You know that feeling we all get when WWE is totally awesome? Ooh, yeah!
That feeling of fun, nostalgia, the memories that made you a lifelong fan.
Like the most awesome tag teams in WWE history.
From the extreme and destructive.
To the extraordinary.
And the degenerate.
These are the iconic team of the WWE.
That reek of awesomeness.
And bring us to our feet.
To chant in unison.
This is awesome.
Welcome to This is Awesome, the only show that celebrates the most awesome
everything. Then, now, forever, and together.
I'm your host, Greg Miller, at GameOverGreggy on Instagram and Threads,
today, we bring you the most awesome tag teams in WWE history, where it's all
about the power of two.
There's no more unique form of wrestling competition than tag team wrestling,
where the sum of the parts...
are what truly matter. Chemistry, synergy, and energy are often the
makers between success and failure.
And when a tag team possesses all those ingredients, the results are some of the
most memorable matches and action in all of sports entertainment.
Tag team wrestling is the best form of wrestling.
There's different people, there's different options, there's different
And I think within that, you kind of get your own art form of a different type
of match.
Let's say you like cars. Would you rather have two cars or four?
That's a no -brainer.
You guys have to work together to figure out how to achieve this one goal. When
you're able to overcome all of that, you know that you've done something cool,
unique, and special.
I've always loved tag teams, ever since I was a kid.
Rockers were my favorite tag team. They were fast. They were high -flying.
Sensational. The Steiner brothers were the greatest tag team of all time, in my
opinion. How are you going to beat 285 -pound Scott Steiner, 300 -pound Rick
Steiner? You're not.
Steiner brothers are awesome.
My favorite is the Kabuki Warriors.
I love the way that they move in the ring. I love the style.
I was always a big fan of APA, the Mexicals, Chavo and Eddie.
People always laugh at me when I say this, but I'm completely serious.
Billy and Chuck.
It was showing people you didn't have to live by the rules that everyone else
had written in order to be successful.
It's awesome.
Tag team wrestling is awesome.
I feel like with tag teams, you kind of want one of two things. You either want
two guys who are just very, very similar, or you want two guys who have
dynamic where one brings to the table what the other one doesn't.
For DIY, I'd have that more intense green style to me.
Johnny's got a bit more slash.
Oh, my God!
We're the Viking Raiders.
Eric, he's smaller of the two. He's the powerhouse.
And then I'm the big one, but I'm the high flyer.
And that's not the dynamic that you get from any other tag team in the history
of pro wrestling.
The Viking Raiders playing on their terms.
I think what makes the tag team work is a true, genuine friendship.
Me and Austin Theory, we're best mates.
When I got put in my first tag team, it gave me a sisterhood with women that I
will love and be friends with forever.
I mean, I've been turned on a lot, though, actually, now that I'm actually
thinking about it. I think almost every tag team partner I've ever had has
turned on me, except for Kel. I love her, Kel. She's a real one.
Well,
I'll be damned.
When it is going naturally and you're in a tag team, there's nothing like it.
The absolute chemistry pressure on our hands, brother, was what really made us
success. We'll use the key.
Well, he and I already both didn't mind having a beer, two, or ten.
Awesome crew.
Miz and Morrison.
Show Miz.
Miz and Miz Val.
I've had some really great moments with those tag teams.
Teaming with Finn Balor. I have a buddy that I can pick his brain.
I could feed off of in the ring, and we could create magic together.
The Street Profits, Angelo Dawkins, Montez Ford.
It's like peanut butter and jelly.
Being a part of this new resurgence of tag team wrestling, it's an honor.
I mean, last year, main event, tag team, man. This year, night one, main event,
tag team, man.
They say great minds think alike, but the best minds are tag teams.
Teamwork certainly makes the dream work. And perhaps no tag team epitomizes that
better than the New Day.
It's a new day. Yes, it is.
Love saying that.
Reaching the power of positivity and pancake, Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods,
Big E capture the hearts of the WWE Universe with their fun, off -the -wall
hijinks and their talent and teamwork inside the ring.
an incredible 14 championship reigns between the trio, the New Day are
considered one of, if not the greatest tag team of the modern era.
If by probably you mean definitely, now we can start the conversation because I
don't want to toot our own horn, but...
It's a new day. Yes, it is.
Tis your boy, the new day.
Kofi Kingston, Biggie. Get it, Biggie. And Xavier Woods.
