I totally disagree with the Stevie Ray saying he wasn't a star he was bigger and if Mchman brought him over he couldve been a bigger bad news brown or take Ron Simon's spot on the nation and fight the rock .
Bret Hitman Hart forever remembered as the pioneer to open a door for technical wrestlers and the one who transits the best way from tag team to single star.
Honorable mentions: 1. Jeff Hardy. Yes, he and brother Matt both had successful singles and tag careers. Both even held the world title in Total Nonstop Action. But because Jeff was also WWE and World Heavyweight Champion in WWE, I am going with him. 2. Johnny Nitro aka John Morrison. After the breakup of MNM with Joey Mercury, John would go on to win championships in WWE, Lucha Underground, and Impact. These include the WWE Intercontinental title, Impact World title, and LU World title. 3. Eddie Edwards. After the American Wolves split in Impact, Edwards became a Triple Crown Champion, having already held the tag team titles with Davey Richards but now winning the world and X-Division title.
That being said it was Matt who completely reinvented himself in TNA and singlehandedly put the Hardys back on the map. It's unfortunate that he is still being underappreciated to this day.
Ok I change what I said. I said Harry's best Tage team that had great solo runs. Totally forgot about Sting and U.W. they both had great singles runs too
"A sack of bowling balls covered in a thin layer of human skin." gave me a legitimate laugh out loud moment over lunch today. F A N T A S T I C phrasing. That's head canon now and will be referenced anytime my friends and I bring up Steiner in our wrestling convos.
Christian's iconic TNA run made me believe in that TNA was gonna be the most exciting company for years. Unfortunately the company didn't capitalize on it. Glad Christian is still going strong in AEW too! Hope to see Christian vs Edge in a big Wrestlemania match before they're done somehow.
I agree Christian could been pushed to the heights of Edge I thought when he tuned heel after he lost the belt to Orton was really good but they fucked his title run I'm still waiting for ONE MORE MATCH damn he was good he still is on AEW I'm hoping him and Jericho start Team Canada 2.0 with Kenny Omega and Julia Hart maybe as the female
@@gregpaxton3473 Yes, someone who's one of the absolute best in the ring and on the mic has no talent. Sure, keep speaking things into existence! You're just pulling things out of your ass at this point 😅 Kurt Angle calls Christian the most underrated wrestler ever, says he's on par with Edge and the best match finish planner out of the whole group. But Kurt Angle doesn't know wrestling like you do right? 🤡
@@gregpaxton3473No he fucking wasn't! If you weren't such a wwe sycophant and actually fucking watched Impact when Cage made he debut you would see that there is nothing mid card about him!!!
Scott Steiner was fucking wild when I was younger. Seeing that specimen on a weekly basis was quite the spectacle. Dude had muscles on his muscles and had one hell of a personality and could carry a show himself. hell, the guy made late WCW and TNA must-see TV honestly.
Booker T because he shined as a single star a six-time world heavyweight two-time WWE Hall of famer and a triple crown champion in two different promotions come y'all
Christian and Bully Ray are so great at being trash talking heels Amazing how they had so much history with eachother and were both tag team guys And went on to achieve so much outside of WWE
Here are a few honorable mentions: Christian Cage: In wwe he was a mid card, but when he apoeared in impact wrestling, he proved that he was main event material, by winning the NWA championship 2 times, and having great matches against AJ, Joe, Kaz and even Sting. Josh Alexander: An underrated pick but someone who proved himself. After his tag team with All ego ethan page ended, Josh began a successful singles career, going from winning the X division championship to winning the Impact world championship two times. His second reign was even better, as he became the longest reigning champion in the history of Impact wrestling. Prince Devitt: After he split from his tag partner Taguchi in njpw, he became the leader and founding member of Bullet Club, which would become the most influential faction in modern wrestling and lead to the birth of AEW. And when he signed with wwe, Devitt became Finn Balor and would become a two time nxt champion, 2 time IC champion, one time US champion, the first Universal champion and the leader of the Judgment day.
Bret Hart was the reason I started watching pro wrestling to begin with. Yes I loved the Hart Foundation and Jim the anvil Neidhart but Bret just looked so cool and his technical ability was never in doubt. It did not surprise me at all when he became a singles star but being the first to win all three major titles in the WWE did.
