Tag Team Tourney: The Sweet Sixteen!

By

Down to the nitty gritty.  Sadly, Kid & Jannetty lost ANOTHER nail-biter, 49-51 to the Eddie-Rey team, and no last minute surge saved them this time.  But really, Eddie Guerero and Rey Mysterio? 

On with the tournament!  Now there’s some bigtime showdowns on display.

    No matter how many teams... no matter where they're placed... it always comes down to LOD vs Steiners.

    People complained of the Owen love for questionable reasons... how did ANY of Eddie's teams make it this far? The reign with Tajiri was forgettable (and simply a Plan B), the stuff with Rey Jr. was the "wacky teams no one liked but still like I guess", and Los Guerreros were OK, but I never dug Chavo.

    At least Owen's teams were awesome and Eddie/Chavo are the only Eddie team that deserve to advance since they helped carry Smackdown during the Smackdown 6 era.

    I personally loved Owen/Yoko and Owen/Bulldog, but that could also be credited to how weak the division was at the time. They both felt more plutonic as a team than most "thrown togethers." Owen/Jarrett was whatever.

    The Quebecers were a good team, but would not be able to withstand Rock n Sock. It's a logical conclusion.

Not trying to influence your votes, but Road Warrior Hawk's family could really use the prize money.. sniff.. sniff..

    Road Warriors vs. BoD Hell if you Sell match? After much no selling and ref bumps, Kane resorts to trying to set Animal on fire. Animal back drops Kane over the top rope and they brawl on the outside. Paul Bearer tries to hit Hawk with the urn, but Paul Ellering stops him. Hawk grabs the urn and knocks Taker out with it for the pin. BUT since this is NWA, the head ref reverses the decision and BoD win by dq (never underestimate the over the top rope dq rule)

    Same here. Not just because I'm (obviously) a Quebecers fan, but I never found Rock N' Sock to be funny (which was the point of them). Mick is so damn proud of that "This Is Your Life" segment but I didn't think it was funny at all. And it's certainly not rewatchable.

    Year and a half. Whatever. NAO were huge during the attitude era, had a bigger impact on tag team wrestling (not even debatable), and could actually cut promos.

    Bulldog and Owen were an amazing tag team in the ring together. They were getting face pops on workrate alone (virtually unheard of at the time), gracefully carried the horrible division for a good nine months, and were entertaining as hell. NAO were entertaining but nothing else, and their act was stale within nine months. I legitimately struggle to think of a good match they had outside of the one at WM 14 with Cactus and Funk.

    Kane & RVD defeated The Road Warriors CLEAN on Raw. I'm sure Kane & The Undertaker can get by them. Undertaker POSSESSES Rocco the Talking Puppet, who causes a DQ for his team.

    Outlaws had a good run, probably the best "attitude era" team until the rise of E&C, Hardys, and Dudleys, but that doesn't make them a spectacular team. They were poor workers who had a couple of sing-along sessions.

    Yet the catchphrases and 2 minute Raw matches is what far more people were entertained by.


    Workrate aside, what set Owen and Bulldog apart? They were tag champs in 1996 and part of 97. I don't think anyone even cared when they broke up.


    Great wrestlers for sure but their impact wasn't close to NAO (shitty workers that they were).
