American Wrestling Association (1989–1991) Mike Enos and
Wayne Bloom started out in 1989 in the
American Wrestling Association after being trained by
Eddie Sharkey and
managed by
Johnny Valiant. Sporting matching ring attire and carrying
sledgehammers to the ring, they were known as "The Destruction Crew". They feuded with The Olympians,
Ken Patera and
Brad Rheingans, and challenged them to a “car lifting” contest. During the challenge, The Crew attacked The Olympians and, in
storyline, injured them. The Olympians' injuries forced them to vacate their
AWA Tag Team Championship which were then placed in a tournament. The Crew went on to defeat
Greg Gagne and
Paul Diamond to win the title tournament on October 1, 1989. They also faced Rheingans and Paul Diamond and in a
steel cage match where the former was locked out of the cage only to have his partner decimated by The Destruction Crew. The team finally lost their Tag Team titles on August 11, 1990, to
The Trooper and
D.J. Peterson.
World Wrestling Federation (1991–1993) On April 16, 1991, Enos & Bloom received a tryout match for the
World Wrestling Federation at a
Wrestling Challenge taping in Cedar Rapids, IA. In May 1991, the team were transformed into Beau (Bloom) and Blake (Enos), The Beverly Brothers. Now wearing flamboyant purple tights and capes to the ring, their
gimmick was that of two spoiled rich brats. They were originally managed by
Coach (John Tolos), then by
The Genius. They made their televised debut on the June 22 episode of
Superstars by defeating
enhancement talents Rob Jones and Tom Zeller. After making their WWF
pay-per-view debut on a winning team at
Survivor Series '91, they were launched into feuds with the
Legion of Doom,
The Bushwhackers (whom they defeated at the
1992 Royal Rumble) and
The Natural Disasters (who they unsuccessfully challenged for the
WWF World Tag Team Championship at
SummerSlam '92). By the later part of 1992, however, they would be used primarily to put
over other tag teams; they were on the losing end of an eight-man elimination tag team match at
Survivor Series '92 and were defeated by their old rivals The Steiner Brothers at the
1993 Royal Rumble. Throughout late 1992 and early 1993, they also found themselves in comedic mixed tag team matches, paired with Little Louie against The Bushwhackers and
Tiger Jackson. Bloom left the WWF in April 1993 and semi-retired from professional wrestling while Enos, still under the Blake Beverly moniker, remained in the company for a few months, mainly as
enhancement talent on their weekly syndicated shows.
Minnesota (1994–1995) They would reunite in Minnesota as the Destruction Crew from their AWA days. During this time they wrestled in the independent circuit. On November 20, they defeated
Tekno Team 2000 in at an AWA event in Red wing, Minnesota. In 1995 they once again went their separate ways.
World Championship Wrestling (1997–1998) The two had a brief reunion in
World Championship Wrestling from 1997 to 1998 for a few matches. They remained low-card performers, and after a few matches together, the team finally disbanded. ==Championships and accomplishments==
