Favourite Tag teams

I've been an off again, on again fan of wrestling since I was young enough to hide behind the sofa everytime I saw Sargeant Slaughter. In that time there have been hundreds of superstars in the WWF. Throughout history I've had two favourite Tag teams, the Legion of Doom (you can't pick faults with a bunch of guys wearing spiked american football gear) and The Natural Disasters.
The latter team was made up of Earthquake and Typhoon. The main thing that interested me was the fact that these two behemoths of men used to be archrivals. Typhoon (or Tugboat as he was previously) was the big "I'll help anyone in trouble and squash anyone who uses a cuss word" type, whereas Earthquake was....well just look at him yelling in the picture. He was one hell of a big scary guy.
I remeber seeing the episode (can we really call them episodes?) where one day Tugboat got tired to fighting this uphill battle and just creamed the Bushwackers (atleast that's how I remember it, and if it didn't happen that way then it's a better memory than reality anyway, no one likes the Bushwakcers). Now I know this is how all alliances happen in wrestling nowadays, but I still can't get my head round the reason why someone would change in an instant. Maybe it's a metaphor for life. An example of how people aren't always who you think they are.....oh my God, did I just liken wrestling to a profound philosophical thought? Who'd have thought it possible :P

Why the hell did the Bushwackers walk like they did anyway? I could never figure that one out.
