1 | 18.03.2024 | BlackVikingGZ | 9.0 | The Disciples Of The New Church, alongside his manager James Mitchell, had an important role on the early days of the tag team division of TNA, as their feud with America's Most Wanted was the stepping-stone for the tag team division. That feud also put on the map the team of Chris Harris and James Storm and stablish them as the top tag team of the company. Also, they were important backstage helping talent to improve on the ring, as James Storm said on an interview a few years ago. Their debut was impactful, as they destroyed AMW and went against the titles. Their first encounter was a declaration of intentions, as it set the bar for violence and bloody brawls, that were really good. They stablish themselves as the top heels and AMW as the underdogs. Soon, they won the tag team titles on a great encounter. To get it back, AMW had to fight fire with fire and play their game, being even more violent than the heels, which gave them fire and a purpose, to recapture the tag team titles, which they finally did. After the birth of SEX the New Church was disappeared for a couple of weeks, until they return to save their former rivals of an attack of Triple X, turning face and that point. They faced Triple X and Swinger & Diamond on some good matches. After that they teamed with Sandman and Perry Saturn on an 8 man tag team against some members of SEX, which lead to a feud with the Extreme Revolution and some good matches against them. Finally, they were involved on the Hard Ten tournament and on the feud between Raven and the New Church, with a good performance by Slash. After that, Brian Lee left the company, but Slash remained. It's fair to say that they are underrated as a team and that their worked was important to solidified the tag team division, cause until that time it wasn't great. Their gimmick was really cool and their bloody and violent brawls were really memorable. |
