Simple question. I was watching Triple H and Stone Cold vs Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho on RAW from 2001 for the WWF tag team titles last night, and it made me wonder. At the time there were at least four or more established tag teams, ranging form the Hardys to the Dudleys, to E and C, to the Brothers of Destruction, and more. And the tag titles were on two of the biggest singles stars in the company, and were being contested against another pair of widely-regarded singles stars.
In recent memory we've had nowhere near as much depth in the division, with the majority of teams who win the gold being thrown together (JeriShow, Air Boom, Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre, etc), even in TNA (Morgan and Hernandez, Morgan and Crimson, Morgan and Abyss...there's a pattern here...).
So, that being said...
Who is your favorite tag team made of two guys usually seen in singles competition?
For me, Austin and HHH, the Two Man Power Trip, was fantasticly done, and was cut short by HHH's injury. I would have loved to see how this team, and their eventual break-up, would have panned out. They were dominant as a heel team should be, they had all the gold at one point, and they destroyed anyone who got in their way.
But that said, I did love the team that took the belts off them. Jericho and Benoit. Former rivals turned team-mates, I will always remember their ladder match at the 2001 Royal Rumble. When they teamed up to win a tag-team turmoil match at Judgement Day 2001, I really didn't think they'd be able to co-exist, yet alone win. And yet, I found myself cheering for them, and willing them to win. And they did; both the turmoil and the title match, and went on to defend the belts in the third ever TLC match on Smackdown.
So, team made up of two singles superstars? Who's your favorite?
