11 Fantasy WWE Tag Matches We'd Love To Have Seen

2. The Mega Powers Vs The Power Trip

Participants: "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and Triple H Vs Hulk Hogan and Randy "Macho Man" Savage. The Power Trip - also known as the "Two-Man Power Trip" - were "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and Triple H. Professional wrestling duos don't come much more formidable than that. Their individual accolades almost go without saying - Austin is a six time WWF Champion, while Triple H boasts five World Heavyweight Championships and eight WWE Championships. As a duo, they were one of the most awesome heel teams in wrestling history and, while they were together, Austin held the WWE Championship on one occasion, Triple H held the Intercontinental Championship twice and the pair held the WWE Tag Team Championship one one occasion - a reign that lasted for a surprisingly short period of one month. They beat the legendary Brothers of Destruction to win the titles, but lost them to Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit. What made them even more dangerous was their alliance with WWE owner Vince McMahon and the much larger McMahon-Helmsley faction, which gave them a lot of backup. The Mega Powers - Hulk Hogan and Randy "Macho Man" Savage - originally aligned when Hogan saved Savage from a beatdown at the hands of the Honky Tonk Man and the Hart Foundation, though they officially became a tag team at WrestleMania IV when Hogan helped Savage to win the WWF Championship in a fourteen-wrestler tournament, when the pair had problems with Andre the Giant and the "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase. Their first match was at Summerslam in the same year, when they went up against Andre and DiBiase in a match billed as "The Mega Powers versus the Mega Bucks" - they won. They went on the feud with the Twin Towers - Akeem and the Big Bossman - but they would end up breaking up and feuding with each other, after Hogan accidentally eliminating Savage from the 1989 Royal Rumble resulted in a downward spiral for the pair. They never won the tag titles, but Hogan has six World Championships to his name and Savage has two - one of which came while they were competing together as a tag team. Seriously, what a match this would be. Four genuine icons with the crowd undoubtedly split. Winners: The Power Trip. Hogan and Austin are arguably the two most dominant men in WWE history - they effectively cancel each other out - and it's a case of Triple H besting Savage on the accolades front by quite some margin. A rare occasion in which Savage is the weak link (and the fact that the Power Trip won more titles together and had the support of the McMahons and several other wrestlers can't do them any harm).
