History
Steve Armstrong and Tracy Smothers started teaming as The Southern Boys in Florida Championship Wrestling in 1987 where they feuded with The New Breed. They moved on to Southeastern Championship Wrestling where they feuded with The Stud Stable.
They next went to World Championship Wrestling in 1990 where they feuded with The Fabulous Freebirds. A memorable moment of their feud with the Freebirds was the fact that when joining Lance Russell on commentary, both Michael Hayes and Jimmy Garvin would comically correct them as hailing from "Green Bay, Wisconsin". This feud lasted over a year with the Southern Boys winning most of the matches but getting laid out quite a bit.
In 1991, they changed their name to The Young Pistols, eventually turning heel and feuding with The Patriots and the team of Ron Simmons and Big Josh. By 1992, Smothers and Armstrong had stopped teaming, as Smothers concentrated on a singles career in Smoky Mountain Wrestling and Armstrong went to WWF for a brief singles run as Lance Cassidy before joining Smothers in SMW, teaming with his brother Scott.
In 2000 they teamed up briefly in Ohio Valley Wrestling where they feuded with "The Disciples of Syn".

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Throughout the history of commercial life nobody has ever quite liked the commission man. His function is too vague, his presence always seems one too many, his profit looks too easy, and even when you admit that he has a necessary function, you feel that this function is, as it were, a personification of something that in an ethical society would not need to exist. If people could deal with one another honestly, they would not need agents.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“Well, for us, in history where goodness is a rare pearl, he who was good almost takes precedence over he who was great.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“A great proportion of the inhabitants of the Cape are always thus abroad about their teaming on some ocean highway or other, and the history of one of their ordinary trips would cast the Argonautic expedition into the shade.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
