I was thinking the other day, their have been a lot of good tag teams out there in the history of wrestling.. but normally the tag teams were only good together.. once they became solo wrestlers, the fans would lose love/faith in them.. SOME can emerge and become stars.. (HBK, Hart, Booker T,etc..) but what about the other guy in the group?
This got me thinking.. what tag teams had both guys so popular that many would love them regardless if they were in a solo act or tag team but both would be so over.. which tag teams accomplished that?
I can think of a few.. but I wanted more input from others.. now that you see what I mean.. the ones I can think of off the top of my head are..
The OutSiders.. (Kevin Nash/Scott Hall) both were cheered and rooted to win in singles or tag team and had a very sucessfull careers.
DX (HBK/Triple H) same scenerio as above..
Mega Powers? (Hogan / Savage) yeah yeah I know .. hogan blah.. but Savage wasn't in wrestling that long when this started.. this elevated him more..but both were loved for YEARS after this.
Von Erichs (David, Kerry, Kevin)
These guys were rock stars in popularity .. sold out everywhere.. tag team and singles titles these guys were huge solo or teaming.. its a shame that not many talk about how great the Von Erichs were.
I think of great tag teams.. the midnight express, rock n roll express, the legion of doom, the hart foundation, the rockers, the bulldogs, harlem heat, etc .. together they were great.. but.. individually normally either ONE or none was able to do it long term with the same success.
So my question is who else can you all think of?
