Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:08,280
You know that feeling we all get when
WWE is totally awesome? Ooh, yeah!
2
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:15,840
That feeling of fun, nostalgia, the
memories that made you a lifelong fan.
3
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:21,200
Like the most awesome tag teams in WWE
history.
4
00:00:23,340 --> 00:00:28,040
From the extreme and destructive.
5
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:30,580
To the extraordinary.
6
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:37,040
And the degenerate.
7
00:00:39,220 --> 00:00:43,280
These are the iconic team of the WWE.
8
00:00:44,500 --> 00:00:47,120
That reek of awesomeness.
9
00:00:48,460 --> 00:00:50,940
And bring us to our feet.
10
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,140
To chant in unison.
11
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,740
This is awesome.
12
00:01:11,980 --> 00:01:16,200
Welcome to This is Awesome, the only
show that celebrates the most awesome
13
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,240
everything. Then, now, forever, and
together.
14
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,900
I'm your host, Greg Miller, at
GameOverGreggy on Instagram and Threads,
15
00:01:24,900 --> 00:01:31,060
today, we bring you the most awesome tag
teams in WWE history, where it's all
16
00:01:31,060 --> 00:01:32,620
about the power of two.
17
00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:38,500
There's no more unique form of wrestling
competition than tag team wrestling,
18
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,520
where the sum of the parts...
19
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:46,240
are what truly matter. Chemistry,
synergy, and energy are often the
20
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,660
makers between success and failure.
21
00:01:48,900 --> 00:01:53,920
And when a tag team possesses all those
ingredients, the results are some of the
22
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,960
most memorable matches and action in all
of sports entertainment.
23
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,260
Tag team wrestling is the best form of
wrestling.
24
00:02:04,860 --> 00:02:09,199
There's different people, there's
different options, there's different
25
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,540
And I think within that, you kind of get
your own art form of a different type
26
00:02:14,540 --> 00:02:15,339
of match.
27
00:02:15,340 --> 00:02:17,860
Let's say you like cars. Would you
rather have two cars or four?
28
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:20,360
That's a no -brainer.
29
00:02:20,380 --> 00:02:24,700
You guys have to work together to figure
out how to achieve this one goal. When
30
00:02:24,700 --> 00:02:28,560
you're able to overcome all of that, you
know that you've done something cool,
31
00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:29,640
unique, and special.
32
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,440
I've always loved tag teams, ever since
I was a kid.
33
00:02:35,540 --> 00:02:38,560
Rockers were my favorite tag team. They
were fast. They were high -flying.
34
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,000
Sensational. The Steiner brothers were
the greatest tag team of all time, in my
35
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,100
opinion. How are you going to beat 285
-pound Scott Steiner, 300 -pound Rick
36
00:02:48,100 --> 00:02:49,480
Steiner? You're not.
37
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,200
Steiner brothers are awesome.
38
00:02:52,500 --> 00:02:54,300
My favorite is the Kabuki Warriors.
39
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,420
I love the way that they move in the
ring. I love the style.
40
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:05,300
I was always a big fan of APA, the
Mexicals, Chavo and Eddie.
41
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,680
People always laugh at me when I say
this, but I'm completely serious.
42
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:09,960
Billy and Chuck.
43
00:03:10,450 --> 00:03:14,990
It was showing people you didn't have to
live by the rules that everyone else
44
00:03:14,990 --> 00:03:16,470
had written in order to be successful.
45
00:03:21,810 --> 00:03:22,810
It's awesome.
46
00:03:30,850 --> 00:03:32,370
Tag team wrestling is awesome.
47
00:03:40,750 --> 00:03:45,430
I feel like with tag teams, you kind of
want one of two things. You either want
48
00:03:45,430 --> 00:03:50,810
two guys who are just very, very
similar, or you want two guys who have
49
00:03:50,810 --> 00:03:54,150
dynamic where one brings to the table
what the other one doesn't.
50
00:03:54,410 --> 00:03:58,830
For DIY, I'd have that more intense
green style to me.
51
00:03:59,070 --> 00:04:00,430
Johnny's got a bit more slash.
52
00:04:01,210 --> 00:04:02,210
Oh, my God!
53
00:04:02,930 --> 00:04:04,270
We're the Viking Raiders.
54
00:04:04,690 --> 00:04:07,890
Eric, he's smaller of the two. He's the
powerhouse.
55
00:04:08,650 --> 00:04:11,610
And then I'm the big one, but I'm the
high flyer.
56
00:04:12,150 --> 00:04:16,350
And that's not the dynamic that you get
from any other tag team in the history
57
00:04:16,350 --> 00:04:17,269
of pro wrestling.
58
00:04:17,269 --> 00:04:20,089
The Viking Raiders playing on their
terms.
59
00:04:20,550 --> 00:04:24,310
I think what makes the tag team work is
a true, genuine friendship.
60
00:04:24,950 --> 00:04:27,410
Me and Austin Theory, we're best mates.
61
00:04:28,790 --> 00:04:33,470
When I got put in my first tag team, it
gave me a sisterhood with women that I
62
00:04:33,470 --> 00:04:35,090
will love and be friends with forever.
63
00:04:36,270 --> 00:04:39,270
I mean, I've been turned on a lot,
though, actually, now that I'm actually
64
00:04:39,270 --> 00:04:42,990
thinking about it. I think almost every
tag team partner I've ever had has
65
00:04:42,990 --> 00:04:45,950
turned on me, except for Kel. I love
her, Kel. She's a real one.
66
00:04:47,630 --> 00:04:48,630
Well,
67
00:04:48,930 --> 00:04:50,110
I'll be damned.
68
00:04:52,390 --> 00:04:58,170
When it is going naturally and you're in
a tag team, there's nothing like it.
69
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:04,100
The absolute chemistry pressure on our
hands, brother, was what really made us
70
00:05:04,100 --> 00:05:05,980
success. We'll use the key.
71
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:11,080
Well, he and I already both didn't mind
having a beer, two, or ten.
72
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:12,760
Awesome crew.
73
00:05:13,100 --> 00:05:14,100
Miz and Morrison.
74
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:15,920
Show Miz.
75
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:17,500
Miz and Miz Val.
76
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,200
I've had some really great moments with
those tag teams.
77
00:05:22,280 --> 00:05:24,980
Teaming with Finn Balor. I have a buddy
that I can pick his brain.
78
00:05:25,470 --> 00:05:28,970
I could feed off of in the ring, and we
could create magic together.
79
00:05:29,490 --> 00:05:33,090
The Street Profits, Angelo Dawkins,
Montez Ford.
80
00:05:33,370 --> 00:05:34,570
It's like peanut butter and jelly.
81
00:05:37,130 --> 00:05:43,070
Being a part of this new resurgence of
tag team wrestling, it's an honor.
82
00:05:43,450 --> 00:05:48,610
I mean, last year, main event, tag team,
man. This year, night one, main event,
83
00:05:48,750 --> 00:05:49,750
tag team, man.
84
00:05:50,170 --> 00:05:54,530
They say great minds think alike, but
the best minds are tag teams.
85
00:06:01,359 --> 00:06:06,460
Teamwork certainly makes the dream work.
And perhaps no tag team epitomizes that
86
00:06:06,460 --> 00:06:08,100
better than the New Day.
87
00:06:08,380 --> 00:06:10,260
It's a new day. Yes, it is.
88
00:06:10,700 --> 00:06:11,820
Love saying that.