When you think about the new day, their energy, their excitement,
it jumps off the screen.
We have the power of positivity on our side. Hashtag POP.
It's a new day.
Over the past, I think, 10th year will be this year, we've never gotten into
kind of disagreement.
We've never even collided with each other in the ring.
I can't believe it's been a decade.
It's crazy knowing that we're coming up on 10 years of New Day, because at the
beginning, we were just three guys who were trying to keep our jobs.
When we first debuted New Day, people were not... Feeling it.
It was something different. Something very different.
But that's why we wanted to do that. Because how many guys on the roster are
just badass?
What if we just take a hard left and try something else?
New energy.
New emotion.
The love is real.
New day.
There is a load of talent in that three right there.
When we were met with rejection, it just brought us closer together.
We knew that we had great chemistry together. Anything that we did together
going to work.
Champions! We've got new champions!
The new day of tag team champions!
We never fought to be a leader. We never fought to diminish the other.
From the top turnbuckle, the big ending!
Woods launches with a flying elbow, and New Day's going to retain the gold.
The New Day accomplished more than any other team ever, ever, ever.
The free bird rule, you know, you never know what combination of the New Day
you're going to face.
How about some flight plan?
Woods kicks dead.
So is that almost like three individual tag teams in one group?
Free bird rule is where any two of the three members of a group can defend or
compete in tag titles.
Damn!
It's really smart for those guys because the longevity you can add to your
career is incredible.
Arguably one of the greatest tag teams in WWE history.
New Day became tag team triple crowners. New Day does it! New Day makes history!
Break out the champagne!
To look back and to think of the...
483 day tag title run, breaking a record that stood for 20 years.
483 days.
The new day has been your tag team.
We
kicked the
door wide open. Things that we were saying were like so outlandish.
We're throwing out pancakes.
It's working.
Getting people to do ridiculous things like wear unicorn horns on their head in
public.
It's just been so much fun.
It still is fun.
Oh my God, there's cake everywhere!
You keep doing what you're... As long as... This is tremendous!
It's a parade of pancakes!
Get it!
It's gonna be...
Now you're in sync?
Yeah, we stay in sync. We're always in sync. Very good chemistry.
Being able to connect with these guys on a professional level, but also, these
are my two brothers.
I would do anything for these guys.
Those two men mean so, so much to me. They are family. They are truly
We will always stay bonded.
I feel honored to be a part of the new day.
I'm really lucky to have met two people that I love as much as I love Woods and
Heath. So I'd never take that for granted.
Wow!
Who says you can't have a little
fun at work? The New Day certainly brings it wherever they go. But this
team only brought pain and destruction.
In the late 1980s, no duo personified heavy metal like Axe and Smash, aptly
named Demolition.
Featuring fight metal, leather attire, and demonic face paint, Demolition was
the stuff of nightmares.
And together, they dominated the tag team division.
You take a close look at this face, and you're gonna feel the pain of defeat.
Pain, pain, pain!
The music would hit, and you just... Here
comes the act.
Here comes the smash.
It's demolition.
Walking disaster.
Pain and destruction is our middle name.
Ooh, they were kicking butt and taking names back in the day.
While the monsters are here, it's alive.
And your nightmare is about to begin.
You think back to 1980s WWE.
You start rattling off tag team names just as much as single stars.
Demolition was the team that was at the top of that list.
I always remember like a little kid watching them wrestle and being really
scared.
Demolition wore face paint that almost made them resemble that band Kiss.
They were in black.
They had masks. And they'd take them off. And they're in makeup. And they're
going, ah.
And it's like, oh.
Where are you off to?
Demolish and destroy!
Who's behind?
Look at this!
He forgot about Smash!
Oh, Schwalbe and Fuji!
Those guys looked like they were going to do damage.
And that, to me, was so badass.
That's what they've been doing, demolishing opponents.
Well, let me tell you why they call me the ass.
Because I can cut down the biggest redwood there is.
There wasn't a lot of superstars that looked and acted that way. So they were
immediately distinct, and I think that's why they were able to make so much
noise so quickly in the tag team division.
Demolition won the tag team titles at WrestleMania IV and held on to them for
then record -setting 15 months.
Everybody take a good look at this belt. That means you're the best tag team
there is.
When you have two skilled wrestlers like both of them were, they showed how
great they were and how powerful they were.
