2014 was a good year for The Wyatt Family, although the group's win/loss record may suggest otherwise. It was the year that they established themselves on the main roster, Bray feuding with a variety of main event stars while Harper and Erick Rowan became a dominant presence in the tag team division. Harper and Rowan took part in a series of classic thrillers with Jimmy and Jey Uso over the summer, the best of which was this two-out-of-three-falls match at Battleground.

In many ways, this was as close to a perfect tag team match as you're going to get in modern-day WWE. It is no great secret that Vince McMahon has long lost interest in tag team action, but this was the match that famously had the boss approach the teams backstage, telling them to tell the locker room to follow that, if they could.

Spoiler; they couldn't.

The match was hard-hitting and fast-paced from the get-go, as all four men took the opportunity afforded to them with both hands, putting on a thrilling show that was one of WWE's best opening matches all year long. It is perhaps telling that Harper dropped both falls to the brothers, but that could just as easily be reading too much into nothing at all.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
