One of my favorite tag teams in WCW. Did you enjoy Harlem Heat?

Actually, I've always found them to be quite overrated. Not to say they're bad but they seem to make a lot of "Best Tag Teams Ever" lists and I think that's pretty undeserved.
It's a shame Stevie Ray retired though, he was a good colour guy and decent in the ring. Good size as well.

Really solid tag team. I don't think that they're one of the best, but they're definitely really good. I remember seeing them in Global as the Ebony Experience back when Global was loaded with talent before the big time started snatching them all up.

I thought they were cool when I was a kid although it might just have been their music as I can't remember any of their matches.

They had the best entrance music even though it was from a kids in the hall skit

Great theme, and Booker T was great. Stevie Ray was pretty decent, but it really was kind of clear who the better wrestler was. Not even a knock on him, really.

I liked them, I randomly watched a Harlem Heat vs Nasty Boys match earlier. I love Sherri, but for some reason I thought the pairing never matched. They kind of got lost in the shuffle in the end before Booker went solo. Then again, the tag division (along with everything else) got lost in the shuffle due to the nWo

John Cena owes them a lot for the whole "pumped up promo into the camera while walking down the aisle as your music plays".
Great attires, fun double teams moves and the best theme song in wrestling.

I liked Harlem Heat. I enjoyed both Stevie Ray's and Booker T's speeches at the Hall of Fame this year.

Harlem Heat was my jam, they were a big part of me getting into WCW when I was around 9-10 years old. They had awesome music, matching flaming jumpsuits, breathe right strips, double team moves and spinny kicks. What more could a young'n need?

I liked them but I really don't see them as a best tag team ever candidate like others do also Booker definitely carried the team.

I liked them. They were my favorite tag team in WCW, and involved in the first WCW match I ever saw.

Stevie Ray is a wrestling icon. Someone needs to use the slapjack as their signature weapon.

Solid tag team to build a division around, they had a lot of good matches against the Nasty Boys and the Blue Bloods. The best tag team in a year of transition in 1995. I didn't much care for the Col. Parker/Sister Sherri marriage angle getting involved.

One of my favorite tag teams in WCW. Did you enjoy Harlem Heat? This really needs to be in the form of a poll with "YES YES YES" and "NO NO NO" as choices.

Good-to-great tag team. Booker T may have been a little better than Stevie Ray, but the difference was slight. They both played their roles well. Stevie with the slapjack was terrific, plus he had a great look. Booker T was more versatile, and obviously had more singles potential.
I havent made a list of Top all-time Tag Teams, but i'd guess they'd be somewhere between 10-20. Very entertaining.
