Hey there. You know, we are counting down the Top 50 tag teams of all time, but there are more than 50 teams and we had to shorten the list. Here are teams that were good, but not good enough to make the cut.
Mike Graham and Steve Keirn: Florida Championship Wrestling in its heyday featured them feuding with Dory Funk and the Masked Assassins.
The Nasty Boys: They are friends of Hulk Hogan and maybe the ugliest wrestlers ever to be seen on a television screen.
Playboy Buddy Rose and Doug Somers: A dominant tag team in the northwestern states and the Oregon promotion.
The Moondogs: Spot and Rex will always have a soft spot in my heart.
Eddie Gilbert and Tommy Rich: They were tag team champions in the Memphis territory in the mid-'80s, but began a feud that was gruesome and bloody.
Jay and Jules Strongbow: A popular tag team in the WWF for years in the 1970s.
Ric Flair and Batista: As Evolution's main tag team, they held the world tag team titles while Randy Orton and Triple H also held gold.
Barry Windham and Lex Luger: They became a tag team out of necessity in Florida to battle Sir Oliver Humperdink. They became a tag team in the NWA and were partnered with Sting until Windham joined the Horsemen.
Sgt. Slaughter and Don Kernoodle: Were Mid-Atlantic champions in the early 1980s. Battled with Ricky Steaboat and Jay Youngblood.
Randy Savage and Jerry Lawler: They were friends. They battled each other and they were a good tag team in Memphis until they left the territory for other success.
Dino Bravo and Dominic DeNucci: They were a good tag team in the 1970s and held WWF gold.
Nick Bockwinkle and Ray Stevens: May be an underrated tag team in the AWA. They were a dominant pair that had great success.
Mr. Fuji and Mr. Saito: Fuji and Saito were a gerat heel pairing in the WWF in the early 1980s.
Ricky Steamboat and Jay Youngblood: A good tag team in the Mid-Atlantic area. Held the world tag team titles and were involved in a vicious feud with Sgt. Slaugter and Don Kernoodle.
Kane and Big Show: They are dominant and can battle with the best of them. They are just short of making the list.
