Hello once again to all the fans of this WWC section, right here at Kayfabe Memories. This issue of this month will be an interesting one as I will be describing the tag teams of the 70's who competed for WWC during that decade. The decade of the 70's was a short one, because the first WWC show was held on January 6, 1974, so I will be speaking of about six years of wrestling.

In WWC, the main tag team title from 1974 to 1977 was the North American Tag Team Title. Regarding this title, apparently the first champions of this title were Huracan Castillo and Maravilla, who wrestled as heels. I think so because I asked a wrestling promoter who worked for WWC on the early stages of that promotion and told me that Castillo and Maravilla, that were famous as the Castillo Brothers, were billed as champions on the first show. Carlos Colón and Gino Caruso, who then lost the titles back to Castillo and Maravilla.

The World Tag Team of the WWC began with The Fabulous Kangaroos as World Champions on arrival. That happened in February of 1977. When they came, the top Puerto Rican tag team was Carlos Colón and Jose Rivera. Colon and Rivera won the title from the Kangaroos and held them just one time but for more than 7 months until they lost it.

Next is a brief notation about the eight hottest  foreign heel Tag Teams of the 70's. Telling who was the hottest is difficult, so take the numbers as just a numerical order, not a 'hottest' or 'best' teams:

1-The Assassins. They wrestled as a feared Tag Team for most of the 1974, when they where North American Tag Team champions (from now on, written as NATT). Accordingly to what I have received, those Assassins were Tom Renesto and Jody Hamilton.  They held the NATT just one time, and were billed as champions in Florida.

2-The Infernos. Another feared team of the 70's, especially in 1976. Very well known for throwing fire to their opponents faces. They held the NATT three times (or for those that do not count the when the titles were held up, then just one time).  This team was composed of the Puerto Rican wrestler Gilberto Melendez, better known to most of the fans as El Grande Pistolero or Gypsy Joe, and one of the wrestlers who used the name Martínez, not sure who but probably Bill Martinez.
