Eegah Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 I am a giant fan of tag wrestling so I was pondering the best tag team names ever. What do you think? Tops for me would be Holy Demon Army, Miracle Violence Connection, Raging and Ravishing, Midnight Express (from the darkside), and The New Breed.

NotJayTabb Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 One of my friends,when we discuss this, will always refer to the shortlived team of the Godfather and Val Venis: Supply & Demand As for my favourite team names: Powers of Pain (it doesn't make much sense, but it SOUNDS terrifying) The Faces of Fear Calamari Catch Kings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaymeFuture Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 I've grown to hate the trend of coming up with a name to "merge" two singles guys. Rated RKO, for example, I thought was an awful name. But with that said, I thought Beer Money is the exception and was a tremendous name. Hollywood Blondes, Demolition, and both Road Warriors and Legion of Doom are cool as fuck names. Also, Power and Glory~! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodear Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 I love the Moondog name... I don't understand it but I love it. Like didn't that name come originally from Moondog Mayne being some sort of hippy weirdo? How did it become Bayou Monsters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowBlowPodcast Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 I'd have to put the Brainbusters at the top of the list. Road Warriors, Powers of Pain... I always like the Twin Towers vs Skyscrapers debate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRH Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 Here's one thats rarely brought up, Vader and Sid as The Masters of the Powerbomb. I dont know, i just always found it cool, if a tad generic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButchReedMark Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 Vicious and Delicious wins this at a canter. That name is perfect in just about every single way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yo-Yo's Roomie Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 Any kind of Wrecking Crew or Riot Squad is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMJ Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 Not a team, but I love the name: The Alliance To End Hulkamania. It just sounded so official, like, you could imagine them getting together, electing a treasurer, having someone keep minutes, maybe even hosting a fundraiser...Honestly, the more I think about it, the more I think WCW dropped by the ball by not having hour-long episodes devoted to covering their meetings C-SPAN style.

CarpetCrawler Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 I'm a sucker for names with "Connection" in them. East-West Connection, Can-Am Connection ("I guess Martel's just the can now!!"), Colossal Connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenjo Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Another vote for Vicious and Delicious Dream Orca Murder Inc. Tekno Team 2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ship Canal Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 I love the Moondog name... I don't understand it but I love it. Like didn't that name come originally from Moondog Mayne being some sort of hippy weirdo? How did it become Bayou Monsters? I always thought that must have been the case, especially because Mayne was visually reminiscent of the Moondog beloved of freaks and outsiders everywhere.

grapplin' apple Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 I always enjoyed Minnesota Home Wrecking Crew as a take-off. Also, Holy Demon Army and Miracle Violence Connection as mentioned before. The Assassins also sounded menacing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ship Canal Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 The Blackjacks The Rock 'n Roll Express (surprised this hasn't been mentioned) The Public Enemy As much as I adore RnR Express, I always felt the name was incredibly corny. I mean, I know some of the ones I have mentioned are hardly cool, and its wrestling after all, so calling something out for being corny is a pretty preposterous notion in and of itself, but the name and the gimmick always reminded me of an embarrassing Dad taking his teenage son to his first gig and declaring that he's "rock n rollin' baby!" at a Bauhaus gig or some shit. Or Cliff Richard imploring people to "move it and a groove it" in comparison to Jerry Lee Lewis smashing up your medicine cabinet and setting himself on fire accidentally after downing the bleach from under your sink. Admittedly, growing up in inner city northern England, there may have been something lost in cultural translation, because as I said, its not like they weren't obscenely over. Just always kind of cringed at the name, whereas something equally silly like Miracle Violence Connection or Minnesota Wrecking Crew just didn't seem quite as risible in context...
