12 Duos That Helped Changed Tag Team Wrestling Forver

Where would tag team wrestling today be without them?

Tag teams are an essential component of professional wrestling. Requiring their own unique set of rules and psychology, they offer a kind of entertainment that one might not find in singles competition. Tag team wrestling can sometimes even be more exciting and worthwhile than the traditional one-on-one match. Over the years and decades, there have been many tag teams to enter a professional wrestling ring. Some of these teams were composed by natural family members seeking to take advantage of their natural chemistry, while others were simply thrown together in the hopes of something working between them. Whatever the reason for their original pairing, these tag teams left a lasting impression on the wrestling industry. This article will be a tribute of sorts to the twelve most influential tag teams in history. It will span teams primarily from WWF, but will also include some from WCW, ECW, and Japan. These teams, through their creativity, uniqueness, wrestling styles, or wrestling styles, have become so legendary that they€™ve immortalized themselves in the annals of pro wrestling history. These are twelve teams that brought so much to the table that many of them have been emulated by other teams that have come long after they€™ve retired. In some cases, it€™s what these wrestlers did outside of the ring that left a lasting impression on pro wrestling. Indeed, modern tag team wrestling wouldn€™t be what it is today without the innovation of these twelve teams.
