The first round of the tag team tournament is over, and 16 tag teams have already been eliminated, including The Rockers, The Steiner Brothers, The Nasty Boyz and The Brainbusters.
For the next round, the 16 teams that have advanced will clash on to get closer to being the best tag team in wrestling history.
Let the games begin.
The Hardy Boyz vs. The Hart Foundation
In the first round, The Hardy Boyz picked up a hard fought win against The Rockers by a 9-5 vote. The Hardy Boyz are six-time tag team champions with the WWE and are most know for their daredevil attitudes. Their classic matches with the Dudley Boyz and Edge and Christian will remain in the fan's minds forever.
The Hart Foundation easily passed in the first round with a 14-0 vote over The Hart Dynasty. They became WWE Tag Teams champions on two occasions first beating the British Bulldogs and later Demolition. With their devastating finishing maneuver, the Hart Attack, Bret Hart and Jim Neidhart were a force in the WWE.
Who wins?
Harlem Heat vs. LAX
Harlem Heat got through the first round against The Steiner Brothers with a 9-5 vote. Although they never evolved as a tag team outside of the WCW organization, Booker T. and Stevie Ray won the WCW tag team titles for a record 10 times. They are without a doubt the most dominating tag team in WCW history.
Homicide and Hernandez proved to be a better tag team then Shad and JTG when they eliminated them by a 13-1 vote in the first round. They are two time NWA tag team champions and won the TNA tag titles once. Their tactics have led them to many victories against some of TNA's best teams.
Who wins this match?
London and Kendrick vs Motor City Machineguns
London and Kendrick dominated round 1 with a 11-3 win over Lethal Consequences. Paul and Brian were an exciting young tag team that captured the World tag team titles and WWE tag team titles. They are in fact the longest-reigning WWE tag team champions since the titles were created in 2002. Their reign lasted 331 days.
The Motor City Machineguns wiped the floor with the Colons in round 1 with a 14-0 vote. Although they have never won the TNA tag titles, Sabin and Shelley remain one of the most entertaining tag teams in any organization. They may one day capture gold in TNA.
Which team advances?
The British Bulldogs vs. Legacy
The Bulldogs destroyed their fellow Englishmen, The British Invasion with a clean sweep in the first round. The Bulldogs captured the World tag team titles only once but have proven time and time again that they were one of the best tag teams out there in the 80's.
The team won the titles at Wrestlemania 2 after one year of feuding with the champions, Brutus Beefcake and Greg Valentine.
Although still young, Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase dominated La Resistance in round 1 with a 14-0 vote. Legacy's Rhodes and DiBiase are two-time World tag team champions and have shown in recent weeks that they could hold a candle to Shawn Michaels and Triple H and that's impressive.
