10 Biggest Tag Team Specialists In Wrestling History

10. D-Von Dudley

Bubba Ray Dudley found great success (and critical acclaim) while working as a solo act in TNA, but his storyline brother was never as fortunate. TNA and WWE both tried to turn D-Von Dudley into a credible singles act at various points in his career (the less said about Reverend D-Von, the better), but it never clicked for a variety of reasons, despite his two reigns as TNA Television Champion.

Despite his singles failings, D-Von was part of one of the most iconic tag teams the business has ever seen. The Dudley Boyz debuted in 1996 and remained active until D-Von's eventual retirement last year, and their list of accolades is almost unparalleled. They're the only tag team to ever hold championship gold for NJPW, TNA, WWE, ECW, and WCW, and along with Edge & Christian and the Hardy Boyz, they're responsible for one of tag wrestling's biggest boom periods.

Tag wrestling has rarely been as hot as it was in 2000 and 2001. At the height of their popularity, WWE's top three teams were as over as anywhere else in the company, and their interactions were a highlight on any show. Their long-term rivalry produced countless classic matches, birthed the iconic Tables, Ladders, and Chairs stipulation, and made each of them a legend.

The Dudleyz will always be best known for the 10 titles they won while competing for WWE, but they did enough in TNA to enter that company's Hall of Fame in 2014. It's only a matter of time before Bubba and D-Von follow Edge into WWE's own HOF, and it'll be nothing less than what they deserve.
