10 Most Over Tag Teams In WWE History

2. The Rock N' Sock Connection

They didn't wrestle many matches together, but that doesn't mean they didn't chomp their way through an incredible amount of airtime. Once The Rock and Mankind performed their first tandem People's Elbow, they were off to the races, and the fans couldn't have been more behind this odd couple pairing.

This was one of the least cohesive tag teams when it came to their actual in-ring abilities, but no one else had their insane level of chemistry on the mic. They benefitted greatly from their varying levels of commitment to the team (with Mick being the cheerleader and Rock begrudgingly going along with it), and the tension between them always provided some solid laughs.

If you doubt just how over these two were in 1999, look no further than the brilliant, inimitable This Is Your Life segment, which became one of the highest-rated segments in Raw history. For an unheard of 25 minutes, the crowd hung on every word, eating the absurdity up with a spoon. You'll never see such a slapped-together team do anything that comes even remotely close to this level of fanfare again. The Rock N' Sock Connection was truly one-of-a-kind.
