[8.0] "Easily the most underutilised and unappreciated teams on WWE's main roster. Two great in ring performers with incredible tag team chemistry and are true workhorses when it comes to running house shows. Hopefully after the draft they get the push they deserve."

[8.0] "A solid and dependable staple on the Ontario Independent scene, Each member brings something different to the group. They all have the knowledge to bring great old school heel work to their matches and are a very easy team to despise. The original two have both been around for quite some time now and every time I get to watch them wrestle they always seem to be improving (their match with Latinos Most Wanted being one of the best matches Ive seen them in) their other more permanent member Josh Sin gives me very big MJF before AEW vibes. I would like to be able to see this team/group outside of the southern Ontario circuit and branch out elsewhere, because I really do believe that they can accomplish some big things."

[] "[2.0] It's very bold to do a nostalgia run on a team that wasn't good to begin with. I don't really know what to say, they both do seem like great people outside of the ring but there's nothing they do, have done, or will ever do that makes me want to go out of my way to watch a match."

[] "[2.0] Awful, awful team. Neither guy stands out with their ability or promos. Waller is ok but I don't think he's anywhere near as good I've heard before I started watching him. He also has really terrible gear. Not heel heat gear but I want to laugh at how silly he looks and not watch his matches."

[6.0] "A fine veteran/rookie paring that could have been great if the team lasted longer and they had been taken a little more seriously as heels. Hopefully they'll bring this team back at some point."

[3.0] "A horrible mismatch of a team that seems to exist just so Jericho can leech off yet another over, younger talent. At least with someone like Sammy their characters meshed well but with Hook there is literally nothing between them."

[7.0] "PPRay were consistently one of the entertaining acts on any Bar Wrestling card. On top of being fairly solid wrestlers, Rosas and Avalon always have some great comedic bits in their matches. I really hope AEW brings Rosas in to join to join Avalon in ROH because I would love to see them do their stuff on a slightly bigger stage."

[7.0] "A really fun Junior tag team with an organic older brother / younger brother dynamic. Which is weird 'cause TJP is like twice Fracesco's age. Still, they've got very good chemistry and tend to put on the most entertaining match on the undercard."

[7.0] "It's been nice watching YOSHI-HASHI find his niche after so many years of being a walking meme. The tandem with Goto has gelled really well and given a shot in the arm for both guys, easily adding another five years to Goto's career. Just a shame NJPW seemingly cannot devote brainpower to booking more than one credible heavyweight tag team at a time."

[4.0] "This team actually sucks. I don't like Chris Jericho in 2024 because he seems like he still wants that spotlight and is fearful of losing it even with his flabby aging body and Hook is a good talent and doesn't deserve this treatment and being in a team with a broken down man who frankly hasn't been interesting in a WHILE."

[9.0] "Don't split them call up Corbin with him, and let them dethrone A-Town Down Under and then feud with New Catch Republic"

[10.0] "A real tag team. 2 wrestlers who are great together and helped to progress during this period. I am very excited to see this team in the main roster in the not too distant future and I am sure that a bright future awaits them."

[8.0] "They've had a lot of great matches throughout the years and really elevated themselves into a main event level team. I know people like to dunk on them, and sometimes they do deserve it, but they're not the worst tag team to ever make it in professional wrestling. They can wrestle, they're athletic, decent on the mic, have a bit of charisma, they're just a very solid team. However, I don't think you could ever confidently say you're one of the best teams ever without at least having one run in WWE. These guys could absolutely do it and really become "superstars" if they were to do so, until then I really can't give them anything other than an 8. Not all guys need to go to WWE to become a legend or a big name, but I feel like if you're a tag team... you've gotta have a run there, at least once."

[9.0] "For the longest time I felt that Baron Corbin would do well in a tag team if given the right tag partner based on things such as The Deep Six and End of Days being the type of moves that the crowd would lose it for. He found that partner in Bron Breakker who got to show off how well he does in tag teams over the years with the likes of Ciampa/Bate/Wes Lee/Carmelo/Creeds but never had a full partner. Despite a shorter run as a team, they got very popular very quickly as heels and put together a strong catalog of matches over a few months time. With Bron seemingly finished with NXT now, I hope that we see them team again but it was a very strong ride while it lasted."

[10.0] "I remember how random it was to pair them up, but man, did it work. Not a single bad match on their resume as a team. The run was quite short yet excellent and memorable for NXT fans. Baron has been rejuvenated and Bron is ready for the main roster more than ever before. These two benefited from this big time"

[7.0] "These two are an enjoyable duo on screen, though not currently due to Piper currently being out with a wrist injury. However, as champions they had some great comedic moments. Them dressing as Bret and Anvil was great, as was their performance in the Royal Rumble, they were standouts. I can't rate them higher though due to no real notable matches. I really enjoyed the match with Thea and Jacy at Halloween Havoc, but it wasn't particularly memorable and most of their other matches were very short sadly."