89
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:17,980
Reaching the power of positivity and
pancake, Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods,
90
00:06:17,980 --> 00:06:22,900
Big E capture the hearts of the WWE
Universe with their fun, off -the -wall
91
00:06:22,900 --> 00:06:26,520
hijinks and their talent and teamwork
inside the ring.
92
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:33,600
an incredible 14 championship reigns
between the trio, the New Day are
93
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:38,860
considered one of, if not the greatest
tag team of the modern era.
94
00:06:40,660 --> 00:06:45,780
If by probably you mean definitely, now
we can start the conversation because I
95
00:06:45,780 --> 00:06:48,480
don't want to toot our own horn, but...
96
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,580
It's a new day. Yes, it is.
97
00:06:54,840 --> 00:06:57,860
Tis your boy, the new day.
98
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:04,440
Kofi Kingston, Biggie. Get it, Biggie.
And Xavier Woods.
99
00:07:04,980 --> 00:07:10,280
When you think about the new day, their
energy, their excitement,
100
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,320
it jumps off the screen.
101
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:19,740
We have the power of positivity on our
side. Hashtag POP.
102
00:07:19,980 --> 00:07:21,200
It's a new day.
103
00:07:22,510 --> 00:07:27,770
Over the past, I think, 10th year will
be this year, we've never gotten into
104
00:07:27,770 --> 00:07:28,770
kind of disagreement.
105
00:07:29,250 --> 00:07:31,390
We've never even collided with each
other in the ring.
106
00:07:35,250 --> 00:07:39,590
I can't believe it's been a decade.
107
00:07:40,610 --> 00:07:43,610
It's crazy knowing that we're coming up
on 10 years of New Day, because at the
108
00:07:43,610 --> 00:07:45,850
beginning, we were just three guys who
were trying to keep our jobs.
109
00:07:48,770 --> 00:07:52,180
When we first debuted New Day, people
were not... Feeling it.
110
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,760
It was something different. Something
very different.
111
00:08:01,020 --> 00:08:04,520
But that's why we wanted to do that.
Because how many guys on the roster are
112
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:05,520
just badass?
113
00:08:05,540 --> 00:08:07,940
What if we just take a hard left and try
something else?
114
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:09,960
New energy.
115
00:08:10,700 --> 00:08:11,760
New emotion.
116
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,260
The love is real.
117
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:14,560
New day.
118
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,500
There is a load of talent in that three
right there.
119
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,220
When we were met with rejection, it just
brought us closer together.
120
00:08:22,980 --> 00:08:27,080
We knew that we had great chemistry
together. Anything that we did together
121
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:28,080
going to work.
122
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,140
Champions! We've got new champions!
123
00:08:31,420 --> 00:08:34,440
The new day of tag team champions!
124
00:08:35,179 --> 00:08:39,760
We never fought to be a leader. We never
fought to diminish the other.
125
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:44,039
From the top turnbuckle, the big ending!
126
00:08:44,700 --> 00:08:49,080
Woods launches with a flying elbow, and
New Day's going to retain the gold.
127
00:08:49,300 --> 00:08:54,780
The New Day accomplished more than any
other team ever, ever, ever.
128
00:08:55,140 --> 00:08:58,340
The free bird rule, you know, you never
know what combination of the New Day
129
00:08:58,340 --> 00:08:59,059
you're going to face.
130
00:08:59,060 --> 00:09:00,220
How about some flight plan?
131
00:09:00,500 --> 00:09:01,760
Woods kicks dead.
132
00:09:02,060 --> 00:09:05,280
So is that almost like three individual
tag teams in one group?
133
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:10,760
Free bird rule is where any two of the
three members of a group can defend or
134
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:11,760
compete in tag titles.
135
00:09:11,980 --> 00:09:12,980
Damn!
136
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,680
It's really smart for those guys because
the longevity you can add to your
137
00:09:16,680 --> 00:09:17,680
career is incredible.
138
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:22,640
Arguably one of the greatest tag teams
in WWE history.
139
00:09:23,140 --> 00:09:30,120
New Day became tag team triple crowners.
New Day does it! New Day makes history!
140
00:09:30,500 --> 00:09:31,620
Break out the champagne!
141
00:09:34,740 --> 00:09:38,240
To look back and to think of the...
142
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:44,380
483 day tag title run, breaking a record
that stood for 20 years.
143
00:09:45,940 --> 00:09:47,420
483 days.
144
00:09:48,380 --> 00:09:53,320
The new day has been your tag team.
145
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:55,880
We
146
00:09:55,880 --> 00:10:02,760
kicked the
147
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,040
door wide open. Things that we were
saying were like so outlandish.
148
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:07,860
We're throwing out pancakes.
149
00:10:08,940 --> 00:10:09,879
It's working.
150
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:15,160
Getting people to do ridiculous things
like wear unicorn horns on their head in
151
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:16,160
public.
152
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:19,540
It's just been so much fun.
153
00:10:19,740 --> 00:10:20,880
It still is fun.
154
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,280
Oh my God, there's cake everywhere!
155
00:10:25,500 --> 00:10:31,580
You keep doing what you're... As long
as... This is tremendous!
156
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,020
It's a parade of pancakes!
157
00:10:33,500 --> 00:10:35,180
Get it!
158
00:10:37,180 --> 00:10:38,460
It's gonna be...
159
00:10:40,619 --> 00:10:41,900
Now you're in sync?
160
00:10:42,300 --> 00:10:44,560
Yeah, we stay in sync. We're always in
sync. Very good chemistry.
161
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:50,640
Being able to connect with these guys on
a professional level, but also, these
162
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:51,479
are my two brothers.
163
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,040
I would do anything for these guys.
164
00:10:54,440 --> 00:11:01,340
Those two men mean so, so much to me.
They are family. They are truly
165
00:11:01,860 --> 00:11:03,480
We will always stay bonded.
166
00:11:03,780 --> 00:11:06,480
I feel honored to be a part of the new
day.
167
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:12,820
I'm really lucky to have met two people
that I love as much as I love Woods and
168
00:11:12,820 --> 00:11:15,880
Heath. So I'd never take that for
granted.
169
00:11:16,420 --> 00:11:17,420
Wow!
170
00:11:19,580 --> 00:11:26,500
Who says you can't have a little
171
00:11:26,500 --> 00:11:32,260
fun at work? The New Day certainly
brings it wherever they go. But this
172
00:11:32,260 --> 00:11:34,800
team only brought pain and destruction.
173
00:11:35,580 --> 00:11:42,400
In the late 1980s, no duo personified
heavy metal like Axe and Smash, aptly
174
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:43,720
named Demolition.
175
00:11:44,140 --> 00:11:49,500
Featuring fight metal, leather attire,
and demonic face paint, Demolition was
176
00:11:49,500 --> 00:11:50,580
the stuff of nightmares.
177
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,120
And together, they dominated the tag
team division.
178
00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:01,280
You take a close look at this face, and
you're gonna feel the pain of defeat.
179
00:12:01,620 --> 00:12:03,400
Pain, pain, pain!
180
00:12:06,220 --> 00:12:12,580
The music would hit, and you just...
Here
181
00:12:12,580 --> 00:12:14,500
comes the act.
182
00:12:14,980 --> 00:12:16,560
Here comes the smash.
183
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:18,800
It's demolition.
184
00:12:19,700 --> 00:12:20,740
Walking disaster.
185
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:27,100
Pain and destruction is our middle name.
186
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,220
Ooh, they were kicking butt and taking
names back in the day.
187
00:12:31,820 --> 00:12:34,520
While the monsters are here, it's alive.
