Welcome to our Best Tag Team of All Time Tournament. As always your boys TK and Big Sexy Matt Tracht compiled the list for this tournament via a draft. Our process started by drafting what we thought were the 64 best tag teams of all time. (We tried to limit the make-shift superstar teams like The Rock-n-Sock Connection, Shawn Michaels & Triple H, The Brothers of Destruction, Team Hell No, Kane & Daniel Bryan, Kane & X-Pac, etc). We then took the 64 teams we drafted and put them in a March Madness-like tournament. That is a tournament where there are 4 brackets and each bracket consists of 16 teams. We decided on the first-round matchups by using a randomizer. The randomizer gave us some intriguing matchups and one incredibly stacked first-round! A few of those matchups include The Steiner Brothers vs Midnight Express, New Age Outlaws vs Harlem Heat, and The Outsiders vs Demolition, meaning that some great teams will be out round one. Let’s get into it!
First, let’s take a look at our draft. (We drafted by alternating picks and drafted the teams in the order that we felt the teams ranked all time.)
