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 champsTyson Kidd & Cesaro The New Day 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.

In our last match, LOD started quick jumping The Valiants at the bell. The Valiants took control when Jimmy hit Hawk after a low blow. The Valiants stayed in control for a while but Jimmy missed a elbow drop off the top rope and Animal got the hot tag. Animal pinned Johnny after the Doomsday Device.
Tonight we start off the Third Round with another classic match of power vs. speed
