[[caption-width-right:325:Haas and Benjamin]]

''' The World's Greatest Tag Team''' is a professional wrestling tag team consisting of Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas. The Duo debuted near the end of 2002 in ''[[Wrestling/{{WWE}} World Wrestling Entertainment]]'' as part of KurtAngle's new faction, Team Angle. Both sharing amateur wrestling backgrounds, the duo proved to be a highly successful performers in the ring. More impressively, they debuted during a period where popular tag teams such as {{Edge}} & {{Christian}} and The Hardy Boyz were no longer together, so TWGTT helped to fill the void in the tag team scene. Unfortunately, the duo split up in 2004 after Benjamin was traded to the Raw brand. [[BreakupBreakout While Benjamin would go on to have a relatively successful singles career]], Haas was lost in the shuffle in was briefly released in 2005 before returning to the company the following year. In 2006, the duo reformed their tag team again before they were eventually split up, ''again.'' The two were both released from their contracts in 2010. They both found their way to RingOfHonor and competed there for 3 years. Benjamin left for NewJapanProWrestling at the very end of 2012; Hass stayed in Ring of Honor until March 2013, when he quit in what so far appears to have been a legitimate shoot, disbanding the team.

* BadassBoast: Their name says it all.
* BashBrothers
* BlackBestFriend: Shelton, to Charlie.
* BoisterousBruiser
* BreakupBreakout: Subverted. Shelton managed to have the better singles career of the two by far, although as a team they have more drawing power than either of them separately. Also they got back together.
* CanonDiscontinuity: Regarding Benjamin's relationship with Wrestling/BrockLesnar. Benjamin and Lesnar formed a tag team called the Minnesota Stretching Crew in OVW, so when Kurt Angle debuted Team Angle, he claimed he'd drafted Benjamin to make it personal. Only, since the casual fans didn't follow OVW, Angle claimed Benjamin was Lesnar's former roommate. After only a couple weeks the roommate thing was dropped, and even later acknowledged the Benjamin/Lesnar tag team.
* CoolShades: Benjamin would occasionally don a pair.
* DarkSkinnedBlonde: Benjamin as "the Gold Standard."
* FaceHeelTurn: At ''Final Battle 2011'', a pre-taped anti-WWE promo by the Briscoes and a pre-match beatdown by Haas and Benjamin turned WGTT from [[ScrewedByTheNetwork Screwed by WWE]] to arguably the most hated heels in Ring Of Honor.
