Today's set of first round matches takes the voting public into the 2000s, a decade that marked a weird, wild time for tag team wrestling on the whole. Before I get into today's matches, however, you can see who won yesterday's bouts in the blockquote:

Steiners, Eliminators, Harlem Heat, New Age Outlaws, Road Warriors, Outsiders, Natural Disasters, Hollywood Blondes

With those winners out of the way, the time has arrived to get on the voting for today's top tag teams, which includes probably the top overall seed in the Dudley Boys.
