After knocking off the 22nd ranked MnM & 23rd MCMG in the first round the wildcard Rockers had the upset of the tourney by knocking off the #1 ranked Steiner Brothers....can they continue against the #2 ranked 22 time tag team champion......

They made easy work of Los Guerreros but are Bubba & Devon next to go down to Shawn & Marty or will the most successful tag team of all time get the tables and set their spandex on fire?

The Road Warriors

The #3 ranked Legion of Doom had no issue disposing of the wildcard LAX but with this highflying duo give them more of a challenge?


VS


Londrick

1. The Rockers - The Rockers got good matches out of everyone. Dudleys had some good moments, but they had more bad than good.

2. The Road Warriors - I really didn't think I'd vote for the Road Warriors again, but they're up against a team that was good together for a year.

3. Rock 'n' Roll Express - I don't know how Beer Money managed to tie with the superior Briscoes, but Rock 'n' Roll easily beats them. While Briscoes/Rock are a lot closer, you still have tag team 101 is all about Rock n Roll Express.

4. Midnight Express - E&C aren't even in MX's league. MX had load of better two-on-two matches, had a style that became tag wrestling 101 and were together longer.

5. Brainbusters - Brainbuster's slew of quality matches beat out AMW. For Harts, the Brainbusters had either the Hart's best match or their second best match. So they're a bit above Harts.

1. Dudleyz - Controversial, but had a greater span of success. It's one thing to be a great tag team in one company, but the Dudleyz were a top (if not the top) tag team across three major american promotions, and also won tag team gold in Japan. The Rockers had the better matches, but for me the fact is that was only in one company.

2. Roadwarriors - Not even close. Londrick had a great year, but the LOD became legends during their time.

3. R & R - Briscoes still beat Beer Money, but they can't outdo the blueprint of tag team wrestling.

4. Midnight Express - Same reasons as HF listed.

I'll come back to match 5 in a bit, need to think about this one.

1. The Rockers - This was a tough one because I really do love the Dudley boys, but I couldn't vote against The Rockers here.

2. The Road Warriors - Longevity once again wins out.

3. Rock 'n' Roll Express - Defined the babyface tag team? Check. A plethora of top notch matches? Check. Better than BMI and Briscoes? Check.

4. Midnight Express - The Midnight Express is the GOAT. Nothing else needs to be said here.

5. Brainbusters - Absolutely impossible not to vote for perhaps the second greatest tag team of all time.

Rockers - Too amazing teams without a doubt. I can't vote against The Rockers though.

London & Kendrick - It may seem crazy but they're my favorite team of all time. Watching them was like The Rockers reborn in ways. Their matches entertained me more than LOD.

Rock n Roll Express - I decided to go watch some more R n R matches and I'm going to go with the majority here.

Edge & Christian - That pretty much makes my three favorite teams of all time in this round. They had it all.

Hart Foundation - Honestly, I haven't seen enough of The Brainbusters. I have seen plenty of HF though and they're good.

Dudleyz - Very accomplished, feel they contributed more to the division as a whole compared to The Rockers.

Road Warriors - Longevity

R n R - As much as I wanted to side with the Briscoes here, I just couldn't.

Edge and Christian

Brainbusters - Gotta go with Arn and Tully, they're my boys.

The Rockers - I barely made a choice but had to go with these two.

The Road Warriors - legendary


Rock n Roll Express - they're just a little better


The Midnight Express - come on, one of the greatest ever vs a three year team.


The Brain Busters - most difficult one but I had to go with these guys.

Dudleyz - not sure how a team that is best known for the way it broke up is beating a team that has had so much tag team gold...but oh well...Dudleyz are far and beyond a tag team that has had a greater impact on wrestling for over a decade...but I am looking at more then just match quality on this...plus u can't deny the longevity of the Dudleyz

LOD - is a no brainer....Londrick was lucky to make it this far

RnR - in spades over Briscoes and BMI

Midnight Express - as great as E&C are...the Midnight's did fuckin scaffold matches with LOD!

Brainbusters - if you break it down member by member there is now way the Harts can take Tully & Arn and well AMW just don't stand a chance

:this:

The Dudley Boyz are without a doubt one of the most legendary teams in the business. What other tandem can you say has been to the top of EVERY promotion they've been a apart of and has racked up 23 world titles to their credit? Plus they've been in some of the sickest matches of all-time. All their matches with Edge, Christian and the Hardy Boyz are unreal. The Rockers were great but they didn't last that long and Micheals accomplished so much more alone than he did with Marty. Which if I'm being honest wasn't much at all.

The Road Warriors and it's not even close. Sorry London but you can't compete with these legends.

Beer Money, Inc. so it's not a complete shut out. The Rock N' Roll Express clearly owned tag team wrestling for a period there but Beer Money still deserve a solid mention.

Edge & Christian were one of my all-time favorites growing up. If it weren't for these guys reeking of awesomeness every week I might not have become the fan of tag team wrestling I am today. I imagine this is why most of you voted for the Midnight Express. I still have to watch their TLC Matches once in a while because of how great they were.

The Brain Busters would literally bust the brains out of AMW's heads. I still can't fathom why they made it thus far. Brain Busters were legit bad asses and taking the tag scene by storm. They aren't stopping here and I hate to break it to them but not even a "Hart Attack" can slow them down.