[6.0] "I hate that Sonya got hurt, this team had so much potential and were the tag team champions! They were great as annoying karens and their matching ring gear served, sad to see it end but I hope they reunite soon when Sonya is back"

[5.0] "These two had some good matches as a duo (vs Shotzi and Nattie in Canada, vs Katana and Kayden, vs Unholy Union). They got the tag titles on a PPV main card which is rare. Their split up was a bit rushed and on the mic they were cringy though"

[6.0] "Probably the worst duo to be 2x tag champs, but they were good for their short run together. Their first reign had the tag titles be actually relevant which is a miracle, and it gave both ladies some stuff on their resume. Good all around, wish Liv didn't get injured so they could've stuck together longer"

[5.0] "Giving them a 5 just for being prominent in the later half of 2022, with a WarGames appearance and two bangers with Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky. They were mostly Bianca lackeys, but their bangers with Damage CTRL raise them up, the Crown Jewel match in particular is one of my favorite women's tag team title matches"

[0.0] "My least favorite team to hold the tag titles. This literally did NOTHING but hurt Damage CTRL's momentum, Aliyah was cleared for a year before being released but just wasn't used."

[6.0] "These two were on fire for a bit as the tag team champions, getting actual good promo and match time unlike the past few previous duos. However, they are mostly memorable for walking out which nearly killed these titles. Good though."

[5.0] "Of the many thrown together teams that have held the women's tag team championships, these two are ones that I am kinda fond of. Points knocked off for barely matching ring gear, but their personalities fit together well."

[1.0] "How did THIS pairing hold the tag titles? They were thrown together with no chemistry, but teams like Riott Squad never got to be champions. Thankfully this ended rather quickly and Rhea is doing much better now"

[5.0] "This was alright. This was clearly a "thank you" run as Tamina is retired atp, but it served it's purpose. Tamina getting cheered at Wm37 was the highlight, as well as their wholesome title win. They sadly didn't do much as champions, but hey."

[9.0] "I don't care what anyone says, this team was great and their first reign as tag champs is lowkey one of the best in the title's history. I wasn't keen on it when the pairing first happened and they dethroned Sasha and Bayley over real teams like The Riott Squad or Golden Role Models, but they shut me up with a great match against Sasha and Bayley on Smackdown. Their match quality fell off after that, but they were very entertaining as characters with their petty arguments backstage and more notably, the Lana storyline. These two putting Lana through tables weekly was so funny, I know the storyline wasn't popular but I loved it. They lost the titles to Charlotte and Asuka at TLC 2020, but gained them back at Royal Rumble and I think have the most successful defenses in a single reign there, including a win at Wrestlemania after adding Reggie as their manager. All in all, very entertaining and were 2x champs which counts for something"

[2.0] "Awful, just awful. R-Truth is a funny, sure, but once upon a time he was a serious wrestler who put on pretty good matches and was NWA champion. The Miz is bad at everything except talking but even with that, he's been doing the same promo for 15 years. It shows how little WWE continues to value the tag team division by putting belts on glorified jobbers. I have to get to 500 characters because what I've provided isn't considered enough justification as to why I'm giving them such a low rating. They're not a good team, ok."

[8.0] "Solid Tag Team, since the formation in August of last year they been a very solid cocky heel team, Im not surprised that they worked together well because they both complete one and another easily. Im really excited to see what they do with the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships."

[8.0] "This team was very fun to watch. Their opponents really bring out the best of them in most occasions. Mizuki and Ito are both great in ring workers. Very entertaining as well."

[8.0] "I love this team a lot, it took a little time to get used to them but I think they are both extremely entertaining together and have potential to be a really elevated tag team on Smackdown. I'm glad they got the tag titles and am interested to see what they can do."

[2.0] "A really bad tag team and a train wreck to watch. Thank goodness this was not the team of the millennium. I didn't mind Watts as a singles wrestler in WCW, and Chad Fortune is just plain bad. They were so still in the ring as as a tag team and had no flow or charisma."

[7.0] "A tag team/trio that has high highs but cringy lows. Focusing on the main tag team, they both pass in the ring but neither really stand out above their peers. I don't know if I could support either of them on their own, but together they got me to get interested in The Gunns. Twice even. I think 2024 will be an important year to see if they can get serious about the bigger titles (Tag Team over Trios) or if we've seen all the tricks they got."

[10.0] "Tag Team wrestling simply would not be the same without them. Watching these hosses work as a unit made me fall in love with the idea of tag team wrestling. I would like to go back and watch some more Steiner brothers matches just to fill this out more."

[7.0] "Even if I believe that it's kinda far-fetched to have The Usos in the discussion for Best Tag Team of all time, one thing that this team has succeeded that few teams did was keeping a certain level of consistency, something that contemporaries like Young Bucks, FTR couldn't achieve yet the highs those latter two achieved are far higher than peak Usos. But that criticism shouldn't overshadow the fact that The Usos did a lot to have at least something interesting during the dark times of late 2010's WWE with their wasteland of a tag team division."

[8.0] "I give these two guys all of the credit in the world .They were put together after WWF had pretty much given up on tag team wrestling in 2001 following the hardyz/dudleyz/e&c thing, yet still managed to be one of the most memorable tag teams of the ruthless aggression era. Say what you want about their gimmick, I loved it personally myself, but they went all in on it (looked alike, dressed alike, etc) , had good chemistry with each other, and made it work to a large degree. The pose down against stacy & torrie, the wedding to each other on live television with eric being unveiled as the preacher, and them working against Hogan for the tag titles was some of the most memorable stuff of that time frame on smack down. Another thing that added credibility to the act for me was that these are not two small guys. Billy Gunn is 6'6" or 6'7", Palumbo has gotta be the same thing. So when you got two pure athletes who are that size, look like they do physically, and can go in the ring, confessing their affection for each other you aren't gonna question it, and instead are just instantly take them seriously (at least I did). Their theme music was great as well, so damn catchy."

