MartyBall4Buffalo Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 #4 The Steiner Brothers - They were great when they still wore headgear and singlets before they went to Vince McMahon's circus. Were/are they really brothers? Yup. Rob and Scott Rechsteiner.
ACor58 Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 Gotta love Strike Force - Tito Santana & Rick Martel
R. Rich Posted January 30, 2007 Author Posted January 30, 2007 Rich, Nothing beat that Freebird vs. Von Erich war!!! That was a good one. Another good feud was the Moondogs vs Jarrett/Lawler.
theesir Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 Back in the old Mid-Atlantic days, my favorite fued was Greg "the Hammer" Valentine and Nature Boy Ric Flair teaming up against Dino Bravo and Ricky Steamboat.
shrader Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 I was always a big Demolition fan. Call them ripoffs if you want, but that theme song was the best.
Nervous Guy Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 Victor Rivera and Dominic DeNucci Chief Jay Strongbow and Sonny King Victor Rivera and Tony Marino Killer Kowalski and Gorilla Monsoon
R. Rich Posted January 30, 2007 Author Posted January 30, 2007 Victor Rivera and Dominic DeNucci Chief Jay Strongbow and Sonny King Victor Rivera and Tony Marino Killer Kowalski and Gorilla Monsoon No love for the Blackjacks? They were a bada** team, and Mulligan's feud w/ Andre (they had a great Texas Death Match many years ago) was legendary.
Nervous Guy Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 No love for the Blackjacks?

R. Rich Posted January 30, 2007 Author Posted January 30, 2007 sure they were good, but I also didn't mention Tony Garea & Haystacks Calhoun, or Professor Tanaka & Mr. Fuji either! Darin brought up Garea earlier too, but mentioned him w/ Martel. I still think the best partner he had was Larry Zbysko, though he never really had any slouches as partners.
taterhill Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 Greg the Hammer and Brutus the Barber....thread over
The Tomcat Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 My son was at a wrestling tourny this weekend and one of his teammates was rough housing with me and I said.... "Be careful or I'll hit with the Fuji and Siato "white powder"".....the kid looked at me...WHO? man I felt old...
R. Rich Posted January 30, 2007 Author Posted January 30, 2007 Greg the Hammer and Brutus the Barber....thread over Hahahaha!!!! The "Dream Team". Riiiiiiight.

apuszczalowski Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 Best tag teams of this generation The Dudleys - Devon and Bubba (still together in TNA with their brother Runt, whom I am assuming is Spike) The Hardy's - Amazing aerial manuvers and true high flyers Edge and Christian - Had some amazing matches with the Dudleys and the Hardy's Honorable mention to the Acolytes (APA) - Farooq and Bradshaw, Benoit and Guerrerro (although Eddie and Chavo were another good one), Worlds Greatest Tag team aren't bad Best Tag TEams of the Past (or atleast when I was growing up) Demolition The Road Warriors The Killer Bee's Tito Santana and Rick Martel Earthquake and Typhon Bushwackers The Rockers Orient Express Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage And My favorite Tag Team The Hart Foundation (they are supposedly working on a new Hart Foundation with Neidharts Daughter, Davey Boy Smiths Son, and one other member of the extended Hart Foundation)
The Tomcat Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 The kendo stick would work better. Was that the "bamboo" stick that would make a loud 'snap' and break up into a million pieces?
truth on hold Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 Okay wrestling fans, let's hear from you. I know all 7 of you are out there, so... Who's your 5 favorite tag teams of all time and why? Here's mine: The Road Warriors As good as tag team wrestling got, they were entertaining, tough, scary, and just plain brutal. The Steiner Brothers Very sound wrestlers (don't see much of that nowadays, which is why I no longer watch pro wrestling) who could bring it. The Steiner Line and the Frankensteiner were great to see. Harlem Heat Master showmen who also were tough as nails and good athletes. Their brief feud w/ Bunkhouse Buck and Dick Slater was some great stuff to watch. BTW, Buck and Slater were a fun tag team to watch, even though they had practically zero talent. All they did was beat people up. Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard Great cheaters who also were technically sound wrestlers. They were the muscle of the Four Horsemen when they were arguably @ their meanest (remember when they broke Sting's leg?). Rock N Roll Express Not the biggest tag team, or the quickest, or the most technically sound, but man could they bring it. No matter how quick, skilled, tough, or large the opponent was, the Express could take 'em down. There's other teams I really liked also, like the Hart Foundation, Rude/Fernandez, DiBiase/Rotundo, Hall/Nash, and the Strongbows for starters. how can you possibly forget THE HART FOUNDATION? brett the hitman went on to become individual champion and the jim the anvil hart could match power with anyone. add in the pink heart outfits and you had the best team ever. only the road warriors had a chance against them
R.

It's a matter of opinion. I like the Harts, but I like the other 5 I mentioned more.
BuffOrange Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 There's other teams I really liked also, like the Hart Foundation, Rude/Fernandez, DiBiase/Rotundo, Hall/Nash, and the Strongbows for starters. By DiBiase/Rotundo you mean "Money, Inc." right? I'm partial to them because they were the champs when I first got into it (92-93?). Awesome gimmick w/ IRS and bonus points for being from Syracuse. Hall/Nash were really good too; though there was a lot of unrealized potential with them. It's weird; some of you guys are making me feel young (26) but when I watch these NWO youtube clips it's like "WTF that was 11 years ago?" What happened to this last decade?
