#4 Ring Rope Wrecks Rocker's Reign

The Rockers wowed fans with their skills, but never technically won the Tag Titles.
The Rockers wowed fans with their skills, but never technically won the Tag Titles.

The Rockers were one of the most iconic tag teams of the 1980s, which is why it is so shocking that the team of Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty never held tag team gold.

That's not to say they didn't come close on several occasions, and in one instance, did win the titles, defeating the Hart Foundation for the gold.

there was one issue in the match though, which was that the ring-rope snapped mid-match, and whilst the four talented Superstars were able to carry on, this didn't sit well with the company.

Wanting to have their huge win not be tainted by the rope, the company stripped The Rockers of the gold, promising to re-shoot the title change down the line.

That second match never came and the Harts were awarded the titles back.
