Brute and Massacre get my vote.
I am surprised Rush and Turmoil are not on the poll, but even if they were I would still vote for Brute and Massacre.

Rush & Turmoil would destroy Brute & Massacre and their 6(3) PIN ratings.

Brute and Massacre would struggle nowadays as the stats have definitely moved up but for their time, they have the most reigns as a team and a couple sizable runs.
Siege and Fist though have been murdering everyone and don't seem interested in dropping the belts.

This to me is a harder choice to make than choosing which is the greatest AniMen team. I would have to say Brute & Massacre, Thunder & Overkill... Here is where the hard part comes in naming that last spot. Normally, you would have to give it to Malice & Overkill, but Siege & Fist are dominant as a team in the eight years since their debut.
I guess what you have to ask yourself is what's more impressive 7 title reigns or a dominant long title reign? To me the dominant title run of say 50 title defenses over the 5 shorter title reigns.

I agree that the long dominant title reign is better. This kind of reminds me of that WWE backstage segment where Booker T was bragging to Rob Van Dam about being a 5-Time WCW World Champion to which RVD replied: "Wow, I didn't know you LOST the WCW World Title five times!" |

For me in regards to playing the game and the issue of what is better between a long dominant championship reign and multiple short championship reigns, the deciding factor is the total number of successful title defenses made by each wrestler.
If the total number of successful title defenses for the wrestler with the longer reigns happen to outnumber the total number of successful title reigns for the wrestler with the multiple shorter reigns then I give the nod to the wrestler with the multiple reigns.

it is two different eras of COTG, but I looked at the accomplishments, as shown in the COTG Title Histories sub-board for my fed, accumulated by the two greatest Gladiator tag teams for my personal fed and this what I got:
Rush and Turmoil
5-time ROV Tag Team Champions
3-time Vega Cup winners (Vega Cup now called the Omega Cup)
2-time ROV Tag Team of the Year
ROV Tag Team Champions for 32 shows total
Brute and Massacre
3-time ROV Tag Team Champions
3-time Vega Cup winners
4-time ROV Tag Team of the Year
ROV Tag Team Champions for 60 shows and counting (Brute and Massacre are my current ROV Tag Team Champions in 2093)
In my COTG color card fed, I have played 2087-2093 and 2125-2138. So those are the final totals for Rush and Turmoil. Brute and Massacre still have years left and have already almost doubled the number of shows as ROV Tag Team Champions compared to Rush and Turmoil and I do a ROV Tag Team Championship match almost every show (I do 12 big shows per game year for my COTG feds) for consistency so I give the nod to Brute and Massacre.

The problem with these kinds of polls is that each of the teams has to be viewed in the context of the era they were in (as Vegas has illustrated very well). Brute and Massacre were dominant at a time when we had teams like the Greek Gods and Animal Pack…but also the Space-Croppers, the Norse Gods, and other B- and C-teams. In the modern GWF (current game year), even a B-team (maybe even a C-team) could give Brute and Massacre a run for their money due to more powerful Finishers, add-1 moves, special rules (the asterisks on so many cards), and so on. Of course Rush and Turmoil would defeat Brute and Massacre more often than not—they are more powerful cards. And of course Brute and Massacre held a lot of titles—they existed in a GWF where most of the other teams were weaker.
Looking at the teams in a vacuum isn’t really a fair comparison, unless we are really listing our favorite Gladiator team, in which case my vote goes to Rage and Paralyze.
Just my two cents.
