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 scenes 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 thumb of the card...
are what truly matter.
Chemistry, synergy, and energy are often the difference 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
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.
OMG, 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
everyone else had written in order to be successful.
It's awesome.
Tag team wrestling is awesome.
I am the tag team champions.
I'm the tag team champions.
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, gritty style to me.
Johnny's got a bit more flash.
Oh, my God!
For the Viking Raiders.
Eric, he's smaller than two, and he's a 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
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.
Absolute chemistry pressure on our head, brother, was what really made us a
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 out.
I've had some really great moments with those tag teams.
Even with Ben Ballard, 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 problem.
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 match. This year, night one, main event,
tag team match.
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 pancakes.
Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, and 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
probably considered one of, if not the, greatest tag teams 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
but... It's a new day! Yes, it is!
Give your boys 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 P .O .P. 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.
It's a new day!
It's a new day!
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.
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 are tag team champions.
We never fought to be a leader. We never fought to diminish the other.
From the top turnbuckle. Oh, no.
The big ending.
Woods launches with a wide elbow.
And New Day is 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?
One, take that!
So it was almost like three individual tag teams in one group.
Freeboard rule is where any two of the three members of the group can defend or
complete a tag title.
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!
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
brothers. 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
Luke. So I'd never take that for granted.
Who says you can't have a little fun at work? The new day certainly brings it
wherever they go.
But this next tag 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 space, 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 -up.
It's demolition.
Walking disaster.
Pain and destruction is our middle name.
Ooh, they were kicking butt and taking names back in the day.
Well, 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, as a little kid, watching them wrestle and being
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.
We're out to demolish and destroy.
Who's behind?
Look at this.
He forgot about Smash.
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 app.
Because I can cut down the biggest wet wood there is.
Timber!
I like to drive them straight off a cliff and watch them smash!
We're in the smithereens!
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.
Oh, look out!
It's over!
New tag team champions!
Demolition won the tag team titles at WrestleMania IV and held on to them for
then record -setting 15 months.
When you have two skilled wrestlers like both of them were, they showed how
great they were and how powerful they were.
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.
Ready 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
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
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, a hardcore style, and those distinct matching glasses with
in the center, the Dudleys became instant fan favorites.
It would go on to become the winningest tag team in the history of professional
wrestling. Testify!
Coming down.
From Dudleyville, Devon and Bubba Ray, the Dudley Boys.
The Dudley. Oh, man.
The Dudleys live 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 thing. 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. It 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 team 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.
The... There's 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 tabled out at a certain point in time. I want to see them go through the
table. Oh, my God!
They're slamming Mae Young through the table. What the hell?
Oh, is that Mae Young? They don't care who they're putting on these tables.
It didn't matter who you were, you were getting put through 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 -Von 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 strengths.
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 would charm and captivate crowds all across the
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's the Rock and Roll Express, a tag team of the 80s. Great Morton and Robert
Gibson are forever. 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 was the best babyface tag team of all time. Of
all 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.
Any time you see the Rockin' Roll Express, you see the best.
It seemed like they were 100 % in sync all the time.
To 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
or 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 today.
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
You know, they liked hitting 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 their antics because they were
just so entertaining when they were 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 their skin 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 how to work together.
And then entertainment -wise, you know, that five -second pose.
For the benefit of those with flash 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 go.
But when it was time to get them down, we got them down. These guys can be
like that. But when they go out there, they're one of the best tag teams.
They're definitely going to prove it. We are.
The kings of the ladder match.
Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
Oh, my God! And for the 21 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.
This is 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 white. 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
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.
Tag Team Christian are the new Tag Team Champions!
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.
Death. They've had their differences in the past, but the Macho Man is extending
the hand of friendship to the holster. 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 in sports all the time.
LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, this box.
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 strength.
Big Sean Undertaker.
It's not even fair.
Shawn Michaels, Stone Cold Steve Austin. They did not kick the ball. They still
won the tag team title.
X -Pac and Kane.
Mick Foley and Kane, too.
There's been so many. RBD and Kane.
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 powers.
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 like 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 and 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 be a tag team now and mess everybody else up.
What's going on?
Enough 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. Nobody can beat us.
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 crap.
Get out of our division.
Okay, okay, simmer down, Woods.
There's plenty of room for everyone.
Now, whether you're assembling an Avengers -level team or a street -level
Defender -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
prolific tandems in the famed attitude era. It's part of the X.
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 happened.
And what happens, it's 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.
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 bad friends.
And they played off of each other so well, the chemistry was just there.
The New Age Outlaws are shaving Hawk's mohawk! This is absolutely unheard of!
We'd love to get entertained. We'd love to laugh.
But them stuffing Cactus Jack and James Hurt Charlie in a dumpster and pushing
it off the stage.
Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Oh, my God! Don't you dare do that!
Let go of these people in there!
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 was 6 '5", 260 pounds, and moves like
about 50.
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'd talk his way through anything.
You know that D -O -double -G always takes that year's net.
Doggy style!
They truly brought a new level to 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 Boys, the high -flying, high -risk -taking duo of Jeff
Matt Hardy. One of the most influential tag teams in WWE history, the Hardys set
a new bar for innovative and extreme wrestling, a bar...
That hasn't been topped to this day.
Arguably the greatest tag team of all time.
The Hardy Boy was 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 dead devils. 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 possibly
the 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 the
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 just represent that extreme style.
They really, really raised the standards for what ladder matches were.
The Hardys who made history in tables, ladders, and chairs matches.
One of my favorite career moments, hosting WrestleMania.
And then the moment that their music hit.
What? Oh, my!
You've got to be kidding me!
Man, it's Jeff!
The Hardy Boys are here!
This is the first time in almost seven years that the Hardys have teamed in
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, swan, cod, bob.
To be able to bring them back, to be a very small part of that moment is
incredible because Matt and Jeff mean so much to tag team wrestling.
Eight -time WWA tag team champions.
They set the tone for all of us who came after them. We all just wanted to
follow the artist. 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
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 flowers 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 and Hawk were the
bearer of tag teams. Their mere presence sent chills up 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 a 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.
They're dead men. Don't make money.
Watching them on TV, I was 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 in a square garden, and that was one of the coolest things I've
ever witnessed.
Hulk is up there!
He nailed it!
We got him!
Wherever the Royal Warriors went, they captured gold.
Whether it was the AWA, Japan, WCW, or WWE.
The Legion of Doom will never be...
closet champion.
We will face all challenges. We're coming after you.
They like to hurt people. They're very dangerous.
So many times you've watched them and just hands on your head like, that guy
might be dead. They were 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 to the Legion of Doom as the greatest tag team
all time.
You set them up, we knock them down.
What a rush!
I can never do it as good as they can.
Anyway, two -time tag team champs, 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 champions, the Usos elevated their game to new heights
during the Bloodlines reign and put together one of the most successful runs
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.
Oh, wow, into a Samoan drop.
I mean, you can't deny family and them being brothers.
I mean, it's the whole package.
He is my blood.
He is my twin.
He is my brother. He is my family.
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 Zika, their
father, of course, Rikishi, the rock, Roman reign.
So having that drive makes them an incredible tag team.
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 mass in 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 Jey Uso has now lasted 622 days.
The Usos are very much so influential that they made tag team wrestling 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 champions.
The Usos were the very first tag team to main 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 down since day one jimmy and jay the fool
It is so rare to see a longtime tag team like them go their separate ways and
get to the point of being main eventers. That is really a testament to their
ability, not only as a tag, not only as 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.

in WWE, setting the stage for the next chapter in tag team lore.
