Miracle Violence Connection
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Miracle Violence Connection was a professional wrestling tag team consisting of "Dr. Death" Steve Williams and Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy.
[edit] All Japan Pro Wrestling
The team was originally formed in All Japan Pro Wrestling. They dominated the tag team scene there through 1993, winning the AJPW Unified World Tag Team Championship 5 times.
In Japan, their WCW feud with Steiner Brothers (who were major stars in New Japan Pro Wrestling) was portrayed as a feud between the best gaijin teams of the two major Japanese promotions of the era. Despite advances by New Japan, Gordy and Williams-out of loyalty to Giant Baba-refused to compete for the rival promotion.
[edit] NWA/WCW
In 1992, they went to WCW where they won the WCW World Tag Team Titles by defeating The Steiner Brothers in Atlanta, GA on July 5, 1992. One week later, they won the vacant NWA World Tag Team titles by defeating Dustin Rhodes and Barry Windham in a tournament final. They held onto both titles until September 21, 1992 when they lost them to Rhodes and Windham.
During their relatively brief stay in WCW, they had a feud with the Steiner Brothers which, in addition to being a major WCW feud, was also seen as a major feud by Japanese fans even though the two teams never faced each other in Japan(because in Japan they were employed by rival promotions).
