    What Tag-team had the most success going solo?

    This includes both partners, not just one.

    The only team that comes to mind right now is Edge and Christian. The Hardys no, 3D no, Steiners no, LOD/Warriors no,

    Probably Edge and Christian by default. You'd have to go way back to the team of Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard to find the next best as Arn had a very solid solo career as well as Tully (tho most of his success was before he teamed with Arn)

    hmm i'm trying to think of some more....Crusher Lisowski and Dick the Bruiser held the AWA tag straps in the '60s and both had very good solo careers as well.

        The Outsiders (Scott hall and Kevin Nash)... if they count as a real tag team.

          Agreed. They beat out Edge and Christian imo. I would love to see some video of the Blade Runners if anyone has any.

                Edge and Christian and I don't think it's close if we are going by tag teams who weren't already stars when they were together.

                  Yup. It's hard to argue against Edge and Christian.

                    It's a shame HHH got injured when they started up the Two Man Ego Trip tag team with SCSA. I have to believe they would've tried to update that old Mega Powers angle. Parts of it was pretty adult for the time period with Macho Man going batshat on Hogan backstage at one event (I think Summerslam? It might've been SNME) It was so real too and it seemed like Liz was not faking being freaked out.

                      It was SNME in February where the team blew up...

                        Thanks, again that was some of the most intense stuff for that era of WWF.

                        BTW here's another tag team that just leaped to my mind.

                        Scott Hall/Curt Hennig

                        They tagged in AWA and I think were in contention for the titles for a while there.

                          They won them.

                          This is a tough one. Other than who's been named, the only ones left I can think of right now are The Texas Outlaws -- Dusty Rhodes and Dick Murdoch.

                            The Rockers, I think Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty both hit about the same level

                              Jannetty could have gone big if he didn't end up breaking that kid's neck.