188
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,220
And your nightmare is about to begin.
189
00:12:37,620 --> 00:12:40,040
You think back to 1980s WWE.
190
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,560
You start rattling off tag team names
just as much as single stars.
191
00:12:45,220 --> 00:12:47,300
Demolition was the team that was at the
top of that list.
192
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,980
I always remember like a little kid
watching them wrestle and being really
193
00:12:50,980 --> 00:12:51,980
scared.
194
00:12:52,740 --> 00:12:56,300
Demolition wore face paint that almost
made them resemble that band Kiss.
195
00:12:56,780 --> 00:12:57,800
They were in black.
196
00:12:58,020 --> 00:13:01,060
They had masks. And they'd take them
off. And they're in makeup. And they're
197
00:13:01,060 --> 00:13:01,799
going, ah.
198
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:02,800
And it's like, oh.
199
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:04,800
Where are you off to?
200
00:13:05,310 --> 00:13:06,850
Demolish and destroy!
201
00:13:08,430 --> 00:13:09,430
Who's behind?
202
00:13:10,230 --> 00:13:11,230
Look at this!
203
00:13:11,710 --> 00:13:13,250
He forgot about Smash!
204
00:13:13,990 --> 00:13:15,970
Oh, Schwalbe and Fuji!
205
00:13:17,630 --> 00:13:21,830
Those guys looked like they were going
to do damage.
206
00:13:22,570 --> 00:13:25,050
And that, to me, was so badass.
207
00:13:25,810 --> 00:13:28,290
That's what they've been doing,
demolishing opponents.
208
00:13:29,350 --> 00:13:31,570
Well, let me tell you why they call me
the ass.
209
00:13:31,910 --> 00:13:34,710
Because I can cut down the biggest
redwood there is.
210
00:13:42,830 --> 00:13:47,710
There wasn't a lot of superstars that
looked and acted that way. So they were
211
00:13:47,710 --> 00:13:50,910
immediately distinct, and I think that's
why they were able to make so much
212
00:13:50,910 --> 00:13:52,630
noise so quickly in the tag team
division.
213
00:14:02,650 --> 00:14:07,350
Demolition won the tag team titles at
WrestleMania IV and held on to them for
214
00:14:07,350 --> 00:14:10,030
then record -setting 15 months.
215
00:14:10,770 --> 00:14:14,610
Everybody take a good look at this belt.
That means you're the best tag team
216
00:14:14,610 --> 00:14:15,610
there is.
217
00:14:15,630 --> 00:14:21,070
When you have two skilled wrestlers like
both of them were, they showed how
218
00:14:21,070 --> 00:14:24,050
great they were and how powerful they
were.
219
00:14:25,070 --> 00:14:28,010
Axe and Smash, Demolition, an awesome
duo.
220
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,820
Maybe you only went to one show. Maybe
you only watched one show.
221
00:14:32,300 --> 00:14:35,800
But from that show, you would remember
Demolition because they stood out so
222
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,480
much. It's war!
223
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,600
It's D -Day! It's D for Demolition!
224
00:14:46,140 --> 00:14:51,020
Demolition were three -time world tag
team champions with their first reign
225
00:14:51,020 --> 00:14:54,640
lasting an unbelievable 478 days.
226
00:14:55,230 --> 00:14:59,090
a record that stood for over a quarter
century until the New Day broke it in
227
00:14:59,090 --> 00:15:00,090
2016.
228
00:15:00,450 --> 00:15:05,230
Speaking of breaking things, these next
two guys made it their business to do
229
00:15:05,230 --> 00:15:09,590
just that, with a preference towards
breaking tables using human bodies.
230
00:15:09,930 --> 00:15:15,510
Yes, kids, before the Bills Mafia, there
was a legendary tag team called the
231
00:15:15,510 --> 00:15:16,510
Dudley Boys.
232
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:22,780
Bubba Ray and D -Von Dudley emerged from
the radically groundbreaking ECW.
233
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:29,400
It would take the WWE by storm during
the famed Attitude Era. With intensity,
234
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:35,060
hardcore style, and those distinct
matching glasses with tape in the
235
00:15:35,060 --> 00:15:39,780
Dudleys became instant fan favorites. It
would go on to become the winningest
236
00:15:39,780 --> 00:15:43,280
tag team in the history of professional
wrestling.
237
00:15:43,740 --> 00:15:44,740
Testify!
238
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:47,960
Coming now.
239
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:56,840
From Dudleyville, Devon and Summer Rae,
the Dudley Boys.
240
00:15:57,420 --> 00:15:59,820
The Dudley. Oh, man.
241
00:16:00,420 --> 00:16:03,960
The Dudleys look for this. They live tag
team wrestling. They're the masters of
242
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,760
it. The most decorated tag team of all
time, Dudley Boys.
243
00:16:07,020 --> 00:16:10,840
18 -time world tag team champions.
244
00:16:11,340 --> 00:16:14,840
We are the Dudley Boys.
245
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,920
The best tag team in the world today.
246
00:16:22,980 --> 00:16:28,220
First time that I saw them, we heard
that this wrestling called ECW was a
247
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:34,760
I was floored. I've never seen stuff
this violent.
248
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:43,700
When it came to ECW and going too far,
there was no such thing.
249
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,140
The Dudleys were absolutely brutal.
250
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:56,060
They also had such a distinctive look
with, like, the glasses and then the tie
251
00:16:56,060 --> 00:16:59,240
-dye. I definitely stood out and helped
them once they got to WWE.
252
00:16:59,700 --> 00:17:03,120
They're here, and the Dudleys are ready
to fight!
253
00:17:03,340 --> 00:17:07,000
The Dudley boys came in and almost
instantly were beloved.
254
00:17:07,380 --> 00:17:10,980
Thou shall not mess with the Dudleys!
255
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,079
In the ring, we had chemistry. We had
timing.
256
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:20,359
We had that it factor, and we had the
number one thing that every great tag
257
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,940
needs. You need a great tag team finish.
258
00:17:24,220 --> 00:17:30,560
That is the most fun -to -watch
259
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,220
finishing move.
260
00:17:33,380 --> 00:17:38,060
It's cool -looking, the guy's up in the
air, and he gets kind of an RKO off the
261
00:17:38,060 --> 00:17:39,060
ground.
262
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:43,320
They were the ones pushing, like, the
edginess. They were the ones who were
263
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,560
and dynamic. They bring a creativity.
264
00:17:45,820 --> 00:17:47,520
They bring a charisma.
265
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:55,840
Just so many memorable things that we
all
266
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:56,840
love.
267
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,960
They felt like rock stars.
268
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:04,240
What are the Dudley Boys best known for?
269
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,960
Whenever you saw the Dudleys, you wanted
to see them get the table.
270
00:18:18,120 --> 00:18:25,060
If I know the Dudleys are coming out, I
know these guys are going to
271
00:18:25,060 --> 00:18:27,720
get tailored on it. I want to see them
go through the table.
272
00:18:28,420 --> 00:18:29,500
Oh, my God!
273
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,220
They're slamming Mae Young through a
table. What the?
274
00:18:42,540 --> 00:18:44,960
Oh, is that Mae Young? They don't care
who they're putting on these tables.
275
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,400
Didn't matter who you were, you're
getting put to a table. And that kind of
276
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,420
attitude is what made the Dudley boys
stand out.
277
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,440
These guys have conquered it all!
278
00:18:54,980 --> 00:18:59,420
The Dudley boys, to have as much success
as they've had, is a testament to how
279
00:18:59,420 --> 00:19:00,780
good of a team that they are.
