Next to Hulk Hogan they were the most popular wrestlers

The Bulldogs won the titles at WrestleMania 2 after the teams feuded ng for close to a year.In late 1986, Dynamite Kid suffered a serious back injury during a match against Nikolai Volkoff & The Iron Sheik. The injury led to the Bulldogs having to lose their belts prematurely.On January 26, 1987, the British Bulldogs lost the titles to the Hart Foundation in a match that saw a helpless Dynamite Kid needing to be carried to the ring by Davey Boy Smith.Unfortunately, this would be the only tag belts that this team would win. Rock N' Roll ExpressRick Morton and Robert Gibson were the pioneers, with the Fabulous Ones, of the "girlie" teams and the most successful.The Express feuds with the Midnight Express and Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard were classics.The Express won the NWA World Tag Titles four times, defeating the Russians twice, Manny Fernandez & Rick Rude, and the Midnight Express.Though they had much success in Memphis, JCP, AWA, and Smoky Mountain Wrestling, they only briefly competed in the WWF. 3. Other teams to use this rule were the Midnight Express in SECW (with Norvell Austin), The Russians in JCP, Demolition in WWF, as well as others.The Freebirds held various titles during the 80s, including the NWA National Tag Team Titles, NWA Mid-America Titles, Mid-South Titles, WCW United States Titles, WCW World Titles, and NWA American Titles.They also won six-man tag titles that were won while in WCCW and WCW.While in WCCW, the Freebirds feuded with Von Erichs which many feel is the most exciting feud in wrestling history Of course it was good v. bad, and the Freebirds knew how to be the best heels in the business. They were so good as heels that they were popular with many fans which was almost taboo during the good guy-bad guy era.While in the AWA, the Freebirds brawled with the Road Warriors, proving to be one of the few teams who could stand toe to toe with the men from Chicago.Their match at SuperClash in Comiskey Park was a classic and was cool when the Freebirds fought with the Confederate Flag painted on their face....classic!!! 2 - Steiner BrothersRick and Scott Steiner are one of only two tag teams to win the WWF World Tag Team Championships, WCW World Tag Team Championships, and the IWGP World Tag Team Championship in history (the other being the Dudley Boyz/Team 3D).The team was formed in '89, when Scott Steiner became sick of the way Kevin Sullivan was treating his brother who was a member of the Varsity Club.

They instantly started fighting with the Club and became an instant draw.The Steiners defeated the Freebirds for the WCW Tag titles months held them for six months. They won the WCW United States Tag titles in '90 by defeating the Midnight Express.The Steiner Brothers won then WWF belts by beating Money Inc in '93 but lost to them to the less-talented Quebecers.On their return to WCW, they won the tag team belts by defeating Harlem Heat in '96, but the title change was not recognized.They feuded with the Outsiders in '97, which was very entertaining.The Steiner matches were known to be fast paced and very exciting. Rick would suplex and clothesline like no other wrestler and Scott's finishing maneuver, Frankensteiner, was one of the best moves ever. 1- Road Warriors w/ Paul ElleringWas their any doubt who would rank No. 1They were the focal point of most organizations which they were competing, which was usually given to the singles champ.They were popular and cheered, even when they were suppose to be heels. Next to Hulk Hogan, they were the most popular wrestlers.The Road Warriors were first recognized in the Georgia territory in 1983 and instantly won the NWA National Tag Team titles in a tournament. In the AWA, the Road Warriors became a household name and appeared in every wrestling magazine cover.

At this time, the AWA may have been the top organization.The Road Warriors again won the titles basically by walking through the curtains. Hawk left the ring to help his manager which left Animal alone to get pinned by Garvin.After touring in Japan after the loss, they headed to Jim Crockett Promotions to help that organization leap frog to the top.During their first year, the Road Warriors won the Jim Crockett Sr. Memorial Cup by defeating fan favorites Magnum TA and Ronnie Garvin. They feuded with the Koloffs and performed in the match of the year by fighting the Midnight Express in a scaffold match.In '87, they began teaming with Dusty Rhodes and Nikita Koloff which they were dubbed "The Superpowers". It started by Powers of Pain (managed by Ivan Koloff) began saying that they were the toughest and the strongest team in wrestling.Of course this didn't sit well with the boys from Chicago. During a bench-pressing contest to settle the score, Animal was attacked as he was about to press and suffered a concussion and gash in his head.The Powers of Pain left shortly after losing the initial battles and did not want to fight in a scaffold match.After two years of dominating, the Road Warriors defeated the Midnight Express for the World Tag Team titles. They held the belts for six months before losing to the Varsity Club in another controversial loss.The other major titles that the Warriors won were the WWF Tag Team titles which they held twice.
