Tag Team (Backslide)

In professional wrestling, in the backslide style ,a tag team consists of two wrestlers who are working together as a team (more than two is called a stable). A tag team that consists of 5 members is called a Mafia. A tag team is limited up to 5 members ; known as the "5M-Rule". A tag team has a limit up to 3 title holders ; known as the "D-Generation Z Rule".
== Tag Team Match Rules ==
The basic tag team match has two teams of two wrestlers facing off against each other. Only one wrestler from each team, called the "legal man" is allowed in the ring at a time. The Legal tag rules are listed below:
A wrestler must do the following in order to make a legal tag:
*Both feet of the wrestler on the outside must be flat on the apron.
*The wrestler outside the ring must hold on to the tag rope tied in the corner.
*Tags are legal as long as the two team members touch.
*The referee only has to see the contact between the two wrestlers in order to make the tag legal in a tag team match if the titles are on the line.
A referee can be allowed to overlook any of these tag rules at his discretion. All standard match rules apply but the legal man must make a pin or submission on another legal man to win. Only legal men can be counted out but either team can be disqualified regardless if a team member is legal or not.
== Force-Out Rules ==
A force-out will be made if the referee sees one of these things or etc.:
*The legal man keeps the opponent's legal man in his tag team's corner ; and does not make the tag within a referee's ten count.
*The current legal man has been the legal man ; for a period of six minutes (sometimes five).
*The legal man gets carded (blue cards are used) ; therefore is disqualified from the match and the partner must continue on his own.
*The legal man gets tossed or thrown over the top rope ; the illegal partner becomes the legal partner (used mainly in "mexican-american promotions)
