Puroresu Central

What makes a tag team legendary? Winning championships, longevity, and the impact that the tag team had on the individual wrestlers. Wrestling in general isn't known for having two people pair for too long, usually it only leads to them splitting up to go after singles success or forming different tag teams to feud against each other. There are teams, however, that stayed together long enough to have a significant amount of success and leave an impression in the sport. The list below is not the definite list of Legendary Tag Teams, but rather an attempt to highlight many of the most accomplished tag teams in puroresu history.
