Wow OP...two of the most influential tag teams in wrestling history are your worst? You couldn't think of worse teams than those two...really? You might as well throw DX in there too. You're an idiot.
I would have to say...The Spirit Squad because they were just annoying as hell and had a shitty gimmick. Decent athletes but none of them were ready for TV yet.

now all we need is some rape bait!
Techno Team 2000, now they were a horrible team in the mid 90s. Short lived with a very bad gimmick.
The Dicks, another short lived team that wrestled on smackdown i believe
The Ding Dongs, a plain example of how lame wcw was in their early days

When I think about the worst tag teams in wrestling history, I have to go with the following:
The Fabulous Rougeau Bros: This team is the absolute worst. Chessy gimmick, chessy music, seriously lacking muscle tone, and no pure wresting skills at all. These guys could not get over as faces or heels. And I really don't remember ever getting pushed toward the tag titles. Any team to job to the Bushwackers, need to be future endeavored.
The New Rockers: Far from being the ''Tag Team Specialist" that the original Rockers were, putting Marty Jannety and Al Snow in a tag team was really rediculous. It's sad because individually these two were great wrestlers. But together, they were terrible. And what made it worst was that they were heels. They did'nt know how to play the crowd to hate them, and again, this team never got a title shot.
The Bodydonnas: Once again, you got two great wrestlers paired up to make one gabage tag team. Yes, these guys accualy held the straps. But how long did that last??? A month??? Before they came together, Skip(Chris Candido) was a superstar in ECW. I mean this guy was a beast. His fued with Lance Storm was great. And he was in one of the best stables in ECW, the Triple Treat. Zip(Dr. Tom Pritchard) was tremendous as well. One half of two versions of the Heavenly Bodies with Sweet Stan Lane, and the Gigalo Jimmy Del Ray. Both versions of that tag team were great. But, when the Bodydonnas got together, it was curtains for their WWE careers.
Teckno Team 2000: And you probaly asking, "Who???" Yeah, exacaly.

I'm going to go with Romeo and Antonio, the Heart Throbs!
Not too bad of a gimmick, the WWE just used them wrong. If they would have waited for, say, Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins.
The Throbs just didn't really do anything. They challenged for the tag titles like twice, losing every time. They didn't last long in the E at all.

Not sure how The Outsiders are one of the worst tag teams. Since it made one of the biggest impacts in pro-wrestling. Not sure you've seen much of Scott Hall's stuff but this idea that doing certain moves is more important than making money is pretty funny. It's professional wrestling not MMA or Boxing. There are dead people, clowns, boogeymen, midgets, giants.
For the most part I don't like it when 2 superstars are randomly thrown together.

I might be showing my age but the worst tag team in Wrestling history would have to be the Mulkey Brothers (Randy and Bill). besides one small push they received prior to one of the Crockett Memorial Cup tournaments they never won a match!!!!
You do realize OP that the outsiders soon became arguably the most influential and important faction in Pro Wrestling history the nWo right? How on earth could you have them as the worst team in wrestling history? lol.
Anyway OT:
Ink Inc: While they're not the worst in history they're my least favorite ever probably, mainly due to Shannon Moore with all his book of Diligath BS... If they beat Beer Money for the titles due to an immortal interference or whatever i will be pissed!

