Better Tag Team #2
WHAAAAAAT A RUSH!!! It was Doomsday for the Steiner Brothers, but can the Legion of Doom stand up to their next challenge on their quest to tag team immortality?

As big a Rockers mark that I am, their accomplishments as a tag team are not nearly as great as what the Road Warriors did.

Had they won championships i'd be picking the rockers easily, their high flying style was definitely ahead of their time, but they cannot come close to matching the RW's success.

I loved the Rockers as a Kid, but LOD wins this one for me. I recall these guys in a match where everyone talking about the high flying Rockers giving LOD a run for their money. Then LOD showed that they could climb the top turnbuckle too.

Rockers. People forget their AWA years in which they were the only watchable thing. They were doing double team moves that teams still use. Epic matches there espcially with Badd Company, Orton and Adonis, Somers and Rose, and the Rock and Roll Express

When you are talking about tag teams, Road Warriors are probably going to beat everyone.
They suck by themselves but are unbeatable together. |

I did think a good bit about this and gave it to the Rockers. The Road Warriors were certainly more successful and had a great impact on tag team wrestling, but when you listen to wrestlers talk about who they were inspired by, they seem to name Shawn and Marty in greater frequency. Could be just me. Also, I was never terribly excited by LOD, they always struck me as a couple of painted-faced muscleheads with dumb looking shoulder pads.

Also, their finishing move was named after a Star Trek episode, for fuck's sake.

Giving it to the Road Warriors here. You can't take anything away from the Rockers. Certainly they were innovators in their own field, but the Legion of Doom were not only awesome, but stayed together for much longer than the Rockers. I feel they match up well in terms of skill level relative to their respective skill sets/psychology, but I'm giving LOD the edge because to keep a tag team/gimmick together that long (not counting Droz days) says a lot about how over you are.

Both the Steiners and the Rockers are good teams, but Road Warriors are a great team. I certainly hope the Steiners and Rockers get another chance.

Is there an LOD dvd? If there isn't there probably should be. With bonus features of James Laurinitis nearly killing men on his way to the NFL.

I've said many times that the Rockers were massively over rated and nothing more than a Midnight Express knockoff. Everthing they're credited for doing they flat out stole.

But Shawn Micheals is still one of the greatest singles wrestlers of all time.

I loved the Rockers but they just didn't accomplish nearly enough to even be on par with LOD.

I've always had a soft spot for Marty. And Shawn, wether you like him or not, has been one of the most successful guys ever. Nothin' against LOD, but I had to go Rockers.

I'll say this.
Road Warrios easily here. Rockers were my favorite team when I was 9 years old, besides The Harts, but Road Warriors were very influential and made a ton of money. Midnight Express are easily a top 3 tag team of all-time imo. Lots of arguments can be made, of course, but they were very very good. This includes the Kangaroos, The Feebirds, The Andersons (Gene/Ole), The Bulldogs, The Road Warriors and others I'm missing. |
