Professional wrestling offers so many types of matches that the opportunities for fans to witness are endless. One of wrestling's biggest fixtures has always been tag team wrestling, which features many exciting match-ups. However, given the size of the WWE roster in various eras, it can be difficult to remember some of the teams that have been featured before.
During WWE's most famous era, there were more tag teams than fans could count. The Attitude Era did feature some of wrestling's most talked about moments, but there were more than enough tag teams that slipped through the cracks.
10 The Public Enemy
In the world of Extreme Championship Wrestling, Public Enemy was an important fixture in the company. As one of the first attractions for ECW, they helped begin the spark of what would be an important time of growth for the company.
Ultimately - like many other members of the ECW roster in the late 1990s - Public Enemy received offers from other promotions and jumped ship. While both Rocco Rock and Johnny Grunge were in WCW for several years, they had a very unmemorable stint in WWE that only lasted a handful of matches.
9 Lo-Down
When two singles wrestlers who are treading water on their own, they are sometimes thrown into a tag team. While there are numerous examples of this creating magic and revitalizing those wrestlers' careers, that is not always the case, particularly in the case of Lo-Down.
While Chaz was a successful member of The Headbangers and D'lo Brown accomplished great things as a singles star, their tag team stint was a dud. Despite spending almost two years as a team, their run is widely forgotten by almost all fans.
8 Cactus Jack & Chainsaw Charlie
Sometimes wrestlers are considered legends in either the singles or tag team divisions, but there have been few wrestlers who are able to achieve success in both. Given their legendary status, both Terry Funk and Mick Foley were able to accomplish great things in both divisions.
Unfortunately, they were not able to create that magic when they worked together in 1998. When Funk joined WWE as Chainsaw Charlie with Cactus Jack to take on D-Generation X, it quickly fell apart for them and is one of the most unmemorable points from both of their careers.
7 Los Conquistadores
When Los Conquistadores showed up during an episode of Monday Night RAW in 2000, fans were incredibly confused. However, they were unmasked on both occasions to be a combination of both Edge and Christian and The Hardy Boyz, who disguised themselves as the comical tag team to win the World Tag Team Championship.
The actual Los Conquistadores tag team was a small fixture of WWE in the late 1980s and was mainly used as cannon fodder for larger tag teams. The goofy tag team did not accomplish much during their run, but did have their likeness included in the Attitude Era.
6 Spike Dudley & Tazz
Even if a tag team holds a championship together, that does not necessarily make them memorable in the eyes of fans. Considering the number of tag teams who have held championships, it can be easy to forget those that were not long-time partners together.
While Spike Dudley and Tazz do have a history from ECW, they had never teamed together prior to an episode of Monday Night RAW in 2002. However, they were still able to defeat The Dudley Boyz for the World Tag Team Championship. Unfortunately for them, they were only able to hold the titles for a month and are not widely remembered.
5 The New Blackjacks
Prior to John Bradshaw Layfield becoming a member of The Acolytes next to Faarooq, he had a short stint as a member of a famous tag team. Unfortunately for JBL, his tag team experience prior to teaming up with Faarooq was not a very memorable one for fans.
Teaming alongside Barry Windham, they formed The New Blackjacks. Intentionally trying to bring back the look and feel of the famous tag team that began in the 1970s, they worked hard to gain the loyalty of fans. Thankfully for Bradshaw, he was able to quickly pivot out of this and become a part of a much more famous tag team in his career.
4 D'Lo Brown & The Godfather

Successful singles wrestlers do not always make good tag team stars. However, since the Attitude Era had so many wrestlers on the roster, it was sometimes a necessity in order for wrestlers to get television time.
Unfortunately, the team of D'lo Brown and The Godfather did not make headlines with their tag team. Beyond D'lo changing his look to match The Godfather during their time together, their experience was largely forgettable.
3 The Blue Meanie & Goldust
When weird recognizes weird, it can sometimes create great magic in the wrestling ring. When it comes to abnormal, there were no characters that were stranger than Goldust and The Blue Meanie.
Considering how different these two wrestlers were in comparison to the rest of the roster, their pairing seems like it would be a natural fit. Unfortunately, the team never took off together, and they never even had a televised tag team match together on Monday Night RAW during their short stint together.
2 Road Dogg & K-Kwik
For wrestling fans that remember smaller moments from the Attitude Era, they may remember when WWE produced songs to put out into the world. What fans may not remember, is that the song "Get Rowdy" was a result of a short-lived tag team of WWE legends.
Before he became R-Truth, he was known as K-Kwik and teamed with Road Dogg. Their team was short-lived and is not often remembered, particularly because they both became a part of much more famous tag teams in their careers.
1 Haku & Rikishi
When two big and tough wrestlers get together to create a powerful tag team, there is such high potential for it to be a very big deal. Intimidating, power-house tag teams have the ability to rule a tag team division if they catch on.
Fans of hard-hitting wrestlers were excited when Rikishi and Haku were put together as a short-lived tag team in 2001, but they were left disappointed. Following only a few matches, they split apart and Haku was released, which means very few fans remember them working together.
