#9 The Rockers
Even before he was The Showstopper, Shawn Michaels was stealing the show. He just had Marty Jannetty to accompany him. The original free-agent hotness of the Tag Team division, The Rockers’ fast-paced style and eye-popping look made them a top tandem in every promotion they set foot in, including WWE.
There’s a chance they’d have been thrilling audiences for decades after their arrival, had HBK not blown up like Krakatoa and ditched Jannetty for the solo spotlight. The implosion lives on in infamy even now, but like everything they did, it was impossible to look away.
