TSC Tag Teams/Stables Evaluation #6: The Rockers

[threattonature]

I'd give them a 7. Great in ring. Came up in the wrong era though as they often didn't get matched up against teams to where they could pump out great matches on the regular. Promo wise they weren't that memorable. Both were pretty bland and didn't show much personality on the mic.

Their feuds with Hart Foundation, Power and Glory, Brainbusters were all memorable. Just not many matches of where they actually met up.

I gave them a 5. I remember them being the designated high flyer team and they had energy but even as a marked out kid the Rockers were "meh". The biggest thing they ever did was their split up. Too many other classic team that were better during their era.

It also doesn't help that he had a drug problem and his former partner was trying to sabotage his career even after the team disbanded.

why would lief Cassidy do such a thing?

I’ll be honest, I’m doing this one because it’s the closest I’ll get to doing an evaluation of HBK I haven’t watched much of the Rockers work, so my review of them is gonna reflect that. They always felt like the WWF’s answer to the RNR Express. Cool tandem offense, dope theme, solid matches with Arn & Tully & the Hart Foundation. Don’t really have much to write about them, their split obviously went in different directions for both guys. I don’t think I have to mention HBK’s solo career. Jannetty was less fortunate and I think it’s kinda a shame that his name has become synonymous with post tag team failure, because he was a good worker. His lack of success was more due to him getting in his own way and having trouble with the law. Anyway I give them a 6

I missed Faces of Fear. They'd get an 8. They were GANGSTER and you could tell it was real.

I missed The Rockers era as a kid, and just watched a handful of their notable WWF stuff later on. Didn't see the AWA stuff.

I'll say an 8 for them. Great workers, had some great matches. Great to have on the card for a long tag match that gets the "workrate" box checked. But to be a 9 or 10 you've gotta really draw me in, and those guys didn't come off as that interesting or as that big of stars. Character-wise, look-wise, promo-wise, they're just young cool dudes doing fast paced matches. SO, I'll say 8.

I feel bad for marty jannety tho, he could go in the ring too, wound up a jobber in wcw after they broke up

He was still really good in his WCW run, just didn't show up much.

Yeah this is how I feel too. They have some memorable moments/feuds with the teams listed above, but no blowoff matches. Doesn't help that they never officially won the tag titles.

I feel the same. I was surprised when people were ranking them ahead of the Dudley Boyz, Road Warriors, and other more decorated teams.

I liked the Rockers but no way they were better than the teams listed above. Again, I liked the rockers as a kid, but looking back at it their about a 6. Their breakup was probably their goat moment. In fact, the entire lead up to it was great

I'd like to make a request the British Bulldogs and Demolition
