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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MNM was in control for most of the match but every time they looked like they were about to win the superheroes would fight back. Eventually MNM went to the floor to regroup but The Hurricane dove off the top rope onto the duo. But Rosey decided to fly too and dove on the others knocking everyone out. The match ended in a double count out and both teams are eliminated.
Today's match is a battle of cowboys vs greasers.
