A couple of times in the past few years I held a contest to determine the greatest WWE Tag Team Champions of all time and I've decided to bring it back again.
But there are a few changes this time. The biggest is that rather than starting from the beginning and end of the list of champions and working our way towards to the middle, this is an actual 64 team tournament featuring teams that held either the WWE or World Tag Team Titles. The 64 teams with the longest combined days as champions have been entered and seeded. Sadly, this means some favorites like The Brain Busters, The Steiner Brothers, DX, and current champs Tyson Kidd & Cesaro did not qualify but I had to draw the line somewhere.
Here's how the tournament works. Everyday I'll present a match-up between two teams. You pick the team you think is better. The team with the most votes advance to the next round.

Our last match turned out to be an all out brawl. Late in the match The Connection took control as Andre held Sika for Haku's Savate Kick but Sika moved and Andre was knocked out of the ring. Haku and Bobby Heenan desperately tried to lift unconscious Andre back into the ring but The Giant was to heavy and was counted out.
