Okay, so we've had the top 10 world champs of all-time, and the top 10 worst Tag-Teams of all-time. I figure it's time to add what I believe to be the all-time best tag champs. The criteria is similar to that of top 10 all-time wrestling world champs thread. As always, add your list(s) as well. Here is my list:
1. The Steiner Bros.-
The Steiner Brothers are a professional wrestling tag team consisting of real-life brothers Scott Steiner & Rick Steiner. Both men, graduates of University of Michigan, have extensive amateur wrestling backgrounds and are known for a wide variety of power moves, most notably suplexes.
Their first professional match together was in 1989 for the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA). Following the NWA, the Steiner Brothers went on to wrestle for World Championship Wrestling and the World Wrestling Federation, plus a brief stint with Extreme Championship Wrestling and appearances overseas. During this time, they won multiple World Tag Team Championships between the promotions they appeared for.
The Steiners are generally regarded, along with the Road Warriors, as the best tag-team of the nineties, with hard-hitting inventive moves, and being babyfaces for nearly 10 years.

2. The Road Warriors/L.O.D.-
The Road Warriors first teamed up in 1983. They wrestled for the National Wrestling Alliance, American Wrestling Association, All Japan Pro Wrestling, New Japan Pro Wrestling, WCW and the WWF, as well as numerous independent promotions across the United States. Their name (and to some extent, their look) was taken from the Mel Gibson movie Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior.
In the early 1980s, in NWA's Georgia Championship Wrestling, Paul Ellering had a stable called "The Legion of Doom" that included the Road Warriors, Jake "The Snake" Roberts, The Spoiler, Matt Borne, King Kong Bundy and Arn Anderson. The stable was short lived and the name "Legion of Doom" soon referred only to the Road Warriors and Ellering.
The Road Warriors were a revolutionary duo in pro wrestling and are widely considered the greatest tag-team of all time. They were amongst the first to popularize face-paint in wrestling. Their look made them famous as wrestling magazine cover boys, and their short matches filled with power moves and no-selling only helped them when they were exposed on a national stage.
They won titles all over the world, and are the only tag team in history to win the World Tag Team titles in all three of the big promotions (at the time): the AWA, NWA, and WWF. Near the end of their career, they wrestled as L.O.D. 2000 with Sunny as their manager and the third unofficial member, Droz. During the L.O.D. 2000 run, Hawk and Animal received new modern looking entrance and wrestling attire.
