What held them together as a Team: A mutual hatred of Bret Hart (Owen's brother) as well as a penchant for rule-breaking.

Talk about your sizzle and steak.

Owen Hart brought the speed and high flying to this unlikely but highly successful tandem, while Yokozuna was the obvious muscle.

But the big man was an underrated scientific performer, and for whatever reason meshed very well with Owen. They began as a unit because Owen wanted a partner that would shock the world, and especially his hated rival--and own brother--Bret Hart.

He picked the last man to cleanly pin the Hitman as his partner, which had to sting his brother's pride. The duo went on to be two-time tag team champions, and despite being opposites had great chemistry.

They managed to score two WWE world tag team championship reigns, the first of which was for an impressive 175 days. Not too shabby for an odd couple tandem.