[] "Let me give the most honest and in depth review since Ive read the other ones on here. Marcus Gold: The kid has a great size and when presented with the opportunity can show both power and speed really well, however when not in that sort of spot I really think Gold falls into the most forgettable person in the group especially since their newer member Junior Power is bigger, more intimidating and shows a ton of power. Gold also rarely speaks in promos which also I think makes him much more forgettable. However Im pretty sure he is still young so he has a lot of time to continue to improve. I really think that Felixs comment is backwards, I think Gold leaving Careless Dynasty would actually be the better choice along with changing his ring style and a total overhaul in the looks and gear as well. Christopher Clarence: I believe Christopher is an integral part of Careless Dynasty and I really doubt it would thrive without him. His pros are definitely his creativity in the ring and his promo work is phenomenal. In his cons though I believe he lacks something in his look to stand out completely solo. Clarence is definitely way more fit as a stable leader or a tag team wrestler than a singles star. Im not someone whos to big on muscle definition or anything but I really think if Christopher got jacked up and lost the singlet hed maybe have the potential as a singles star in the future. Josh Syn: Syn has always been someone to me who has a lot of potential but I think is just missing a few things to be considered a big time star. Mic work is great and I agree with RasslinFan as he also remind me of pre AEW MJF. In the ring is where I think Syn is missing thing, not bad by any means though. Junior Power: The most intimidating man in the group but unfortunately green as grass. Keeping him in limited spots go now until he continues gaining experience would definitely be a good move. Still too early to say for sure but with improvement Junior could be a big player. Tantrum? : I left question marks because I really dont know if Tantrum is still in the group, Tantrum joining was a cool moment but he seemed to disappear as quick as he arrived. As a face he was entertaining and moved like a cruiserweight for a bigger man. I would like to see what his ring work would look like as a heel. Overall Careless Dynasty is a lot of fun to watch and hate. They have a lot more positive than negatives and I really have no idea why they arent a bigger thing in Canada"

[5.0] "14 years ago, if you were to tell me that this thrown-together tag team with a forgettable title run would go on to main event the biggest WrestleMania of all time, I wouldn't have believed you. It's crazy to see how different they are compared to now. Goes to prove that you have to go to other pastures to prove your value sometimes."

[5.0] "As a young one I wanted to love them, as an adult I wish I could. Looked T R E M E N D O U S, the pairing on an 8x10 is flawless. The builds, the hair, the TEETH. What a look, what a fantastic top of the line look. What about the work? What a fantastic example of MEH. They had some decent team maneuvers; I will always enjoy a Drop Toe Hold/Elbow Drop combo and I for sure loved the "Powers holds the man for a SPECTACULAR Paul Roma Dropkick from the Top Turnbuckle" finish. I liked the "Diving Fist Drop into a roll and sometimes hitting the other opponent" spot. Paul Roma had some phenomenal Top Rope Sunset Flips during this era. Otherwise it was HEADLOCKS and "Working on the Arm" while Jim Powers would awkwardly lift his legs ever so slightly above the mat almost in a prancing like fashion, I hated that, why did he do that? Is that how he thought a literal stallion would do it? Did someone tell him to look like an idiot out there? Anyway, it seemed whenever they were a focus or given an opportunity, it was only a disappointment. Also, how sad is it that THIS is the peak of Jim Powers? At least Paul Roma evolved as a worker. I really wished I liked them more, it's the disappointment factor that I can't ever seem to shake, you always expect them to "do more" but they somehow do much MUCH less. 5.25"

[8.0] "A great, charismatic babyface junior heavyweight tag team that had natural flow and always boosted the undercard. Let's just pretend the split never happened and SHO never became a horribly miscast generic sneaky heel and YOH never became a slapstick comedy lesbian in a tracksuit. Somebody please get these two guys proper gimmicks."

[] "As one half of Careless Dynasty just want to point out we didnt lose to Monster Rock (we beat them by pinfall)"

[9.0] "Being a male fan in pro wrestling is hard to relate, 0121 came around with a lyrical gangster and a lad who is youngest in charge ruling a local independent wrestling event. By the time a show is over, you are fully inspired to be hip as Boisterous Behaviour. The news came to the states & Leon Slater who has huge potential slot in with the best of the best. Man Like DeReiss who is the seasoned heavyweight that get the crowd bumping grinding and rotting popping. His recent debut in RevPro is a breakout moment with the best UK wrestler in Michael Oku. So much fire surviving the 450 miss and put in the half crab on more than one occasion. Leon Slater is in the X Division, seen on more than 7 stations and still up there with the best of the best. Both men are amazingly skilled and as characters you can party with, beer pong with and you can slap chests with. Check out OnePro revival and the last few shows were proof how talented they are, now barely anyone got paid due to management involvement and 0121 still fought the best teams like the Rascals & ABC, great triangle ladder match which they won in the Doncaster Dome. Special team."

