#4 Edge and Christian
One of the reasons that the WWE defeated WCW in the Monday Night War was that while World Championship Wrestling relied on established talent and made little effort to develop new stars, the World Wrestling Entertainment promotion made such a tactic a priority.

It was due to this attitude that we ended up with one of the greatest gifts to tag team wrestling in history, the "Awesomeness" era of Edge and Christian. Flipping the script on the usual sour and bitter heel team, Edge and Christian were cheerful and insistent that the fans were solidly behind them, even when they were greeted by a chorus of boos.
The duo would capture the tag team gold seven times, and also made the tag division one of the most entertaining aspects of WWE in their era.
Why they were one of the top teams of the era: Edge and Christian were never amazing in-ring performers that the Dudleys were, but they were better than average. It was their personalities and ability to connect with the fans as heels that really set them apart and made them one of the best teams of the 2000s. Five-second pose indeed.
