I think, despite being rough around the edges, Demolition outclassed even the Harts and Bulldogs as champs because they elicited fear and the aura of invincibility for several years. I remember being scared for Rick Martel and Tito Santana going into WrestleMania IV, and like Jesse said, this is the first time he can remember the champions going in the underdogs. The first time I felt this way about Demolition was when they destroyed poor Brady Boone and started their war with Ken Patera and Billy Jack Haynes. Who are your picks?

I always liked the Hart Foundation though. Demolition was a great tag team but I really enjoyed watching the Hart Foundation.

I agree with Scottingraham. The Harts were a superior technical team and could outsmart & outwrestle anyone. The Hart Foundation vs. Brain Busters matches were superb!

I have to give my vote to Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard The Brain Busters.
A good sound technical Heel team they didn't need a fancy gimmick to get over they just used there mat skills.
It was quite simple they wrestled yer, they beat yer down, they spiked yer with the Two Man Piledriver, they pinned yer 1-2-3 and Arn, Tully and Bobby are on there way back to the dressing room.

The Brainbusters was a very dangerous tag team and had that luxury of coming to the WWF as tag team partners already. I really liked Arn and Tully in the NWA and when they moved to WWF I really thought they were in the top two of best tag teams in the WWF along with the Hart Foundation. Alphas right their matches were nothing short of great.

The Colossal Connection......I remember watching them as tag champs.....that was just about as bad as watching the Quebecers or worse yet...the Bodydonnas hold the belts.

G-d bless Andre, he was a true legend, but that tag team blew chunks. I don't think Haku ever recovered, to be honest.

I may be biased but the team didnt seem so bad to me granted Haku was a good worker but lacked charisma and Andre had the size and charisma but wasnt a very good worker at that stage of his career but they worked well as a team and who could begrudge the two legit toughest guys in the business a short run as tag champs.

Haku was one of the toughest guys in the business. As was Andre. Two good guys...but the only reason they had the belts was as a tribute to Andre to end his active career. He deserved a title for sure, but not the tag straps. Beating Perfect for the IC belt might have been better. |

Maybe you're right in a sense, but I don't consider anyone from that era of W.C.W. to be having a flourishing career. From Hulk Hogan's arrival until the formation of the N.W.O., W.C.W. was one sad place to watch. |
