Keep in mind, I was watching live in 92, and even then it was wild.
So much happens and it's always confusing.
I think it boils down to the two Money Inc title switches,not on ppv (one phantom?)
The face turn of 2 Jimmy Hart teams
The fact that Lod get revenge on money Inc at summerslam randomly and then disappear...
Lod Beverlies not really televised
So much confusion always..like oh the Nasties were still heels?
The Lod money Inc and Natural Disaster switches are always a blur and mixed up...

Money Inc getting together in January was weird because it wasn't like it had been a thing at all. All the build was towards LOD vs the Natural Disasters. And then suddenly Jimmy Hart turned on his team and got together with IRS and The Million Dollar Man and now they are tag team champions out of no where.

Clarifying a few things:
- IRS and DiBiase had teamed up a few times on TV, unnamed, in the previous few months. I remember a Prime Time win over the Bushwhackers and I think they had at least one other match as well (Slaughter/Duggan, maybe? Which was the originally booked tag title match for WM8).
- The Disasters title win was taped for Coliseum Video, leading to the odd experience of watching 1992 wrestling from around the world in order and suddenly hearing Jim Ross call a WWF match.
- The Nasties finalized their babyface turn before Money Inc. regaining the belts, attacking them when they realized that despite being #1 contenders (by virtue of their win over Savage & Warrior) Jimmy Hart had double-crossed them. They beat up Money Inc. before the match and then came back to beat up Jimmy afterward. I always thought this was good booking, using one angle (Savage and Warrior's mistrust over their SummerSlam match and Mr. Perfect) to dovetail into another revolving around who gets the next tag title shot.

Edit: I forgot about the tag title switch being on a house show. That was basically an emergency due to Hawk getting suspended and the 3-week gap nature of TV tapings at the time.

Something you notice about the tag team scene circa 1988-1993ish, they always had either 6 or 8 teams, evenly face and heel and when one team would leave a new one came in, if one turned heel/face then they would always replenish and restore the balance. It was really well worked so the division worked like clock work

1992 was definitely a crazy time period with tag teams, 1993 and beyond also as opposed to the last few years that had been pretty solid with teams from about 1986-1991. The titles also didn't change hands too frequently over the previous years while the next few years changed every few months and often saw random, makeshift teams or single stars together becoming tag teams or champs. 1995 and 1996 was also strange as Smoking Gunns became like the top tag team even though 1993 and 1994 they were barely featured on anything.

1992 is one of my favorite years in wrestling regarding WCW and WWF anyway.
Money Inc. are the tag champs all year, for the most part. The Natural Disasters, I thought, played a fine role in the babyface department. Quake was a favorite of mine. Beverly Brothers were solid in the ring, but their feud with LOD killed them off quickly.
Headshrinkers come in late and add some needed flare to the division. All things considered, they've had weaker years for tag team division, most notably off the top of my head, 1994 through 1996.

This is true. I once hung out with Marty Jannetty at a Brooklyn bar after a MSG house show earlier in the evening. He did not know at the time that he and 1-2-3 Kid would be the next tag champs soon thereafter.

I wanna say they had a match in a early Raw before the Beefcake angle started where the Beverly's worked as faces. It may have post WM IX now that I think of it.

How dare you forget High Energy! I think High Energy were 93. Don't remember then in 92...although there's a good chance I may be mistaken! I think the extreme blast of neon damaged my retinas and brain.

Money Inc was always weird because they did NOT need Jimmy Hart.
Ever. At all. Whatsoever.
Disasters AND Nastys both turning face did nothing for them at all. Within a year of turning face Quake and Tugboat were pretty much done in the WWE, and within 6 months of their turn the Nastys were both gone too.
