They were one of the most decorated Tag Team in Professional Wrestling and also the most popular Tag Team on SD!:
The World's Greatest Tag Team
Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin met back in the OVW and in December of 2002, Haas and Benjamin united in the WWE on SD! with their mentor Kurt Angle and they were known as Team Angle.
and in 2003 as a Tag Team, they won the SD! WWE Tag Team Championship together on 2 occassions.
They also competed on WWE PPV's as well and they 1st competed in the 16th Annual Royal Rumble and then, on February 16, 2003 on SD! they became the SD! WWE Tag Team Champions defeating Los Guerreros (Eddie and Chavo) and @ No Way Out 2003, they teamed up with Kurt Angle and they took on Chris Benoit and Brock Lesnar in a 2 on 3 Handicap Tag Team Match, but unfortunately, they lost.
and then @ Wrestlemania XIX (THE Greatest Wrestlemania under the Brand Extension Era, IMO) Haas & Benjamin had their 1st title defense on a LIVE WWE PPV as they took on Rhino & Benoit and Los Guerreros in a Triple Threat Tag Team Sudden Death Match.
Haas & Benjamin won the match and then the following month @ Backlash 2003, they had their 2nd title defense on a LIVE WWE PPV, against Los Guerreros and they won.
The following month in May of 2003, they competed @ Judgment Day in their very 1st Ladder Match against Eddie Guerrero and Tajiri, but they would lose the belts to them that night, but when Kurt Angle came back from neck surgery, Angle fired them from Team Angle, and soon, The World's Greatest Tag Team were born, and they would regain the WWE Tag Team Titles from Eddie and Tajiri on SD! back on July 3, 2003.
But then, @ Vengeance 2003, they had their 4th title defense against Rey Mysterio and Billy Kidman, and then, on September 18, 2003 on SD!, they would later lose the Tag Team Belts to Los Guerreros.
and then, @ No Way Out 2004, they would def. the APA, and then 4 weeks later, they would compete @ Wrestlemania XX in a Fatal 4-Way Match for the SD! Tag Team Titles, but they lost to the champs @ the time, Rikishi & Scotty 2 Hotty.
and then, on March 22, 2004 on RAW during the Night of the Draft Lottery, Haas and Benjamin split up when Shelton Benjamin got drafted to RAW and Charlie Haas stayed with SD!
However, Haas & Benjamin reunited and the World's Greatest Tag Team were reformed on New Year's Day 2007 on RAW, and then also competed against The Hardys @ One Night Stand III in a Ladder Match for the WWE World Tag Team Titles, their reunion was short-lived, b/c this past Tuesday on ECW, Shelton Benjamin went back home to SD! and has also joined ECW and Charlie Haas was on RAW and The World's Greatest Tag Team were once again, Dead!
Today, Haas & Benjamin still remain best friends and Benjamin was the best man @ Charlie Haas' wedding in 2005 and Hass, Benjamin and Haas' wife Jackie Gayda Haas all reside in Dallas, TX.
