With the recent Wikipedia Royal Rumble, and with inspiration from another forum, I am wondering if this will work here. So I'm going to try it out and see how it goes.
Just note that you might see some very strange pairings, more then likely people you don't know, as I'm going by whatever shows up by a random search of millions of articles. I'll try not to have anybody that breaks any rules though, within the political/religion area, so I'll be sure to be careful as to who I put in here.
So with that said, the rules are simple:
Two teams enter to start off the match.
Each match will last 24 hours, and you the FAN's, will vote for which team you'd like to move on.
The winners stay, the losers go, and another team of two will enter the match.
If a team win 3 matches in a row, they are automatically taken into the Final Battle. (NOTE: For the first match, you'll also vote for how many matches a team should win to become a part of the Final Battle.)
This process continues until 10 teams are part of the Final Battle, and the last team standing, is declared the first ever FAN Random Wikipedia Tag Team Champions!
Here are the winners from the last round:

"Freak Me" is an R&B ballad recorded by Atlanta, Georgia-based vocal quintet Silk in 1992. It was co-written and co-produced by Keith Sweat, for whom Silk was a touring opening act. Sweat also performed this on his 2003 Live Album.
The song was released as the second single from Silk's album Lose Control after "Happy Days." "Freak Me" was the group's highest charting hit, reaching number-one on both the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks, and the U.S. Hot R&B Singles chart for seven weeks.
There was two versions of the music video for "Freak Me". The first version was directed by Bronwen Hughes, while the second version was directed by Lionel C. Martin. The latter became the best known video of the two.
In 1998 the song was covered by British boy band Another Level.
The group performed the song on The Mo'Nique Show July 6, 2010.
In 2008 song was covered again, but this time with hip-hop producers Play-N-Skillz including R&B singer & former 112 member Slim.
