I figured this would be a fun topic about tag teams.
Miz or Morrison?

Hard to say. Miz carried them verbally IMO New Age Outlaws I'm actually going to say Roadd Dogg. he was WAY better on the mic that Billy, and could fire up a crowd with the best of them. plus he had some good wrestling skills and could put on decent matches. Billy Gunn was good, but always seemed to flounder on his own, and didn't have the best promo skills without someone to work off of. |

I gotta go with Bubba on this one. During his Bully Ray run he showed exactly what he could do on his own and excelled at it. D-Von never really got anywhere outside the tag team ranks.
London and Kendrick

Took much more of the risk and had way more "Holy S H I T" moments. Edge and Christian? |

I think Edge and Christian were pretty balanced. I'd give the edge to Edge though. Mostly just slightly better mic skills and presence, but Christian has always been as good, if not arguably better in ring.

Now I don't want to take too much away from Billy because he was CRUCIAL to their in ring success.....and they gelled SO well. But Road Dogg was the guy with the catchphrases.....he was the guy that had the crowd singing along. Without him? I don't think the team would have got over in the manner that they did. However.....that not to say that Billy wasn't incredibly over as the badass(should never have changed it to Mr Ass) |

just going to add some brief thoughts on the other teams mentioned.....
Miz N Morrison:
Miz. His promo talent is what got the team noticed plus he was a great hand in the ring too. Morrison of course was excellent in ring but couldn't talk worth a damn
Steiner Brothers:
Neither. They complimented one another perfectly.....thus making them one of the legit tag team greats. Lots of people automatically say Scott because he had singles success.....but when they were a team it was often Rick who was more over with the crowd while Scott had all those flashy moves.
The Dudley Boys:
Bubba.....but just slightly IMO. He was obviously team captain but its hard to say which guy was more important to this team in their prime. I give Bubba the edge because he was more the promo guy.
The Road Warriors:
Animal. Joe was team captain....scripted heaps of their stuff for Hawk to deliver and often saved a match when Mike was "off his game"....BUT neither guy was more over than the other.
Hardy Boys:
Jeff......he was the guy folks were coming to see.....no 2 ways about it.
Edge & Christian:
Difficult to say. as a team they are one of the greats because there was legit 2 of them in it......

I felt they both complimented the other pretty much 50/50. While Scott did go on to bigger things as a singles wrestler Rick's singles career wasn't that bad either. And hey (this will probably be the only time you see me say this name on the Classics board) John Cena did steal Rick's catchphrase. "You want Some...Come get some!"  |

I think Miz/Morrison & NAO both worked well because each guy had their strengths. Miz & Dogg were great mic men, while Morrison & Billy both had the athleticism.
IMO the Steiners, Eaton/Lane, & LOD were all so even, I don't think anyone outshined the other.

Yeah I watched some "the Other Guy" show on the Network and they said Rick and Animal were the "other guy" of their teams and I just didn't understand how they could come up with that! When I think Road Warriors Hawk may pop in my head first because he was my favorite of the two but Animal is right beside him meaning I don't think Hawk without thinking of Animal also and vise versa. Same with the Steiners. Sure Scott reached a higher level as a singles wrestler than Rick, but as a team they were even.

I agree that both complimented one another perfectly. Another thing, I wouldn't say Scott was more successful in the singles department compared to Rick. For singles gold... Rick held 3 TV Titles, 1 US Title Scott held 2 TV Titles, 2 US Titles, 1 WCW Title Where as yes, Scott was WCW Champion, Rick never really got lost in the shuffle. He was US Champion while Scott was WCW Champion. So that maybe the only time a tag team did well in singles as they did in being a team. |

Animal and Hawk is a tricky one.
Animal got injured in 1993 and couldn't wrestle for a while. Hawk went on to have a singles run in ECW and in WCW then. To say Hawk was better than Animal because of that is just ridiculous though.
LOD are definitely on par with each other. Same with Ax and Smash, Bobby and Stan, Ricky and Robert, even Billy and Road Dogg. I remember when Road Dogg and K-Kwik were a tag team in late 1999 and it was horrible compared to Road Dogg and Billy Gunn together.

I feel like in the NAO's case, it was always more Dogg carrying Billy and the mic work, but Billy was given way more singles opportunities. WAY more.