Axe and Smash, Demolition, an awesome duo.
Maybe you only went to one show. Maybe you only watched one show.
But from that show, you would remember Demolition because they stood out so
much. It's war!
It's D -Day! It's D for Demolition!
Demolition were three -time world tag team champions with their first reign
lasting an unbelievable 478 days.
a record that stood for over a quarter century until the New Day broke it in
2016.
Speaking of breaking things, these next two guys made it their business to do
just that, with a preference towards breaking tables using human bodies.
Yes, kids, before the Bills Mafia, there was a legendary tag team called the
Dudley Boys.
Bubba Ray and D -Von Dudley emerged from the radically groundbreaking ECW.
It would take the WWE by storm during the famed Attitude Era. With intensity,
hardcore style, and those distinct matching glasses with tape in the
Dudleys became instant fan favorites. It would go on to become the winningest
tag team in the history of professional wrestling.
Testify!
Coming now.
From Dudleyville, Devon and Summer Rae, the Dudley Boys.
The Dudley. Oh, man.
The Dudleys look for this. They live tag team wrestling. They're the masters of
it. The most decorated tag team of all time, Dudley Boys.
18 -time world tag team champions.
We are the Dudley Boys.
The best tag team in the world today.
First time that I saw them, we heard that this wrestling called ECW was a
I was floored. I've never seen stuff this violent.
When it came to ECW and going too far, there was no such thing.
The Dudleys were absolutely brutal.
They also had such a distinctive look with, like, the glasses and then the tie
-dye. I definitely stood out and helped them once they got to WWE.
They're here, and the Dudleys are ready to fight!
The Dudley boys came in and almost instantly were beloved.
Thou shall not mess with the Dudleys!
In the ring, we had chemistry. We had timing.
We had that it factor, and we had the number one thing that every great tag
needs. You need a great tag team finish.
That is the most fun -to -watch
finishing move.
It's cool -looking, the guy's up in the air, and he gets kind of an RKO off the
ground.
They were the ones pushing, like, the edginess. They were the ones who were
and dynamic. They bring a creativity.
They bring a charisma.
Just so many memorable things that we all
love.
They felt like rock stars.
What are the Dudley Boys best known for?
Whenever you saw the Dudleys, you wanted to see them get the table.
If I know the Dudleys are coming out, I know these guys are going to
get tailored on it. I want to see them go through the table.
Oh, my God!
They're slamming Mae Young through a table. What the?
Oh, is that Mae Young? They don't care who they're putting on these tables.
Didn't matter who you were, you're getting put to a table. And that kind of
attitude is what made the Dudley boys stand out.
These guys have conquered it all!
The Dudley boys, to have as much success as they've had, is a testament to how
good of a team that they are.
We're the baddest tag team on the planet!
Me and D -Bomb were attached to the hip for 20 years.
We were a true tag team in every sense of the word.
The most decorated team of all time, the Dudley Boys!
Absolute legends who are a perfect complement to each other. And after all,
that's what tag team wrestling is all about. Playing to each other's
Another case in point, the Rock and Roll Express.
Debuting in the early 80s, the tandem of Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson were
wrestling's resident rock stars with... heartthrob good looks, a high voltage
dynamic, and an exciting offensive repertoire, the Rock and Roll Express
charm and captivate crowds all across the great U .S. of A.
From Tennessee, Ricky and Robert, the Rock and Roll Express!
It's hard to explain how popular.
The Rock and Roll Express were. They are nothing but excitement.
Here is the Rock and Roll Express, a tag team of the 80s. Bring more than Robert
Gibson. After ever, rock and roll is never going to fade away.
They were rock stars. They were teen idols in the 80s. Rock and Roll is here
stay. The Rock and Roll Express, the best babyface tag team of all time. Of
time, period.
There's something about them. They were going to come out there and they were
going to rock.
The people here, they are rockin' and rollin'. They set arenas on fire, and
people loved them, and they set a standard for tag team wrestling that I
think had ever been seen before.
They have really created excitement wherever they go.
Anytime you see the Rock and Roll Express, you see the best.
It seemed like they were 100 % in sync all the time.
Oh, hi!
Win championships all over, it shows how popular and how great they were.
We are the NWA World Tag Team Champions. We are the true Smoky Mountain
Tag Team Champions.
The Mid -South Tag Team Champions, the Rock and Roll Express.
