I've decided to start a contest to determine the greatest WWE Tag Team champions of all time. All WWF, WWE, World and Unified Champions are eligible.
Here's how the contest works. Each day you will vote which of 2 teams is better. The winning team advances to the next day and faces a new team. The losing team is eliminated. If a team wins 7 matches in a row they automatically advance to the finals. The last team left standing is the winner.
In our last match, The Hardy's crisp double team tactics overwhelmed Putski & Santana, with Matt pinning Ivan after the Twist of Fate. But their next opponents may be a bit tougher. Not only are they the third Hall of Fame Tag Team, but they are also the patriarchs of one of wrestling's greatest families.
