This isn't really for what these two men, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall, did as champions but what they did for the industry as a whole. Hall and Nash left Vinnie Mac's company and went to the competition as two rogue individuals coming through the crowd and causing mayhem on Ted Turner tv. They soon teamed with Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan and the New World Order (nWo) began. They spearheaded one of the most controversial, popular, and memorable factions ever in pro wrestling. Oh, they won 6 championships together, just in case you needed more information.
7. New Age Outlaws
Road Dogg Jesse James and Billy Gunn were the controversial tag team WWE gave us when it was still WWF and in its Attitude Era. Everyone was repeating their catchphrases and with HHH, Shawn Michaels, X-Pac, and Chyna, Degeneration X ruled the E. DX was WWE's answer to the nWo and green and black was all over the place. The two were so accomplished as a team that it seems that when they are doing their singles thing, neither men are truly the same (as seen recently in TNA or even the whole Billy & Chuck angle).
8. Brothers of Destruction
Kane busted on the scene tearing down a steel cage to get to his "brother" The Undertaker. Seperately, these two were the the most feared and dominating men in the late-90's, early 21st century. They were also the only team to hold both the WWF and WCW tag belts simultaneously when they won the WCW straps 8/9/01 on Smackdown!.
9. Paul London and Brian Kendrick
Here's proof of quality over quantity. They didn't win the belts as much as the other teams on this list (only twice) but it's what they did with the WWE Tag Team Championships that got them here. They held the straps for 11 months before losing it to Deuce 'n Domino. The energetic, high-flyers took on all comers on Smackdown! and delighted those who watched.
10. MnM
No, I don't mean Mercury, Nitro, and Melina. This is John Morrison and The Miz. The Shaman of Sexy and the Chick Magnet held the WWE belts for 8 months on Smackdown! and ECW. Why make this list? Even though Morrison was a part of the original MNM and also an ECW champion, this title run elevated both men to greater levels. We saw drastic improvements especially from the Miz in the ring. Their webshows, "The Dirt Sheet" are the most viewed videos on WWE.com. "In life, there are winners and there are losers." These two are definitely winners, be jealous.
Honorable Mention:
1. LAX- Hernandez and Homicide are fan favorites in TNA and two talented individuals. Homicide was ROH champion at a time and it's always a treat when the big man, Hernandez flies.
2. MCMG- Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelly and Chris Sabin) are exciting young men who just have yet to be given the ball in TNA. In the ring, the two men do not disappoint but apparently they rub certain people the wrong way where it counts.
