4. New Age Outlaws
Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls and children of all ages. I proudly present to you, your #4 best WWE Tag Team Champions of the World! “The Road Dogg” Jesse James, “The Bad Ass” Billy Gunn: The New Age Outlaws. Next on the list is the most charismatic team of the entire attitude era. Hence why they came in so high on the list. The Outlaws was one team that paved the way for the non-gimmicky tag teams. There weren’t too many tag teams that could hold a candle to this team. This was one great tag team, in one great era of the WWE.
Before they came together to be a team, Road Dogg and Gun were in meaningless feuds together. Rather than continue on in feuds that wouldn’t help them, Road Dogg and Gunn teamed up to form the Outlaws. The team quickly became heels; winning matches by any mean necessary. As a result of their fast rise in the division, they got a title match with L.OD. Because of their cheating ways, the New Age Outlaws were able to secure their first championship together. After the championship win, they continued to feud with L.O.D. and even joined with the popular Degeneration-X. It was during this union with D-X that the Outlaws popularity would soar.
The Outlaws were tag team champions a total of six times. Finally getting one last run as a team with gold in 2014. The New Age Outlaws had a combined reign 505 days. They are one of the best tag teams champions because of what they accomplish during the Monday Night Wars and in the Attitude Era. Without them where would the division be?
