#2: The Dudley Boyz (D-Von Dudley & Bubba Ray Dudley) – 51 points

The Dudley Boyz are recognized as one of, if not the most, decorated tag team in the history of wrestling. They are 23 time tag team champions in a number of promotions, holding the WWE, WWF, ECW, WCW, NWA, TNA & IWGP Tag Team Championships at varying points.

That is simply astounding.
The Dudleys may be most famous for their time in ECW and WWF/E. They went from part of a comedic stable to the cornerstone of the tag team division for Paul Heyman’s promotion, winning the tag belts 8 times between 1996 and 1999. The team began their love affair with tables in ECW as well, including famously using flaming tables and putting Spike Dudley though them at Heatwave in 1999.

The Dudleys would then make the jump to the WWF/E and were a part of one of the brightest eras for tag team wrestling in history. The team’s affinity for tables combined with their feud with the Hardy Boyz and Edge & Christian lead to the creation of the TLC match: Tables, Ladders & Chairs. They would win the second of these matches at Wrestlemania X-7. They won a total of ten Tag Team Title reigns with the WWF/E, and were named Pro Wrestling Illustrated’s Tag Team of the Decade for the first decade of the 2000s.
