The screen stayed black, until the owner of the International Championship Wrestling, Trell, stepped into the spotlight. "In 1901, the first ever tag team match was held in the United States, in San Francisco, California, specifically. San Francisco promoters introduced tag team wrestling as a way of improving the sport's entertainment value instead of the same one-on-one bouts. The subtle change slowly, but surely, changed professional wrestling forever" He soon chuckled as he paced back & forth. "So much so that, in 1950, the first "World" Tag Team Champions were crowned. It was in that moment tag team wrestling became not only a wrestling tradition, but a celebrated form of combat!"
Images of famous wrestling tag teams soon showed up on-screen. "Ever since the 1950s, tag teams of all shape & size soon changed the landscape of the world of Sports Entertainment. Immortal tag teams such as The Heavenly Bodies, The Wild Samoans, The Rock & Roll Express, The Hart Foundation, The British Bulldogs, The Legion of Doom, The Hardys, Edge & Christian, The Young Bucks, The Revival, The New Day, these team not only laid the foundation for the standards of tag team wrestling which is featured to this day, but helped spread the art of tag teaming to the forefront of wrestling & mainstream media!"
"Which brings us to right here: the Wrestling Federation Alliance!" Trell smiled as all the lights came back on, revealing the tag teams surrounding the ring. "These are 16 of the best, the most talented, intelligent, athletic, & dynamic duos across the 8 promotions in the WFA, chosen to fight, to compete for the pride & bragging rights of being crowned the greatest tag teams to ever grace not only their represented promotion, but also the WFA! How? By becoming the first ever WFA World Tag Team Champions!" Dusted (by Astroid Boys) soon played as smoke rained from above, covering Trell. When the smoke cleared, he was holding two identical championships that are similar to the Attitude Era's Tag Team Championship, except it has the WFA logo and was covered in gold, black & silver. Trell smiled & looked at the championships before facing the camera. "Tonight, I proudly introduce you to…"