They can work against the Road Warriors.
They can work against Midnight Express with Cornette.
It didn't matter. They were that good.
The latest entrant into the WWE Hall of Fame, Ricky Morton, Robert Gibson,
The Rock and Roll Express.
You are the greatest person I ever met in my life.
Thank you for everything.
Ladies and gentlemen, The Rock and Roll Express.
We got one thing behind us. That's all these nice folks out here. They stand
us. And brother, we stand for you.
Just the heart of champions. That was the Rock and Roll Express.
Remember one thing.
That rock and roll is here to stay.
Indeed, it is. And it was exactly that kind of youthful glam rock energy and
undeniable chemistry that solidified the Rock and Roll Express as one of the...
chemistry really is everything right and perhaps no duo was more in sync than
make -believe brothers in real life best friends edge and christian between
their grunge rock look beavis and butthead like camaraderie and high risk
flying offense e and c were one of the attitude era's most entertaining and
enduring tag team in the category of an
actor
Reeking of the most awesomeness, the Oscar goes to... Edge!
Oh, my!
I'm going to be sick.
They're entertainers as well as being great athletes. They're idiots.
What? What?
Edge and Christian were fun.
They weren't good guys. They were horrible guys. You know, they liked
people with chairs and causing chaos and winning by any means necessary, but
there was this certain aura of fun about them where even though the audience
booed them...
they still kind of liked them and they enjoyed the antics because they were
so entertaining when they were started singing like other people's theme songs
thought it was so funny those
guys they just had a swag about them very flamboyant you know very
confident in this game and i always appreciated that These are two guys
you know, really, they grew up together. When it came to being in ladder matches
and stuff like that, they knew the tag team championships. They knew exactly
to work together.
And then entertainment -wise, you know, that five -second pose.
For the benefit of those with black photography.
I don't exactly know what this is, but they would just always do this.
I've never seen anyone pose like this, though, is the thing. But I really enjoy
it, and that's the one I would do.
Maybe dressed as Elvis.
We call this one a hunk of hunk of edgy Christian.
In terms of like checking boxes, we checked a lot of boxes from the brood to
what we became.
I just feel like we both had the same mindset.
We get entertained, we would go. But when it was time to get them down, we
them down. These guys can be goofy like that. But when they go out there,
they're one of the best tag teams. They're definitely going to prove it. We
The kings of the ladder match.
Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!
And for the 20 -foot ladder!
Who else would do that?
Psychos. To this day and for the rest of time, people will say that that
Hardee's -Dudley's -Edge and Christian rivalry is maybe not just the greatest
tag team rivalry of all time, but one of the greatest rivalries of all time.
Edge and Christian have done it!
We were out there for each other and to make our team the best team. That was
the goal.
We wanted to be the best.
It's great that you have this duo that are so incredibly funny but also so
incredibly talented in the ring so they can back up all their shenanigans that
they were pulling.
This is good stuff.
Yeah, check out your pearly whites. They look great.
Look at you, you're in a costume.
Yeah, they're really coming in. They look great. The most photogenic tag team
ever. I think so.
You could just tell that they had a very, very special bond before ever,
stepping into a ring in WWE.
Let me get old Commissioner Mick there to get us a couple sodas, huh?
I'm harsh.
That soda's real.
Yeah, they do.
If I have to look back at one thing, we're at WrestleMania, and we're both
grabbing the tag team championships.
And looking over and seeing him beside me, I mean,
man, You can't beat it.
You just can't beat it.
Edge and Christian would win seven World Tag Team titles in their time together,
serving as an awesome first act in their legendary careers.
Both men would go on to achieve enormous success at singles, winning multiple
WWE World Championships, as well as headlining a number of WWE events.
And... Although tag team wrestling can certainly help launch a singles career
that next level, what happens in the reverse scenario?
When two already well -established main event players decide to unite and become
a tag team?
Well, if egos are in check, then that's a big if. The level of success these
super teams can attain together could be limitless.
Look at that.
Yes. They've had their differences in the past, but the Macho Man is extending
hand of friendship to the Hulk. We could be seeing the meaning of the madness
and the mania. Yes! There it is!
Sometimes we get two single stars come together and they just seem to click.
That tends to be the most successful super team.
We're a world tag team champ.
If you can get on a super team, Then you do it.
You see it at sports all the time.
LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Vince Fox.
