Tag Teams were so awesome back then. Dudley Boyz, Hardy Boyz, Edge & Christian, New Age Outlaws, T&A (Test & Albert), A.P.A., Hardcore Holly & Crash Holly, Eddie & Chavo, The Brothers of Destruction, Too Cool, Kaientai, etc.
They weren't my favorite of all time, but I agree completely. Everytime they showed up, you knew to stay glued to the screen. Thats a huge compliment actually, because so much of wrestling feels like filler or redundant anymore, there are only afew acts that you can say make it feel exciting everytime they step onto the screen.
@@eddiemurphy2963 yea I did and they weren't as big as the Dudleys pops. Dudleys and Hardys were both more popular in their eras than the Road Warriors were in theirs. there was literally just far more people while all still popping and blowing the roof off for these guys.
Gotta agree with Jim Cornette on this one. If it was purely a popularity contest, and nothing else, then yeah, Road Warriors all the way. If you're talking about taking the big bumps, and making your opponents look good, regardless of style and weight class, then that's all Dudleyz, baby. 😃
I've always been a fan of the Road Warriors but I think the Stieners get lost in the nostalgia shuffles. You had two great athletes that could have great matches with anyone and Rick alone was already in a good team prior to joining his brother, with the Varsity Team.
They're Not Better Than The Road Warriors, Steiners, Bulldogs, Demolition, Hart Foundation, Rockers, Rougeaus, StrikeForce, Midnight Express, Arn/Ole, Arn/Tully, Rock n Roll Express, Hollywood Blondes, Harlem Heat, Nasty Boys, Faces Of Fear, Outsiders, Owen/Yoko, Owen/Bulldog, Freebirds, Blackjacks, Wild Samoans, Brody/Hansen, Dr. Death/Gordy, Eliminators, Sabu/RVD... The Dudley's Are Slightly Above The American Males. Maybe... Mortis And Wrath Might Be Better As Well.
@@84slaughter you started out respectable enough, but after that you just lost all credibility. Lmao the Nasty Boys? Please. There's like three makeshift tags on your list.
Another thing about The Dudley's and Smokey Mountain is that he would've brought in a team very different than the one we all know. Hell, D-Von may not have been part of it even. Let's not forget that the Dudley's started out as a comedy group, and Buh-Buh at the time that Smoke Mountain was operating was a stutterer. "Mah name is Buh-Buh"*someone hits him with something*"Mah name is Buh-Buh Ray Dudley" was his promos. You would not have seen the table smashing in SMW, that was still a few years off.
Anyone who saw Bubba on the mic in the original ECW at a house show probably saw the last of the old time heels I saw people hop the rails in Poughkeepsie to get at him
House show in blackwood bubba and new jack were fighting in the crowd and they had to take it back to the ring because so many fans were throwing shit and trying to sneak punches at bubba
I just realized aside from the Dudleyz and the APA I don't know any other interracial tag teams maybe Booker t and goldust and John Morrison and r Truth
Dudleys are the fucking best tag team all around, period. Not the most athletic, but as a total package, they surpass any team from any other era, only rivaled by their contemporary counterparts.
had the honor to work with both teams, dudleys for there time one of the toughest ever and professional real guys! but no team in history compare to the ROAD WARRIORS! go to PAPW tv and CenterRing316, Thank you VG! best ch on the tube!
I went to a lot of SMW shows. If one of the guys had fallen on me or taken a swing at me, I wouldn't have sued, I would have been like "Yes! This was the best show ever!"
I respectfully disagree about the Dudleyz the TLC feud kinda put them on par with the Austin, Rock and HHH stuff. People who watched back then remember Jericho, HHH, and Rock jumping into their storyline at times because of how got it was.
Well technically they were slightly under in regards Austin and Rock since that's considered one of the greatest rivalries of all time and they were considered Megastars. Triple H however was never a big enough draw during that time to reach their status. Had the Dudleys managed to have won the WWE championship, they would probably would be on par with Triple H if slightly above as they're considered The Big 3 of the WWE Tag Teams along with E&C and The Hardy Boyz. They set the new standard for tag team wrestling in the company and reignited the heavy interest in the division. It kinda sucks that only Edge and Jeff were able to heavily capitalize in their solo runs and Jeff's only one of two people to complete two WWE Grand Slam formats. The greatest thing about TLC is that when people mention great tag team wrestling, no conversation can exclude those 6 guys in way.
I always found them to be entertaining. I became a wrestling fan sometime in 2003 and at that time the tag team divisions were still pretty entertaining for me. So I enjoyed them quite a bit for the time they had left in the WWE. Unfortunately when they left for TNA i didn’t get to watch them again until they returned to the WWE again. When they first went to TNA I didn’t know what TNA was. Later on when I discovered TNA I didn’t have cable so I couldn’t tune in to follow them. But I did catch bits and pieces of Bully’s time as the world champion and being a singles competitor and I thought he did a solid job with it. It was impressive to see a guy have that success, yes I get it was TNA, after spending so many years and having such an established identity as being a tag team guy. It doesn’t seem like it’s super frequent that you see someone spend a ton of years being solely a tag team wrestler, notably always with the same