2. The Quebecers

What is The Mountie if he's dressed like The Mountie with a tag team partner also dressed like The Mountie walking and talking like The Mountie?

Why, "not The Mountie" of course!

From the sheer cheek of WWE to copy and clone Jacques Rougeau's gimmick a year after he'd binned it off, to their marvellous theme song that virtually guaranteed heat the second they burst through the curtains, The Quebecers were perfectly pitched as pillocks upon arrival and instantly loathsome by virtue of two prominent victories.

Dethroning The Steiner Brothers was a sucker punch to those fans assured by Rick and Scott that the tag belts were in safe (and rock hard) hands, but sneaking by Bret and Owen Hart after the brothers' relationship completely collapsed at the Royal Rumble was the moment they became credible threats to the entire division.

Not that, beyond the aforementioned pairs, there was much to feel threatened by. Men On A Mission may have accidentally won the tag team titles on a house show when Mabel fell on Pierre, but the rapping crew weren't really a match for the cocky Canadians.

It took a battering from The Headshrinkers to terminate their tenure too soon in mid-1994 after Jacques elected to briefly retire from the industry altogether.
