10 Best WWE Singles Pairings To Ever Win Tag Team Gold
3. Mankind And The Rock
The Attitude Era is looked back on fondly for various reasons, with unpredictability being a key reason that WWE were winning the Monday Night Wars.
Who could have predicted that The Rock and Mankind would come together to form the most entertaining tag team on television? Both men were beloved by the fans, but for entirely different reasons. The Brahma Bull was the cocky, take-no-sh*t superstar; Mankind was the deranged but lovable lunatic. They had brutal collisions over the WWE Championship, but somehow put their differences aside to form The Rock'n'Sock Connection.
Foley's antics, including imitating The Rock and stealing his moves, endeared him even more to the fans, and he played perfectly off of The Rock's arrogant persona. Famously they put together the highest-rated segment in Raw history, the original 'This is Your Life.'
The Rock and Mankind's pursuit of the World Tag Team Championships brought legitimacy to the belts that would soon launch the careers of The Hardyz, Edge and Christian, and many others. Their willingness to share the spotlight created an unforgettable tandem, one that ranks among the most entertaining acts in WWE history.
