Timeline: WrestleMania XXX April 6, 2014 Mercedes-Benz Superdome New Orleans, LA This four corners tag team match for the belts is fought under elimination rules, with just two wrestlers in the ring at a given time. The early going takes a while to build steam, choosing to tell a tale of the confusion caused by…
Tag: tag team match
219.The Mountie, Repo Man, & The Nasty Boys (Brian Knobbs & Jerry Sags) (w/ Jimmy Hart) vs. Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Virgil, Big Boss Man, & Sgt. Slaughter
Timeline: WrestleMania VIII April 5, 1992 Hoosier Dome Indianapolis, IN This is basically a way to get eight guys a payday, but as thrown together popcorn matches go, it’s not the worst. Each wrestler gets a little bit of a spot. Eventually it descends in to chaos. Knobbs holds Virgil, but Virgil ducks out of…
221. Tag Team Championship: Men on a Mission (Mabel & Mo) (w/ Oscar) vs. The Quebecers (Jacques & Pierre) (w/ Johnny Polo)
Timeline: WrestleMania X March 20, 1994 Madison Square Garden New York City, NY I can’t tell you how cool I though M.O.M. was when I was 10. Maybe I was just the right age, in the right neighborhood, or whatever the case may be, but man I loved ‘em. The action to start this one…
226. Tag Team Championship: The Bodydonnas (Skip & Zip) (w/ Sunny) vs. The Godwinns (Henry O. Godwinn & Phineas I. Godwinn) (w/ Hillbilly Jim)
Timeline: WrestleMania XII March 31, 1996 Arrowhead Pond Anaheim, CA The first ever free WrestleMania match was the finals of the Tag Team Title Tournament. WrestleMania had had several dark matches for those in attendance, but WWE capitalized on this by putting this year’s match on their Free For All, a pre-show that aired on…
230. World Tag Team Championship: Carlito & Chris Masters vs. Kane & The Big Show
Timeline: WrestleMania 22 April 2, 2006 Allstate Arena Rosemont, IL The opener of WrestleMania 22 is a bit difficult to write about because it is such a generic version of a tag title match. Kane & Show use their size to establish an advantage until a short lived segment of the challengers gaining control after…
237. Tag Team Championship: The Dudley Boyz (D-Von & Bubba Ray) (w/ Stacy Keibler) vs. A.P.A. (Faarooq & Bradshaw) vs. The Hardy Boyz (Matt & Jeff) vs. Billy & Chuck
Timeline: WrestleMania X8 March 17, 2002 SkyDome Toronto, ON A great moment occurs before this match even starts. As Faarooq & Bradshaw make their way down the aisle, with only the Dudleys in the ring, Jerry Lawler states his favorite team in the WWE is in the ring. When JR asks if he means the…
238. Greg the Hammer Valentine & The Honky Tonk Man (w/ Jimmy Hart) vs. The Hart Foundation (Bret “Hitman” Hart & Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart)
Timeline: WrestleMania V April 2, 1989 Trump Plaza Atlantic City, NJ A very traditional tag match, with the heels isolating their opponents, and trying to prevent the hot tag. Eventually it comes, Anvil ends up chasing Jimmy Hart around the ring, leading him to leave his megaphone on the apron. Anvil grabs it, tosses it…
240.World Tag Team Championship: La Resistance (Renee Dupree & Rob Conway) vs. Garrison Cade & Mark Jindrack vs. The Dudley Boyz (D-Von & Bubba Ray) vs. Booker T & Rob Van Dam
Timeline: WrestleMania XX March 14, 2004 Madison Square Garden New York City, NY The World Tag Team Champions may have the all-time worst mash up theme ever. It equates to Booker T’s awful “Can You Dig It” rap with a random, screeching sample from RVD’s theme that shouts “One of a kind!” This is the…
242. The Islanders (Haku & Tama) & Bobby the Brain Heenan vs. The British Bulldogs (Davey Boy Smith & Dynamite Kid) & Koko B. Ware
Timeline: WrestleMania IV March 27, 1988 Historic Atlantic City Convention Hall Atlantic City, NJ Heenan functions as an actual wrestler, in spite of wearing an animal attack jacket to protect him from Matilda. The match is fine, but nothing special. Heenan finally starts to get his comeuppance but is saved by the match devolving to…
243.John Morrison & The Miz vs. The Colons (Carlito & Primo)
Timeline: WrestleMania 25 April 5, 2009 Reliant Stadium Houston, TX Another match that could have potentially been a match on the main card, seeing as that it was to unify the two different Tag Titles the WWE had going, but instead was pushed back to the preshow and turned in to a lumberjack match to…
244. The Usos (Jimmy Uso & Jey Uso) vs. The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray Dudley & D-Von Dudley)
Timeline: WrestleMania 32 April 3, 2016 AT&T Stadium Arlington, TX The Dudleys’ return to WrestleMania after so many years is not the most memorable appearance. The match is technically part of the preshow, but in recent years that has become more and more a part of the event itself and not something separate. However, in…
247. Dolph Ziggler & LayCool (Layla & Michelle McCool) (w/ Vickie Guerrero) vs. John Morrison, Trish Stratus, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi
Timeline: WrestleMania XXVII April 3, 2011 Georgia Dome Atlanta, GA I swear, it’s not as bad as you’re expecting. The celebrity element in full effect between bringing back the retired Trish Stratus who was a judge for the upcoming season of Tough Enough and bringing in Jersey Shore star Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi. The women attack…
