Paul Diamond and Nick Kiniski formed a tag team in Fred Barend's Texas All-Star Wrestling called American Breed.
[3] The TASW Tag Team title was vacated later that same month when Guerrero refused to wrestle in a rematch against Diamond and Kiniski because Chavo's father Gory Guerrero was the special referee chosen for the match.
After the match, Madril attacked Chavo Guerrero, splitting the team and forcing the titles to be held up.
When Chavo later won the rights to name a new championship partner after defeating Madril in a singles match, he chose to give the titles to the American Force instead, only now the team consisted of Paul Diamond and a rookie named Shawn Michaels.
They feuded for a short time with Toshiaki Kawada and Hiromichi Fuyuki, who were called The Japanese Force.
