Welcome to the third Edition of TOP 10 LIST. This week we examine the once flourishing and exciting turned sour and boring—Tag Team Division. Because today's tag team division in both WWE and TNA are a sad sight and a slap in the face of the great tag teams of yesterday, this list isn't only current teams but past also.

Yes this is my opinion, as it should be, so there's no reason to get fussy just because you don't agree. This also doesn't include teams that tagged together on too few occasions, such as Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage or Ric Flair and Razor Ramon. Anyway, lets get to it..

15-11:
15) Von Erichs
14) Edge & Christian
13) Harlem Heat
12) New Age Outlaws
11) Demolition

10)   ROCK 'N' SOCK CONNECTION
TAG TITLES WON: Three


When people say opposites attract; here is the perfect example. Both of these guys were well over and former WWE Champions and were both loved by the fans. We knew we would be in for some good matches when these two were together, but their chemistry surprised many. They performed well together and pulled out some great edge-of-your-seat moments.


9)   SHAWN MICHAELS & DIESEL
TAG TITLES WON: Two


Michaels was home one weekend and saw Kevin Nash, then known as Vinnie Vegas, on WCW Saturday Night. Nash had Shawn laughing out loud. He immediately asked a friend and WWE co-worker, John Laurinitis if he knew anything about the big guy.

Turned out John knew Nash personally, and called him on the phone, Nash got his release from WCW and headed right into WWE as HBK's body guard, Diesel. Diesel and Michaels became the best big man/little man team in WWE history, and their double-team repertoire was endless.

8)   STEINER BROTHERS.
TAG TITLES WON: 14


Tag team of the year in both 1990 and 1993. 1991 five-star match with Sting and Brian Pillman vs. Ric Flair, Larry Zbyszko, Barry Windham and Sid Vicious. And Match of the Year 1991; vs.  Hiroshi Hase and Kensuke Sasaki at the WCW/NJPW Supershow. 14 recognized tag titles together during their 19 year career. Their stats say it all, add in incredible charisma, two of the most decorated and unique characters in the business, and their brothers? You just can’t go wrong with the Steiner Brothers.

7) THE ROCKERS
TAG TITLES WON: Six


The team of Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty invented the high-flyer tag-team style. They won the WWE Tag Titles but during the taping, the ring ropes broke and the match was never aired. Therefore, the win never hit the books.

Their iconic break-up on the Barbershop, launched the career of the greatest in-ring entertainer of all time, Shawn Michaels. Although not together anymore, their style lives on through teams such as the Hardy Boys, and the Motor City Machine Guns.                       


6) THE HART FOUNDATION
TAG TITLES WON: Two