280
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,000
We're the baddest tag team on the
planet!
281
00:19:03,220 --> 00:19:06,080
Me and D -Bomb were attached to the hip
for 20 years.
282
00:19:06,380 --> 00:19:10,360
We were a true tag team in every sense
of the word.
283
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,660
The most decorated team of all time, the
Dudley Boys!
284
00:19:20,300 --> 00:19:24,720
Absolute legends who are a perfect
complement to each other. And after all,
285
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:29,540
that's what tag team wrestling is all
about. Playing to each other's
286
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,600
Another case in point, the Rock and Roll
Express.
287
00:19:33,420 --> 00:19:37,880
Debuting in the early 80s, the tandem of
Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson were
288
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:42,240
wrestling's resident rock stars with...
heartthrob good looks, a high voltage
289
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:46,880
dynamic, and an exciting offensive
repertoire, the Rock and Roll Express
290
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:51,340
charm and captivate crowds all across
the great U .S. of A.
291
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:58,740
From Tennessee, Ricky and Robert, the
Rock and Roll Express!
292
00:19:59,380 --> 00:20:02,480
It's hard to explain how popular.
293
00:20:03,100 --> 00:20:06,340
The Rock and Roll Express were. They are
nothing but excitement.
294
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:10,780
Here is the Rock and Roll Express, a tag
team of the 80s. Bring more than Robert
295
00:20:10,780 --> 00:20:14,340
Gibson. After ever, rock and roll is
never going to fade away.
296
00:20:14,620 --> 00:20:20,480
They were rock stars. They were teen
idols in the 80s. Rock and Roll is here
297
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,180
stay. The Rock and Roll Express, the
best babyface tag team of all time. Of
298
00:20:24,180 --> 00:20:25,039
time, period.
299
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,200
There's something about them. They were
going to come out there and they were
300
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:28,200
going to rock.
301
00:20:29,660 --> 00:20:33,520
The people here, they are rockin' and
rollin'. They set arenas on fire, and
302
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:37,960
people loved them, and they set a
standard for tag team wrestling that I
303
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,340
think had ever been seen before.
304
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,040
They have really created excitement
wherever they go.
305
00:20:42,260 --> 00:20:44,740
Anytime you see the Rock and Roll
Express, you see the best.
306
00:20:47,420 --> 00:20:52,840
It seemed like they were 100 % in sync
all the time.
307
00:20:53,740 --> 00:20:54,740
Oh, hi!
308
00:21:00,010 --> 00:21:04,070
Win championships all over, it shows how
popular and how great they were.
309
00:21:07,490 --> 00:21:14,470
We are the NWA World Tag Team Champions.
We are the true Smoky Mountain
310
00:21:14,470 --> 00:21:15,470
Tag Team Champions.
311
00:21:15,590 --> 00:21:19,250
The Mid -South Tag Team Champions, the
Rock and Roll Express.
312
00:21:19,650 --> 00:21:21,450
They can work against the Road Warriors.
313
00:21:21,650 --> 00:21:24,330
They can work against Midnight Express
with Cornette.
314
00:21:25,310 --> 00:21:27,870
It didn't matter. They were that good.
315
00:21:30,730 --> 00:21:37,570
The latest entrant into the WWE Hall of
Fame, Ricky Morton, Robert Gibson,
316
00:21:37,950 --> 00:21:40,250
The Rock and Roll Express.
317
00:21:45,650 --> 00:21:49,350
You are the greatest person I ever met
in my life.
318
00:21:51,650 --> 00:21:53,130
Thank you for everything.
319
00:21:54,290 --> 00:21:56,610
Ladies and gentlemen, The Rock and Roll
Express.
320
00:21:59,950 --> 00:22:03,850
We got one thing behind us. That's all
these nice folks out here. They stand
321
00:22:03,850 --> 00:22:05,830
us. And brother, we stand for you.
322
00:22:06,790 --> 00:22:09,470
Just the heart of champions. That was
the Rock and Roll Express.
323
00:22:09,930 --> 00:22:10,930
Remember one thing.
324
00:22:11,150 --> 00:22:13,850
That rock and roll is here to stay.
325
00:22:18,630 --> 00:22:24,330
Indeed, it is. And it was exactly that
kind of youthful glam rock energy and
326
00:22:24,330 --> 00:22:29,210
undeniable chemistry that solidified the
Rock and Roll Express as one of the...
327
00:22:29,450 --> 00:22:35,650
chemistry really is everything right and
perhaps no duo was more in sync than
328
00:22:35,650 --> 00:22:40,830
make -believe brothers in real life best
friends edge and christian between
329
00:22:40,830 --> 00:22:45,630
their grunge rock look beavis and
butthead like camaraderie and high risk
330
00:22:45,630 --> 00:22:50,810
flying offense e and c were one of the
attitude era's most entertaining and
331
00:22:50,810 --> 00:22:57,690
enduring tag team in the category of an
332
00:22:57,690 --> 00:22:58,690
actor
333
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:04,940
Reeking of the most awesomeness, the
Oscar goes to... Edge!
334
00:23:05,140 --> 00:23:06,140
Oh, my!
335
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:07,700
I'm going to be sick.
336
00:23:09,020 --> 00:23:11,900
They're entertainers as well as being
great athletes. They're idiots.
337
00:23:12,300 --> 00:23:13,039
What? What?
338
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:14,560
Edge and Christian were fun.
339
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,220
They weren't good guys. They were
horrible guys. You know, they liked
340
00:23:18,220 --> 00:23:21,740
people with chairs and causing chaos and
winning by any means necessary, but
341
00:23:21,740 --> 00:23:25,160
there was this certain aura of fun about
them where even though the audience
342
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:26,159
booed them...
343
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,860
they still kind of liked them and they
enjoyed the antics because they were
344
00:23:28,860 --> 00:23:32,860
so entertaining when they were started
singing like other people's theme songs
345
00:23:32,860 --> 00:23:38,700
thought it was so funny those
346
00:23:38,700 --> 00:23:45,100
guys they just had a swag about them
very flamboyant you know very
347
00:23:45,100 --> 00:23:50,270
confident in this game and i always
appreciated that These are two guys
348
00:23:50,270 --> 00:23:54,050
you know, really, they grew up together.
When it came to being in ladder matches
349
00:23:54,050 --> 00:23:57,810
and stuff like that, they knew the tag
team championships. They knew exactly
350
00:23:57,810 --> 00:23:58,609
to work together.
351
00:23:58,610 --> 00:24:01,730
And then entertainment -wise, you know,
that five -second pose.
352
00:24:02,030 --> 00:24:03,590
For the benefit of those with black
photography.
353
00:24:04,490 --> 00:24:08,930
I don't exactly know what this is, but
they would just always do this.
354
00:24:10,070 --> 00:24:14,250
I've never seen anyone pose like this,
though, is the thing. But I really enjoy
355
00:24:14,250 --> 00:24:16,030
it, and that's the one I would do.
356
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:17,600
Maybe dressed as Elvis.
357
00:24:17,900 --> 00:24:20,660
We call this one a hunk of hunk of edgy
Christian.
358
00:24:20,980 --> 00:24:25,780
In terms of like checking boxes, we
checked a lot of boxes from the brood to
359
00:24:25,780 --> 00:24:26,840
what we became.
360
00:24:27,060 --> 00:24:30,680
I just feel like we both had the same
mindset.
