If You Could Bring Back Any Wrestling Tag Team Who Would You Bring Back ?

[ricflairjuniour]

I would bring back Cousin Butch and Cousin Luke, aka The Bushwackers. Their match against the Fantastics, Tommy Rogers and Bobby Fulton, in the New Orleans Superdome at the first Crockett Cup Card is a classic.

Too bad Jimmy Superfly Snooka never teamed up with Andre the Giant Ferre. They would have been unbeatable.

The Hollywood Blondes!

Definately the Hollywood Blondes! Their intro was priceless. What ever happened to those guys?

There have been many Hollywood Blondes over the years. The best known were Jerry Brown & Buddy Roberts in the 1970s and Rip Rogers & Ted Oates in the 1980s (who I'm referring to in the poll), but the most famous one was the WCW tag team of Stunning Steve Austin and Flyin Brian Pillman.

By the Horsemen I mean the original Four Horsemen formed in 1986 consisting of Ricflair, the Minnesota Wrecking Crew (Arn and Ole Anderson), and Tully Blanchard.

The Horsemen changed over the years. Alumni include Sting, Lex Luger, Sid Vicious, Paul Roma, Vader, Chris Benoit, Jeff Jarrett and the Man of a Thousand Holds, Dean Malenko.

Yeah, the Killer Bees, Brian Blair and Jim Brunzell. Unfortunately they never were never able to clinch the WWF tag team championship in their short careers.

Brian Blair hung up his stinger and is now a reformed Christian I hear.

Road Warriors all the way. The brief time I followed wrestling regularly, it was mostly due to LOD.

The Raod Warriors invented "power moves" as we see them done now. It is only in recent years that really big men have caught up to executing in that tempo and with such convincing fasion. The Power Slams & clothslines still hold up well in comparison to todays best athleates.

It was also one of the early examples of fans driving the script instead of writters - the Road Warriors became favourites by acclamation without making any changes to their personas or tactics.

British Bulldogs! Davey Boy Smith & The Dynamite Kid!

Another vote for the Roadwarriors.

I didn't see the New Age Outlaws, what's up with that? Would could beat their intro, "Ladies and Gentlemen, children of all ages, the WW? and DeGeneration X are proud to present the Tag Team Champions of the world......" you guys get the point. DX was the best time to be a wrestling fan.

 

[shack]

I'd like to see the Tolos Brothers (from Hamilton).

 

[Stagg]

I'd Pick the Powers of Pain with Warlord and Barbarian. They were the only ones that really got in the heads of Demolition who I'd pick second.

 

[philter]

what about mike rotundo and barry wyndham, they were awesome. and hellllloooooo!!!!! how could anyone forget the hart foundation (brett hart and jim the anville neidhart).

 

[the rusty tromb]

Hollywood Blonds and Hart Foundation. When Jim "The Anvil" Niedhart would do that crazy laugh while he stroked his goatee, I'd get very giddy.

old school
ricky steambolt and jay youngblood
loved the nwa days of 70's
also ray "the crippler" stevens and jimmy snuka

 

[knight66]

ah, the old days.
The East-West connection ( Adrian Adonis and Jesse Ventura).
Tony Atlas and Rocky Johnson
The Dream Team (Jimmy"the hammer" Valentine and Brutus Beefcake).
They always had good matches with The American Express (Barry Windom and Mike Rotundo) and The British Bulldogs (Wrestlemania 2).
How about the Two Towers (I think it was Typoon and Earthquake) managed by slick. Boy did they ever beat the hell out of the Rock and Rock express (sean Micheals and Marty Janetty). It was back in wrestlemania 4 I think
I guess my alltime fav tag team was Undertaker and Kane. Back when they held both tag team championships. That was cool (no offence to Carlito)

Another vote for the Hart Foundation.

Didn't King Kong Bundy partner up with Big John Stud which Bobby "the brain" Heenan called "The team that can't be slammed"??

Yes he did. Bundy was known for insisting that refs use a five count when he pinned his opponents. In his heyday he weighed 450 lbs. Heenan used to call him "Shamu". His best match was a steel cage face-off against Hogan at Wrestlemania 2 which Hogan won.


Bundy's stage name inspired the name of the sitcom family on "Married... with Children" and he made several appearances on the show

I thought it was Greg "the Hammer" Valentine, not Jimmy.

Anyone remember George "the animal" Steele and the Junkyard Dog. JYD would have to soothe him after the match, and then dance to "Another one bites the Dust".
