Women's wrestling has always had an interesting place in the continuum of professional wrestling's past and present. There have been moments where women's wrestling has been featured in a prominent position like the main event of Wrestlemania and a women's only pay-per-view. There have been times where women's wrestling was nothing more than an afterthought.

During those times the Tag-Team division in women's wrestling has had an even more interesting place. In WWE the division was abandoned in 1989 until 2018. Women's tag wrestling, however, has been popular in other places. Here are 10 tag teams you might have forgotten.

10 Jumping Bomb Angels

The Jumping Bomb Angles, comprised of Noriyo Tateno and Itsuki Yamazaki, were definitely ahead of their time. They were one of the first--and few--tag teams to use tandem offense as part of their matches. That includes male wrestlers. In addition to tandem offense, the Jumping Bomb Angels were one of the few tag teams to wear elaborate matching gear to the ring. Often using a double splash to defeat their opponents, the Angles were high flying innovators as well. 

9 Glamour Girls

All great babyfaces need heels. In the 1980s there was no better heel women's tag team than Leilani Kai and Judy Martin more famously known as the Glamour Girls. They were a great tag team in the NWA, and their transition to WWE was seamless.

They are the only two-time women's tag team champions--a record that still stands--and were the perfect foil to the Jumping Bomb Angels and Wendy Richter/Rockin Robin. Leilani Kai would go on to find singles success after the Glamour Girls and would be one of the most decorated women in WWE history.

8 Divas of Doom

Though short-lived, the Divas of Doom were trailblazers during the Divas era. They were "pin-up" strong. Beth Phoenix and Natalya Neidhardt were the anti-divas. What made their run in WWE so important as they were the precursor to the "Women's Evolution." They were not models; they were trained wrestlers. Their great rivals--LayCool--were the perfect foils. Though LayCool had model good looks, they were no slouches in the ring. That made them perfect for the Divas of Doom. After they dispatched LayCool, they turned on the audience and turned heel. It was a perfect turn as they decided to lay waste to every model turned Diva in WWE.

7 Crush Gals

One of the more antiquated notions about women in professional wrestling is they can't draw fans and money the way men can. People who hold that idea have never seen nor heard of the Crush Gals. All Japan Pro wrestling is one of the largest companies in the history of Japanese wrestling. The Crush Gals--Nagayo and Asuka--were arguably the biggest stars in the history of the company. Their popularity completely destroyed the notion Japanese fans are traditionally silent. Fans in every stadium across Japan would scream their heads off when cheering for the 'Gals. Much like wrestling stars of today, the Crush Gals were huge crossover stars. They recorded a wrestling single that sold over 100,000 copies.

6 LayCool

During the Divas era in WWE, women's wrestling was not taken nearly as seriously as it is now. It was a series of 2-minute matches or--even worse--gimmick matches. Whether it be pillow fights or bra and panties matches, women were not seen as wrestlers during this time. There were a few exceptions to this rule; LayCool was one of those exceptions.

Michelle McCool and Layla El were outstanding singles stars in their own right, but they were quite the force when they were together. LayCool was the perfect bridge between Ruthless Aggression and the Divas. Both were Diva search entrants with athletic backgrounds. Layla was a dancer and McCool played basketball and softball. Both members of LayCool could work in the ring as well. That allowed them to play the "mean girls" role, but also work effectively against babyface foes like the Divas of Doom and Mickie James.

5 The Beautiful People

Angelina Love and Velvet Sky might be the two best women's wrestlers that never worked or WWE. Their tag-team/stable, the Beautiful People, was one of the most over gimmicks in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling in the mid-2000s. Love and Sky were the original pair and they added the likes of Madison Rayne and Lacey Von Erich were part of the stable in latter years. They were the perfect combination of beauty and wrestling acumen. Like most things in life, timing is everything. The timing of the Beautiful People could not have been better. They came along in TNA wrestling when their women's division--the Knockouts--was just gaining steam. They needed heels and the Beautiful People fit perfectly.

4 The Chickbusters

The Chickbusters, AJ Lee and Kaitlyn, were one of the first "call-ups" from NXT during its infancy. Their call-up to the main roster signaled the beginning of "The Women's Evolution." Their arrival signaled the beginning of the end of the Divas era in WWE. What made Lee and Kaitlyn believable was their real-life friendship. They came up through developmental together and were rivals during their time in NXT. Like the Bruiser and Crusher back in the day, Kaitlyn and AJ Lee figured out quickly they were better together. While they were a team they ran roughshod through the Divas division in 2011 until Kaitlyn retired in 2014. Her last match; a retirement match against AJ Lee.

3 The Beauty Pair

During the golden era of wrestling, women were not featured. They were attractions like Battle Royals or midget-wrestling. One of the few places in the 1970s and 1980s that thought women's wrestling could draw was Japan; more specifically All Japan Pro Wrestling. If the Crush Gals were the most popular tag-team ever in All-Japan, The Beauty Pair comes in a close second.

They might even have an argument for being the best tag-team in AJPW history. Just like the Glamour Gals, the Beauty Pair were also crossover stars. They had a recording contract with RCA and recorded very popular music in the 1970s proving their crossover appeal. The ladies of All Japan made the rock and wrestling connection a decade before the WWF did.

2 Team Bestie

One important element of relationships in professional wrestling is volatility. One of the more volatile relationships in professional wrestling is between Lita and Trish Stratus. They were rivals through most of the attitude era, they came together in 2001 during the invasion angle. They teamed and took on teams from WCW and ECW. They teamed off and on after the invasion and took on some of the best women during that era like Molly Holly, Ivory, Jazz, and Jacqueline. The highlight of their tag-team run was a battle of the sexes match in 2003 against Chris Jericho and Christian.

1 The Funkadactyls

This tag-team's purpose ended up being the launching pad for future WWE women's champion Naomi. They started as background dancers for Broadus Clay in 2012. The history of Naomi and Cameron start before this, however. Cameron participated in the Tough Enough competition and Naomi started in the old WWE developmental territory FCW. They were known then as the Booty-Poppin dance group during their time in FCW. After their run with Clay, they branched out and had a great rivalry with the Bella Twins. Even more importantly than that, they became two of the initial cast members on the popular E! show Total Divas.