I was the same way, I loved Bret Hart. He was always so cool. But, even though they marketed Bret as the first triple crown champ back then, that honor goes to pedro Morales (WWF, ic, and tag titles). In fact, he was the first grand slam champ if you count the old wwwf u.s. title
I Know Edge Was The Better Out Of Edge & Christian but I kinda prefer Christian Cage due to his mid 2000's TNA run and current AEW run and It was cool he retired the TNA World Heavyweight Title
Agreed. The trio of tag teams that invented a match style so insane it went on to become a PPV in of itself should have representation here. All 6 of those men had excellent and successful solo careers. People looking back don’t understand how over the HB’z truly were at their pinnacle. Honestly, they are to aerial wrestling what Hitman and HBK are to technical wrestling.
WWE "For your new gimmick, just be yourself" JBL "Okay..." *Becomes one of the most hated heels in the company*...you almost feel sorry for him when it's said like that 😅
“When Scott Steiner discovered steroids and started transforming into a sack of bowling balls covered by a thin layer of human skin…” Gaht dayumn. Let that boy live! Bwahahaha
He was a solid 9/10 hell, reminded me of Rick Rude in some ways. Probably not the greatest but anyone who claims he didn't piss them off back in the day is lying.
I’d love if someone acknowledged that Scott Steiner wasn’t that much bigger when he went solo. He was MASSIVE even in the early 90’s. By 99 he did grow but the dude was always made of granite.
What about the Skyscrapers? That team appeared in WCW in 1989/1990 in three forms. The first form included Sid Vicious, the second a guy called Mark Calaway in real life. I think Mark also had a nice solo career later. 🙂
You got Booker T's WCW accolades out of order. He became a 5 time WCW Champion, AFTER the buy out. And Technically before the buy out, he was only a 3 time WCW champion, he won his 4th on the final Nitro which was under WWE ownership at that point Also you said Edge "come 2004, would be WWE Champion"....his first win of the WWE championship was the first Money in the bank cash in, being done in 2006
Ok, now do a list about the other halves, the ones who only got success when they had a massively talented partner to fall back on and floundered like a Magikarp the second their partnerships ended.
I wasn’t really blown over by main event Jay USO. Couldn’t see any change to his character personally. Never felt like change other people on this list went through to really stick out
Insane you had 80s tag teams that produced iconic singles stars bret hart, Shawn Michaels and my all time favourite davey boy smith still remembering going to the nec and seeing him beat the repo man
Edge and Christian were the greatest tag team ever. They only helt the tag titles together 7 times with a combined count of over 30 other title reigns between them.
Hey Andy can you do a video on the different wwe belts and their importance such as the hard-core, heavyweight, international, USA, cruiserweight and wwe championship, please and rank them as which one was seen as to hold the most prestige.
Honourable mention to Scott Norton. His first taste of gold in NJPW was with Hércules Hernández; some years later, when he was fully dedicated to Japan in the nWo, he became the IWGP champion after Masahiro Chono was forced to vacate the belt.
@@SnipingIsFun the only time Matt was even considered a top star was TNA Jeff has been the top brother for forever Bradshaw making this list over Jeff hardy is insane
I don't know if there any truth to this but before Yokozuna won the 1993 Royal Rumble but there was word that Scott Steiner was not only win the 1993 Royal Rumble but also the WWF title but Vince did not want to break up the Steiner Brothers.
JBL wasn't really a tag team wrestler anyway. He became a tag team wrestler because he was the 90s version of Baron Corbin. Vince liked him but he was useless at everything. The JBL character worked so well because Vince just let him go out there and be himself and he's such a giant douchebag anyway, it made for a great heel character.
Yeah, except it wasn’t a success. His entire solo run, much like Cobin’s later on, had ratings tanking, ticket sales down, and everyone clammering to get rid of him. The only thing JBL’s soli run shows is the secret to being ass at what you do and have look like sucess because you kiss Vinnie Mac’s ass while stroking his ego.
Best has to go to HBK, dude had two full careers. Most improved has to be JBL, he had no right to be champ but he made the most of it as a pretty great heel.
