The COTG Tag Teams

[stephenvegas]

How would you rank the top 20 COTG tag teams of all time?

I am currently reading the awesome book "The Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame: The Tag Teams" that ranks the top 20 tag teams of all time and also has sections devoted to more than an additional 100 tag teams.

So I was just wondering, how you would rank the top 20 COTG tag teams (from a combination of GWF, CPC, and aCe) of all time? Would you make Brute and Massacre #1? Where would you rank tag teams such as New Order, The Mercenaries, and Thunder and Overkill?

Would tag teams such as the GameMasters, Dorado Sundown, the Guardians, and Cosmic Forces make your list?

I am interested in seeing where you guys rank the tag teams.

Look for ballots for the Tag Team Wing of the CotG HOF to be rolled out around mid to late November.

Personally by tag team title reigns in days . That is how I do it ? .

If Meteor Storm/Cosmic Rangers somehow make the list then you must have been bribed very well.

Id make the Mercenaries #1 and the Ninja Assassin/Demons of Hydra a very close #2. The Ult Gladiators would be #5 or in the top five.

OK! OK! You twisted my arm... Here is my list:

1. Mercenaries (Solider of Forturne / Vigilantee)
2. Ninja Assassins / Demons of Hydra
3. Desolation Factor / Main Event (Rack / Ruin)

Wow, seeing Twin Blood way down at the bottom of that list is strange. They may well be my #1 team of all time, certainly in the top 3 with the original Glads and Thunder & Overkill.
