Since tag team wrestling in the WWE is at its all-time low, I was curious who everyone thought were the best duos in WWE(F) history?
It's hard to compare decades, but my favorites include...
The Wild Samoans
The Hart Foundation
Demolition
The Steiner Brothers
The Legion of Doom
The New Age Outlaws

Personally I would say Demolition / Hart Foundation \ The Nasty Boys / Money Inc \ The Bushwhackers (wouldn't it of been ace if they'd of won the belts) / New Age Outlaws \ The Rockers .

Demolition dominated the Powers of Pain in the late 80s. The Islanders also don't match up well with Demolition, who were the best of the tag teams during the WWF's tag team dynasty period.
The Rockers never won the big one. Again, they were dominated by Demolition. They were only tag champs for a week and no one ever knew about it.
The British Bulldogs, for as great as everyone thinks they were, never were as dominate as they should have been. The Harts were the best of the bunch.
1) Hart Foundation
2) Demolition (their first reign was almost Hogan-like in terms of length)
3) British Bulldogs
4) Legion of Doom (post-NWA era)
5) New Age Outlaws
6) Shelton and Charlie Haas
7) The Duley Boys (overrated)
8) Edge/Christian
9) Hardy Boys (also overrated)
10) Owen Hart and Yokozuna (underrated)
Also notables: The Rockers, Smoking Gunns, Powers of Pain, Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard, The Wild Samoans, The Islanders, Strike Force, Rock n Sock Connection, Kane and X-Pac, The Fabulous Rogeau Brothers, The Nasty Boys (hey, they did beat the Harts), Cactus Jack and Chainsaw Charlie (Terry Funk), The Acolytes, The Twin Towers, The MegaPowers, Big Show and The Undertaker, The Dream Team, and Owen Hart and The British Bulldog.

I think its hard to compare eras, snce they are so different.. I think in the "kayfabe" era, I'd go with either the Hart Foundation or the Rockers (sorry Demolition was never more than a Road Warriors rip off to me)
In the "attitude" era, you can't top the New Age Outlaws, at least before the tried to turn them heel. I remeber a few times where besides being the tag champs Road Dogg and Billy Gun woiuld hold both minor singles titles (Hardcore and IC, which they swapped a few times IIRC), and Road Dogg was just awesome on the mic in his prime.
just my .02

All right Frank...cool! Another Demolition fan! I love it. Ax and Smash were hugely successfuly in the WWF. I don't think there was another tag team as over with the fans than Demolition was following their WM 6 win. The LOD needed to come into WWF before their so-called "rip offs" became the better alternative.

KRONIK...even though they lasted only like 5 minutes in the WWE, they were very entertaining to watch in WCW.
For long-time WWE, I'd have to say it's a toss-up between the Hart Foundation, Demolition, or British Bulldogs. But, I also remember a VERY old-school tag team, the Moon Dogs (Spot & Rex). They were fun to watch as well.