Best Tag teams to ever go solo are the Hardys, edge and Christian, the blade runners(ultimate warrior and sting). All went solo and had great singles runs.
This focus only on WWE teams and wrestler's who worked for this Federation there are teams from every Federation from 80's,90's, 2000's,2010's and 2020's who had great single run the list is long but they would never tell us or show us
The Enforcer Arn Anderson not being on this list is a big miss. In addition to multiple reigns as one half of the WCW World Tag Team Champions (2 with Tully Blanchard, 1 with Larry Zbyszko, 1 with Bobby Eaton and 1 with Paul Roma) and one WWF Tag Team championship (with Tully Blanchard), he is also a 4 time WCW World Television champion. Also not including Jeff Hardy is another miss.
Christian should be o here just as much as Edge. Christian had been a champion at every promotion. WWE 3 times Worlds champion , TNA Champion like 4 times including as recently as 2021,Even AEW. Edge what has he done since then only win a Royal Rumble, no titles. Then get kicked out a faction he started.
Also this always gets me but I always disliked when a tag team splits up and one member becomes a star and one doesn't is know as the Marty of the team. My take on that is the Heart Foundation split up first and Jim the Anvil never won a singles title but Marty has so should it be know as the Jim Neidhart of the team.
You mention here that the entire lineage of modern high-flying wrestling can be attributed to The Dynamite kid, but in your aerial assassin video that I recently watched, he doesn't even get a mention. What's up with that?
Honestly I’m more interested in seeing what jimmy can do on his own. It’s pretty obvious that jey is more conditioned and motivated in a different way than jimmy. So I’m curious to see if jimmy can live up to the standards that his little brother set.
I never got the chance to watch WCW in its prime, cause I didn't get into wrestling till 2003, long after WCW went defunct. However, if there is a missed opportunity that bugs me till today, it's the fact that we never got a proper Rick vs Scott match to definitively answer who is the better brother. The Steiner Brothers had a tough reputation, and their gimmick works cause there was some legitimacy to their real personas. The funny thing was that initially, people were pegging Rick to be the breakout star, but as it turned out, both brothers were able to carve out unique looks, and were able to back it up with their charisma (although for Scott, that is debatable, but you can't deny he had a unique vibe as Big Poppa Pump). Cause of this, a match between the two would not only be good marketing, but WCW botched it by needlessly getting Buff Bagwell involved. One match was all the fans (myself as a late one included) wanted, but we quite got it. And probably never will, cause both Steiner Brothers are in their 60s, and neither are in any shape to wrestle a full match any more.
I liked Steiner brothers when they were together but hated Scott Steiner. I hated the Papa Pump character. Always thought he was lame. He was the least of the NWO guys.
Also you could put that best of 7 in WCW with Booker v Benoit and put it up against any series in Japan Mexico or America and it hold up today as prolly the best series of Matches of all time fuck they had some monster matches Booker T is def number 3 behind Bret and Shawn to me easily

Bret Hitman Hart forever remembered as the pioneer to open a door for technical wrestlers and the one who transits the best way from tag team to single star.
Bret Hart had a beautiful blend of technical wrestling and brawling. One of the best.
I couldn't agree more. He was a master technician and made everything work so fluidly. Executes excellently.
Warrior was much more technical 😂😂
He just wasn't good on the promos
Bret the Shitman Fart was ok I guess

Also had a fantastic name : Blade Runners
“ Main Event “ Jey Uso was cool because we are so used to him and Jimmy teaming together. It’s cool that Jey got his own spotlight for a bit

Dude, how could you miss Jeff Hardy on this list? LOL! You included Edge (who had a successful partner of his own in Christian) so why not Jeff?
Big Poppa Pump is your hook up
Holla if you hear him 💪
Is there another example other than edge and Christian where after a long time tag team broke up and both went on to do well as singles?
The Hardys
Not technically tag team but SHIELD members all went on to become top main event players...
I guess you never heard of The Hollywood Blondes?
Christian had a pretty good solo run as well. And stull going..
Please next do a video titled Ring General: The Gunther Story.
3:03 I like how he specifies "western wrestlers" because there's a long list of Japanese wrestlers who clear Bret
You can go ahead and use the word "steroids" when describing Scott Steiner's transition from tag to singles.