361
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:35,080
We get entertained, we would go. But
when it was time to get them down, we
362
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,860
them down. These guys can be goofy like
that. But when they go out there,
363
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:43,000
they're one of the best tag teams.
They're definitely going to prove it. We
364
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,900
The kings of the ladder match.
365
00:24:46,260 --> 00:24:48,560
Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
366
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:50,220
Oh, my God!
367
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,220
And for the 20 -foot ladder!
368
00:24:52,500 --> 00:24:53,900
Who else would do that?
369
00:24:54,540 --> 00:24:58,240
Psychos. To this day and for the rest of
time, people will say that that
370
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:02,380
Hardee's -Dudley's -Edge and Christian
rivalry is maybe not just the greatest
371
00:25:02,380 --> 00:25:06,420
tag team rivalry of all time, but one of
the greatest rivalries of all time.
372
00:25:07,540 --> 00:25:11,040
Edge and Christian have done it!
373
00:25:11,890 --> 00:25:16,630
We were out there for each other and to
make our team the best team. That was
374
00:25:16,630 --> 00:25:17,509
the goal.
375
00:25:17,510 --> 00:25:18,670
We wanted to be the best.
376
00:25:21,450 --> 00:25:26,110
It's great that you have this duo that
are so incredibly funny but also so
377
00:25:26,110 --> 00:25:29,170
incredibly talented in the ring so they
can back up all their shenanigans that
378
00:25:29,170 --> 00:25:30,170
they were pulling.
379
00:25:30,790 --> 00:25:31,790
This is good stuff.
380
00:25:31,950 --> 00:25:33,630
Yeah, check out your pearly whites. They
look great.
381
00:25:33,870 --> 00:25:34,829
Look at you, you're in a costume.
382
00:25:34,830 --> 00:25:37,490
Yeah, they're really coming in. They
look great. The most photogenic tag team
383
00:25:37,490 --> 00:25:38,490
ever. I think so.
384
00:25:38,780 --> 00:25:44,640
You could just tell that they had a
very, very special bond before ever,
385
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:45,940
stepping into a ring in WWE.
386
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,920
Let me get old Commissioner Mick there
to get us a couple sodas, huh?
387
00:25:49,140 --> 00:25:50,059
I'm harsh.
388
00:25:50,060 --> 00:25:51,240
That soda's real.
389
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:52,440
Yeah, they do.
390
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:58,500
If I have to look back at one thing,
we're at WrestleMania, and we're both
391
00:25:58,500 --> 00:26:00,820
grabbing the tag team championships.
392
00:26:01,420 --> 00:26:08,040
And looking over and seeing him beside
me, I mean,
393
00:26:08,060 --> 00:26:10,040
man, You can't beat it.
394
00:26:10,300 --> 00:26:11,600
You just can't beat it.
395
00:26:16,020 --> 00:26:20,080
Edge and Christian would win seven World
Tag Team titles in their time together,
396
00:26:20,260 --> 00:26:23,940
serving as an awesome first act in their
legendary careers.
397
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:28,300
Both men would go on to achieve enormous
success at singles, winning multiple
398
00:26:28,300 --> 00:26:33,700
WWE World Championships, as well as
headlining a number of WWE events.
399
00:26:34,140 --> 00:26:38,610
And... Although tag team wrestling can
certainly help launch a singles career
400
00:26:38,610 --> 00:26:41,210
that next level, what happens in the
reverse scenario?
401
00:26:41,410 --> 00:26:46,850
When two already well -established main
event players decide to unite and become
402
00:26:46,850 --> 00:26:47,649
a tag team?
403
00:26:47,650 --> 00:26:53,750
Well, if egos are in check, then that's
a big if. The level of success these
404
00:26:53,750 --> 00:26:56,590
super teams can attain together could be
limitless.
405
00:26:58,610 --> 00:26:59,770
Look at that.
406
00:27:00,330 --> 00:27:04,850
Yes. They've had their differences in
the past, but the Macho Man is extending
407
00:27:04,850 --> 00:27:10,730
hand of friendship to the Hulk. We could
be seeing the meaning of the madness
408
00:27:10,730 --> 00:27:13,990
and the mania. Yes! There it is!
409
00:27:14,910 --> 00:27:19,250
Sometimes we get two single stars come
together and they just seem to click.
410
00:27:20,830 --> 00:27:25,490
That tends to be the most successful
super team.
411
00:27:26,530 --> 00:27:28,190
We're a world tag team champ.
412
00:27:28,470 --> 00:27:32,170
If you can get on a super team, Then you
do it.
413
00:27:32,930 --> 00:27:34,630
You see it at sports all the time.
414
00:27:34,850 --> 00:27:37,390
LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Vince Fox.
415
00:27:38,310 --> 00:27:43,630
You don't expect those teams. So when it
happens, it's just extra special.
416
00:27:44,310 --> 00:27:47,650
We will do what we want. No one can stop
us.
417
00:27:48,130 --> 00:27:50,850
A super team that I loved was the two
-man power trip.
418
00:27:51,890 --> 00:27:56,050
Triple H and Stone Cold. These two run
the whole company as it is. Now that
419
00:27:56,050 --> 00:27:57,530
they're a tag team, unstoppable.
420
00:27:58,510 --> 00:27:59,510
Rated RKO.
421
00:27:59,950 --> 00:28:04,410
I really hated Edge, and I really hated
Randy Orton. Now these guys are a team.
422
00:28:05,270 --> 00:28:06,310
Two dudes with attitude.
423
00:28:06,650 --> 00:28:09,730
The perfect combination of size and
speed.
424
00:28:10,590 --> 00:28:11,850
Big Sean Undertaker.
425
00:28:13,410 --> 00:28:14,410
It's not even fair.
426
00:28:15,790 --> 00:28:17,370
Shawn Michaels, Stone Cold Steve Austin.
427
00:28:17,570 --> 00:28:21,310
They did not give up. They still won the
tag team title.
428
00:28:22,110 --> 00:28:23,290
X -Pac and Kane.
429
00:28:24,290 --> 00:28:25,630
McFoley and Kane, too.
430
00:28:26,350 --> 00:28:28,770
There's been so many. RBD and Kane.
431
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:30,860
Well, King's got a lot of partners, huh?
432
00:28:31,740 --> 00:28:33,400
He's chokeslammed all of them.
433
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,960
What is going on here? They're partners.
434
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:44,500
I love the dynamic of a team that you
can't figure out how to beat.
435
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,040
My goodness, this super group.
436
00:28:48,260 --> 00:28:51,820
You can go all the way back to the Mega
Palace.
437
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:53,760
The symbol of greatness.
438
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,620
Macho Man Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan.
439
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:02,100
The mega, yeah, the mega, yeah, the mega
power, yeah.
440
00:29:02,460 --> 00:29:03,740
Mega power, yeah.
441
00:29:04,060 --> 00:29:07,780
You had these two bigger than life
characters, colorful, but all of a
442
00:29:07,780 --> 00:29:10,340
when they came together, it was like
something was going to be unstoppable.
443
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,240
Kane and Undertaker, the brothers of
destruction.
444
00:29:17,820 --> 00:29:19,580
Amazing to see them on the same page.
445
00:29:20,980 --> 00:29:22,480
I'll say it. They're not there.
446
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,800
Hell hath no fury but these two.
447
00:29:26,570 --> 00:29:29,990
He has a great tag team in the ring, but
I'm more interested in what was their
448
00:29:29,990 --> 00:29:31,510
cohesion like when they left the arena.
