Match #13 - Hardy Boyz v Twin Towers

Match #14 - Harlem Heat v US Express (Mike Rotunda & Barry Windham)

Match #15 - Vitamin C v Heavenly Bodies

Match #16 - The Russians (Ivan/Nikita/Kruschev) v The World's Greatest Tag Team

Hardy Boys

Harlem Heat

Heavenly Bodies

Koloffs (though it probably should have been Krusher instead of Nikita but who cares since Ivan is good enough to carry a decent heel team and heel Nikita is under rated)

 

Tim

I think I'm going to readjust that to include the Russians as a stable since they had interchangeable partners much of the time.

Hardy Boyz

 

Harlem Heat

 

Heavenly Bodies

 

Russians

Match #13 - Hardy Boyz v Twin Towers

 

Hardy Boyz... I don't think the Twin Towers ever had a good match unless the Rockers were involved in it.

 

 

Match #14 - Harlem Heat v US Express (Mike Rotunda & Barry Windham)

 

Harlem Heat. US Express had a short shelf-life because Windham flipped out due to the WWE road schedule.

 

 

Match #15 - Vitamin C v Heavenly Bodies

 

The Heavenly Bodies, as they were THE heels for Smokey Mountain for much of its run and had great matches against the Rock And Roll Express and the Thrillseekers (Jericho and Lance Storm).

 

 

Match #16 - The Russians (Ivan/Nikita/Kruschev) v The World's Greatest Tag Team

 

World's Greatest Tag Team. They had MANY great matches during their run as a team, while the only great Russians match I can think of was the Rock And Roll Express cage match at Starrcade 1985.

Hardy Boyz

 

The team that looked like human q-tips versus the team that looked like giant pieces of cholesterol in human form.

 

US Express (Mike Rotunda & Barry Windham)

 

Stevie Ray is bad enough that teaming with Kenta Kobashi would have seen me still vote for Rotunda and Windham. Stevie, you SUCKAH BRUDDA.

 

Heavenly Bodies

 

Vitamin C? Since when did Brian Gewirtz post here?

 

The Russians (Ivan/Nikita/Kruschev)

 

I'd have called them The Commie Connection.

Match #13 - Hardy Boyz v Twin Towers

 

--- Hardy Boyz/ I don't like thir style or matches but I like the Twin Towers even less.

 

Match #14 - Harlem Heat v US Express (Mike Rotunda & Barry Windham)

 

--- Man, this one is hard for me but I think Windham and Rotunda are far better as a whole and I think the old WWF tv will prove me right. Please, show me a good Harlem Heat amtch... anywhere!!!!

 

Match #15 - Vitamin C v Heavenly Bodies

 

--- I really don't feel comfortable voting against the Heavenly Bodies since I haven't seen enough of their work. I will abstain on this one.

 

Match #16 - The Russians (Ivan/Nikita/Kruschev) v The World's Greatest Tag Team

 

--- Man, I don't like this matchup because I think that the Russians were so much better at getting heat and generating real emotions since they were knee deep in the Cold War. I think Haas and Benjamin had great potential and had a few standout matches. Still, I have to go with the Russians for historical value.