Wow.. not sure what to say here... you must really hate tag team wrestling if you think The Outsiders and Harlem Heat are the worst ever.. might as well say The Steiners, DX and LOD are among the worst too...
I just gotta say the best tag team ever are The Outsiders
but for the worst team ever.. hard to say, there's been alot of them.. especially in the last 5 years or so.. even though they were more of a stable, i still hated the Spirit Squad and 3 Count
I would say the worst Tag Team would be The Bushwackers most of there wins were against the jobbers. These guys were a Tag team version of George Steel 2 guys that licked each others heads and couldn't wrestle out of a wet paper bag. The moment in there history that is remembered most is when Luke enter the rumble doing his bushwacker walk entered the ring and then thrown out and did that stupid walk all the way back up the aisle. They had a stupid gimmick and boring to watch there matches.
My Couch Pulls Out But I Don't
I am a WZ *****...GOD!
First off to the OP, Those are the two you came up with? One team being very influential (Outsiders) and another being like 22 time tag team champions? Get real...
To the guy that mentioned Ink Inc., Shannon Moores book isn't "Diligath" it is "D.I.L.L.I.G.A.F" which stand for "Do I Look Like I Give A Fuck"
Now onto my picks for worst tag teams:
The Killer Bees, Doink and Dink, Fire and Ice, Vicious and Delicious, Heart Throbs, Ernest Miller and Glacier, New Rockers, New Blackjacks, New Midnight Express, Rougeau Brothers, Doug Furnas and Phil Lafon, Steve McMichael and Kevin Greene, Body Donnas, Head Cheeese, Kronik, T&A, Public Enemy, Los Boricuas, Mark Henry and MVP, Hogan and Rodman, Hogan and Bischoff, DDP and Karl Malone, DDP and Jay Leno, 3 Count, Natural Born Thrillers, Yung Dragons...
Thats all I got right now but the list could be much, much longer.

Not sure the OP knows what hes talking about... any ways heres my picks! In no particular order...
1. The New Midnight Express - Bob Holly before he got hardcore and Bart Gunn without his Billy never really set the world alight. Even with Jim Cournette as the mouthpiece this team got lost in the shuffle of the million stables and teams there were around at the time. Bobs long dyed blonde locks looked very silly too!
2. Men On A Mission - two fat guys singing and dancing their way around the ring as another fat guy raps poorly for our entertainment... ok they were moderately popular, but probably because Mabel was a big black guy with a girls name. Couldn't beat The Quebecers at WMX which was probably their career highlight before the reign of King Mabel..Yawn
3. Big Boss Man and Bull Buchanan - Probably more Bulls fault than bossman but this could be one of the most unadventurous boring one dimentional teams I can think of. Their opener vs Godfather and D'LO at WM2000 was only made vaguely entertaining by Ice T and a gaggle of Ho's. Still could have done without it.
4. Well Dunn - I know they were a tag team as they were in a sticker album I had around 95... thats it. Well done Well Dunn!

I like Head Cheese as a tag team. lol.
Also when Kronik went to WWE, I wish they used Demolition as their name as Crush & Wrath. Ax & Smash were my favorite tag team growing up.
This one is very easy for me.
My favorite tag team of all time is Legion of Doom. Now, with that being said, one of the worst tag teams in history to me is, Animal and Heidenreich.
Heidenreich had no reason being in the WWE period, let alone trying to be someone who he clearly isnt (RIP Hawk).
Yes, they were given the tag team titles a few years ago, which shocked me, but, still, this was nothing more than a rip off in my mind.
I hoped they paid Animal a bonus of some kind to sell this tag team idea with someone who was beyond horrible as a wrestler.

I think the notion of 'worst' is being changed from post to post. Candido and Pitchard were bad becos they didn't work well as team due to lacking chemistry; Bashems were bad due to no interest from creative and hence shit booking; and the Rogeux's were bad for having no charisma or gimmick.
For my money, a team is bad if the total is worse than the sum of the parts and that is not due being fucked by creative. In that mould I would put teams like Mean Street Posse, Chuck Palumbo and Billy Gunn (I forget the name), Candido and Pritchard etc.
However my top three who have to be:
3) ShowMiz - I know putting Mizanin with anyone is a huge disadvantage, but at this stage in his career, Paul Wright should have been able to do a better job.
2) New Age Outlaws - Controversial choice I know, but this was the start of a downward spiral in moving the marks from the bleachers to the locker room. Most the stuff was in more taste and enough though Palumbo & Billy had a worse gimmick, both James and Gunn were smart enough to how to make childish, bs writing come better.
1) NWO/BAND/Immortal: Essentially this is Waltman, Nash, Hall and Hogan. At the start this new and refreshing, now its sad and pathetic and no gives a crap except the people doing it, which is way it hasn't changed in 15yrs. As I said, if the total is less the sum of the parts, there's a serious problem - and this took great talent and facilitated the greatest waste of professional talent ever. PV

