The Destruction Crew won the Pro Wrestling Illustrated 1989 Rookie of the Year award, the only tag team to win this accolade.
[2] 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.
They attempted without success to win the NWA World Tag Team Championship from The Steiner Brothers during a brief feud.
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,[7] they were launched into feuds with the Legion of Doom, The Bushwhackers (whom they defeated at the 1992 Royal Rumble)[8] and The Natural Disasters (who they unsuccessfully challenged for the WWF World Tag Team Championship at SummerSlam '92).
[11] 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.
[12][13] 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.
