A record only broken in 2016 commenced at WrestleMania IV as Demolition ploughed through an overmatched Strike Force to claim their first Tag Team Titles with relative ease.
Tito Santana and Rick Martel weren't long for the world thanks to an injury and eventual heel turn by the latter, but carried forward the chemistry of the Can-Am Connection before coming face to face with Vince McMahon's (whisper it) slightly superior Road Warriors knock-off.
Despite cheating to claim victory with Mr Fuji's cane, Ax and Smash carried themselves as unstoppable sh*thouses here - and they'd prove exactly that for the next 478 nights. It was a new day, yes it was, for the WWE doubles division.
