5. Dudleys 4. Edge And Christian 3. Hart Foundation 2. Hardys 1. New Day
Feels pretty accurate. Not a Hardy Boys fan in the least bit so I’d put them at number five but can see why they are number 2. People will get bent out of shape about the New Day being number 1. Especially the people who think anything after the 90s is bad for some reason. Given their longevity, number of reigns, merch sold, popularity, and having the longest tag reign in WWE history though it makes sense to me.

I think the list is honestly pretty accurate as far as Wwe lists go. I don’t think I’d personally have New Day as one but I’d say at this point they have earned top ten.

New Day has lasted six and a half years now, which is a hell of a long time for WWE. It works.

I can't decide between The Hardyz, E&C and The Dudleyz

I can't decide between The Hardyz, E&C and The Dudleyz I think the Hardys and E&C were bigger both in influence on the business and the fact that both teams at points had main event runs in the company. I mean I probably have the dudleys right outside the top five but so we are splitting hairs but I could say you take a look at wrestling today and I’d say Hardy’s, Edge, Christian, and probably Rey Mysterio have heavily heavily changed and influenced the wrestling business.

New Day at #1 is laughable. The main argument FOR New Day is also the biggest argument against them. Everyone is thumping the chest about "They're 11 time champions" but they're not mentioning there's 2 sets of tag titles (4 if you want to be technical with NXT brand) and 3 members as well as half as many legit tag teams as there were in the 80s and 90s.
I get it, WWE has to hype up their current "brand" because its free advertisement and they hope some schmuck out there will see it on social media and be like "what the greatest tag champs of all time? I gotta watch." Its typical WWE trying to push their past further into the rearview mirror to push their current stuff up not realizing most knowledgeable fans can see right through it.
The "accomplishments" argument doesnt hold water. Wrestling isnt a "real combative" sport. It has pre-determined outcomes. Literally anyone could be given the most titles and thus be dubbed "the greatest" that's completely manufactured and not real.
Regardless of their "accomplishments" Ill take Demolition, Legion of Doom, Steiner Brothers, Hart Foundation, British Bulldogs, Dudley Boyz & Brain Busters (in no particular order) before Ill even get to the point where Id start to mention New Day. Even then you can drop names like New Age Outlaws, Hardy Boys, Edge & Christian, Brothers of Destruction, Mega Powers & Two Man Power trip. I like New Day. They're entertaining. Ill even go as far as to say yes they are the best team of the last 15 years!
If you want to say New Day is your favorite or the best of the modern era...Ill give it to you all day long. Wont hear a peep from me, but saying they're the greatest of all time just shows the lack of knowledge on your part of wrestling history.

The greatest tag team of all time is either The Legion of Doom or The Dudley Boyz. Honorable mentions to The Hardy Boys and Edge and Christian.

The New Day isn't just the biggest tag team today, they're also bigger than most if not all of the full time single acts. I can't think of another tag team that has that accomplishment in the WWE. Of course they're number 1 and it's easy to see that unless you're stuck in the past. I think the only other team that you could maybe argue for the spot is the Hardys. If it were more than just a WWE list there would be others you could argue too, but...it's not. It's solely based on WWE accomplishments.

Look strictly at LOD's WWE run. They are legendary but their WWE runs were not great, and that late 90s run really stunk. [/quote] This. LOD is a great example of revisionist history making them seem to be the most dominant of tag teams ever and maybe they were in the 1980s but once the 1990s hit their flaws showed with Hawk and his addictions and not being able to stick around very long anywhere and both of them faced much bigger teams in the 1990s so they weren't able to as Bobby Heenan said "pick them up and throw them around" with no regard for safety like they did jobbers. What's worse if that their early 1998 time in WWF was them literally being embarassed by or losing to two guys who had been jobbing for almost a year straight in WWF. That doesn't so much say that Road Dogg and Billy Gunn improved or all of a sudden became awesome and talented, it shows how poor LOD had become. And they couldn't even capitalize on a cool return at Wrestlemania 14. They were back to getting owned by other teams in the next month or two. I do like Animal a lot though, I am more of an Animal fan than Hawk but LOD are no better than most of the other 1980s or 1990s teams that were awesome.

More title reigns doesn't make u better. Everyone has dozens of title matches and reigns these days, it's just the way the product is unfortunately. The sad thing is that most of them leave no impact on you and are forgotten really quickly. The only way to judge will be if the new day are remembered as fondly as the other teams in 20 Yr time or forgotten in with other "25 time tag champs" that will exist in the future. I get it too and you have to hype what u have now to make it seem valid and new day are good but I could never say greatest although if current fans want to think that it's up to them. Oh and for everyone saying "best in wwe history" please remember that wwe technicaly only started to exist in 2002 and before that it was wwf. Technically demolition, lod, Bulldogs etc didn't compete in wwe and new day didn't compete in wwf lol

Thanks for explaining that I didn't realise thst even though I've been watching since 1988 lol. As I said it's a technicality but it's still fact. If a company changes its name there's no record of the new name prior to that so the lineage is different albeit connected. And no matter what u want to change it to in your head or for the suit ur point of view the official list is wwe's greatest tag teams not best tag teams in wrestling history either. The tag team roster now for the most part sucks and isn't even close to the 80s or tlc era. Apart from the usos or new day very few team exist and most are thrown together singles stars with nothing to do. Are u forgetting a 10 Yr old wining tag belts with braun?? Never happened in the lod, demolition, harts era As I said that may be your opinion but its not mine or many others and just like you I'm not changing my mind.

That's a pretty dang accurate top 5. Can't say I'm totally sold on the order but, honestly, I don't think there's any order those 5 could go in that would completely satisfy me. On one hand, I can see why people are miffed about New Day at #1 considering how crappy the product is in general these days. On the other hand, nostalga goggles are almost always rose tinted and I don't think I could necessarily put any of the other teams on top of them from a totally objective standpoint.
