Top 5 - WWE Tag Teams

5. The Highlanders
Rory and Robbie McAllister - announced as cousins - had been one of the funniest tag teams I have ever seen. I don't think they were intentionally funny, but I just liked to see the two Scots perform.
Derek Graham-Couch and Russell Murray had been wrestling for the WWE from 2005 till 2008, making their debut on the grand stage in 2006. In 2013, the Highlanders parted ways because of Murray's retirement.


4. Dudley Boyz
Usually, when I hear tag team, I think of fast competitors with high flying action. Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley showed how two powerhouses could dominate the tag team scene as well. As a part of ECW, the "brothers" joined the WWE, being a part of the company from 199 till 2005, shaping the chant "We want tables" after being involved in several astonishing tables matches.
Both men were working for TNA, now named Bully Ray currently being a member of the Stable Aces & Eights, while Devon left the company after loosing a match against another member of said stable (A.J. Styles).


3. Paul London & Brian Kendrick
From 2002 til 2008, the team of the two highflyers Paul London and Brian Kendrick made the tag team scene more interesting. They were fast, they were cunning, and their moves (alone and in a team) were stunning.
After leaving the WWE, both men made appearances in the Independent circuit throughout the years, teaming up again ever so often.


2. The Hardy Boyz
The real life borthers Matt and Jeff Hardy faught side by side from 1998 on, splitting in 2001. From 2006 to 2008 they could be seen again as a team on and off. Even though I regard Matt being the more talented brother, Jeff added greatly to their tag team matches (especially when the Hardy's were involved in ladder matches against The Dudley Boys or Edge & Christian) with his breathtaking high flying actions.
Several drug-related incidents had been on and off the media over the past years, but Jeff still is a part of TNA where both brothers were welcomed after splitting with WWE. Matt lateron went to ROH where he is still signed as a talent.


1. Edge & Christian
Eccentric clothes and costumes, parodies, funny backstage and in ring segments, and wrestling action on a top level; Edge and Christian had it all! From 1998 till 2011 this tag team could be seen on and off, holding several titles; the World Tag Team Championship seven (!) times alone.
Christian is still part of the WWE, currently taking a break due to injury. Edge had been forced to leave the WWE in 2011 due to severe medical conditions and had been inducted in the Hall Of Fame in 2012. From time to time, he returns to the WWE, but will never be seen wrestling again.
