10 Funniest WWE Double Acts Of All Time

Professional wrestling is a type of entertainment unlike any other, really. One which doesn't fit neatly into any genre. There are elements of action (obviously), melodrama, romance, horror, fantasy, and, perhaps most importantly, comedy.

When your business is predicated on predetermined sporting contests where super buff dudes try to kill each other to win a giant, wildly-bedazzled belt, it's important to let the audience laugh every once in a while.

Some of the greatest performers to ever walk through the curtain have been equally adept at making the audience cling to the edge of their seats during a match and bust a gut during a promo. In fact, guys like The Rock and Chris Jericho rose to prominence in part because of how clever and comical they were on the mic.

There have been a number of extremely funny performers in WWE over the years, and sometimes fate (or Vince McMahon) is generous enough to pair them together, effectively doubling the hilarity in the process. Like Simon Pegg & Nick Frost and Chris Farley & David Spade -- plus countless others -- have proven, oftentimes in the comedy game, two is better than one.

As was the case with Goldust and Booker T, the pairing of JOB Squad originator Al Snow and martial arts expert Steve Blackman couldn't have looked more suspicious on paper. But honestly, it was the best thing that ever happened to either of those guys.

Snow and Blackman had been flitting around the hardcore division for a couple of years, but neither made much of an impact by themselves. Management clearly realized Blackman couldn't simply rehash his feud with Ken Shamrock over and over again, and Snow's downright awful storyline involving his dog Pepper and the Big Boss Man wasn't exactly a star-making incident.

So hey, why not throw these two misfit toys together and see if they can come up with something memorable? Their pairing was a beautiful train-wreck to behold, and each new attempt to give poor Blackman a bizarrely distinct personality yielded funnier and funnier results.

Indeed, most of the laughs that came out of this random pairing centered around Snow's desperation to make Blackman at least minimally entertaining, and trying to find any gimmick that would allow him to come out of his very serious shell. And failing. Hard.

In fact, their team name was borne out of that desperation. "Head" was taken from Snow's mannequin noodle that he carried around with him, while "Cheese" was explained by slapping a Green Bay Packer's foam cheese-shaped hat on Blackman's dome.
