Thanks to the Freebird Rule which they invented, 14 time Tag Team Champions across several different promotions, most crushed by public tide turning against Confederate flag merchandise

Five-time NWA World Tag Team Champions, a much larger Michaels/Jannetty dynamic than the Rockers could ever think of having
