11 tag teams is impressive and would never happen in any promotion now.

What an absurdly stacked tag division. The singles rankings actually less so.

[soup23]

Tag division does look stacked. I was surprised to see the RNR ahead of the MX at this point.

[Kevin Ridge]

That is a loaded tag team division. Wow.

[BackToBionic]

Buddy Landell is pretty high. Scott Steiner couldn't make the top ten despite his gauntlet wins. Guess it would've been too much for him to be in both rankings.

[garretta]

Forget ten tag teams; you could barely find ten truly worthy singles wrestlers today. Of course, JYD and Buddy Landell are stretching it a bit, but so is the team of Rotundo and Horner.

 

Indulging in a bit of Apter-ese here, shouldn't Arn be the automatic number two as the World TV champion? He does have a singles belt, after all.

I'm trying to remember the kayfabe rules for the rankings, and obviously there weren't ever any real rules, but I seem to remember whenever the champ(s) would lose, they would drop to like 5 or 6, which might explain why the Midnights are low at this point, as they had lost the US titles, well, in August, that was a bit ago now.

Great tag team division, somehow they didn't make the best use of it they could. Imagine WCW not using their resources to their best.