You don't expect those teams. So when it happens, it's just extra special.
We will do what we want. No one can stop us.
A super team that I loved was the two -man power trip.
Triple H and Stone Cold. These two run the whole company as it is. Now that
they're a tag team, unstoppable.
Rated RKO.
I really hated Edge, and I really hated Randy Orton. Now these guys are a team.
Two dudes with attitude.
The perfect combination of size and speed.
Big Sean Undertaker.
It's not even fair.
Shawn Michaels, Stone Cold Steve Austin.
They did not give up. They still won the tag team title.
X -Pac and Kane.
McFoley and Kane, too.
There's been so many. RBD and Kane.
Well, King's got a lot of partners, huh?
He's chokeslammed all of them.
What is going on here? They're partners.
I love the dynamic of a team that you can't figure out how to beat.
My goodness, this super group.
You can go all the way back to the Mega Palace.
The symbol of greatness.
Macho Man Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan.
The mega, yeah, the mega, yeah, the mega power, yeah.
Mega power, yeah.
You had these two bigger than life characters, colorful, but all of a
when they came together, it was like something was going to be unstoppable.
Kane and Undertaker, the brothers of destruction.
Amazing to see them on the same page.
I'll say it. They're not there.
Hell hath no fury but these two.
He has a great tag team in the ring, but I'm more interested in what was their
cohesion like when they left the arena.
If you're Undertaker, the whole deal is that you burned the house down, Kane
stuck inside.
That's arson, attempted murder.
I don't know if he sent him an edible arrangement, got him a couple bottles of
Jack, but Kane saying, hey, it's true, let's do a tag team now and mess
everybody else up.
What's going on?
I know people don't talk about the Rock and Sock connection.
Rock and Sock!
It was almost comical because they were so different. Polar opposites.
Rock comes out with such a shirt, the eyebrow, the glasses, and mankind is
dressed like he found that shirt two minutes before he walked out.
It's the most unlikely tag team ever, JR.
Such an amazing dynamic between these two characters.
The Rock thanks you for that.
Don't come into our division if you're not a real team. Get out. We don't want
you. Go back for your singles titles. Fight for the IC title. Fight for the
world title.
For fans, it's incredible.
The tag teams that already exist, I'm sure it's frustrating.
I think it's similar to the NBA.
You get the best of the best together, everyone else gets jealous.
I know that they're not a real team.
That's Super Team Brad.
Get out of our division.
Okay, okay, simmer downwards.
There's plenty of room for everyone.
Now, whether you're assembling an Avengers -level team or a street -level
Defenders -style team, the recipe for ultimate success remains.
The sum is greater than the parts, which is exactly what struggling single
-stars Road Dogg and Billy Gunn figured out when they set aside their rivalry
and joined forces.
Turns out these degenerate...
were perfect soulmates and became one of the most prolific tandems in the famed
attitude era as part of DX.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, I give you the New
Age Outlaw.
Both Billy Gunn and the Road Dogg were kind of lost at sea.
You had Billy Gunn as Rockabilly and Road Dogg as the real Double J.
Neither one of them.
We're connecting with the crowd.
You know, me and you got a lot in common.
Willie Will, are you with me?
So they just got pasted together to see what happens.
And what happens is one of the greatest tag teams of all time.
Oh, you didn't know?
You better call somebody!
I didn't love the outlaws, all right. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,
children of all ages, we are the World Wrestling Federation.
Tag!
Sometimes it takes a while to find what works with guys. And once they found
that, it really was lightning in a bottle.
Those guys just took off and they ran with the ball. They go out there and
they're just having fun.
You could tell that these dudes were like legit best friends.
And they played off of each other so well, the chemistry was just there.
We'd love to get entertained. We'd love to laugh.
But that stuff in Cactus Jack changed her charlie in a dumpster and pushing it
off the stage.
Reckless.
I remember when they joined DX, I was super pumped because it just felt like
they fit in. There has been a marriage made straight from heaven.
They 100 % fit right into what they were doing and right in with the attitude.
If you're not down with the new age outlaws, we got two words for you.
Putting them in DX solidified them as big time players.
You saw badass Billy Gunn going out there shaking his hips like you want to
shake your hips, you know? Billy Gunn is 65, 260 pounds and moves like he's a
buck fifty.
Road Dogg is so ridiculous and such a larger -than -life character.
Welcome to the dog house!
