Top 10 tag teams of the 1980s

The Freebirds were one of the biggest draws in wrestling history

#8 The Sheepherders

Widely regarded as one of the craziest, meanest, and toughest teams on the 1980s wrestling scene, the Sheepherders (Sometimes referred to as the New Zealand Sheepherders due to the patriotic 1980s climate to stir up heel heat) faced every team of note from the Fantastics to the Road Warriors.

Their old-school toughness and propensity for brawling, as well as their lunatic appearance and mannerisms, made them stand out as much as their wrestling ability--which was top notch.

Unlike many other tag teams, the Sheepherders never broke up, and still make non-wrestling appearances today as a unit. Later, they were called the Bushwhackers when they joined WWE, but the faux Outback Australian team never met with the success of the Sheepherders.