449
00:29:32,230 --> 00:29:36,430
If you're Undertaker, the whole deal is
that you burned the house down, Kane
450
00:29:36,430 --> 00:29:37,430
stuck inside.
451
00:29:38,270 --> 00:29:40,290
That's arson, attempted murder.
452
00:29:40,590 --> 00:29:43,990
I don't know if he sent him an edible
arrangement, got him a couple bottles of
453
00:29:43,990 --> 00:29:47,830
Jack, but Kane saying, hey, it's true,
let's do a tag team now and mess
454
00:29:47,830 --> 00:29:48,830
everybody else up.
455
00:29:48,930 --> 00:29:49,930
What's going on?
456
00:29:51,630 --> 00:29:53,810
I know people don't talk about the Rock
and Sock connection.
457
00:29:54,330 --> 00:29:55,570
Rock and Sock!
458
00:29:56,580 --> 00:30:01,280
It was almost comical because they were
so different. Polar opposites.
459
00:30:01,980 --> 00:30:05,960
Rock comes out with such a shirt, the
eyebrow, the glasses, and mankind is
460
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:10,040
dressed like he found that shirt two
minutes before he walked out.
461
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,460
It's the most unlikely tag team ever,
JR.
462
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,280
Such an amazing dynamic between these
two characters.
463
00:30:18,540 --> 00:30:20,020
The Rock thanks you for that.
464
00:30:25,900 --> 00:30:28,680
Don't come into our division if you're
not a real team. Get out. We don't want
465
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,720
you. Go back for your singles titles.
Fight for the IC title. Fight for the
466
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:32,720
world title.
467
00:30:33,220 --> 00:30:35,940
For fans, it's incredible.
468
00:30:36,700 --> 00:30:39,680
The tag teams that already exist, I'm
sure it's frustrating.
469
00:30:40,860 --> 00:30:42,060
I think it's similar to the NBA.
470
00:30:42,340 --> 00:30:45,440
You get the best of the best together,
everyone else gets jealous.
471
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,140
I know that they're not a real team.
472
00:30:48,700 --> 00:30:49,700
That's Super Team Brad.
473
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,440
Get out of our division.
474
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:57,540
Okay, okay, simmer downwards.
475
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,020
There's plenty of room for everyone.
476
00:31:00,460 --> 00:31:04,640
Now, whether you're assembling an
Avengers -level team or a street -level
477
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:08,080
Defenders -style team, the recipe for
ultimate success remains.
478
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:13,440
The sum is greater than the parts, which
is exactly what struggling single
479
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:17,760
-stars Road Dogg and Billy Gunn figured
out when they set aside their rivalry
480
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:18,920
and joined forces.
481
00:31:19,300 --> 00:31:21,200
Turns out these degenerate...
482
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:26,560
were perfect soulmates and became one of
the most prolific tandems in the famed
483
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,580
attitude era as part of DX.
484
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:34,660
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,
children of all ages, I give you the New
485
00:31:34,660 --> 00:31:36,220
Age Outlaw.
486
00:31:38,500 --> 00:31:43,300
Both Billy Gunn and the Road Dogg were
kind of lost at sea.
487
00:31:43,500 --> 00:31:48,320
You had Billy Gunn as Rockabilly and
Road Dogg as the real Double J.
488
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:50,740
Neither one of them.
489
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:52,380
We're connecting with the crowd.
490
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,640
You know, me and you got a lot in
common.
491
00:31:55,020 --> 00:31:56,980
Willie Will, are you with me?
492
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,660
So they just got pasted together to see
what happens.
493
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:04,320
And what happens is one of the greatest
tag teams of all time.
494
00:32:04,660 --> 00:32:05,980
Oh, you didn't know?
495
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,860
You better call somebody!
496
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:15,400
I didn't love the outlaws, all right.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,
497
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:19,040
children of all ages, we are the World
Wrestling Federation.
498
00:32:19,580 --> 00:32:20,580
Tag!
499
00:32:33,510 --> 00:32:37,910
Sometimes it takes a while to find what
works with guys. And once they found
500
00:32:37,910 --> 00:32:40,530
that, it really was lightning in a
bottle.
501
00:32:41,110 --> 00:32:46,310
Those guys just took off and they ran
with the ball. They go out there and
502
00:32:46,310 --> 00:32:47,470
they're just having fun.
503
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,100
You could tell that these dudes were
like legit best friends.
504
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:54,260
And they played off of each other so
well, the chemistry was just there.
505
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:02,880
We'd love to get entertained. We'd love
to laugh.
506
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:07,780
But that stuff in Cactus Jack changed
her charlie in a dumpster and pushing it
507
00:33:07,780 --> 00:33:08,780
off the stage.
508
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:16,880
Reckless.
509
00:33:19,020 --> 00:33:22,380
I remember when they joined DX, I was
super pumped because it just felt like
510
00:33:22,380 --> 00:33:27,300
they fit in. There has been a marriage
made straight from heaven.
511
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:33,360
They 100 % fit right into what they were
doing and right in with the attitude.
512
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:37,480
If you're not down with the new age
outlaws, we got two words for you.
513
00:33:39,860 --> 00:33:44,000
Putting them in DX solidified them as
big time players.
514
00:33:52,300 --> 00:33:55,080
You saw badass Billy Gunn going out
there shaking his hips like you want to
515
00:33:55,080 --> 00:34:00,460
shake your hips, you know? Billy Gunn is
65, 260 pounds and moves like he's a
516
00:34:00,460 --> 00:34:01,399
buck fifty.
517
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,740
Road Dogg is so ridiculous and such a
larger -than -life character.
518
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,600
Welcome to the dog house!
519
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:11,800
Road Dogg was a mouthpiece, you know? He
could talk his way through anything.
520
00:34:12,159 --> 00:34:17,840
You know that D -O -double -D always
kicks that shit in the doggy style!
521
00:34:18,620 --> 00:34:21,840
They truly brought a new level for tag
team wrestling.
522
00:34:22,159 --> 00:34:26,719
Because they were entertaining and they
were fun and they were multidimensional.
523
00:34:28,159 --> 00:34:31,800
We're about to take you straight down
memory lane.
524
00:34:32,260 --> 00:34:36,639
When the New Age Outlaws had their
return run and it led to the match at
525
00:34:36,639 --> 00:34:39,219
WrestleMania 30, it was just fun.
526
00:34:39,420 --> 00:34:41,780
And that chemistry is still there.
527
00:34:42,420 --> 00:34:47,280
Six times WWE Tag Team Champions of the
World.
528
00:34:55,770 --> 00:34:59,950
Wow. Incredible to see that kind of
longevity and impact.
529
00:35:00,170 --> 00:35:06,110
True icons of the Attitude Era. In fact,
the Attitude Era was just stacked with
530
00:35:06,110 --> 00:35:11,610
killer tag teams. Among them, the Hardy
Boy. The high -flying, high -risk
531
00:35:11,610 --> 00:35:17,670
-taking duo of Jeff and Matt Hardy. One
of the most influential tag teams in WWE
532
00:35:17,670 --> 00:35:23,950
history, the Hardys set a new bar for
innovative and extreme wrestling. A
533
00:35:24,140 --> 00:35:25,780
that hasn't been topped to this day.
534
00:35:31,820 --> 00:35:35,280
Arguably the greatest tag team of all
time.
535
00:35:35,900 --> 00:35:39,780
The Hardy Boys are one of the faces of
tag team wrestling.
536
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:43,780
You knew that when they came to the
ring, they were just going to bring a
537
00:35:43,780 --> 00:35:47,620
different level of energy, different
type of skill set.
