Bad Company in the AWA. I know they shouldn't be considered underrated by AWA fans but overall they get overlooked because of the time period they were on top. Their WWF run was lackluster. The Destruction crew is mentioned above and I agree with this. Mike Enos threw some babyface(might have been Ricky Rice) thru the windshield of a car near ringside(giveaway car I think). then when they were going to pull the guy out and attend to him they attacked again and were fiegning using a pickaxe. I was scarred s***less watching that. They got so much heat and the babyface got his sympathy. Well done. Verne wasn't on TV by this juncture of AWA so they really got to try and carry the show. Good call on Badd Company. I think the segment was a car lifting contest between Bloom and Ken Patera. Patera looked like he was gonna win so Enos ran out and they beat up Patera bad. I know Johnny Valiant was their manager. Thanx for the assist Kash. It has been literally more than 20 years since I saw that |

The New Foundation. Owen and The Anvil worked really well not sure why they didnt last for even a little while.

The New Foundation. Owen and The Anvil worked really well not sure why they didnt last for even a little while. Anvil's drug issues and him not paying Vince back money that was loaned to him to pay some legal fees over a bogus assault charge. |

Always thought the Killer Bees were a fun team to watch, they just lacked the personality to really get over.
Though the crowds really popped for their non-title match win over the Hart Foundation.
Always thought their mask bit was a disguised shot at the fans by Vince. Here it is, a heel move if there ever was one, but the fans love it because Vince tells them they love it.

The Head Bangers. I always felt they could've been what the Hardy Boys eventually became in the late 90's/early 2000's if the WWF/E would've gotten behind them more.

Kronik-late 90's WCW. underused, despite being over. Ironically, that may have been the most "over" those two guys(Bryan Adams, Bryan Clarke) ever were in their careers. Too bad WCW died around them.

...kinda surprised to see any love for Furnas and LaFon at all, though. Then again, I never saw them in Japan or ECW. Their Japanese work is really good. Very solid team. I noticed someone mentioned MNM, I agree completely. Big fan of theirs, they are probably the last WWE tag team I was really into. Wish they would reunite at some point, even if for one match. One team I hardly ever hear praise for is the combination of Big Poppa Pump and Maple Leaf Muscle Petey Williams. It seemed like such a great idea to me as each played to the other's weaknesses. Petey was always much better in the ring than he was on the mic, and Steiner was hilarious on the mic but limited (understandably) by wear and tear in the ring. Steiner would handle the promos for the most part but Petey would still play off of him well. Then, in matches, Petey would do a majority of the wrestling and Scott could get the tag and come in to suplex everyone inside out. It just seemed a perfect way to use both, and was a good mix of fun matches and entertaining promos. |

The New Foundation. Owen and The Anvil worked really well not sure why they didnt last for even a little while. That's who I was going to say. I loved the New Foundation, I've always had a soft spot for the Anvil, and of course everyone loves Owen Hart. I always wanted to see the New Foundation win the Tag Team titles, then form an awesome, all-champions Survivor Series team with World champion Bret Hart and Intercontinental champion Davey Boy Smith. EDIT: Also, I thought Sting and Road Warrior Hawk made a cool duo the few times they teamed in WCW; I've also always been a fan of the Maxx Payne/Cactus Jack team. (although, to be honest, I thought Kevin Sullivan/Cactus Jack was a badass pairing, too.) |

They didn't tag together for a long period of time but DDP and Kanyon were one of the better tag teams I ever remember seeing. They just flowed in the ring, did a ton of cool double team moves, and they would both just seem to pull moves out of nowhere that I had never seen before.
Another one that didn't last very long but that I thought was great was Ron Simmons and Eddie Gilbert. I've always been a sucker for tag teams that have a high flyer and a powerman and Gilbert and Simmons fit the bill to a tee.
I also marked like crazy for Vader and Bigelow as a tag team.

Rico & Haas. So much potential.
The Chavos (Jr and Classic) - this and the above team were the only bright spots during the last period I really regularly watched wrestling.
Wild Bill Irwin & Bad Leroy Brown (UWF) - I dunno why, but I loved this duo back then.

Wild Bill Irwin & Bad Leroy Brown (UWF) - I dunno why, but I loved this duo back then. Rico and Haas were a lot of fun. I actually really enjoyed Billy and Chuck, angle or otherwise. Both of them were/are men who tend to excel in tag teams rather than singles work, were both very agile for their size, and had some very nice moves. |
