There is a true art to tag-team wrestling.
Whilst in a singles match, Superstars know their own strengths and weaknesses, being a tag star requires much more skill, a sense of trust as well as an extensive knowledge of both your partner and your opponents.
Failing to have this level of trust has broken up many great teams, with some Superstars going on to bigger things, and others are forgotten.
But in the annals of WWE history, there have been some truly bizarre pairings, with Superstars who had great success on their own and hoped to become equally as successful as tag team Superstars.
Here are five strange WWE tag teams you probably don't remember, how they came around, and how successful they went on to be as a pair.
#5: Owen Hart and Yokozuna
Standing at 6-foot 4 and weighing in at nearly 600lbs, Yokozuna was literally one of wrestling's stars during the 1990s.
But by 1995, the Samoan star's career was waning but was thrust back to prominence when he was revealed as Owen Hart's mystery partner at WrestleMania 11 to take on the Smoking Gunns.
Defeating Bart and Billy for the tag team titles, Hart would bring an incredible athletic ability to the group, whilst Yoko brought brute force.
Led by Jim Cornette, the pair would enjoy great success, becoming two-time WWF Tag Team Champions during their tenure together.
This run, unfortunately, would not last long, as after three months of teaming, the pair split, with Owen forming a tag team with the British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith, and Yokozuna returning to being a singles wrestler.
#4: Rated RKO
By the summer of 2006, Edge had already established himself as a main event star, winning the WWE Championship twice that year.
Similarly, Randy Orton had proven himself as a singles performer, becoming the youngest World Heavyweight Champion two years prior, and having major feuds against the likes of Triple H and The Undertaker.
Despite this, the two were made into a tag-team, and were actually created to give a credible threat to the recently reunited D-Generation X.
Dubbing themselves Rated RKO, the pair did just that, being a thorn in DX's side, though came up short at Survivor Series in classic 5-on-5 tag team elimination match action.
Edge and Orton would get the last laugh though, as at New Year's Revolution 2007, the Game suffered a real injury during a tag match, that'd force him to miss WrestleMania 23.
#3: Spike Dudley and Tazz
As a Dudley, you'd expect Spike Dudley to know a thing or two about tag team action.
But always in the shadow of his brothers Bubba Ray and D-Von, the much larger pair would often deliver tough love to the runt of the family, as Spike became focussed on finding a partner to get some payback on his brothers.
In January 2002, that partner was Tazz, as the pair were able to upset Bubba and D-Von in a Hardcore tag title match to win the gold.
Successfully retaining the titles against the Dudleyz at the Royal Rumble later that month, the group would hold the gold for little over a month, before losing the gold to Billy and Chuck on SmackDown in February, though nothing could ever take away the win Spike has over his brothers.
#2: Booker T and Test
The InVasion was a strange transitional time in the wrestling world.
Whilst the WWF had once had competition in the form of WCW and ECW, now the McMahon-based promotion now had complete control over everything, and nothing standing in their way.
The InVasion, which saw WCW and ECW stars attempt to destroy the WWF, led to some bizarre pairings, including Booker T and Test.
Teaming on the November 1, 2001, edition of RAW, the pair were able to dethrone the equally unlikely pair of Chris Jericho and The Rock, sending a strong message to the entire WWF roster just weeks ahead of the final showdown between the WWF and the Alliance at Survivor Series.
Their reign lasted 13 days, before the titles were brought back home to the Fed, thanks to the Hardy Boys.
#1: The Rock and The Undertaker
Two of Wrestling's biggest ever stars, The Rock and The Undertaker are best known for their respective singles careers, which including many, many reigns as World Champion.
But in late 2000, the pair were somehow able to get along enough to become WWF Tag Team Champions.
Meeting Edge and Christian on the December 18, edition of Monday Night RAW, the Deadman and the Brahma Bull attempted to one-up each other, after facing off earlier that month in the first-ever 6-Man Hell in a Cell match for the WWF Championship at Armageddon.
Unfortunately, this reign did not last long as the pair of Canadians would win back their tag titles the very next night, thanks in part to their good friend and special guest referee, reigning WWF Champion Kurt Angle.
