History

Global Wrestling Federation

The storyline brothers Axl and Ian Rotten first started to team as the Bad Breed in the

Bobby Duncum, Jr. and John Hawk aka. JBL) to win the GWF Tag Team Championship. Their run with the GWF gold did not last long as they were defeated less than a month later by The Ebony Experience (Booker T and Stevie Ray),[1]
and they left the promotion soon after.

Extreme Championship Wrestling

In October that same year the Rotten ”Brothers” made their debut for a relatively new promotion in

Johnny Hotbody.[4] Bad Breed gained a measure of revenge by defeating Stetson and Hotbody on November 12 in a non-title match.[5]

In June 1994, Bad Breed started a feud with Public Enemy over the ECW Tag Team Title,

November to Remember in a match where the losing team was forced to split up. Bad Breed lost when Pittbull #2 pinned Ian.[7]

Since the brothers both blamed each other for the loss, they began a feud against one another after teaming together for two years. The first match between the two "brothers" was at

Hostile City Showdown 1995 only a week later, this time in a “Barbedwire Baseball Bat” match, but once again Axl beat his “brother”.[10] Their final match took place at Hardcore Heaven in a Taipei Death match.[11]

Reunions

Axl and Ian Rotten would reunite in 2002 where the duo won the IWA Mid-South Tag Team Championship on March 2, but Axl would not be around long enough to see the team lose the belts, which forced Necro Butcher to team with Ian as they lost the titles on April 5.[12]

The Bad Breed reunited at

The Gangstinators in an "ECW fight" (an un-sanctioned match where there are no rules, only a fight until there is one man or team standing).[13] On the heels of their success at Hardcore Homecoming, Bad Breed once again teamed up in IWA Mid-South to win the IWA Mid-South tag team title from Vito and Sal Thomaselli, but were forced to vacate the titles when Ian suffered a concussion and had to take time off.[12]