[] "Christopher Clarence exhibits immense potential as a solo wrestler, evident in his innovative and dynamic performance in the ring. However, his partnership with Gold seems to hinder his progress. Gold's lackluster presence and repetitive style fail to complement Clarence's unique and creative offense. While Clarence continuously showcases fresh and inventive maneuvers, Gold's predictable approach detracts from their matches. For Clarence to truly shine and reach his full potential, branching out as an individual wrestler appears to be the logical next step."

[2.0] "I originally left a comment on Jan 17th 2022. Since then things have changed so much that not only did I have to add in an edit, I also had to preface the review! ORIGINAL: Skits 'n bits are fun, the idea is great on paper but when they are a tag team in TAG TEAM matches things kinda fall apart. Great rivalry/storyline but the pair just doesn't do much for me when a tag team. Also, booking them to bury portions of WCW never did sit well. 4.5 rounded up. And here is the EDIT: 4 point 5? That's too generous, a 2.25 is more appropriate. I am convinced you either LoVe ThE uNdErTaKeR or have actually watched his matches. I guess things improved in later years (maybe, perhaps) but for a LONG TIME "The Undertaker" meant "bulls#it booking" and this is a case in point. I like simulated competition, not a fan of political squashes."

[3.0] "This team was iffy to say the least. Very much felt like a Jericho vanity project so that he could team with Omega. It also meant that the Don Callis family vortex and the Jerichoverse vortex collided and meant that Kenny Omega was stuck feuding with the Callis family for the remainder of his 2023, like he had already been doing for about 3/4s of the year. They had good matches but nothing truly outstanding apart from the street fight. It also doesnt help that golden jets doesnt make sense as a tag name as Kota Ibushi is the golden star, not Kenny Omega"

[6.0] "They may not have been the strongest workers but their gimmick was perfect for the Attitude Era. They also had a cool look and probably the best tag finisher in the WWF at the time."

[3.0] "Their singles careers are pretty legendary but I can't think of a single great tag match they had together. They seem like a great team on paper due to their gimmicks and similar styles but they just had no chemistry whatsoever. Their only extended run as a team happened in 2001 and it was pretty terrible on every level. The burial of DDP and Kanyon sucked and them winning the WCW tag belts was one of the low points of the whole invasion storyline. They only thing worse than that 2001 run was that trainwreck against DX in Saudi Arabia."

[5.0] "Up until they lost the tag titles I was a pretty big fan of The Acclaimed. Yeah Caster's raps could sometimes get pretty cringy but their matches were always pretty good and I loved their feud with the Guns and the addition of Gunn as a manager. After losing the belts however, I've really cooled off on the duo and can't bring myself to really care about any of their recent trios matches."

[6.0] "Ok, so I watched most of their matches with a giant asterisk right by it. I haven't seen one promo or segment, it's 100% ring work I viewed. All I was doing at the time was deep diving the ringwork of Goldust, late into his career. This has everything to do with the game "Here Comes The Pain" and building an accurate moveset that features Goldust's standout moves from ALL of his ring years. Gotta straight up say it: This might be the only time I legitimately liked R-Truth instead of feeling underwhelmed or the worse feeling of him just NOT belonging. These two seemed to belong together and there is chemistry. I liked what I watched, wasn't "amazing" or whatever but what simply "good enough" and that works for me. If I ever get to watch that particular era of time in earnest, perhaps the score and write up will change. 6.25"

[10.0] "My favorite incarnation/variation of the tried and true "Wild Samoan" gimmick. Man these two worked! All kinds of double team maneuvers that we will always appreciate. "The Samoan SWAT Team" was a cool name! They helped make dying days World Class fun to watch. I was excited to see where they would go and it was to Jim Herd's WCW, they rocked the place and I found much enjoyment in their tenure there. The WWF was ok for the most part but the name is silly and rather foolish, the "slippery boots" stuff/angle/gimmick was asinine and then *poof* it was over. Great stuff that I have a wealth of honest love for. Good tag team is very good, some of the WWF stuff is lame though (comes with the territory). 9.75 EDIT: How could I forget, they had GREAT entrance music no natter where they went and even though I poo on the WWF, that was their *best* music."

[3.0] "Probably the most overpushed women in WWE history besides the Four HW (even though I'm a fan of Charlotte and Becky I can say both are massively overpushed). Both Nikki and Brie were downright insufferable to watch during the 'Divas Era' and one of them held the Divas Title for just over 300 days, talk about being shoved down fans' throats! I will give them some credit for name value, as the twins had a sizable casual audience fanbase but outside of that, most wrestling fans just outright disliked The Bellas and for most of the criticisms, I can't blame them."

[8.0] "They are a really good tag team although think they were better with Trent Seven. Two of the biggest stars of the UK indies scene before the pandemic and Speak Out movement destroyed it. They are really good in the ring and had some fun segments as a duo"

[7.0] "Kind of a random pairing but it works. I think that Ricky Starks is a talented worker and Big Bill is pretty good in the ring. Starks also has the large personality and charisma to get the team over. Fans did love the pairing."

[7.0] "Righteous is a good tag team. Think they have gotten treated well in ROH under both Delirious and Tony Khan. They have an interesting gimmick with Vincent being really charismatic and both being good in the ring."

