WCW featured one of the most stacked tag team rosters in the history of wrestling. At any show, fans could see The Steiner Brothers, The Outsiders, or Harlem Heat compete in different matches on one card. At the peak of the promotion, the WCW tag team titles had become some of the most coveted titles in wrestling.

Just because WCW was filled with hall of famers doesn't mean the company didn't have its fair share of bad wrestling tag teams. From the Ding Dongs to American Males, the list of awful tag teams at WCW is long. Some of those awful tag teams had at least one redeeming factor, however, as this list will examine.
10 High Voltage: They Put Cruiserweights Over
Robbie Rage and Kenny Kaos were graduates of WCW Power Plant. The two best friends didn't make a big impact at WCW but had the look of wrestling stars in the late 90s. They were known as "high dosage" backstage due to their drug usage. They were also very green in the ring.
The one redeeming factor about this forgotten tag team unit is how good they made smaller wrestlers look. Eddie Guerrero, Syxx, and Chavo Guerrero Jr. were all part of different tag team matches where High Voltage made smaller men appear as if they could dethrone big men.
9 David Flair And Crowbar: Their Unpredictability
David Flair was destined to fail following in the footsteps of his father, Ric Flair. His below-average skills as a wrestler did him no favors. Still, Flair was once one-half of the WCW Tag Team Champions with Crowbar. The entire gimmick for the wrestlers was that they were mad. That was it. Despite how bad they were as a unit, they were unpredictable, which was a nice aspect of their unit at a time when WCW was very predictable.
8 The Dynamic Dudes: Jim Cornette
Shane Douglas and Johnny Ace stumbled hard with their Dynamic Dudes tag team. They were supposed to be a new Rock 'n' Roll Express. They weren't. The two came out with skateboards even though neither knew how to skateboard. The only positive thing that can be said about this obnoxious tag team was their feud with The Midnight Express.
Jim Cornette, the manager of Midnight Express, did everything he could to try to put The Dynamic Dudes over. Even signed a contract, where he oversold his shock when the Dudes tricked him into a match against Shane Douglas in an Anything Goes Match.
7 Creative Control: Their Names
Creative Control is often considered the worst WCW tag team champion of all time. The Harris Twins were twin brothers that had the look of wrestlers but were below average in the ring. Nothing their WCW tag team unit, Creative Control, did was noteworthy.
The two were named "Gerald" and "Patrick" in the tag team, which was a shot at Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco, Vince McMahon's right-hand men. It was either a great choice or an ironic one to have one of the worst tag teams in the history of WCW named after two people from an opposing company.
6 Men At Work: Great Wrestlers
Mark Starr and Chris Kanyon had great chemistry as a unit. They were given a horrible tag team gimmick that might force some fans to forget how great they worked as a team. Men At Work was formed at a time when occupational gimmicks were everywhere.

Instead of relating to "everyman", the gimmick was so cartoonish that it made both Mark Starr and Chris Kanyon look bad. Despite their appeal, the two put on great matches that outperformed their tag team gimmick.
5 KroniK: Powerhouse Tag Team
By 2000, most tag team act at WCW immediately flopped. The fans were frustrated with the content and the bad ideas were endless. WCW introduced KroniK at Spring Stampede 2000. Bryan Clark and Brian Adams intrigued audiences upon arrival in the company, as they were two big men who would destroy their opponents. KroniK also had an interesting feud with Goldberg. They were dominated by him after a few short weeks, but the potential was there.
4 Fire And Ice: Their Matches
Scott Norton and Ice Train formed a short-lived WCW tag team that didn't work well. Ice Train has said he was a big part of their issues as a unit. Although they didn't achieve much success, the two put on some high-intensity matches. Their bouts against The Steiner Brothers (Rick Steiner & Scott Steiner) were particularly special. There was a lot of potential wasted on Fire and Ice as a unit.
3 The Public Enemy: Their Entrance
The duo of Flyboy Rocco Rock and Johnny Grunge found success at ECW that failed to translate well at other companies. Their time at WCW was brief and they were largely overshadowed by other units like the nWo who had just formed.

Although they had their fair share of above-average matches, Public Enemy is often best remembered for their entrance. Fans would instantly start waving their hands the second Public Enemy's entrance music dropped. Overall, their time at WCW wasn't great, but their entrance always got a pop.
2 Bret Hart And Goldberg: No One Saw Them Coming
WCW's decision to give Bret Hart and Goldberg the tag team titles were beyond confusing. They were in a feud that led to their infamous match at Starrcade 1999. Not a single person expected two babyface stars would join forces in the lead-up to their match. They came out of nowhere and won the WCW Tag Championships.
By this time, WCW had become predictable and this was a shocking wrinkle that kept fans intrigued. In typical WCW fashion, it did nothing to further the storyline between the two.
1 Boogie Nights: They Got The Crowd Going
Alex Wright & Disco Inferno were mid-card wrestlers who are remembered as a "joke" tag team unit in WCW. There wasn't much to their gimmick outside of the fact that they danced. Although they didn't achieve much at WCW, they were great at getting the crowd going. Their disco moves helped them become a likable unit that was bad but in a fun way.
