OK, so after giving this about 5 minutes of total thought, here’s my 64 team field for the first annual Scott’s Stupid Dream Tag Team Tournament. This is not in any particular order, it’s just 64 teams I could think of off the top of my head who are pretty cool and probably deserve slots here. If there’s any more deserving you can think of, now is the time to nominate them. I’m just gonna end up randomly seeding them and letting people vote in a poll to determine the winner. The criteria will be entirely up to you. Vote for your favorite, the ones who were the best workers, the ones you’d think would win a real fight, whatever.
The nominated teams:

Hi Scott. I had an idea for a possible blog entry but it might seem a bit strange so please bear with me.
From Clash Of The Champions to Ring Of Honor nowadays, there's a tradition of other federations either competing directly with WrestleMania or trying to ride their coattails. So, I was wondering, in counterpoint to the all-time WrestleMania card you once did, what would be your all-time competing show?
A few rules:
--The wrestlers involved must have been active during the WrestleMania years but never wrestled at WrestleMania
--The wrestlers must have been stars in North America.
--Every wrestler can only be used once.
--It'd be a bit limiting to only use shows that occurred on WrestleMania weekend so since we're assuming we have access to a magical time machine to make this all possible, you cna include matches from any time during the year.
--Other than that, you can decide how many matches, how many titles, which titles, etc.
If that doesn't strike your interest, sorry to waste your time, but I'd be interested to see what you come up with!
I dunno, we’re eliminating a whole group of people who had great matches outside WM but competed in a few (or one) WMs (like Ric Flair, Tully Blanchard, Vader, etc) so we’re really limiting ourselves out of the box. Obvious candidates for inclusion in our dream card:

The SmarK 24/7 Rant for World Championship Wrestling - October 25 1986
- So this is the last rant on World Championship Wretling before 24/7 goes away, and in a sad bit of synchronicity, this is the show where we learn of Magnum TA's fate.

The SmarK 24/7 Rant for World Championship Wrestling - October 4 1986
- Your hosts are Tony & David. This is likely taped before the Omni show with the US tag title tournament they've been hyping for weeks, so no mention of the results or even the show here.

The SmarK 24/7 Rant for World Championship Wrestling - September 27 1986
- Another short show this week. Luckily the Braves sucked ass in the 80s, so things will pick up again once we get to the post-season.
- Your hosts are Tony & David.

The SmarK 24/7 Rant for World Championship Wrestling - September 6 1986
A reader notes…
"Hey Scott,
Long-time fan of your site and your wrestling writings.
I know you're not a fan of Hogan but do you realize today marks 25 years since Hogan won the title? It's crazy...that was right around the time I started watching wrestling and to think 25 years have passed since then is something else.
Enjoying the NWA Wrestling rants you do the most. That's the show I most look forward to on 24/7."
Thanks, and it's also my favorite show to rant on, so it works out well for everyone.

The SmarK 24/7 Rant for World Championship Wrestling - August 30 1986
- This is an important date for me, because this would be my 12th birthday, which resulted in my parents renting Wrestlemania 2 for the party and turning me into a lifelong fan. I started watching NWA's Worldwide Wrestling in syndication soon after, with the first show I ever saw being the one where Magnum TA's career-ending car accident was announced, so we're getting pretty close to that point now.
- Your hosts are Tony & David, with unsolicited help from Jim Cornette. They announce that Wahoo has beaten Tully Blanchard to win the National title, and that belt comes to the end of the line via the Nikita Koloff tour of destruction a month after this.

The SmarK 24/7 Rant for World Championship Wrestling - August 9 1986
- Nice to see that they're back to the regular shows again after last week's weird clip show. And what better way to start than a clip of the Andersons beating the holy hell out of Robert Gibson?

The SmarK 24/7 Rant for NWA Supertowns on the Superstation (February 7 1987)
- Don't know what the baseball connection is here. The idea is that it's a sampling of matches and interviews from various stops on the NWA's national tour, and that's about it.
- Your hosts are Tony & David.