[3.0] "I hate this duo and their gimmick/presentation. I can't take them seriously at all. Two little dudes that act like tough and serious rasslers, but look like anything but that. One of them wears a women's monokini from 1965 and makes ugly faces, while the other one looks like a hobo wearing a diaper and nothing else. They should be a lowcard comedy tag at best."

[6.0] "Their match layouts don't always work out, but they definitely meshed well together, coming up with numerous creative spots. Almost any of their (national women's) title defenses are worth watching. Jarochita herself had a notably good match with Reyna Isis in 2022, and I'd generally consider her to be the better worker of this duo. Unfortunately, she is the same reason that the team had to drop the title. Shortly after the last title defense (which is honestly a skippable match), Jarochita announced that she'd be stepping away from pro wrestling for a long time. It's a shame, but the team of Lluvia and Jarochita had a good run."

[6.0] "I think the Gates of Agony have potential. When they are in the ring they can wrestle well in the ring. They get better booking in ROH then on the AEW where they are constantly used as jobbers to established stars."

[6.0] "A Town Down Under is a good tag team in Theory (no pun intended). They are both very charismatic, they can both wrestle in the ring and they interact well together. The problem is together they have a ceiling as an mid card heel team."

[6.0] "These guys used to be really good. And then around 2018 they started watching Young Bucks matches and decided they were just gonna do an even more boring version of that for the rest of their lives. Every single one of their matches from that point onwards has been nothing but superkicks and body splashes. For up to twenty minutes."

[4.0] "You ever go to a bar where there is a cover band playing? Sure, we all have. But imagine this band is incredibly tight, so skilled but only play the worst songs from that band they are covering's back catalogue. And they play it as loud as possible while yelling at the crowd angrily between sets. That's The Young Bucks. A tag team of nerdy youth pastors that saw The Rockers and said "hey, let's BOTH be a foot shorter version of Shawn Michaels! " while in reality, they are actually just two Marty Jannettys. They are tiny, egotistical geeks who constantly pick fights outside of wrestling that they always lose. But, they are the "Vader" of the late 10's / early 20's in that they precipitated the wildest changes in wrestling in a generation. Their selling and in-ring antics are more suitable for comedy wrestling, though. I'd rate them lower, and they are bigots, but I really can't go too low considering that they haven't murdered or SA-ed anyone (that we know of). They also aren't the worst influence in their dying pro wrestling org - that's reserved for Jericho."

[] "[8.0] Im starting to warm up to these guys. Im not a huge fan of Bates style of wrestling, but hes winning me over and he complements Dunne perfectly. They stole the show at EC Perth, and I fully expect gold in their near futures."

[10.0] "The golden standard of tag team wrestling, both men have inspired so many other wrestlers styles in both singles and tag team matches"

[9.0] "They've been great for years. It's crazy that they aren't working all over the country. Big moves and huge slaps. Also surprisingly agile for their size."

[6.0] "For me my favorite Tyris Tag Team, I think they have a future. They are the ones who in my opinion should have been the first tag team champions, but hey."

[8.0] "Love dragon and he carried the promos. Good matches, really enjoyed! Wish they could face horrors but now bgj leave for another tag team?"

[8.0] "These guys are awesome together, one of if not the the best tag team in NXT right now (Wolf Dawgs are also good though. )"

[8.0] "They have good to great matches with many different teams, and remain consistently over with the live crowds. Not much to complain about bell to bell. Promo and character work is solid but repetitive at this point, would like to see something fresh like a truly nasty heel turn."

[8.0] "A legendary tag team, I had one of their shirts as a kid, I don't have it anymore :( but still one of the best tag teams in WWE history. An iconic match that DX had was when they were in a tag team match of DX vs Jeri-Show vs. Cena-Taker. Tremendous star power in that ring during that MSG show. They also had some good merch as well, good entrances."

[8.0] "This is in regard to the Hayes and Gordy tag team, not the 3 man group. I wanna toss that out there up front. I loved the dynamic of the team, You had Michael Hayes who while he wasn't the best in ring worker by any means, had a ton of charisma going for him, could cut a promo like it was no one's business, piss all of the fans off, and make whoever was opposing them in the ring wanna tear his head off, but the reason he could say all of what he said was because he had a 6'4" and close to 300 lbs hoss of an athlete and natural in ring big man worker named Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy backing him up for whenever he talked a little TOO MUCH. They were relatively young as well at this point, so you knew there were more promising times ahead."

[9.0] "Edited with a plethora of embellishments and a score raise: Their brevity is painful, some really good stuff for the short time it lasted. Floundered as babyfaces but were high quality heels. Excellent chemistry and a wonderful contrast of core styles: Tama was the brash, mouthy, charismatic and high flying speed guy. Haku was the strong man, the silent deadly enforcer who would deliver immediate lethal blows. This was Tama/Tonga Kid's best era, some very heelish antics from him here. Perhaps Strike Force's best match up. Made a strong showing at the inaugural Survivor Series and outright embarrassed The Young Stallions at the inaugural Royal Rumble. The Matilda angle was far beyond moronic but that wasn't their fault. Very enjoyable beyond mild caveats. 8.75 (There is a match against The Killer Bees on Prime Time Wrestling April 18th 1988, it's the match from Saturday Night's Main event #15 but all three falls instead of only the last. Very good match that we can not review but DO recommend.)"

