And of course the Good Brothers. #Hoots Buddy was always the weak link of the Freebirds to me. Depends on your perspective. If you are talking soley inring then Michael Hayes was the weak link. But he brought so much else to the team that it is hard to consider him a weak link. Buddy was way better in the ring than Hayes...but really both pale in comparison to Bam Bam Gordy I didn't appreciate Buddy when i was a kid. Bam Bam and PS were the main 2 for me. But as I got older and rewatched some of the stuff you could see how good Buddy was. Adding Jimmy Garvin was a disgrace. |

It’s a fun topic because there’s so many categories of “great” tag team. I’ve always been partial to The Outsiders just because Hall and Nash were so dominant, especially on N64 WCW games. Really though, if your finishing move doesn’t require both wrestlers, you’re not a true tag team so sorry Outsiders and Megapowers. I can still hear the Midnight Express’ cheezy 80s synth theme, the old UWF had some great teams. |

Then they merged with NWA and lost a little of their luster |

And then he becomes Buff Bagwell and gets a bigger push. Most overrated wrestler of my lifetime. |

You get the impression he was supposed to be their answer to Shawn Michaels and be a big heartthrob to big southern women. Two small problems: 1) Shawn Michaels was one of the best in-ring guys of all time and Buff Bagwell was, uh, well, not 2) Michaels could get on a mic and draw heat as well as anyone at the time. Buff Bagwell, on the other hand, wore a top hat. |

Fuck Greg Gagne. East West Connection (Ventura/Adonis) vs The High Flyers (Gagne/Brunzell) used to be entertaining with Brunzell and Adonis taking bumps all interrupted by Gagne and Ventura filling the rest of the match with "rest holds". However, the Road Warriors were the first team that used entrance music to pop the crowd. Verne stumbled upon a ton of young talent, but never used most of the guys correctly which allowed Vince to swoop in and grab most of his home grown talent. |

Can I ask why no mention for Demolition yet or at least didn't see it. |

Vince wanted The Road Warriors. Vince couldn't get them. So, Demolition. Then Vince got the Road Warriors. Hence, Repo Man. |
