10 Most Baffling Tag Teams In Wrestling History

Tag-team wrestling is an art form which has fallen by the wayside over the past number of years, only reprising whenever WWE deem it suitable. In the 70's, 80's and even part of the 90's, tag-team grappling was highly important, and the Tag-Team Championships were often coveted. In fact, it wasn't uncommon for wrestlers working as duos to exclusively appear in multi-man bouts, lending a credibility to the team concept that isn't really visible today. Thanks to efforts from the likes of Edge & Christian, The Hardy Boys and The Dudley Boys, tag-team work experienced somewhat of a renaissance during the early-2000's, something which would happen again just a few short years later as teams like Los Guerreros and Kurt Angle & Chris Benoit tore it up. Sadly however, WWE don't really put much emphasis on the division nowadays, and it has fallen from the great heights of before to almost appear as a necessary evil for the promotion. One gets the impression that if Vince McMahon could, he'd simply have random duos tag together occasionally, as opposed to creating and developing proper teams. What is meant by a "proper" tag-team is one that is presented as a unit, rather than simply being a pair of wrestlers shoved together because the creative team has nothing for them. This article focuses on teams such as these, but also looks at some of the most confusing tandems in wrestling history, who - for whatever reason - simply didn't click with fans.
