watching impact made me think that this would be a very good poll. These 3 teams are arguably the most recognizable tag teams of the 90's. Which was the best, and why?

It's a crime if the Steiner Brothers don't run away with this one. Scott Steiner in his prime was legitimately more talented then the NAO and every single Dudley put together. Rick's not bad either.

I voted the New Age Outlaws. It's less about in-ring skill and more about the fact that they entertianed me the most.

The Steiners with out a doubt. Rick was a proven singles competitor when he and Scotty started teaming together. By '92 Scotty was arguable the best in WCW if not wrestling and Rick was a solid midcarder.
Together, they are the best team in recent memory.

The fact that VKM has any votes makes my stomach turn a bit. Just goes to show you how powerful a couple catch phrases can be. Steiners get my vote, because the Dudley's have been terrible ever since they left ECW. Had ECW stayed in business, or had they been able to bring their real stuff to WWE instead of being watered down, they would get my vote.

Steiners in a mile. NAO was good when I was younger but as I get older, I realise how much Rockabilly and the Roadie sucked. Never got into the Dudleys. Sure they can cuss but so can Rene Dupree. Steiners were just incredible in the early to mid 90's. Just watch some of those New Japan matches.

The NAO define the Attitude Era pretty well....if you have enough catch phrases you are at the top.
The Steiners are probably second to only L.O.D., IMO.

Definitely the Steiners. They're the best wrestlers and the best talkers on the list, IMO, so they take this easily.

One Steiner is better than those other tag teams.

The Steiner Brothers are legendary. I think a better debate would be trying to decide who was better: The Road Warriors/L.O.D. or The Steiner Brothers?

The Steiner Brothers are legendary. I think a better debate would be trying to decide who was better: The Road Warriors/L.O.D. or The Steiner Brothers? Steiners were far more versatile. Out of the list, the Steiners easily win. They could wrestle, brawl, and had great tag team moves. Just watching their matches in the WWF shows how far beyond most of the other teams they were. They did moves that no one in a WWF audience had ever seen before and brought a physicality that only the Road Warriors could rival at the time in the U.S. |

Steiners are the best, hands down. Road Warriors/LOD were awesome, and very influential, but in a bad way. Think of all the crappy LOD ripoffs over the years (Demolition, Powers of Pain, The Terminators, Master Blasters), and think of all the good ways that the Steiners influenced in-ring work.
From 1991-1993, Scotty Steiner was arguably the most exciting heavyweight wrestler in the world. Just look at his moves...he singlehandedly popularized the Frankensteiner, Tilt-A-Whirl Backbreaker, and Release Overhead Suplex in America. Plus, he invented incredibly dangerous exciting moves like the Steiner Screwdriver, and the Fallaway Slam Moonsault (don't think that's the name, but that's what it was. It's on YouTube somewhere). Scott Steiner was innovative, and seemed to love trying out cool looking spots.
He influenced cruiserweight guys, and guys like Kurt Angle. Scott was clearly a future world WCW champ before getting in trouble in 1992, quitting, and going to the WWF, Japan, and ECW....then back when Nitro started.
And Rick Steiner was once neck-and-neck with Sting in 1988 as to who NWA's new babyface would be heading into the 1990s. Rick was no slouch when he was in shape, and the guy's always been over. The Steiners are the best ever. Better than The Road Warriors, Dudleys, NAO, Hart Foundation, The Rockers, The British Bulldogs, Patterson & Stevens, Flair & Valentine, The Briscos, and The Briscoes. After 1998, neither Steiner was the same, because Scott was into being the next Superstar Graham, and Rick was broken down. But when they were on, they were money. And they still show flashes of coolness, as evidenced by last night's Impact "shoot" on the Dudleys, and Voodoo Kin Mafia.
Plus, The Steiners originally came out to "Welcome to the Jungle" when that song was actually out in current pop culture. Awesome. Maybe they're just the best tag team of my childhood, but hell, they'd be even cooler if they would've debuted in today's wrestling, esp. in a place like ROH, NOAH, maybe even TNA.

I love the Steiners, but have they made a match famous like the Dudleyz?
I'll give the Dudleyz the nod for being part of the tag team boom of late 90s- Early 2000s.
TLC, anyone? Countless Table Matches?
