20 Worst WWE Tag Team Champions Ever

20. The Moondogs

The Moondogs were one of the most recognizable tag teams in professional wrestling in the late 1970s, early 1980s but their reign as WWE Tag Team Champions in 1981 ranks as one of the worst in company history. Why? How could a celebrated team such as the Moondogs rank among the worst tag team titleholders in the long history of bad champions in Vince McMahon's promotion? Easy. As it turns out, Moondog King, who was one-half of the champions following a defeat of Rick Martel and Tony Garea, was denied entry into the United States from his maiden land of Canada. Unable to defend his title, he was simply replaced by Moondog Spot, who would go on to enjoy a lengthy run with the company. While some may look at the replacement as reminiscent of the Freebirds rule that would become popular in WCCW, it was the first hint that McMahon did not see the value in the tag titles that fans did. Rather than settling the issue in the ring or even coming up with a halfway decent reason as to why the replacement was allowed, Spot was inserted into the role. The inconsistency and the blatant disregard for the men to hold the titles helped cloud the Moondogs' title reign in controversy and infamy. That they dropped the titles right back to Martel and Garea just 126 days after winning them, never to regain the gold, proved that their reign atop the tag team division was immensely disappointing.
