"Top 4 80’s Tag Teams"

BY MICHAEL GOODPASTER

(FOUR) DEMOLITION
From 87 to 91, Demolition was one of the best teams in the world. They looked awesome. They took inspiration from the Mad Max movies and were like a grittier and more sadistic Legion of Doom. Once LOD showed up Demolition was phased out of things. Crush became Crush and Smash became Repo Man. They really missed the boat on a LOD/Demolition match for a Wrestlemania or a big feud.


(THREE) THE ROCKERS
To be honest, I’d probably say my personal favorite tag team of all time is The Rockers. Shawn Michaels was always the shit and Marty Jannetty was at his A-game. It was fun stuff. They brought something different to the table. They took the high flying torch from old schoolers like Rock n’ Roll Express and took it to a new level. Of course others would take that torch WAY farther after this. This team HAD to break up though. Shawn Michaels was obviously destined for bigger things. Talent like that cannot be contained by mid card tag matches.


(TWO) HART FOUNDATION
The same stuff. Shawn Michaels was just too talented to stay in a tag team, same with Bret Hart. Bret “The Hitman” Hart and Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart tore shit up. There was no one who could really touch them. Bret was a great technical wrestler and Anvil was a solid power brawler. They were monsters and had some great matches. The main reason I go with the Hart Foundation over The Rockers is because they lasted together much longer.


(ONE) LEGION OF DOOM
What a rush! The Legion of Doom or the “Roadwarriors” as they’re commonly called. LOD is the best tag team of all time. There. I said it. They’re not really my favorite team of all time because I’m that much of a huge Shawn Michaels mark, but LOD takes it. The face paint, the shoulder pads, the horrible haircuts, and the very solid matches made them so cool and fun to watch. They had small moments of being away from each other, but you can’t imagine one without the other. They are a true tag team and the best ever.
