Even though modern pro wrestling bears little resemblance to the catch and greco Roman wrestling it spawned from, there's still a certain prestige to those performers who originally competed in amateur wrestling.

Both Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas had been highly decorated amateur wrestlers, particularly Benjamin, who turned down a chance to compete in the 2000 Olympics so he could pursue a career in pro wrestling.

The team earned the accolade of being at the top of Pro Wrestling Illustrated's best tag teams of 2003, and also captured the WWE tag team championship twice.

What makes them one of the top tag teams of the era: Haas and Benjamin are both advanced technical wrestlers, and Benjamin's athleticism is phenomenal. They were also underrated on the microphone, basically carrying feuds with Chris Benoit and the APA.
