Best Tag Team Names?

[Eegah]

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.

[Johnny Sorrow]

The Road Warriors

The Bruise Brothers

The Moondogs

The Hollywood Blondes

Harlem Heat

[goc]

Demolition

Doom

The Dirty White Boys

[NotJayTabb]

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

[JaymeFuture]

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~!

[Goodear]

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?

[LowBlowPodcast]

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.

[JRH]

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.

[ButchReedMark]

Vicious and Delicious wins this at a canter. That name is perfect in just about every single way.

[JerryvonKramer]

Money Incorporated

[khawk20]

Vicious and Delicious wins this at a canter. That name is perfect in just about every single way.

 

Always loved that name.

 

Another of my favourites: The Black 'n' Blue Express--Ken Patera & Bobby Duncum.

[pmo]

I was always a fan of Motor City Machine Guns.

[Yo-Yo's Roomie]

Any kind of Wrecking Crew or Riot Squad is good.

[Migs]

Fire & Ice was a pretty good name for a terrible team.

[stevieg1980]

Best Friends

[DMJ]

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]

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.

[Zenjo]

Another vote for Vicious and Delicious

 

Dream Orca

Murder Inc.

Tekno Team 2000

[Ship Canal]

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.

 

 

 

[Ship Canal]

Dangan Yankees (no idea what it actually means, but it sounds badass)
The Yukon Lumberjacks
Samoan SWAT Team
Jumping Bomb Angels
Rhythm and Blues
Doom (so simple, yet so menacing)

Special K was funny at the time, but only because I was taking a lot of it myself.

[grapplin' apple]

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.

[C.S.]

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...

Nothing that hasn't been said, but for me:

 

Road Warriors

Miracle Violence Connection

Holy Demon Army

Motor City Machine Guns

The Hollywood Blonds

[Badlittlekitten]

Minnesota Homewrecking Crew
