Top 10 tag teams of the 1980s

The Freebirds were one of the biggest draws in wrestling history

#4 The Rock and Roll Express

Yes, the R and R Express STILL get between the ropes on occasion.

One of the longest-tenured tag teams in history, the Rock N Roll Express have remained together for most of their wrestling careers.

Ricky Morton possibly pioneered the 'babyface in peril' role for tag matches and was famous for his ability to sell any move like he'd been shot. By the time a battered and beaten Ricky finally made the tag to Robert Gibson, the crowd would explode with excitement.

Always babyfaces, the Rock and Roll Express is perhaps the most beloved tag team of all time, with fans lining up in droves to see them even in 2018.
