10 Most Over Tag Teams In WWE History

6. The Hardy Boyz

Though it's not always the high-flyers that get over in the tag team division, possessing the ability (and balls) to launch yourself through the air at breakneck speeds certainly never hurts your chances of being embraced by the masses.

Just ask Matt and Jeff Hardy, who became instant superstars after proving they could do things with steel ladders that would intimidate even the most competent of handymen. Initially trotted out as colorful, happy-go-lucky high-flyers in the mould of The Rockers, the Hardys didn't really catch on until they were rebranded as the emo-ish extreme daredevils who were taken under the wing of Michael Hayes.

It was their ladder match against Edge & Christian at No Mercy 1999 that officially put them on everybody's radar, and their ensuing TLC matches that also incorporated The Dudley Boyz that catapulted them into the hearts of fans around the world. Jeff Hardy was certainly the more popular of the pair, mostly because he had a better look (Matt always had the face of a pug) and was the bigger risk-taker of the two, but together, he and his brother had crowds eating out of the palms of their hands.
