goodhelmet Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 They were great in the AWA against Rose & Somers. They were the highlight of the late 80s early 90s WWF tag team scene. Should do well on my final list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.S. Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 A great tag team. The only thing that might hurt them on people's lists is that they were never the team in the WWE. Tt's a shame they were never awarded the belts, because they should have been (ignoring the unfortunate rope break match with The Hart Foundation, of course). I wonder if they would have fared better in WCW? Obviously, the stars aligned for at least Shawn in the WWF, so I know he wouldn't want to change anything. But it is interesting to wonder "what if?" about The Rockers and WCW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Terrific team. The Rock'n Roll updated. Shawn Michaels at his peak (controversial opinion, but there you go). Pretty good longevity too all things considered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjaminkicks Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 The Rockers were before my time, but I've been doing some catching up on their work in the WWF and they've really been impressing me. They were a fantastic babyface team. Fast-paced, exciting offense, lots of great double team moves, great at gaining sympathy during FIP segments, awesome hot tag sequences. Pretty much everything I want in a babyface tag team. I still have some more of their WWF work to delve into, plus their AWA stuff, but if they keep impressing me like this they have a real shot of making it into my top ten. And their stuff is driving up my stock of Shawn Michaels, who was just a really great tag wrestler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilTLL Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 You're in for a treat. The Rockers do things in AWA that you would not have believed possible based on their WWF run. At least that's how I felt when I got into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan Waco Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 Best regular WWF tag team of all time. Tremendous in the AWA. Will make my top ten, could conceivably make my top five. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 My absolute favorite wrestlers when I was 9. No one except for Pillman was close, and even then, he was only close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victory Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 I'm pretty confident they'll be in my top ten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo Slice Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 It's between them and the Fantastics for me as my favorite team from the time period, and I think that the Rose/Somers feud might be better than RnR/Midnights for me, too. Easy Top 10, maybe even Top 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
