming up, and I'll discuss it then. Here are the participants...
American Wolves The Assassins Badd Company Blue Bloods (Stephen Regal and Dave Taylor) Brain Busters (Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard) Brisco Brothers Briscoes British Bulldogs Crusher and Bruiser Demolition (Ax and Smash) Destruction Crew Dream Team (Greg Valentine and Brutus Beefcake) The Dudleyz Edge and Christian Eliminators Fabulous Ones (Steve Keirn and Stan Lane) Fabulous Rougeau Brothers Fantastics (Bobby Fulton and Tommy Rogers) Freebirds (Michael Hayes and Jimmy Garvin) FTR Gangstas Good Brothers Guerrillas of Destiny Hart Foundation Hardy Boyz Harlem Heat Headshrinkers Headbangers Heavenly Bodies (Tom Pritchard and Jimmy Del Ray) Islanders Jerry Lawler and Bill Dundee Mega Powers Midnight Express (Bobby Eaton and Dennis Condrey) Minnesota Wrecking Crew (Ole and Gene Anderson) Miracle Violence Connection Motor City Machine Guns The Mulkeys (The odds on favorite to win) Nasty Boys New Age Outlaws New Day Outsiders Pat Patterson and Ray Stephens Powers of Pain The R and R's (Manny Fernandez and Rick Rude) Ricky Steamboat and Jay Youngblood Road Warriors (Hawk and Animal) Rock n Roll Express Rockers Sheepherders Steiner Brothers Stud Stable (Rob Fuller and Jimmy Golden) U.S. Express The Usos Wild Samoans World's Greatest Tag Team Young Bucks Now for the Caveat: For the last 8 teams, I couldn't pick between two teams with a shared member. Or in the case of the Hollywood Blondes, Two different teams with the same name. As such, I wanted to do a 3 day poll to determine who will be represented. *Los Gringos Locos (Eddie Guerrero and Art Barr) or Los Guerreros (Eddie and Chavo Guerrero) *Beer Money, Inc (Bobby Roode and James Storm or America's Most Wanted (Chris Harris and James Storm) *Doom (Butch Reed and Ron Simmons or APA (Farooq and Bradshaw) *Brothers of Destruction (Kane and Undertaker) or Team Hell No! (Kane and Daniel Bryan) *Kings of Wrestling (Claudio Castagnolli and Chris Hero) or The Bar (Sheamus and Cesaro) *Lightning Express (Brad Armstrong and Tim Horner) or Brad Armstrong and "The Bullet" *The Hollywood Blonds (Buddy Roberts and Jerry Brown) or the Hollywood Blonds (Steve Austin and Brian Pillman) *Strike Force (Rick Martel and Tito Santana) or Rick Martel and Tony Garrea After this, I will do a draw special to determine the first round matches. First Round will be done up into 4 groups. Second Round done up into 2 groups. ![]() = ![]() "KARA-TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!" Question Mark.

Great list! Disappointed though that Too Much/Too Cool didn’t make it in. I thought they were great heels at the beginning as Too Much, and they were one of the most popular teams at a really major time in wrestling.
I would have them in ahead of teams like Headbangers or Good Brothers. |

Great idea. Love tag teams. |

Not sure why you were worried about putting multiple teams with the same guy in though. Fuck it.

Team Hell No so much more entertaining than the hypothetically good but in reality bad tag team of Kane and Undertaker. I can't name one good match with Kane and Taker as a team.

Team Hell No were entertaining and a big part of Daniel Bryan’s acclimation into WWE. The Undertaker & Kane teaming up felt like a waste of energy outside maybe some of their 1998 stuff where Vince used them against Austin, if you really consider that period them teaming (can’t remember an actual tag team match).
I think Kane had better teams with X-Pac and even Mankind. |

Imagine if WWE booked The Invasion all awesome and they had booked The Outsiders vs The Brothers of Destruction, that would have been sick. Probably wouldn't have been that good of a match but still, woulda been cool.

Team Hell No had better matches, but for me, the sheer presence and aura of BoD wins out.

There’s a universe out there where that did happen, and Nash got hurt and Hall got drunk and the Invasion was still a big mess.

Garea’s hurt by a lack of familiarity, I think. I’m only familiar with him from the historical context that he was a pretty hot babyface tag guy from way back. The Lapsed Fan just did a bit of coverage on the guy from the Colosseum releases. But I just haven’t been exposed to him that much, whereas people have seen a bit of Strike Force.

Also, the Alternates broke my rule. LOL (Hardliners and Texas Outlaws both have Dick Murdoch. Meh.)
Doesn't look like I'll need to go that far down. I would replace Hardliners with Blade Runners. |

Those who are less familiar with Art Barr would go with Los Guerreros because they didn't know how good he was in the ring. Folks who are more familiar with Art Barr may be more willing to go with Los Guerreros because they know the reason why Art Barr only worked in Portland and Mexico after his WCW run ended.

So the Qualifiers are:
Los Guerreros Beer Money Inc. APA Team Hell No! The Bar Texas Outlaws* Hollywood Blonds (Steve Austin and Brian Pillman) Strike Force *Texas Outlaws Qualified as an alternate because Brad Armstrong and the Bullet tied with Lightning Express, eliminating both. And I am willing to bet someone voted to tie them back up because all of the Alternates may have been better options than either of these two. And, that's a fair assessment. Tuesday, I am gonna do the drawing for the first round. And, shortly after that, Group A of the first round will be up. |

Except Steamboat. That man wouldn’t have popped an aspirin without his wife’s permission.

Yeah, but what else did his wife make him do?
Could be a whole family buried in his back yard that Mrs. Steamboat wanted gone. |

Honestly though, you think anyone checked ID on all those ring rats back in the day? Theyre all probably pedophiles.

Some people can separate the talent from their actions outside their professional field. Other people can’t. To each their own.

Just don’t do a Jordynne Grace and try to use someone’s unpopularity as an actor outside wrestling as a veil to misrepresent talent.
