The greatest wrestling tag teams of all-time

both The Andersons, and Blanchard, have held World Tag-Team championships in the NWA during their time spent with The Four Horsemen. Back in the late 80's, they were the biggest heel faction in the world, and are remembered mainly for that era, although the Horsemen name actually ran all the way into the WCW up until 1999 with different members along the way.

The Original Horsemen however, remain the best known of the incarnations, and are regarded as possibly the greatest faction of all time, not to mention, their mention and recognition in my list of the greatest professional wrestling Tag-Teams.

Number Five: The Midnight Express - Another legendary tag-team, which over the years had many members, the two most recognizable and famous incarnations being Dennis Condrey and Bobby Eaton, and Stan Lane and Bobby Eaton. The Midnight Express are perhaps remembered mostly for their legendary feud with The Rock 'N' Roll Express, which was partly responsible for today's modern day tag-team divisions. 'Beautiful' Bobby Eaton himself is considered one of the founding fathers of modern day tag-team wrestling for his tenure in the Midnight Express. The two incarnations mentioned above are the most successful, and the most remembered, setting the paving stones of each of the participant's careers across the world, but particularly in the National Wrestling Alliance.

Number Six: Harlem Heat A more modern day Tag-Team consisting of real-life brothers Booker T And Stevie Ray.

They went on to become ten time WCW World Tag-Team Champions and sealing their fate as one of the greatest tag-teams to enter the sport in many years, winning the titles a record Ten times, the most in the history of WCW. During their time spent in the company, they engaged in several memorable matches and feuds with wrestlers' such as Sting & Lex Luger, The Steiner Brothers and The Road Warriors, among many more. Harlem Heat eventually split in 1999 with Stevie Ray pending retirement, and Booker T being built up for a main event singles role. However, their legacy lived on as one of WCW's best and brightest tag teams of the 90's, which earns their place on my list of Wrestling's greatest tag-teams.

Number Seven: The Hart Foundation The Hart Foundation, much like the afore mentioned Four Horsemen, were not only a tag-team, but later on in their tenure, a Faction. The
