#3 Tie: Hardy Boyz (Matt Hardy & Jeff Hardy) – 42 points
A big jump up to the first of two teams tied for the 3rd spot on our list. Jeff and Matt Hardy are two young guys from North Carolina with an exciting style that took the WWF/WWE by storm. The pair of high flyers would really hit their stride once they teamed up with Lita to form Team Xtreme.
The Hardyz had many managers during their first couple years in the WWF, including winning the services of Terri Runnels in a ladder match, forming the New Brood with Gangrel, as well as being managed by Fabulous Freebird Michael Hayes. However it was when the brothers teamed up with Lita that something seemed to click.
The Hardy Boyz began feuding with the Dudley Boyz and Edge & Christian in what became one of the most iconic tag team feuds in history. The teams constantly worked to one up each other, with the Hardyz providing some jaw dropping maneuvers. This all culminated in the epic triangleladder match at Wrestlemania 2000 for the tag team titles.
The Hardys would continue to team off and on in WWE and TNA, winning a total of 8 tag team championships between the two promotions. They would enjoy singles success, but never as much as their tag team performances. Their roles as innovators and risk takers endeared them to the fans during the Attitude Era, and they come in tied for third on our list of the top tag teams of all time.
