As you may know, I am a lover of professional wrestling. I mostly watch older AWA matches on ESPN Classic and hunt down stuff on YouTube. You’d be amazed at how much 80s wrestling is available out there.

Anyway, I’ve always been a fan of tag teams. When I was growing up, we had the Legion of Doom, Demolition, the Hart Foundation, the British Bulldogs, the Powers of Pain, the Natural Disasters, the Islanders, the Bushwhackers, the Rockers, and so many more. That got me thinking … what tag teams never happened, but would have been great? Here’s a look at just a few of the pairings which piqued my interest.

Sabu/Mick Foley
Are there any two wrestlers willing to sacrifice their bodies more than these two? Seriously … Mick Foley took a dive from the top of a steel cage and Sabu once had to close a huge gash in his arm – caused by barbed wire – with duct tape so he could finish the match. Seriously, these two would probably die together in the ring, but it would be one hell of a match to watch! And if you don't know about Sabu, you are missing the the most homicidal, suicidal and genocidal wrestler of all time.

Hulk Hogan/Ric Flair
Imagine two of the top stars from the sport wrestling together. They’d be unstoppable. Flair getting a figure four on an opponent, with Hogan simultaneously doing the big leg drop? The only problem I see is the two getting along. I doubt they’d be able to work together, both thinking he’s better than the other. It would be hard to argue with either of them. WOOOOOOO!

Rick Rude/Curt Hennig
These two were best friends and were two of the best wrestlers in the business. Although, their combined arrogance could outshine their in-ring ability. Easily two of the best on the mic and in the ring. I can’t imagine many more tag teams that could work a crowd as well as they could. You know you would love hating them. I also enjoy mentioning Rick Rude in all of my wrestling blogs because he's probably my favorite wrestler of all time. NOW HIT MY MUSIC!

Andre the Giant/Big Show
Big Show was billed as Andre the Giant’s son when he appeared in WCW. Imagine the two wrestling together! Each over seven feet tall and a combined weight of almost 1,000 pounds! They would have been unreal. But after a while, the guys in the back would probably not want to continue taking a pounding from these two. Imagine getting hit in the chest with a ham 10 times a day. NO THANKS!

 
Juventud Guerrera/Super Crazy
And finally ... if I’m gonna do a blog about fantasy tag teams, I’ve got to get some luchadors in there! Juvi Juice and Super Crazy were some of the best high flyers I’ve ever seen and can’t begin to envision how these two would work together. It would go so fast, you wouldn’t even know what the hell just happened, but you sure as hell would be telling everyone you know about how insane the match was!
