Much has been written about this one, a classic tag-team showdown from the 1991 Royal Rumble event, and a hell of a way to open up the show. Given close to 20 minutes by the company, both teams were seemingly on a mission to show exactly what they could do with that time, delivering a spectacular match which still holds up today. In fact, a lot of the fast-paced style which would become a hallmark of the next generation of wrestler is seen here - they may not have had an official run with the WWF Tag-Team Titles, but The Rockers still belong on any list detailing the best and most groundbreaking teams in WWE history. Similarly, The Orient Express were never a top unit, but proved their worth during this cracker of a match. Sadly, nothing else on the card could top this tag war, but that's testament to just how good it was.
