10 Worst WCW Tag Team Champions Ever

Many people might remember 1998 as being the high point of WCW. There are legitimate reasons for that, namely the emergence of Goldberg, Chris Jericho and others. Still, if you go back and watch that era you might just be shocked at how wretched the majority of the shows are. Everything is a mess, creative decisions change dramatically from week to week, and there is next to no logic behind anything.

The miserable fate endured by the tag titles in 1998 is a great example. Sting and The Giant won the belts by defeating The Outsiders at Slamboree, although not before Scott Hall attacked Kevin Nash. That is all fine, although the water is muddied somewhat by the reveal a couple of weeks prior that The Giant had decided to join nWo Hollywood. Riiiiiiight. Oh, and Hall joined nWo Hollywood at the pay-per-view, although not before a full 14-minute match. Go figure.

How did Sting respond to all of this? Like a jilted lover, he decided to join nWo Wolfpac. This meant that the tag titles were split across nWo lines, and a singles match between Sting and The Giant was booked to decide who should be the tag champions. Sting won, which leads us to another duo that will be mentioned shortly.

In the entire history of WCW, Sting and The Giant were a tag team on one single occasion; the night they won the belts. It doesn't get more 'WCW' than that.
