Probably for me, Thunder has had the most tag team success, teaming with Overkill, Mensar, and Spike for multiple tag titles.
However, I have a special place in my heart for Incredible Badger: the first, and perhaps best, tag specialist of all time.
(Honorable mentions not in the poll: Overkill, Actagon, Prodigy, Lord Nexus)

Massacre carried Brute to become completely dominant for a long time.

Dreggs would be my vote if not he was so good in my feud that I have to let him go for the Galaxian title, he's too good for the tag title.
STAT WISE - Sleeze is the greatest tag wrestler and his stats are just awesome. He sucks alone, but give him someone with a bit of talent and he can support someone. He is the greatest supporting wrestler I have every seen. Him and Dreggs were just too godly for me before, I don't even remember them losing.
But, my favorite tag wrestler of all time is ... Mace, I loved just randomly pairing him off with people and lo and behold he'd go out and win the tag titles. He holds my record for most tag titles with different partners (Dreggs 3times, Overkill 2times, Vigilante 3times, Grunge, Sleeze and Vendetta - 11 titles total in 3 different federation runs) ... he currently is co holder of the CPC tag titles with Overkill ... I just got his singles car and he will soon get a singles push as soon as I figure out who to pair Overkill off with lol

While I loved the Gladiators in every incarnation(Massacre and Thunder were the best in that team), and the Mercenaries...
Dreggs was just awesome!! Member of two of the greatest tag teams in my fed, he was just too good.

I would have to say Massacre is the greatest tag wrestler of all-time, although Sleeze, Dreggs, and Badger also had successful runs with various partners. Then again, maybe I just want to say Massacre because he had a partner who suited him perfectly.

For me, this isn't even close. While Brute and Massacre held the most tag titles together(14), DragonMaster held 18 tag titles overall(3 with Lord Nexus, one with Splatter, one with Death Masque, 7 with Pulsar(Prime) and 6 with Rising Sun)

As a multiple time tag team champion in the WWF, I know a little something about being what Gorilla used to call a 'tag team specialist'..
To be a great tag wrestler, it's about more than just dry statistics of how many tag title reigns a guy has. It comes down to the nuts & bolts of what team work is all about. By this I'm talking about: self sacrifice, loyalty, dependability & an insatiable drive to put the concept of 'team' above & beyond any individual ambitions.
In my experience that man would be Overkill. For the ENTIRETY of his career, this Gladiator has put collective success as his overriding goal. He was born and breed to carry on the Aethran tradition of tag team dominance. In the end, Overkill achieved his mission, with not one-but TWO Hall of Fame caliber teams.
Others on the list are great, but no one man listed was as tunnel vision as Overkill. He's a man who achieved his purpose, and in the process became the greatest tag wrestler in GWF history.

C'mon guys and gals, Badger could have won gold with a steele folding chair as his partner. He won the tag titles 4 times for me, once with Iron Mane, twice with Battering Ram and once and longest and greatest reign with Massacre ( they didn't wanna team, but it's along story and they couldn't lose). They were called Shock Troop, their teaming was shocking, and they rolled everyone. They never lost not even by DQ, they vacated the titles after a year and a half "REAL TIME" due to pressure by the Aethan and Andromedia insiders. It was amazing they lasted that long. But I guess with success people can look the other way, for awhile. A close second is Thunder, the greatest all around wrestler to step foot in a GWF ring, 4 time Tag champ ( 2-Overkill, 1-Disaster, 1- and CURRENT with Malice), not to mention 3 GWF Hwt. title reigns, 2 United Stars (my secondary title) title reigns and 1 reign as Galactic TV champ that was the longest in history. And don't forget The Jester (Mad that is......heeheehahahahaha). Above the Law ( "Mad As Hell" for me) with Bishop Hell dominated the scene. The Royal Creeps with Killer Queen ("Crazy Klowns" for me) and he even team with The King.......Anyway out of your choices it has to be BADGER for me, go back and check his card again and if you go with your head and not your heart it has to be him.

Hey Jester- Did you belong to Club Galactica? For some reason, I remember somebody many years ago talking about Badger and Massacre teaming, and I always thought it would have been a cool idea. |

I still use some of the special matches that were printed in the "Matchmakers" column. That is something I would love to see more of in the Promoter. Joe |

:::fond Club Galactia memories:::
I was thinking that it would be neat if the GWF Promoter would have a "Time Warp Feature" of some of the best of Club Galactia....Special Matches, Biographies, etc...