538
00:35:49,190 --> 00:35:51,950
They were like daredevils. They were
like something different.
539
00:35:52,190 --> 00:35:55,810
These guys, I mean, they sacrificed
their bodies every minute of every
540
00:35:56,070 --> 00:35:59,310
The Hardy Boys were instantly
identifiable because of their offense.
541
00:36:00,310 --> 00:36:04,930
I have never seen any offense like that.
They were great for taking what you
542
00:36:04,930 --> 00:36:08,170
expected and flipping that expectation
on its head.
543
00:36:08,830 --> 00:36:12,410
They would be jumping off ladders,
jumping off of whatever they posited,
544
00:36:12,410 --> 00:36:14,510
titantron. My God, what is he doing? Oh,
545
00:36:15,470 --> 00:36:17,050
God! Oh!
546
00:36:17,900 --> 00:36:19,480
They were incredible athletes.
547
00:36:19,720 --> 00:36:23,320
They had such great chemistry together.
They were very different in their
548
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:24,900
technique and their look.
549
00:36:25,260 --> 00:36:28,400
They just, like, looked so cool with the
fishnets and the colors.
550
00:36:29,860 --> 00:36:32,320
They really spoke, I think, to the
younger audience.
551
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:36,060
They were always themselves, and they
were unapologetically themselves. They
552
00:36:36,060 --> 00:36:39,340
didn't care what people thought, and I
think people actually enjoyed that more.
553
00:36:39,580 --> 00:36:40,840
Talk about excitement!
554
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,120
Talk about extreme! Matt and Jeff Hardy,
baby!
555
00:36:44,590 --> 00:36:47,350
I mean, they wrote the book on tag team
ladder matches.
556
00:36:49,330 --> 00:36:51,690
These guys are crazy. The Hardy Boys are
crazy.
557
00:36:52,030 --> 00:36:54,930
The Hardy Boys represent that extreme
style.
558
00:36:56,450 --> 00:37:03,410
They really, really raised the standard
for what ladder matches
559
00:37:03,410 --> 00:37:07,890
were. The Hardys, you made history in
tables, ladders, and chairs matches.
560
00:37:08,690 --> 00:37:11,590
One of my favorite career moments,
hosting WrestleMania.
561
00:37:12,090 --> 00:37:13,690
This ladder match.
562
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:19,480
has now become a fatal four -way.
563
00:37:20,580 --> 00:37:23,160
And then the moment that their music
hit.
564
00:37:30,340 --> 00:37:32,480
What? Oh, my!
565
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:34,420
You've got to be kidding me!
566
00:37:35,220 --> 00:37:38,740
Matt and Jeff, the Hardy Boys are here!
567
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:44,790
This is the first time in almost seven
years And the Hardys have teamed in WWE.
568
00:37:47,090 --> 00:37:48,310
This is insane.
569
00:37:50,270 --> 00:37:53,310
Everyone here inside the Citrus Bowl is
in shock.
570
00:37:53,870 --> 00:37:56,730
That was one of those surprises that
never got spoiled.
571
00:37:57,010 --> 00:37:57,968
Oh, no.
572
00:37:57,970 --> 00:38:00,890
Twist of fate from the top of the
ladder.
573
00:38:02,530 --> 00:38:05,290
Jeff Hardy, the thrill seeker.
574
00:38:05,750 --> 00:38:07,550
Swad, pod, bomb.
575
00:38:08,270 --> 00:38:11,210
To be able to bring them back to be a
very small part of that moment.
576
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,380
It's incredible because Matt and Jeff
knew so much of tag team wrestling.
577
00:38:14,700 --> 00:38:18,760
Eight -time WWE tag team champions.
578
00:38:19,300 --> 00:38:24,260
They set the tone for all of us who came
after them. We all just wanted to
579
00:38:24,260 --> 00:38:28,620
follow the heart. We all hoped to leave
a stamp on the industry on tag team
580
00:38:28,620 --> 00:38:30,340
wrestling in the way that they had.
581
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:35,780
Their goal of a lifetime was to make it
in WWE, and they've done that. Two guys
582
00:38:35,780 --> 00:38:40,880
that have given everything, their lives,
their bodies, and they love it.
583
00:38:41,190 --> 00:38:42,410
And the fans love them.
584
00:38:43,850 --> 00:38:44,850
Unpredictability!
585
00:38:45,390 --> 00:38:50,230
Unexpectedness! Two absolute legends and
guys that deserve their flower for what
586
00:38:50,230 --> 00:38:53,170
they've not only done for tag team
wrestling, but wrestling in general.
587
00:38:59,370 --> 00:39:03,210
My blood pressure skyrockets just
watching those guys.
588
00:39:03,450 --> 00:39:07,650
Incredible athletes that left an
indelible mark on the tag team division.
589
00:39:08,250 --> 00:39:09,770
Now, the Legion of Doom.
590
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:12,440
They were into leaving different kinds
of marks.
591
00:39:12,720 --> 00:39:18,120
The black and blue kind, also known as
the road warriors, the team of animal
592
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:24,760
hawk, were the standard bearer of tag
teams. Their mere presence sent chills
593
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:28,120
the spines of their opponents with their
iconic face paint, spiked football
594
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:31,440
shoulder pads, and the dreaded doomsday
device.
595
00:39:31,700 --> 00:39:36,320
Their pops were legendary, giving fans a
rush they would never forget.
596
00:39:43,720 --> 00:39:44,578
The LOD.
597
00:39:44,580 --> 00:39:46,680
Oh, what a rush.
598
00:39:47,140 --> 00:39:49,480
My favorite tag team of all time.
599
00:39:49,780 --> 00:39:56,360
From Chicago, accompanied by their
manager, Paul Ellering. Road Warrior
600
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:57,840
Road Warrior Animal.
601
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:01,600
The Legion of Doom.
602
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:05,180
They, to me, are the tag team.
603
00:40:05,460 --> 00:40:09,220
We are walking dead. We are the Road
Warriors.
604
00:40:09,540 --> 00:40:12,740
In our business, one thing we always
talk about is the Road Warrior Pop.
605
00:40:13,050 --> 00:40:16,290
Like, you always want a road warrior pop
because those guys would come out and
606
00:40:16,290 --> 00:40:17,310
get a pop like none other.
607
00:40:21,630 --> 00:40:24,390
Those guys came out, you couldn't hear
anything.
608
00:40:24,590 --> 00:40:30,750
My all -time favorite tactic, the
spikes, the paint, the jackness.
609
00:40:31,130 --> 00:40:32,830
We snack on danger.
610
00:40:34,430 --> 00:40:36,090
We dine on death.
611
00:40:37,230 --> 00:40:40,990
And dead men don't make money. Watching
them on TV.
612
00:40:41,660 --> 00:40:43,060
I was just hooked from the beginning.
613
00:40:43,540 --> 00:40:48,800
You're facing the best team in
professional wrestling today. From the
614
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,220
Chicago, we're talking the real deal.
615
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:55,980
Everything that the Legion of Doom did
looked like they couldn't be stopped.
616
00:41:00,340 --> 00:41:04,280
We want the World Wrestling Federation
titles, and we want them bad.
617
00:41:04,500 --> 00:41:08,480
I've never seen them live, and I
suspected it was one of the coolest
618
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:09,480
ever witnessed.
619
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:23,520
Wherever the Rose Warriors went, they
captured gold. Whether it was the AWA,
620
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:25,700
Japan, WCW, or WWE.
