Let's get started, shall we.
Cade and Murdoch vs. Los Guerreros
Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch are two tough guys. Put them in a tag team and you're sure to have a fight. When fighting, they will use any tactic to get the win, even if it means cheating. They have proved to be a force to be reckoned with inside the squared circle on several occasions.
Los Guerreros know exactly what it means to cheat. Eddie and Chavo made a living of lying, cheating and stealing if it meant getting them closer to their goals. In the ring, they could very well use high flying moves or ground their opponents and use technique. However they did it, Los Guerreros gave it every bit of effort they had.
Who wins?
The Natural Disasters vs. Edge and Christian
Earthquake and Typhoon were one of the biggest tandems in WWE history. Tipping the scale around 400 pounds, The Natural Disasters were as imposing as any other tag team in wrestling. Their size and power sure made up for their lack of speed inside the ring.
Edge and Christian will go down in history as one of the funniest tag teams in history. From their five minute poses to their catchphrases, Edge and Christian had it all. Don't be fooled, they could get the job done in the ring and compete with the best and come out on top.
Which team advances?
The A.P.A vs. The Nasty Boyz
Faarooq and Bradshaw did not care about fame or titles; all they cared about was beer, money and kicking ass. They were two powerhouses that were very popular with the fans. It was simple, you pay the A.P.A, and they protect you from anything. It seemed they were inseparable and not a single team on the roster wanted anything to do with these big boys.
When it comes down to illegal blows, foreign objects and distracting the referee, look no further then Knobbs and Saggs, The Nasty Boys. They didn't care for rules, and they loved a good old brawl which was often in their advantage. Add a little bit of Jimmy Hart in the mix, and The Nasty Boys were a team to be feared.
Beer Money Inc. vs. Money Inc.
Robert Roode and James Storm have a natural in ring talent. Together, they can be as nasty as any other team in TNA, but they get the job done. Roode was coming from team Canada, while Storm was coming from America's Most Wanted, but Beer Money Inc. may have surpassed both teams. It's safe to say that we will be hearing a lot of them in the future.
Back in the 80's, there was probably no man more hated then The Million Dollar Man. When I.R.S arrived in the WWE and teamed up with Dibiase, they formed one of the most hated tag teams in recent years. Money Inc. was a very smart tag team that always stayed one step ahead from their competition.
Who gets the win?
The Bushwackers vs. Team 3D
Luke and Butch were crazy, bizarre or whatever you want to call them. One thing though, their opponents never knew how to prepare for them thanks to their awkward style in the ring. Whether it was swinging their arms in the air while walking to the ring or licking the fans in the face, Luke and Butch were fan favorites all the way.
Whether it's under the name of Team 3D or The Dudley Boyz, Bubba Ray and D-Von are one of the most successful teams in wrestling. They were feared in every organization they went to, ECW, WWE or TNA. They were tough and didn't mind taking a lot of damage if that meant getting the win. At the end of the day, if they could put somebody through a table, that would put a smile on their faces.
Who wins?
The Brain Busters vs. The New Age Outlaws
When you had Tully Blanchard and Arn Anderson in front of you, you knew you were in for the fight of your life. The Brainbusters were a part of the awesome stable of the Four Horsemen and together, Tully and Arn were the perfect mix of power and brains. They were hated, no doubt, but nobody could deny how good they were in that ring.
The Road Dog and Mr. Ass were two proud members of one of the greatest stables in history, DX. Together, they were known as The New Age Outlaws and they knew how to break rules. Road Dod and Billy Gunn were very talented in single's competition, but together, they were unstoppable.
Who wins this tough match?
MNM vs. The Road Warriors
Joey Mercury and Johnny Nitro were cocky, good looking and most importantly, good. With the beautiful Melina in their corner, MNM were very successfull in the WWE. After one of the best debuts in WWE, Mercury and Nitro continued evolving and became the WWE's top team at the time.
When talking about legendary tag teams, The Road Warriors are it. Hawk and Animal mastered their craft as one of wrestling's greatest tag teams. They were fear by their opponents eyes through the AWA, NWA, WCW and WWE. Hawk and Animal did not know the meaning of the word fear, unless it meant striking fear in their opponents.
Who is the winner?
World's Greatest Tag Team vs. Demolition
Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas came to the WWE to help out Kurt Angle. They were the greatest pure athletes you could put in a tag team, and together they were great. Benjamin is a former amateur wrestler while Haas performed on the independent circuit for a while. Their in ring skills were not matched by any other duo at the time.
Like the name of the team would suggest, Demolition would demolish every tag team put in their way. Ax and Smash were one of the most imposing teams in the WWE at the time. With their face paint, they were a feared tag team on the roster. Wherever they went, Ax and Smash left a trail of broken bodies behind them.
Who wins?