[10.0] "The best women's tag team champions of all time? I think so at this point. They are the longest reigning and currently tie for most reigns. They went nowhere as faces, but after their random heel turn at HIAC 2019, they were killing it. Their Japanese promos and updated heel look was great, and they had long matches consistently unlike most other championship duos. They beat Team Kick in the first NXT defense, and their most impressive accomplishment was successfully defending in the main event of TLC 2019 against Charlotte and Becky. To date, this is the only tag title PPV main event. Unfortunately, the rest of their reign wasn't good due to Kairi's concussion and Asuka being in the main event storyline making the titles take a backseat, then they lost to Alexa and Nikki at Wrestlemania 36 in the opener which was a fun match. However, they had a few nice matches before Kairi left with the Nikki/Alexa rematch on Smackdown and their match with Bayley and Sasha on Raw. What pushes them over the edge in terms of being a good team is their 2nd run as apart of Damage CTRL. Again, they look cool af. Secondly, they're currently the champs and have 4 defenses in under two months, which is impressive. Their match with Candice and Indi at Elimination Chamber is one of 4 times in the past 3 years the tag titles got defended on PPV, which is a nice notch on their belt. Hopefully Asuka is okay so their reign can continue."

[8.0] "This team is kinda underrated. It did it's job perfectly, it gave Alexa something to do but with a purpose (unlike other thrown together teams like Charlotte and Asuka) and it got Nikki over on the main roster. You could feel that these two were legit friends, and their chemistry shined through in each segment. They didn't provide any classics, but their matches were always enjoyable. They are also the first 2x women's tag champs, notable accomplishment there. This is the high point of main roster Nikki imo and the better version of face Alexa compared to her 2022 self. Overall, good."

[8.0] "First off: They are obviously not the best in the ring, that much is clear. However, as characters they had a ton of chemistry and a good tag team move set. Both floundered without the other, showing how well they worked together. Peyton wasn't bad in the ring even, she had some great matches, so it wasn't like every match they had was awful. They should've gotten a 2nd run in 2020 as champs, but it wasn't meant to be sadly."

[10.0] "They're iconic as a duo, what can I say? The first ever women's tag team champions, and they have a great resume, but specifically their heel run from 2019-2020 was legendary. The two woman power trip where both were double champions was a great time, and their 2nd tag title run there was very enjoyable. Their matches with Shotzi/Tegan, ShaNia Pain, and The Kabuki Warriors were good. Their face run wasn't as great and it's agreed that they faced The Riott Squad way too much, but they had chemistry by the end. I hope to see them reunite someday."

[8.0] "I will give 8 here from what we've been able to see before they got ruined by main roster. As characters, they are very unique in a division with a lot of plain people (no shade to the others, they just aren't given distinct characters). Their matches showed a lot of chemistry, and they have great chemistry with Katana and Kayden in particular. If they were booked competently, they'd be a 10, unfortunately they aren't."

[4.0] "Not bad, fun odd couple team during their great soap opera storyline. They just barely did anything together as this team was clearly not meant to last."

[2.0] "I thought their match with Katana and Kayden was good, but this team is the worst tag booking for the belts in NXT. Why did they even became champions if they were going to split up literally the next week, all this did was make Katana and Kayden look bad."

[6.0] "In ring, they were great. Their matches with KC2 and Toxic Attraction stand out, as does the triple threat where they became #1 contenders. Even their match with Aliyah and Jessi Kamea wasn't bad... however, nothing else worked here. They shouldn't have even become champs to begin with, KC2 should've. Their characters were an odd couple, but they barely did anything odd couple-y. The most they did was go to a sushi restaurant which made people think Zoey was getting an ignorant white woman gimmick. I'm giving them a solid rating for their ring work, too bad the rest was awful."

[7.0] "This is mostly carried off their work in NXT. As a duo there, they brought a lot of entertainment with the Index storyline. That was their strong suit, as Indi isn't particularly great in the ring, though they had some good matches. (Io and Zoey at GAB and the street fight with Moon and Blackheart comes to mind). Their character work is what made them so good in NXT, horny Indi and annoyed mom Candice was peak... which makes their 2023-now main roster run more baffling. They just have a bunch of 2-3 minutes matches with no character until the past few weeks. Things seem to be turning around with the Candice heel turn, which is why I'm rating a 7 instead of a 6, but the proceeding 7 months of being no character jobbers lowered my opinion on them."

[10.0] "The fact that Tegan was called up instead of Ember, breaking up this team, is so sad. These two could've saved the main roster tag division with how good they were. They had great chemistry in the ring and almost every match they had together was really good. WarGames, their Dusty Cup and Street Fight matches with The Way, their trilogy with Kai/Raquel, the triple threat with Io/Zoey and Dakota/Raquel, and the 8 person mixed tag are all very high quality. That makes up 8/12 of their matches together, which is a great record, and I don't find the other Way matches bad either. These two should've been called up to be tag champs, not the likes of Nikki ASH or Rhea Ripley who clearly shouldn't have been paired together."