621
00:41:26,380 --> 00:41:30,240
The Legion of Doom will never be closet
champions.
622
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:34,320
We will face all challenges. We're
coming after you.
623
00:41:36,500 --> 00:41:39,280
They like to hurt people. They're very
dangerous.
624
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:44,500
So many times you'd watch them and just
hands on your head like...
625
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:48,760
That guy might be dead. They were a team
that set the standard for dominating
626
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:49,760
their opponents.
627
00:41:51,900 --> 00:41:57,440
They just can't seem to handle the
Legion of Doom. We are the best that
628
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,080
wrestling has to offer today.
629
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:03,420
They were always a force to be reckoned
with, and they won every championship
630
00:42:03,420 --> 00:42:04,420
you can think of.
631
00:42:04,700 --> 00:42:07,060
Nobody does it like the Legion of Doom.
632
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:13,040
I still, no matter who accomplishes
what, find myself going back.
633
00:42:13,500 --> 00:42:18,120
The Legion of Doom has the greatest tag
team of all time.
634
00:42:18,380 --> 00:42:20,740
You set him up, we knock him down.
635
00:42:24,740 --> 00:42:26,480
What a rush!
636
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:31,100
Oh, what a rush!
637
00:42:32,060 --> 00:42:33,660
I can never do it as good as they can.
638
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:38,560
Anyway, two -time tag team champ, the
Legion of Doom are no doubt on the tag
639
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:39,720
team Mount Rushmore.
640
00:42:40,110 --> 00:42:45,250
But right next to them is our final duo,
twin brothers Jimmy and Jay, better
641
00:42:45,250 --> 00:42:51,310
known as the Usos. Eight -time WWE Tag
Team Champion, the Usos elevated their
642
00:42:51,310 --> 00:42:55,470
game to new heights during the
Bloodlines reign and put together one of
643
00:42:55,470 --> 00:42:58,490
successful runs in the history of sports
entertainment.
644
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:31,180
It's hard to argue that the Usos aren't
one of the greatest tag teams to ever
645
00:43:31,180 --> 00:43:32,180
exist.
646
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:33,680
They're legit one of the best.
647
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:37,560
Brothers, twins, and this industry is in
their blood.
648
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:42,500
They have just continually raised the
bar every single time they've stepped in
649
00:43:42,500 --> 00:43:43,500
the ring.
650
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:50,240
The Usos are so incredible, one, because
they're cheating.
651
00:43:50,460 --> 00:43:52,180
They're twins, and that's unfair.
652
00:43:52,820 --> 00:43:55,620
That level of connection, they're always
on the same page.
653
00:43:57,759 --> 00:44:00,280
Even when you're watching them, they're
communicating with each other without
654
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:03,540
saying a word. It's just a look or they
just know where each other's going to
655
00:44:03,540 --> 00:44:06,180
be. And that type of teamwork really
stands out.
656
00:44:06,720 --> 00:44:10,980
I mean, you can't deny family and them
being brothers.
657
00:44:11,260 --> 00:44:12,420
I mean, it's the whole package.
658
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:22,620
They have so many names in their legacy
to live up to.
659
00:44:23,020 --> 00:44:27,320
Of course, from the Anoa 'i family, the
great wild Samoans, Zapa and Sika, their
660
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:32,020
father, of course, Rikishi, The Rock,
Roman Reign.
661
00:44:32,460 --> 00:44:35,620
So having that drive makes them an
incredible type.
662
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:41,800
The Usos, much like every single member
of their family, are amazing at
663
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:45,040
adapting. The original incarnation of
the Usos was awesome.
664
00:45:07,950 --> 00:45:11,930
The Samoan culture is very proud, and I
think early on they were very proud to
665
00:45:11,930 --> 00:45:12,930
show their heritage.
666
00:45:14,450 --> 00:45:21,430
But then it kind of morphed to where
they
667
00:45:21,430 --> 00:45:23,710
were proud and they wanted to show who
they were as people.
668
00:45:24,090 --> 00:45:28,710
We went from face paint to snapbacks,
from rainbow colors to white and black,
669
00:45:28,850 --> 00:45:34,130
from wrestling tights to the all white.
We went from they might be all right to
670
00:45:34,130 --> 00:45:37,130
yeah, yeah, yeah, we had a match of the
night.
671
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:43,120
The Usos were able, especially once
under the umbrella of the bloodline, to
672
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:47,280
a pocket of success that no one was able
to touch and conquer or come anywhere
673
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:48,198
close to.
674
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:53,820
The historic reign for Jimmy and Che Uso
has now lasted 622
675
00:45:53,820 --> 00:46:00,260
days. The Usos are very much so
influential that they made tag team
676
00:46:00,260 --> 00:46:03,340
cool again, all the way to the point
that they main evented WrestleMania.
677
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:09,760
arguably the greatest tag team of the
modern era and here we are closing out
678
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:15,680
wrestlemania as tag team champion the
usos were the very first tag team to
679
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:22,320
event wrestlemania they've broken down
so many barriers deserve that spot
680
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:26,310
more than anyone To be able to do that
as brothers is beyond special.
681
00:46:26,610 --> 00:46:31,290
How do you prepare for two brothers who
ain't got nothing to lose? You can't.
682
00:46:31,290 --> 00:46:35,310
How do you prepare for two brothers
that's been there since day one?
683
00:46:36,450 --> 00:46:40,150
Jimmy and Jay, the O's!
684
00:46:41,730 --> 00:46:47,870
It is so rare to see a long -time tag
team like them go their separate ways
685
00:46:47,870 --> 00:46:49,950
get to the point of being main eventers.
686
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:53,740
That is really a testament to their
ability, not only as a tag team, not
687
00:46:53,740 --> 00:46:57,220
a collective, but individually. They're
just so incredibly talented and hungry.
688
00:46:58,240 --> 00:47:02,160
The legacy they've left behind as a tag
team here is going to be very hard to
689
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:03,160
match.
690
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:07,280
Guaranteed Hall of Famers as a tag team.
I can't say enough good things about
691
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:08,280
them. I really can't.
692
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:12,420
For my money, the Usos are the greatest
tag team in history.
693
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:17,400
Welcome to the Uso Penitentiary.
694
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:28,820
The Usos are absolute dogs who are
leading the renaissance of tag team
695
00:47:28,820 --> 00:47:33,380
in WWE, setting the stage for the next
chapter in tag team lore.
696
00:47:33,720 --> 00:47:39,560
We hope you've enjoyed this look back at
the most awesome tag team in WWE
697
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:43,740
history. I'm your host, Greg Miller, and
it's been my pleasure to serve you.
698
00:47:48,010 --> 00:47:53,010
On the next This is Awesome, the most
awesome intercontinental champion in WWE
699
00:47:53,010 --> 00:47:56,750
history. They've come here tonight to
see a real champion, not some cheap
700
00:47:56,750 --> 00:47:58,330
imitation. From the dynamic.
701
00:47:58,570 --> 00:48:01,590
And the ravishing.
702
00:48:01,810 --> 00:48:05,850
Give the ladies a good look at the
sexiest man alive.
703
00:48:06,170 --> 00:48:12,030
To the dominant. Perhaps the most
unstoppable intercontinental champion of
704
00:48:12,030 --> 00:48:13,930
time. And the boundary break.
705
00:48:14,150 --> 00:48:15,350
Time to have some history.
706
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:22,640
Celebrate the prestigious title that has
launched careers and broken down walls
707
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:26,920
only on the neck. This is all.
