In 1995, The Bodies defeated PG-13 ( JC-Ice & Wolfie D) to capture the USWA Tag Team Championship. Prichard and Del Ray unsuccessfully challenged for the WWF Tag Team Championship at SummerSlam 1993 and successfully defended the SMW Tag Team Championship against The Rock 'n' Roll Express three months later at Survivor Series 1993.
SMW formed a working agreement with the WWF that allowed The Heavenly Bodies to appear on WWF programming. In 1993, SMW's unique cross-promotional deal with the WWF than the WCW allowed The Heavenly Bodies and The Rock 'n' Roll Express to wrestle on the two competitor's pay-per-view shows. They continued their feud with The Rock 'n' Roll Express in these promotions and began new rivalries with The Steiner Brothers ( Rick & Scott Steiner), and The Smoking Gunns ( Bart & Billy Gunn).
Over the next few years, the new duo competed not only in SMW but also in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), and United States Wrestling Association (USWA). Later that year, Lane left the team and was replaced by "Gigolo" Jimmy Del Ray. They lost their match to The Rock 'n' Roll Express. A cross-promotional deal with World Championship Wrestling (WCW) allowed The Heavenly Bodies to appear at WCW's SuperBrawl III pay-per-view event on February 21, 1993. Their feuds were often highlighted with hardcore matches and numerous title changes. Managed by Jim Cornette, Prichard and Lane became the first ever SMW Tag Team Champions.ĭuring their tenure in SMW, The Heavenly Bodies had long running feuds with the likes of the new Fantastics ( Bobby Fulton & Jackie Fulton) and The Rock 'n' Roll Express ( Ricky Morton & Robert Gibson).
In 1992, veteran wrestlers Tom Prichard and Stan Lane first formed The Heavenly Bodies in Smoky Mountain Wrestling (SMW).