[9.0] "Dakota Kai and Raquel Gonzalez were a very good duo in NXT during their run together! They were the first 2x NXT women's tag champs, and had a lot of good moments and matches. Their trilogy against Shotzi and Ember probably showcase the best chemistry between two women's teams in WWE history, their matches with Katana and Kayden were fun DvG battles, and they had other good matches too. (Their last match together against Toxic Attraction, their match against Io and Zoey, and the triple threat with Shotzi/Ember and Io/Zoey). It elevated Raquel and gave Kai more life, sad they didn't get to do more together."

[10.0] "My favorite Tag Team in Wrestling right now, they are so much fun to watch. Every tag team match they do is so fun, the crazy high - flying moves mixed with the insane combos just a very fun team to watch. I can't wait to see them on the Main Roster in the near future and I hope they stay as a tag team because I do see them being tag team champions in the near future either in NXT or on the Main Roster sky is the limit for this team."

[9.0] "Like most of the greatest tag teams, they've had memorable feuds against each other. Together, they form a, very good tag team. The only thing that will prevent them from being recognized as such is that the majority of their relevant work is in the minor leagues, and their popularity never really translated to the main roster."

[8.0] "A rather fun team to watch! Brunzell was always an enjoyable babyface and his energetic style gave Brian Blair the spark he needed to finally start excelling instead of being just another body (albeit one with a strong amateur based mat game). The amateur based stylings of Blair meshed well with Brunzell's abundance of fiery babyface offense. Using quick tags, they made the most they could out of limb work and technical wrestling. Their matches were also quite fast paced for the era/territory. Really great matches with The Hart Foundation & Demolitions and able to bring the best out of The Bolsheviks. Highlight of their career is certainly the Survivor Series 1987 win. The "Bee" on their ring jackets looked completely terrible but I have a soft spot for the yellow stripes. 7.75"

[0.0] "Wow... just wow these girls need to quit the business. Even WOW is too good for them and that's saying something. I encourage you to watch a match of theirs and tell me otherwise."

[8.0] "Like the Creed brother's a lot. They have a presence from their real combat experience. In the ring they are very good for how new they are to the business, and they show charisma. They are still so young that they will improve, and they can be a pillar of WWE tag scene."

[3.0] "Let me start here, that first awesome truth run was.. it was not good I'll say that. They had some chemistry but the storylines they got sucked and it was bad TV. So, in 2024 they got A redo that NOBODY asked for, and.. yeah its been bad still. Some people enjoy this, and they can thats fine. I just.. I don't get it. Maybe its cause I wasn't watching during the first awesome truth run, so I have no nostalgia for it like some do, but yeah awesome truth suck. Sadly they'll probably end up as tag champs as well, which I dread but.. whatever I guess."

[8.0] "These guys rule. Very underrated independent tag team act. Convinced they can put on a good match with anyone."

[9.0] "The Disciples Of The New Church, alongside his manager James Mitchell, had an important role on the early days of the tag team division of TNA, as their feud with America's Most Wanted was the stepping-stone for the tag team division. That feud also put on the map the team of Chris Harris and James Storm and stablish them as the top tag team of the company. Also, they were important backstage helping talent to improve on the ring, as James Storm said on an interview a few years ago. Their debut was impactful, as they destroyed AMW and went against the titles. Their first encounter was a declaration of intentions, as it set the bar for violence and bloody brawls, that were really good. They stablish themselves as the top heels and AMW as the underdogs. Soon, they won the tag team titles on a great encounter. To get it back, AMW had to fight fire with fire and play their game, being even more violent than the heels, which gave them fire and a purpose, to recapture the tag team titles, which they finally did. After the birth of SEX the New Church was disappeared for a couple of weeks, until they return to save their former rivals of an attack of Triple X, turning face and that point. They faced Triple X and Swinger & Diamond on some good matches. After that they teamed with Sandman and Perry Saturn on an 8 man tag team against some members of SEX, which lead to a feud with the Extreme Revolution and some good matches against them. Finally, they were involved on the Hard Ten tournament and on the feud between Raven and the New Church, with a good performance by Slash. After that, Brian Lee left the company, but Slash remained. It's fair to say that they are underrated as a team and that their worked was important to solidified the tag team division, cause until that time it wasn't great. Their gimmick was really cool and their bloody and violent brawls were really memorable."

[5.0] "was seemingly a thrown together team that worked incredibly hard to pick up some fan support. but AEW having no interest in showing them both and there split coming once they finally started picking up speed once they were getting some fans. wouldn't say there matches were anything special as they were mostly made to lose but they made the best out of each time they wrersrtled together and against each other. could be ranked higher of given an opportunity"

[4.0] "Story time: There I was watching Clash of the Champions 7, recording it live on VHS as I sat there transfixed. When this atomic bomb of wrestlecrap dropped I was shell shocked, utterly stunned. Like a fever dream. The match kept going. This was somehow real. I watched a few more times in frozen terror, disturbed to the point of rigidness. No hyperbole. I was trying to sincerely figure out... Why? What? WHY? The second time I saw them was The Skyscrapers BRUTALLY burying them. They even ripped off the masks and Norman played around with one of them I think. That was the first time I knew I was seeing a MEGA BURIAL and the TOTAL DEATH of a gimmick. It's all so bizarre even all of these decades later. There is no sense to be made of this, it's maddeningly purposeless. I was randomly given the number "3.57" because I have no earthly clue How I would even rate this using logic. Jim Herd was a helluva drug."

