Exposing The Myth: Tag Team Wrestling Doesn’t Draw Money

When looking at some of the most beloved or hated (in the best possible way) acts in wrestling history, some of the more legendary names are stars who were predominantly tag team wrestlers.

You can look at the Road Warriors, the Rock 'n' Roll Express, the Midnight Express, The Brainbusters, Mr. Fuji and Professor Tanaka, the Wild Samoans, the Freebirds, Harlem Heat, the Steiner Brothers, the British Bulldogs, the Hart Foundation, the Blackjacks, Demolition, the Fabulous Ones, the Hollywood Blonds, the Hardy Boyz, Edge and Christian, the Dudley Boyz, the New Age Outlaws - all Hall of Famers, all fantastic at what they did, all icons of the industry.

You can't look at any of those acts of yesteryear and say that they didn't bring in fans, whether that was to see them emerge victorious or see them get their ass kicked. And these tandems are just the tip of the iceberg, for there are obviously so many other phenomenal teams from over the decades who are held in the highest regard by their peers, by fans, and by wrestling journalists.

Of course, what all of these teams and more did was draw money...