It's dilligaf, holmes. does.it.look.like.I.give.a.f*ck
As for the worst team ever, I'm stuck on the Ding Dongs. There was a team in TNA's formulative days that wore all golden tights,shirts and masks as well. They were so terrible that I don't recall their name...
I automatically discount teams that were comprised of two singles wrestlers thrown together because creative had nothing else for them to do...I am only taking into consideration actual honest to goodness tag teams...
How about the Headbangers, Mosh and Thrasher? I have never seen a less deserving team win the tag titles. They were dreadful.

Does anyone remember Lo Down? D'Lo Brown and Chaz (aka Mosh.) At least for this random pairing of two singles stars they made them dress similar (Chaz in white pants, D'Lo in brown) but the only thing I can really remember them for was participating in the Dudley Boyz invitational table match at No Mercy in 2000.

Some of the teams u guys are talking about i totally forgot about and have to laugh at how corny they were. I`d say every team from the new millenium with a few exceptions has been crap they get on a roll and then they break them up. Koz and Santino are a good one crap!!!!!

Getting Noticed By Management
Power and Glory - An "on the decline" Hercules teamed with perennial jobber and "never was" Paul Roma to form one of the worst tag teams of the early 90's. I don't even remember these two ever being in serious title contention, let alone getting a title shot on any kind of national stage. Getting squashed by LOD in under a minute at Wrestlemania was the final nail in the casket.
Rhythm and Blues - Kind of like above, except Honkey Tonk Man could still go a bit, but Greg "The Hammer" Valentine was VERY much on the decline. They had Jimmy Hart for a manager which should have helped but didn't. I think Valentine dying his hair black was the biggest attrocity coming out of this gimmick though.
The American Males - "pretty boys" Marcus Alexander Bagwell and Scotty Riggs join forces to become a horrificly bad tag team that ultimately went nowhere. The future "Buff" was on a tag-team tour of sorts after being thrown together with other guys that didn't make a whole lot of sense. Riggs was just the latest partner in his floundering exploits. Their theme song was one of the worst ones I've ever heard and a short time later, Bagwell and Riggs were feuding with each other. Generally speaking, a waste of time.

There are 3 especially horrible teams from WCW that I can remember.
1) The Hunchbacks - These guys were just plain terrible. Their gimmick was that they had hunchbacks so no matter what it was impossible to pin their shoulders to a match. When they finally lost they actually dug a hole in the ground for their hunchbacks and pinned them that way. Seriously, who thought that would be a good idea.
2) The Ding Dongs - another tag team with a terrible gimmick. Whenever these guys tagged each other they would actually ring a bell to make that "Ding dong" sound. They looked like 2 orange condoms walking around. Just another line in horrible tag team gimmicks.
The worst part about the top 2 was that not only did they have terrible gimmicks, they had terrible matches and both teams had an extreme lack of skill. There were absolutely NO redeeming qualities about these 2 teams.
3) The Dynamic Dudes - This was a tag team between Shane Douglas and some other guy (can't remember his name). Their gimmick was a couple of Skateboarders who basically acted like a couple of baked, California boarders. They had no chemistry and were just painful to watch, especially since their gimmick was a couple of skateboarders WHO COULDN'T SKATEBOARD, it was ridiculous.
Not only were all 3 teams horrible, they were some of the worst gimmicks in wrestling history. Seriously, how high do you need to be to think that any of the 3 teams mentioned were actually good. Just 3 in a long line of failed WCW gimmicks.

Classically Charismatic
Anybody remember when Mike Knox and Charlie Hass made like three televised appearences as a tag team in 2009? That made me want to cry, what an awful, awful team to put together.
Duece and Domino sucked, not their wrestling, actually Domino is quite good as Cliff Compton in OVW, but that tag team, from the minute their fucking music hit made me cringe.