Road Dogg was a mouthpiece, you know? He could talk his way through anything.
You know that D -O -double -D always kicks that shit in the doggy style!
They truly brought a new level for tag team wrestling.
Because they were entertaining and they were fun and they were multidimensional.
We're about to take you straight down memory lane.
When the New Age Outlaws had their return run and it led to the match at
WrestleMania 30, it was just fun.
And that chemistry is still there.
Six times WWE Tag Team Champions of the World.
Wow. Incredible to see that kind of longevity and impact.
True icons of the Attitude Era. In fact, the Attitude Era was just stacked with
killer tag teams. Among them, the Hardy Boy. The high -flying, high -risk
-taking duo of Jeff and Matt Hardy. One of the most influential tag teams in WWE
history, the Hardys set a new bar for innovative and extreme wrestling. A
that hasn't been topped to this day.
Arguably the greatest tag team of all time.
The Hardy Boys are one of the faces of tag team wrestling.
You knew that when they came to the ring, they were just going to bring a
different level of energy, different type of skill set.
They were like daredevils. They were like something different.
These guys, I mean, they sacrificed their bodies every minute of every
The Hardy Boys were instantly identifiable because of their offense.
I have never seen any offense like that. They were great for taking what you
expected and flipping that expectation on its head.
They would be jumping off ladders, jumping off of whatever they posited,
titantron. My God, what is he doing? Oh,
God! Oh!
They were incredible athletes.
They had such great chemistry together. They were very different in their
technique and their look.
They just, like, looked so cool with the fishnets and the colors.
They really spoke, I think, to the younger audience.
They were always themselves, and they were unapologetically themselves. They
didn't care what people thought, and I think people actually enjoyed that more.
Talk about excitement!
Talk about extreme! Matt and Jeff Hardy, baby!
I mean, they wrote the book on tag team ladder matches.
These guys are crazy. The Hardy Boys are crazy.
The Hardy Boys represent that extreme style.
They really, really raised the standard for what ladder matches
were. The Hardys, you made history in tables, ladders, and chairs matches.
One of my favorite career moments, hosting WrestleMania.
This ladder match.
has now become a fatal four -way.
And then the moment that their music hit.
What? Oh, my!
You've got to be kidding me!
Matt and Jeff, the Hardy Boys are here!
This is the first time in almost seven years And the Hardys have teamed in WWE.
This is insane.
Everyone here inside the Citrus Bowl is in shock.
That was one of those surprises that never got spoiled.
Oh, no.
Twist of fate from the top of the ladder.
Jeff Hardy, the thrill seeker.
Swad, pod, bomb.
To be able to bring them back to be a very small part of that moment.
It's incredible because Matt and Jeff knew so much of tag team wrestling.
Eight -time WWE tag team champions.
They set the tone for all of us who came after them. We all just wanted to
follow the heart. We all hoped to leave a stamp on the industry on tag team
wrestling in the way that they had.
Their goal of a lifetime was to make it in WWE, and they've done that. Two guys
that have given everything, their lives, their bodies, and they love it.
And the fans love them.
Unpredictability!
Unexpectedness! Two absolute legends and guys that deserve their flower for what
they've not only done for tag team wrestling, but wrestling in general.
My blood pressure skyrockets just watching those guys.
Incredible athletes that left an indelible mark on the tag team division.
Now, the Legion of Doom.
They were into leaving different kinds of marks.
The black and blue kind, also known as the road warriors, the team of animal
hawk, were the standard bearer of tag teams. Their mere presence sent chills
the spines of their opponents with their iconic face paint, spiked football
shoulder pads, and the dreaded doomsday device.
Their pops were legendary, giving fans a rush they would never forget.
The LOD.
Oh, what a rush.
My favorite tag team of all time.
From Chicago, accompanied by their manager, Paul Ellering. Road Warrior
Road Warrior Animal.
The Legion of Doom.
They, to me, are the tag team.
We are walking dead. We are the Road Warriors.
In our business, one thing we always talk about is the Road Warrior Pop.
Like, you always want a road warrior pop because those guys would come out and
get a pop like none other.
Those guys came out, you couldn't hear anything.
My all -time favorite tactic, the spikes, the paint, the jackness.
We snack on danger.
We dine on death.
And dead men don't make money. Watching them on TV.
I was just hooked from the beginning.
