10 WWE Tag Team Champions You Definitely Forgot About

10. Ric Flair And Roddy Piper

Nope, not in the ‘80s. Not even in WCW in the ‘90s. This happened in 2006. Yes, really. The two veterans (to put it politely) were given a World Tag Team Championship match at Cyber Sunday, with Piper voted in as Flair’s partner ahead of Dusty Rhodes and Sgt Slaughter.

Tackling jobbers-to-the-stars the Spirit Squad, the old-timers picked up a relatively quick win and enjoyed an eight-day nostalgia run. It was the only time Piper held tag team gold throughout his scattered WWF/E lifetime, serving minimal purpose but perhaps to pop the live crowd. Thank goodness it was a mercifully short reign. The title belts barely strapped round some serious guts.

Say what you want about the Spirit Squad, but they rubbed shoulders with the best and admittedly received a buzz from losing to a team with a combined age of 114.
