I like their "Let's leave out the Dudleyz. They're in TNA." part, even though the two teams they always feuded with were in the top 4.

Same with New Age Outlawz - when they were with wwe, all you heard was how they were one of the best of all times.

I dunno, I guess the list is decent enough. I'd say that the Hardyz and E and C are pretty overrated (and the lack of the Dudleys is interesting, since they were the third leg of that tripod and are actually the most decorated of the three, overall). Its not how my top 10 would look, but for WWE its not an awful list.

Overrated in which way? Ranking on the list? Or the fact they are even on the list to begin with?

Ranking on the list. I don't mind them being in the Top 10, but, IMO, they are bottom 5 of the list, not Top 5. IMO, the tag division of the 80s-early 90s was far more competitive and important than in the Hardys-E and C days. Both of those teams may have more tag team title reigns than a team like the Harts, Bulldogs or Rockers, but I am far more impressed by the work of the latter teams. Had the booking philosophy been in the Harts-Rockers-Demolition time what it had been for the EC, Duds and Hardys, they'd all have like 37 title reigns, too.

I'm not exceptionally thrilled that the Road Warriors top the list, but its just preference, there, I've got no argument.

What are you basing that on? Just wondering, because from what I hear, their best stuff was in the NWA, not the WWF.

Admittedly, just WWF stuff. I know of their non-WWF stuff by reputation only, which is the biggest reason that I don't have an argument against their spot.

Pft... for my money, doing what must have been, literally, 37 title changes between Dudleyz, Hardz and E and C is part of the reason why the belts meaningless these days. I just stop caring at one point, because, at most, I knew someone else was going to be tag champions in month's time, if that.

That, and who really gives **** if the Hardy Boyz held the belt on different several occasions, if the same could be said for just about every major tag-team in the Attitude Era. Sad part is that I am saying this as Hardy Boyz mark.

Hell, even Kane, guy who does not even belong in the division, I think, is at the very least, former 5-time tag-team champion.

With that being said, I swear, in the Attitude Era, seems as if everyone and their mom had "accomplish" of being former tag-team champion under their belt.

To certain degree, same could be said for the IC title.

Beyond that, also did not exactly help matters, either, that for about year or two, I must have seen 100 matches from the trio and needless to say, if that is not formula for complete over-kill, I am not sure what is.

They inducted the Blackjacks last year into the HoF, yet they don't think they should be in that list? Also APA should be in there as well as Jericho/Benoit but you could proly understand the latter.

Why exactly do you think either of those two teams should be in there? Jericho and Beniot weren't even a tag team, they were singles wrestlers who happened to win the tag team titles briefly.

And I'm not saying the APA wasn't a good team, but, IMO, they're stretching it with an honorable mention. They are outclassed on a variety of different levels by teams both on and off the list.

If we are going to put Jericho/Benoit in, then we might as well put Kane/Hurricane in. :P But seriously I think that the Dudleys should at the very least be an honorable mention. And I personally feel that the Hardys are way too high on that list, they should be somewhere around 7 or 8.

If we are going to be mentioning random parings, while they do not deserve to be on the list by any stretch of the word, as far as I am concerned, Rock N' Sock would have top that sort of list

Can be up with interpretation, but thats a decent list. Even though you could like, move the Hardy Boyz down a few, and move a few up. London & Kendrick -- honorable mention? I mean, come on, I love the potential they could have, and how much they perform, but they are considered a possible Top 10 from the WWE? Honorable mention means to be that it's just a few spots away from a "Top List." :?

The list seems good to me. I can understand leaving The Dudleyz out. I would've ranked The Rockers in the top 5 categories cuz they were the team that made Tag Team action fun to watch from the late 80s to the early 90s.
