Greatest WWE Tag Team Champions Finals, Day 3

[RI Richmark]

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.

Now the set up for the finals are a little different. This will be done tournament style. The seeding are determined by the number of days a team spends as champions.

In our last match, Martel walked out on Santana because Tito kept him up last night with his snoring (Martel needs his beauty sleep or he will never be a model.) Santana tried to fight alone but Christian put an end to that with an Unprettier.

The good news for E & C is they advanced to the next round. The bad news is who's waiting for them.

Edge & Christian

[the5thhorseman]

Demolition was more dominant but in a different era. Im going with Edge and Christian but Demolition beats most teams(i guess thats why this is the finals)

[Mister Pigwell]

Demolition by a country mile.

[Crappler El 0 M]

Demolition. They have the most combined days as champions and the longest single reign. Pretty awesome.

[Gus Richlen Was Wrong]

Edge and Christian

They were awesome in every way.
And they had tougher division imho.

[Bake Or Die]

Demolition

And they had tougher division imho

I guess the whole point is debate, so I will debate this...

The tag team division during Demolition's Tenure:
Hart Foundation, Dream Team, British Bulldogs, Strike Force, Rockers, Brain Busters, Killer Bees, Fabulous Rougeaus, Twin Towers, Powers of Pain, Orient Express, Legion of Doom...

The tag team division during Edge and Christian:
Dudley Boys, APA, Hardys, Too Cool, ummm...T and A, Public Enemy for a couple weeks, the Holly Cousins, the Headbangers for a a brief reuniting, umm...Lo 'Down, the Rock and Sock Connection, the Right to Censor, maybe a bit of New Age Outlaws....

I personally think the first group of teams was better, but I won't deny that the tag division was pretty good during E and C.

[saneiac]

I'm not sure the Bulldogs were still around when Demolition started, but I'm pretty sure The Islanders were. Power & Glory. The Colossal Connection.

Also, Public Enemy lasted a couple weeks?

Your point is made, though, and I agree with it.

[OB91]

I've gotta give it to E&C.

Actually, the Bulldogs and Demolition were around during the same period during 1987 and 1988. They faced off against each other in two tag team Survivor Series matches. I believe Public Enemy might have lasted a month, but it was certainly not a long tenure in WWE.
