Only 30% Of WWE Fans Can Name All These Tag Teams. Can You?

Tag team wrestling is one of the coolest aspects of professional wrestling. At its core, you get to see four guys do battle instead of two. From a work stand point, the boys get a minute or so to rest during the match and have the match still be exciting. From a story telling stand point, there's so much emotion behind some of the tropes of a tag team match - watching the beaten down baby face scratch and claw to get to their corner, only to be cut off somehow by the dastardly heels, only to watch the eventual tag get made and feel the surge of a fresh baby face coming with the hot tag.

Do you love Tag Team wrestling? Do you think your Vicious And Delicious from Two Dudes With Attitude? Are you a mark who still claps their hands to the tune of the American Males theme song, or just a fan of Attitude Era throwing up three fingers in one hand, a hand piston in the other in your best five-second pose? Or are you simply just the Bar when it comes to your knowledge of tag teams?

Take our tag team quiz and find out if you're at the top of the card, or a curtain jerker.

The wrestling world doesn't seem right without a few Samoans running around in it, and this tag team has been running roughshod over the competition for nearly ten years now. It's not just their ring, it's their penitentiary.

Question 24

Which Tag Team Is This?

They started as a couple of Vampire brothers. As part of the Brood, these two along with Gangrel carved a pretty quick path to success. They were just too cool to be heels and got over as faces almost as quick as their debut.

Question 25

Which Tag Team Is This?

They're here to shock the system, and so far they have.

Question 28

Which Tag Team Is This?

Thanks to the power of the internet, there is a mash-up online of this team's entrance music and the Janet Jackson song, “Nasty.” Jerry Saggs and Brian Nobbs will never be known as skilled technicians in the ring.

Which Tag Team Is This?

Hawk and Animal revolutionized a lot of what we see today in tag team wrestling. They were ones who first had a double team maneuver as a finish.

They looked like scary demonic heels, but everywhere they went, they were loved. They were already one of the most decorated teams in the sport before they even came to the WWE, where there name was changed from the Road Warriors to this other name.

Question 31

Which Tag Team Is This?

They started out as members of the Wyatt Family. Erick Rowan and Luke Harper - two giants among men. Even by wrestling standards, these two are humongous, and frighteningly imposing.

Upon his return, these two have dropped the first names from their gimmicks and look to obliterate the competition on their way to tag team championship glory.

Question 32

Which Tag Team Is This?

When it's all said and done, the little promotion that could was a haven for guys not quite ready for the WWE. But now names like Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, and Bobby Roode are as synonymous with the WWE and they once were in TNA. In fact, the Glorious One, Bobby Roode had made a name for himself with “the Cowboy,” James Storm. Together, they were one of TNA’s most decorated tag teams with five title reigns. More impressive is that they were two homegrown talents that made it over several different long-established teams and duos.

Question 33

Which Tag Team Is This?

Before the slim, trim, and cut Samoans in today’s WWE, they looked a little heavier; which always helped lend to the “savage islander” type look. Teams like the Wild Samoans, the Headshrinkers, and these guys. Composed for Rosey and Jamal, these two were still big guys but dressed more like thugs than wild animals. They'd debut in 2002 as heavies for then Raw GM, Eric Bischoff. They'd be summoned when a segment was deemed boring and annihilate whoever was in the ring. Most famously, these three invaded Smackdown to ruin the wedding of Billy and Chuck.

Question 34

Which Tag Team Is This?

In today’s WWE, sometimes actual characters and gimmicks get lost in the shuffle with the wrestler’s tremendous skill sets.

Tyler Breeze’s first big splash was against legend Jushin Thunder Liger at the first Brooklyn Takeover. Together, they have gotten over just by doing fashion inspired spoofs of shows like Twin Peaks and Stranger Things.

Question 35

Which Tag Team Is This?

Davey Boy Smith and Tom Billington. Two put together prices of British wrestling, two graduates of the Hart Dungeon, two members of the Hart family tree through marriage. Sadly, both of their sordid past has caused this team to not get nearly enough credit. If you took a team like the Rockers and the Steiners, put them together and you'd get these two guys. Davey Boy was and still is one of the most underrated strong men in the business and to this day the matches between Dynamite and Tiger Mask are the stuff of legend. As a team, they had memorable bouts all over the world wth the likes of the Rougeaus, the Dream Team, and made magic with the Hart Foundation.
