The Lost Art of Tag Team Wrestling
Read The SLAM! Wrestling Review HereRead The Bleacher Report's Review Here
Tag Team Wrestling matches have been an integral part of the sport since it's inception. An exciting division that has created many top stars, as well as drawn huge gates around the world. Yet for some reason it's a dying art form, as evidenced by the lack of interest that the big wrestling promotions appear to have in promoting it.
Here author Todd Roberg examines the psychology of tag team wrestling and looks back on the last great decade of tag team wrestling, the 1980s.
World renowned wrestling photographer Mike Lano's pictures help to illustrate the story that is told by Roberg along with contributors Les Thatcher, James J Dillon, James Beard, Smith Hart, Bryan Alvarez, Dr. Luther and others, a story of the Lost Art of Tag Team Wrestling.

Chapter 6: Tag Team Wrestling Today (or, the worst of times...again) Though the WWE seems to be focussing more attention on tag team wrestling in 2012, the fact remains that tag team wrestling now is not on par with where it was before.
