CHARACTER BIOGRAPHY:

They didn't meet until three years ago, when both of their careers were just beginning. Introduced to one another by Mike's trainer Andrew Rossi (then known as Simply Beautiful), they hit it off immediately and started teaming in small promotions all over the Midwest, honing their craft and getting ready for bigger and better things. Once Mike heard about the NFW Tag Team Tournament, he couldn't resist the urge to see if the Dream Team was ready to make it in the big time. Many of their moves are named after the cities and towns in Minnesota where they were debuted.
