Posted April 1, 20169 yr comment_5736692 I am a giant fan of tag wrestling so I was pondering the best tag team names ever. What do you think? Tops for me would be Holy Demon Army, Miracle Violence Connection, Raging and Ravishing, Midnight Express (from the darkside), and The New Breed.
April 1, 20169 yr comment_5736695 The Road Warriors The Bruise Brothers The Moondogs The Hollywood Blondes Harlem Heat
April 1, 20169 yr comment_5736703 One of my friends,when we discuss this, will always refer to the shortlived team of the Godfather and Val Venis: Supply & Demand As for my favourite team names: Powers of Pain (it doesn't make much sense, but it SOUNDS terrifying) The Faces of Fear Calamari Catch Kings
April 1, 20169 yr comment_5736704 I've grown to hate the trend of coming up with a name to "merge" two singles guys. Rated RKO, for example, I thought was an awful name. But with that said, I thought Beer Money is the exception and was a tremendous name. Hollywood Blondes, Demolition, and both Road Warriors and Legion of Doom are cool as fuck names. Also, Power and Glory~!
April 1, 20169 yr comment_5736715 I love the Moondog name... I don't understand it but I love it. Like didn't that name come originally from Moondog Mayne being some sort of hippy weirdo? How did it become Bayou Monsters?
April 1, 20169 yr comment_5736732 I'd have to put the Brainbusters at the top of the list. Road Warriors, Powers of Pain... I always like the Twin Towers vs Skyscrapers debate.
April 1, 20169 yr comment_5736733 Here's one thats rarely brought up, Vader and Sid as The Masters of the Powerbomb. I dont know, i just always found it cool, if a tad generic.
April 1, 20169 yr comment_5736736 Vicious and Delicious wins this at a canter. That name is perfect in just about every single way.
April 1, 20169 yr comment_5736759 Vicious and Delicious wins this at a canter. That name is perfect in just about every single way. Always loved that name. Another of my favourites: The Black 'n' Blue Express--Ken Patera & Bobby Duncum.
April 1, 20169 yr comment_5736834 Not a team, but I love the name: The Alliance To End Hulkamania. It just sounded so official, like, you could imagine them getting together, electing a treasurer, having someone keep minutes, maybe even hosting a fundraiser...Honestly, the more I think about it, the more I think WCW dropped by the ball by not having hour-long episodes devoted to covering their meetings C-SPAN style.
April 2, 20169 yr comment_5736871 I'm a sucker for names with "Connection" in them. East-West Connection, Can-Am Connection ("I guess Martel's just the can now!!"), Colossal Connection.
April 2, 20169 yr comment_5736943 Another vote for Vicious and Delicious Dream Orca Murder Inc. Tekno Team 2000
April 4, 20169 yr comment_5738057 I love the Moondog name... I don't understand it but I love it. Like didn't that name come originally from Moondog Mayne being some sort of hippy weirdo? How did it become Bayou Monsters? I always thought that must have been the case, especially because Mayne was visually reminiscent of the Moondog beloved of freaks and outsiders everywhere.
April 4, 20169 yr comment_5738058 Dangan Yankees (no idea what it actually means, but it sounds badass)The Yukon LumberjacksSamoan SWAT TeamJumping Bomb AngelsRhythm and BluesDoom (so simple, yet so menacing)Special K was funny at the time, but only because I was taking a lot of it myself.
April 4, 20169 yr comment_5738114 I always enjoyed Minnesota Home Wrecking Crew as a take-off. Also, Holy Demon Army and Miracle Violence Connection as mentioned before. The Assassins also sounded menacing.
April 4, 20169 yr comment_5738115 The Blackjacks The Rock 'n Roll Express (surprised this hasn't been mentioned) The Public Enemy
April 4, 20169 yr comment_5738123 The Blackjacks The Rock 'n Roll Express (surprised this hasn't been mentioned) The Public Enemy As much as I adore RnR Express, I always felt the name was incredibly corny. I mean, I know some of the ones I have mentioned are hardly cool, and its wrestling after all, so calling something out for being corny is a pretty preposterous notion in and of itself, but the name and the gimmick always reminded me of an embarrassing Dad taking his teenage son to his first gig and declaring that he's "rock n rollin' baby!" at a Bauhaus gig or some shit. Or Cliff Richard imploring people to "move it and a groove it" in comparison to Jerry Lee Lewis smashing up your medicine cabinet and setting himself on fire accidentally after downing the bleach from under your sink. Admittedly, growing up in inner city northern England, there may have been something lost in cultural translation, because as I said, its not like they weren't obscenely over. Just always kind of cringed at the name, whereas something equally silly like Miracle Violence Connection or Minnesota Wrecking Crew just didn't seem quite as risible in context...
April 4, 20169 yr comment_5738124 Nothing that hasn't been said, but for me: Road Warriors Miracle Violence Connection Holy Demon Army Motor City Machine Guns The Hollywood Blonds
