WWE's Greatest Champions Part 2: WWE/World Tag Team Champions

My next Greatest Champions Top 10 contains my picks for the best WWE and World Tag Team Champions.

10. The Rock n' Sock Connection

A team composed of former rivals, The Connection won three World Tag Championships, all of them being short-lived. Their last appearance was at Wrestlemania XX, when they lost to the team of Ric Flair, Randy Orton and Batista. They are undoubtedly one of the biggest fan favorites of our generation.

9. World's Greatest Tag Team

Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin first appeared as part of Team Angle, but they quickly showed that they were not in the Olympian's shadow, becoming the fourth team to win the WWE Tag Team Championship. They would only win one more title together before they went their separate ways.

8. The APA

The brawling, beer-drinking, gambling duo won their first two World Tag Titles in 1999, defeating Kane & X-Pac for their first, and then regaining the belts from the Hardy Boyz. They wouldn't win another title until 2001, when they defeated the Dudley Boyz for their final reign as champions.

7. Hardy Boyz

The high-flying, ladder-scaling, hardcore brothers from North Carolina have won six World Championships, their last one in a tag team battle royal in April 2007. These two were known for their extreme matches with Edge and Christian, and the largely-entertaining TLC matches.

6. Demolition

Ax & Smash dominated the late 1980's and won the World Championship belts three times. Despite only being around for about a year, the two held the belts for a record 16 months in their first reign.

5. MNM

The photogenic triad from Los Angeles quickly made a name for themselves in 2005 by beating Eddie Guerrero & Rey Mysterio for their first WWE Tag Team Championship. All three of their WWE Tag Titles came in 2005, with their last one ending just a couple of weeks before the start of 2006.

4. Legion of Doom

Also known as the Road Warriors, Hawk and Animal won their first World Tag belts in 1991 from the Nasty Boys. They wouldn't win another title for six years, defeating the Godwinns in 1997. After Hawk's passing, Animal left the WWE, but returned in 2005 to team up with Heidenreich, reform the L.O.D., and win their only WWE Tag Team Championship.

3. Edge & Christian

This Canadian pair were two of the most extreme teams in the WWE. With their hardcore-style technique, and their infamous TLC matches, these two won the World Tag Team Championships seven times between 2000 and 2001.

2. The Hart Foundation

Another team from our neighbors to the north, Bret and Owen Hart won two World Tag Titles and proved their superiority to anyone who wanted the belts. Even after their separation, Bret and Owen continued to dominate the tag team division for different teams.

1. Dudley Boyz

Undoubtedly the best tag team in all of professional wrestling. Having jumped from ECW, the hardcore brothers won eight World Tag Championships and one WWE Tag Title in their stint in WWE, and have won even more in ECW and TNA.

HONORABLE MENTIONS: New Age Outlaws, Too Cool, Los Guerreros