[8.0] "love them as wrestlers and I feel like they're going to keep getting better and better. they're style is coming at you fast with smart lucha/ some technical wrestling it seems like. they'll put up a good match with anyone lately and know how to do comedy wrestling without making themselves seem inept. for sure a group to keep eyes on"

[7.0] "I know I'm in the minority here, but I had a lot of fun watching these guys. It was the most entertaining that I found Blackman and I love Al Snow. I wish they had a longer run. I completely get why people don't like them, but I thought it was cool. It may have had real legs at a time with a thinner roster."

[10.0] "FTR is absolutely amazing. Their run as the Revival in NXT was fantastic putting on banger matches against DIY & American Alpha. Their Main Roster run was iffy, filled with bad booking and unfortunate injuries but when they made the jump to AEW they have been spectacular putting on amazing matches weekly. Their Trilogys against the Young Bucks and the Briscoes are some of the best tag team matches you will ever see. Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler have solidified themselves as one of the greatest tag teams of all time. Gonna miss them when they retire."

[10.0] "I love this tag team, they should be champions in the near future I cant wait to see them continue to build their stock. These guys were the faces of NXT UK, and now are one of the best tag teams in WWE Today. I really do hope they get the belts in the near future."

[8.0] "I can only echo and reiterate: The timing was perfect, Boy Bands were all the craze and this was a dazzlingly well done parody. The look, name, music, DANCING: Top Tier WCW and we can only thank Jimmy Hart. The ring work kept your glued, the timing and pace was captivating. The selling could be hit or miss but they were almost always a show's highlight. They kind of meant a whole lot of nothing but was fun to watch anyway. I even liked the Tank Abbot connection. I...even...liked: THAT. 8.25"

[6.0] "These two worked as well as they could with a profoundly weak link in Rosey. Love the sketches, love the team work, heck - I even love Rosey's terrible look. Rosey's best stuff by two country miles, The Hurricane can only do favors for a career. Did a thing and ran it's course. I often wear rose tinted glasses with tag teams, especially with ones like this, 5.5."

[5.0] "I think I get why these guys are as popular as they are, at least to some extent, but there's very little about them that appeals to me. The Young Bucks are a tag team that epitomizes the popular in-ring style of the 2010s indie scene - fast paced, stunt-centric matches laden with complex spots and flashy sequences. Basically every fundamental convention of wrestling is kind of absent in most Young Bucks matches, you're not going to see much heat, or anything really resembling a babyface/heel dynamic, and you'll probably see some overt cooperation between opponents. It probably won't feel like there's much animosity between the contestants, or like there's even really a competition happening in the ring. In most cases, the best you can hope to see from this team is a visually engaging exhibition of moves and stunts, and the ability of the audience to suspend their disbelief or engage emotionally with the match is sacrificed for the sake of achieving same. Luckily, that's enough for your average indie show attendee from the 2010s, but I don't think the Young Bucks function well as a fixture of a weekly televised wrestling product. There are a lot of fundamental aspects of wrestling and its presentation that they struggle with. In the right context and with the right opponent, they're definitely capable of a more functional wrestling match, but they've never been able to convince me that they know how to present themselves or how to get themselves over with anybody for whom they haven't already."

[2.0] "There are things about late '03 into early '04 WWE that fall flat and flirt with fast forwarding/channel change heat. These things make it hard to want to binge watch decades later. Basham Brothers fit that bill. It's not the worst but have you ever tried eating a VERY stake cracker, meanwhile there's a whole unopened box only an arm's length away? Why? Just open the new box. Just watch a different tag team. If I rank a tag team low, that means they must EXTREMELY stink, please understand this. 1.5"

[8.0] "Their work in Crockett is damn impressive, yes they were an "answer" to the Road Warriors but at the time please remember, The Barbarian was in JCP long before Animal and The Warlord didn't quite look like Hawk just yet. The enhancement matches are jaw dropping; the displays of power, teamwork and athleticism are profound for the time and always deliver. The bench press event/angle with The Legion of Doom was a hit, the matches following were tooth n nail & went ALL out. Then the trip to New York (WWF). Now a full fledged Road Warrior rip off, the pair went onto to feud with Demolition but the chemistry just wasn't there. The Barbarian did ok but The Warlord seemed out of place on top of limited. Even youngsters could see they didn't have "it" when there and the bell to bell stuff sometimes suffered. Those are harsh words but there are decent matches to be found there, against The Rockers especially. I have an odd confession, The Super Assassins worked for me. So, maybe disregard anything I say about anyone ever. Good is good, bad is a bit bold. 7.75"

[10.0] "I'm a total mark for this team and it SUCKS that they were not given a mega push. Love this. Love the look, love the name, love the promos, love the dance, love the MULTIPLE team/double maneuvers. Tiger Conway Jr's best stuff (and even then he's kind of not that good at any of it but) Shaska is on FIRE here. The flaw is brutal, there's almost nothing to relive. What's there to relive puts a mile wide grin on me every time."
