WWE History Vol. 24 - Great Tag Team Rivalries

#6. The Mega Powers vs. the Mega Bucks.

At the very first SummerSlam, the Mega Powers (Hulk Hogan and Macho Man Randy Savage) took on the MegaBucks (Andre the Giant and Ted Dibiase.)

There may be no way to adequately describe just how thrilling The Mega Powers were to someone who didn't live through the era.

It was like King Kong teaming up with Godzilla to form the ultimate tag team combination. Once again, this rivalry did not revolve around the tag team titles but rather had to do with the hatred all four men had for each other.

The Mega Powers were a named team almost from the get go, but it took over a year before Andre the Giant and Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase became known as the Mega Bucks.

The two teams faced each other many times, but most notably at the very first-ever SummerSlam. While Hogan and Savage were undoubtedly a powerful duo, the sheer size of Andre and the devious nature of Dibiase had them on the ropes.

Thanks to a quick strip-tease by Miss Elizabeth, the Mega Bucks were distracted long enough for the Mega Powers to pick up the win.

Two tag teams, four legends, four Hall of Fame talents. This is probably the ultimate tag team rivalry in all of WWE history — for now. Who knows what the future may bring? Will we ever see the tag team division of WWE grow as hot as it was during the Classic era?

Only time will tell.