partner, branch out to a singles role and see large success with it. I don’t think that’s because guys don’t have the talent or ability to do it but I think it’s hard to get past such an established identity with your fanbase who have been groomed for so long to see you in a certain way to now be happy to see such a change. I think that’s even more applicable when you’re coming from such a revered team like the Dudley’s that had success for so long. I was pretty stoked to see them come back to WWE when they did. I didn’t watch the television regularly but at the time I tuned in for most of the PPVs on the network. I remember at the time being pretty disappointed that they were used predominately just to put people over. I get why that was the case, as you have established name legends who can survive losing matches and elevate the status of rising young teams on your roster which is a smart investment into your future. But it still would’ve been nice to see one run happen even if it wasn’t long largely for nostalgia sake. It’s kinda even more disappointing years later when you see that they put the world title on Goldberg multiple times over young guys even though Goldberg doesn’t need to be involved in a title match to attract someone to watch. Feels lame that they’d do that for nostalgia for their most important belt but not for the tag belts. One of those things that you understand but still don’t like it I guess. But I’ll give the company some props - New Day did eventually elevate up and become a money maker for the company. So I guess it worked in the end even if a nostalgia seeker like myself wish it could’ve been a bit different just for a short time.
IMO both The Road Warriors and The Dudleys were great tag teams for their time and fans went crazy for them . Have much respect for both tag teams . RIP to both Hawk and Animal . Dudleys in ECW were money especially when Bubba was on the mic just tearing into the crowd to pieces to the point fans would throw stuff at them and cuss them out . Warriors the minute Black Sabbath's Iron Man hit the PA system and they would just rush the ring and dismantle whatever was in their way .If there was ever a dream match for me it would be these 2 teams in their primes against eachother .Would be hard to pick a winner but that would be a match for the ages imo .
Yeah if they went to SMW, you would not have gotten what we now know but you would've gotten a guy who stutters in his promos and who's finishing move was a powerbomb with a delay due to his stutter, but D-Von would've been closer to his later Reverend gimmick as well. Hell, I think D-Von joined after SMW closed.
I get what you're saying, but that presuming that Cornette looked into the future and saw what the Dudleys would later become. But when he signed them, they would've been the stutterer and testifier. Would leave the question of would he be interested in them what they were at the time, which I don't even think D-von had been brought in yet.
You cant compare wrestlers from different generations just like you cant in major sports.I saw Road WArriors in 1984 vs Mr. wrestling 2 & Ronnie Garvin in WV,then they came into the truckstop to eat after the match.I was 11 and scared to death..I think Hawk could have been a singles Champ he was great on the Mike for that time..I hate when people trash great Performers..JUst like He Man was great cartoon at that time .inside joke to one of the commenters
The Dudley Boyz were the equivalent of a Top Guy in a Tag Team Great Reaction everytime they came out, Good in the ring, good on the sticks, literally held every major belt when you think of one you think of the other. There's only 2 teams I can think of like that today The Young Bucks & The Revival it's so rare today very unheard of.
Uncle Osiris baldies were trash bro and part of that wimpy 2K TNN era in ECW which had long lost its edge and violence..they relied on New Jack whoopin them out
Ok I'm not update on my Cornette slang,but what does "juice" mean? And I take it somebody from the South calling people from the North "Yankey bastards"?
The fact that the dudleys are Yankees would have given them heat in the SMW right off the bat. Trust is an uphill battle in the south as soon as they know you're from up North. With good reason though
I still get mad when Bubba claims to be WCW tag team champion. he never worked at the Omni or Greensboro in the "good ol days" . But hey WWE just loves rewriting history often.
The Dudley Boyz aren't even in the same galaxy as The Road Warriors. The Road Warriors were absolutely one of the biggest draws of their time, and held each of the major titles of their day. The Dudley Boyz go through a table as their sole thing. No cheers for the Dudley Boyz, but people love them a table. No tables=no Dudleyz. Take away the table, and no one would care about the Dudleyz.
Bubba Ray was very good on the microphone, though. And at least they were willing to sell to anyone. And they definitely overachieved from a comedy curtain jerker to one of the most decorated tag teams in late 20th/early 21st century wrestling history.
Take away the Road Warrios look and they have nothing. Both are great teams, there will be a generation or two that will look at the Road Warriors the same way my generation looks at Bob Backlund or Bruno or Harley Race. Different time, different place, all legends.
+Chris Arctor I have to slightly disagree there. Even now Harley's promos are above and beyond a lot of the stars of any era. Sure the style changes but if you are over then you are over. The dudleys have as many titles as they have is because TNA panicked and always put the belts on them like they did with sting.
