The Best Tag Team Rivalry In Wrestling History?

The other one that comes to mind, though it goes beyond a four man feud, is the Freebirds vs. the Von Erichs.

I can't agree more. The only thing I would do is change the order of this. The Von Erich Freebird feud was legendary. They had six-man, tag team, Texas Whipping matches, Penalty box matches, Strap matches, Steel cage, Texas Death matches-the list goes on and on. Never again was there so much hatred in two teams.

The Midnight Express and R&R Express was classic wrestling greatness. Those teams knew each other so well and worked off of each other. They were the most even teams athletically, their matches are a joy to watch even today!

My vote goes to E&C vs Hardyz. The 4 of them basically grew through together and as they grew, their matches became better and better. They were innovative without being overly gimmicky in their matches (more on that in a second).

While Von Erichs/Freebirds and Midnight Express/Rock'N'Roll express were great feuds, the only reason I picked EC/Hardyz over them is they were too gimmicky. They didn't really "grow" in their matches, it was just a series of "ok, we need to have these 2 in a match so let's put them in a different gimmick than last month" It's kind of the same issue so many people have with the current wrestling product today.

Hart Foundation/British Bulldogs was too short of a feud and hurt by the unfortunate passing of Dynamite Kid. Demolition and LOD had all the makings of a classic feud with the top teams in different companies finally feuding for supremacy but it just never unfolded like most thought (a tag team version of Hogan/Flair if you will)

The Dynamite Kid is still alive, buddy. Also, the Hart Foundation and the Bulldogs feuded with each other off and on for 2 years.

That's not a long time when you think about feuds like the Rock N Roll Express and the Midnight Express, but it's still pretty damn good.

For me it has to be the 3 team rivalry between The Hardy Boyz, Edge & Christian and The Dudley Boyz. The matches these 3 teams have blew the roof of the arena night after night and took tag-team wrestling to heights it had never been to before, or since for that matter.

The 3 teams feuded with each other for a long while, from the first ever tag-team ladder match between The Hardyz and Edge & Christian (which cemented them as superstars) to the first tag-team tables between The Dudleyz and Hardyz to the triangle ladder matches and finally the iconic TLC matches. The feud was fresh, exciting and gave us matches like we had never seen before in the WWF.

It was great that each team had their own style of wrestling, and their own signiture weapon (Hardyz = ladders, Dudleyz = tables and E&C = chairs), and from those teams came 3 multi-time World Champions in Edge, Christian and Jeff Hardy (4 if you count Matt's ECW title) and Bubba and D'Von have gone on to continue their great success across the world and are now big stars in TNA.

There were so many innovative, creative moves in these matches, with all 6 guys putting their careers on the line night after night with one crazy bump after another. Some of their matches remain some of my all-time favourites.

WWF tag team wrestling was in great shape at this time, with plenty of other teams including the APA, New Age Outlaws, Too Cool, Kaientai and several others, but no feud sticks in my mind like the this one.

Anything after 1990 shouldn't even be brought up.

Tag team wrestling was the biggest in the 80s with so many great teams and rivalries, many of which have already been named.

You could make a case for any of them, but as far as my favorite...gotta go Hart Foundation/Bulldogs. Not only did they have the storyline with Danny Davis but they had the excellent matches to go along with it.

My may get heat for this personal answer. But in my opinion, it would have to be the APA vs the Dudley Boyz. The Dudley Boyz debuted in the then-WWF feuding against the APA (Faarooq & Bradshaw). And from then on out for years they would feud with each other for the WWF tag team title's or over something else.

But in your own opinion, what was the best & greatest tag team rivalrie in wrestling history?

Listen... stop creating threads that have been done in the past few months. You're not creative and you're not contributing anything to the forums by doing that.

And since I'm not a mod and can be infracted for not contributing to the discussion, it's easily the Rock n Roll Express and Midnight Express because it was strong at it's peak in the 80's and it still takes place to THIS DAY, albeit in smaller venues.

Edge and Chrisitan and The Hardy Boyz are up there, too because of the brutality they had in their feud. Every other tag team didn't really have 'rivalries'.

So there you go. You better hope I'm never moderator of this section again.

Hey if you ain't feel'in the thread don't respond to it. And this thread I've posted has been around for awhile if you've looked at the date. And wtf do you mean by "You better hope I'm never moderator of this section again"? Are you threating me?? Lariat Barrage, you are filled with hate for real.

Big up's to both the Rock n Roll Express and Midnight Express. They've both paved the way for tag teams of the future and beyond.

It wasn't a threat. It was a promise... that if I modded Old School again, and if you posted poopy threads, I will delete them.

And add the Hart Foundation and Demolition to that mix. They feuded back and forth for ages for the the WWF World Tag Team titles and their feud came to a head when Hart Foundation won over Demolition thanks to interference from the Road Warriors.

But your not a moderator (thank God) so stop acting like your the WZ pope on here fool. If you wanna take to those days, then how about the Hart Foundation and the Rockers. They were all in the same tag team era as the Road Warriors and Demolition. Where tag team wrestling meant something.

You should read more, and get a girlfriend jerk-off!

I'm done playing around with you. I take pride in this section as this is the first part of the forum I posted in on a regular basis. You've come up with dumb posts to questions that no one cares to answer. No one cares who the best 'martial artist' is in a wrestling ring. IT'S FUCKING WRESTLING!

Same goes for your other threads. Any RVD question is usually stupid because he's overrated and only feuded with 3 or 4 people on a regular basis. His career isn't decorated enough to have a 'Best Rivalry thread'.

And this tag-team rivalry question's been asked at least 5-6 times over the course of a few years. Also, many tag-teams didn't have rivals. They were simply tag teams that wanted to win their belt. Other than RnR and Midnight Express, there really wasn't a heated feud between tag teams. I was reaching with Demolition and Hart Foundation, but all of those feuds were due to the titles, not personal.

So when you come into a section I used to moderate and create spammy discussions that contribute nothing to the conversation, it pisses me off. I cannot stand when a bad poster decides to trash a section I'm fond of.

So either research your topics before you post or simply post in other threads. You don't have to listen to me as I'm not a moderator, but it's good advice.
