in June 2002 by the Canadian Lance Storm, who had led a similar stable known as Team Canada in World Championship Wrestling (WCW).

Storm claimed that World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) had discriminated against Canadians for years, citing the Montreal Screwjob as an example.

Christian (who had teamed with Storm regularly since the fall of the WCW/ECW Alliance) and Test, also Canadian, joined the burgeoning stable later that month.

In the lead-up to the formation of the group, each member had suffered a televised loss, decided by the ineptitude of the referee calling the match.

Storm lost a tag team match when he used a Bridging German Suplex to pin his opponent Billy Kidman.

In July, The Anti-Americans began feuding with wrestlers such as Rikishi, fellow Canadian Edge and Hollywood Hulk Hogan.

They were assisted by Chris Jericho, another Canadian, who both proposed the match to Mr. McMahon, and helped them win it after striking Edge with one of the belts.

They went on to feud with Booker T and Goldust, who Storm and Christian defeated to retain the WWE Tag Team Championship at SummerSlam on August 25.

At Unforgiven on September 22, The Un-Americans lost to Booker T, Goldust, Kane and Bubba Ray Dudley in an eight-man tag team match.

On the June 23, 2003 episode of Raw The Un-Americans (Christian and Test) reunited for one night only to take on Booker T and Scott Steiner in a winning effort.

It was commented by Michael Hayes during a segment of "The Legends of Wrestling" - Patriotism, that everyone in the Un-Americans were afraid of the "heat" brought on by the angle.

Christian became a four-time Intercontinental Champion winning his second (he won his first at Unforgiven in September 2001, nine months before the stable's formation) at Judgment Day in May 2003.

He stayed with the company until November 2005 when he went to Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) and became a main eventer winning the NWA World Heavyweight Championship on two occasions in 2006 and 2007.