+RockMusicFan92 TNA had zero to do with 90% of the championships the Dudleyz won. And the reason I mentioned those older stars is like when someone does the "My generation of music was better than today's music!" argument. It's just a matter of perception/perspective. Most younger fans are TOLD the Road Warriors were the greatest tag-team, just like we're told by older fans that Bruno was the best or Race or Flair were the best. But younger fans, and I don't mean kids today I just mean younger generations will look at the wrestlers they grew up and are more familiar with and say naw, Shawn Michaels is the best or The Dudleyz are the best or Daniel Bryan is the best.
+Chris Arctor I thought they held the belts more in TNA because they treated them like they where god damn supermen when in reality it was arguably the world part of their run. I never said the Road Warriors had been the best tag team. Yet for me I would go back to an older team when tag wrestling actually meant something like with a team like Arn and Tully. Yet in modern wrestling I don't think you can beat the revival.
I’m sorry. I know that many people love the Dudley’s. I personally couldn’t stand them at all. I never understood Bubba mostly. He always looked like he was a few french fries short of a happy meal.
King of Wrestling and American Wolves were part of the last generation I really followed very closely so I'm glad to hear Jim say positive things about them because they were really good.
Tag Teams were so awesome back then. Dudley Boyz, Hardy Boyz, Edge & Christian, New Age Outlaws, T&A (Test & Albert), A.P.A., Hardcore Holly & Crash Holly, Eddie & Chavo, The Brothers of Destruction, Too Cool, Kaientai, etc.
Dudleys are by far my favorite tag team. everytime they showed up it was like "holy shit, what are they going to do this time!?"
They weren't my favorite of all time, but I agree completely. Everytime they showed up, you knew to stay glued to the screen. Thats a huge compliment actually, because so much of wrestling feels like filler or redundant anymore, there are only afew acts that you can say make it feel exciting everytime they step onto the screen.
You would have to have lived it back then what it was like to hear and witness a RW pop. Couldn’t agree more though about Team 3D though just amazing
3D (through a table)
@@eddiemurphy2963 yea I did and they weren't as big as the Dudleys pops. Dudleys and Hardys were both more popular in their eras than the Road Warriors were in theirs. there was literally just far more people while all still popping and blowing the roof off for these guys.
TNA is like being in the federal witness protection program LOL
Imagine how much money you would have if you had five dollars for everytime Cornette said the words "Midnight Express" Or "Territories".
Just like - "Brought to you by Carl's Junior" - The movie which is a documentary - IDIOCRACY!
I've been listening to this podcast for about a month and a half.
KING YETI same I listen very slowly 😂
Your WiFi must be crappy
Gotta agree with Jim Cornette on this one. If it was purely a popularity contest, and nothing else, then yeah, Road Warriors all the way.
If you're talking about taking the big bumps, and making your opponents look good, regardless of style and weight class, then that's all Dudleyz, baby. 😃
3D and the Hardys were both more popular in their era than the Road Warriors were in theirs.
devon, get the tables!!
Testify !
Fuck you bubba, you get the tables
Remember going to a Stryper concert and seeing D Von there it was pretty awesome
That's cool
I was there at the electrified cage match. As soon as D-Von was on the cage getting “electrified” everyone started booing loudly.
I've always been a fan of the Road Warriors but I think the Stieners get lost in the nostalgia shuffles. You had two great athletes that could have great matches with anyone and Rick alone was already in a good team prior to joining his brother, with the Varsity Team.
Right on my favorite tag team.
And with Sting in the UWF.
the steiners were the shit they should get alot more love then they do they're definitely higher ranked then the dudleys imo
"Old fucking farm women" I don't know why that's so funny.
I think they are referring to the Dudley's getting that road warrior pop regardless if they were heel or face mostly.
Jim Cornett belongs on the Mount Wrestle More Monument.
Bubba getting tackled by a big farm women haha
With a name like bubba how could he not?
He might like it
When Bubba threw the old bag off her wheelchair and put her through the table, and just stood there in a trance! 🤣🤷♂️
I love the Dudley Boyz and I think they are Top 10.. Not number 1 but they are Top 10..
They're Not Better Than The Road Warriors, Steiners, Bulldogs, Demolition, Hart Foundation, Rockers, Rougeaus, StrikeForce, Midnight Express, Arn/Ole, Arn/Tully, Rock n Roll Express, Hollywood Blondes, Harlem Heat, Nasty Boys, Faces Of Fear, Outsiders, Owen/Yoko, Owen/Bulldog, Freebirds, Blackjacks, Wild Samoans, Brody/Hansen, Dr. Death/Gordy, Eliminators, Sabu/RVD... The Dudley's Are Slightly Above The American Males. Maybe... Mortis And Wrath Might Be Better As Well.
@@84slaughter you started out respectable enough, but after that you just lost all credibility. Lmao the Nasty Boys? Please. There's like three makeshift tags on your list.
You Wouldn't Take The Nasty's Over The Dudley's? They're 2nd WCW Run Was Great! The American Males Line Was A Joke Of Course.
@@84slaughter after seeing Brian Knobbs asshole on Twitter thanks to Rip Rogers I'd pick just about anyone over the Nastys lmfao
How do they manage to fit an extra syllable in there? "Northern Ire'er'land"... Bloody Amer'er'icans! 🤣