You're facing the best team in professional wrestling today. From the
Chicago, we're talking the real deal.
Everything that the Legion of Doom did looked like they couldn't be stopped.
We want the World Wrestling Federation titles, and we want them bad.
I've never seen them live, and I suspected it was one of the coolest
ever witnessed.
Wherever the Rose Warriors went, they captured gold. Whether it was the AWA,
Japan, WCW, or WWE.
The Legion of Doom will never be closet champions.
We will face all challenges. We're coming after you.
They like to hurt people. They're very dangerous.
So many times you'd watch them and just hands on your head like...
That guy might be dead. They were a team that set the standard for dominating
their opponents.
They just can't seem to handle the Legion of Doom. We are the best that
wrestling has to offer today.
They were always a force to be reckoned with, and they won every championship
you can think of.
Nobody does it like the Legion of Doom.
I still, no matter who accomplishes what, find myself going back.
The Legion of Doom has the greatest tag team of all time.
You set him up, we knock him down.
What a rush!
Oh, what a rush!
I can never do it as good as they can.
Anyway, two -time tag team champ, the Legion of Doom are no doubt on the tag
team Mount Rushmore.
But right next to them is our final duo, twin brothers Jimmy and Jay, better
known as the Usos. Eight -time WWE Tag Team Champion, the Usos elevated their
game to new heights during the Bloodlines reign and put together one of
successful runs in the history of sports entertainment.
It's hard to argue that the Usos aren't one of the greatest tag teams to ever
exist.
They're legit one of the best.
Brothers, twins, and this industry is in their blood.
They have just continually raised the bar every single time they've stepped in
the ring.
The Usos are so incredible, one, because they're cheating.
They're twins, and that's unfair.
That level of connection, they're always on the same page.
Even when you're watching them, they're communicating with each other without
saying a word. It's just a look or they just know where each other's going to
be. And that type of teamwork really stands out.
I mean, you can't deny family and them being brothers.
I mean, it's the whole package.
They have so many names in their legacy to live up to.
Of course, from the Anoa 'i family, the great wild Samoans, Zapa and Sika, their
father, of course, Rikishi, The Rock, Roman Reign.
So having that drive makes them an incredible type.
The Usos, much like every single member of their family, are amazing at
adapting. The original incarnation of the Usos was awesome.
The Samoan culture is very proud, and I think early on they were very proud to
show their heritage.
But then it kind of morphed to where they
were proud and they wanted to show who they were as people.
We went from face paint to snapbacks, from rainbow colors to white and black,
from wrestling tights to the all white. We went from they might be all right to
yeah, yeah, yeah, we had a match of the night.
The Usos were able, especially once under the umbrella of the bloodline, to
a pocket of success that no one was able to touch and conquer or come anywhere
close to.
The historic reign for Jimmy and Che Uso has now lasted 622
days. The Usos are very much so influential that they made tag team
cool again, all the way to the point that they main evented WrestleMania.
arguably the greatest tag team of the modern era and here we are closing out
wrestlemania as tag team champion the usos were the very first tag team to
event wrestlemania they've broken down so many barriers deserve that spot
more than anyone To be able to do that as brothers is beyond special.
How do you prepare for two brothers who ain't got nothing to lose? You can't.
How do you prepare for two brothers that's been there since day one?
Jimmy and Jay, the O's!
It is so rare to see a long -time tag team like them go their separate ways
get to the point of being main eventers.
That is really a testament to their ability, not only as a tag team, not
a collective, but individually. They're just so incredibly talented and hungry.
The legacy they've left behind as a tag team here is going to be very hard to
match.
Guaranteed Hall of Famers as a tag team. I can't say enough good things about
them. I really can't.
For my money, the Usos are the greatest tag team in history.
Welcome to the Uso Penitentiary.
The Usos are absolute dogs who are leading the renaissance of tag team
in WWE, setting the stage for the next chapter in tag team lore.
We hope you've enjoyed this look back at the most awesome tag team in WWE
history. I'm your host, Greg Miller, and it's been my pleasure to serve you.
On the next This is Awesome, the most awesome intercontinental champion in WWE
history. They've come here tonight to see a real champion, not some cheap
imitation. From the dynamic.
And the ravishing.
Give the ladies a good look at the sexiest man alive.
To the dominant. Perhaps the most unstoppable intercontinental champion of
time. And the boundary break.

only on the neck. This is all.