I saw people hop the rails in Poughkeepsie to get at him
SAVikingSA To add to that, watch Heat Wave 99 and the promo they cut. They damn near started a riot.
and almost had a brawl in the parking lot after the show with alot of fans waiting for them
Dick Lowtax when Randy Orton was the Legend killer, he came pretty close to that
Goodness, you guys don't know anything about wrestling- it was all cheap heat from Buh Buh Ray in ECW.
House show in blackwood bubba and new jack were fighting in the crowd and they had to take it back to the ring because so many fans were throwing shit and trying to sneak punches at bubba
My Question! So cool!
I just realized aside from the Dudleyz and the APA I don't know any other interracial tag teams maybe Booker t and goldust and John Morrison and r Truth
Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas.
Sputnik Monrow had a black tag team partner back in the 60s
Tajiri and Regal, Rock and Sock
Ole and Thunderbolt.

Nope. His name is Brian Last.
Oh this time you are talking about our generations Briscoe Bros! Thanks for clarifying Corney!

Probably my favorite team. They were just so cool.
But were they "Too Cool"?

The Dudley Boyz were a "sleeper" tag team...yeah they weren't as dominant as THE RODE WARRIORS, but man can they wreak havoc!!
One of the best tag teams of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries
" the midnight express, one time..." LOL sacré corny!
Road warriors? bubba gum pop ! Dudley's?... POP !!!!
Dudley’s were great but Road Warriors were the GOAT 🐐 of tag teams
I went to a lot of SMW shows. If one of the guys had fallen on me or taken a swing at me, I wouldn't have sued, I would have been like "Yes! This was the best show ever!"
I always expected the unexpected with The Dudley Boyz. Top 5 all-time best tag teams in any league.

Road Warriors are the ultimate tag team but the Dudley Boyz rock.
When all you do is win and put no one over and not take bumps, they're gonna be a bigger draw lol

Have to disagree on hawk and animal. I like the Dudley's but the RW got like a stone cold level crowd reaction.
With Joel Gertner maybe as much heat as the Gangstas. Maybe..

Erik S juice is a wrestling term for bleeding during a match.

What about the Steiner brothers? I would put them over the dudleys. Any day of the week.
Dudleys won more championship
Greatest tag team ever...
1. Road Warriors
2. Dudley Boyz
3. ..... position all other teams are working for
Steiner Bros dude. and Hart Foundation had Bret not been so great that he got pushed into singles.
Nasty Boys and Harlem Heat were good. Hart Foundation too.
The Dudleyz would have to share their spot with E&C and the Hardyz just because of TLC 1,2 and 3 alone.
I'd put The Steiners in that third spot.

Man you must be smoking drugs to think the Dudley Boyz isn't top 10.. You're out of your mind to think other..
List ten teams better than the Dudleys.
woodwwad he doesn't shit talk them. He says they were green and always beat the shit out of ppl but were massive draws and decent guys.
Vinterblod213 you missed out 2 versions of the midnight's
vinter-skugga hahahahaha someone's living in the past
King of Wrestling and American Wolves were part of the last generation I really followed very closely so I'm glad to hear Jim say positive things about them because they were really good.
