Biography:
Damian DeNiro and The Reprobate first teamed up on the May 16, 2008 edition of Friday Night Brawl, in a losing effort to Mark Madison and Michael Smart. Though they lost by submission, the two tore the house down as partners. They were planning to become a tag team, but Damian became embroiled in feuds for the United States Championship on FNB, and Reprobate later won the Interbrand Championship on Brunch. It wasn't until the August 8, 2008 edition of FNB that the two once again saw themselves on the same side. Damian DeNiro, one half of The Movement and GWF World Tag Team Champions, turned on his own partner XO. He pinned XO for the rights to both belts and awarded the second title to Reprobate. They became the first and only tag team in GWF history to hold the Tag belts with another set of singles championships. The GWF would go on hiatus later that month, before they could defend the belts. The two then began touring Japan and won the International Heavyweight Tag Team Championship in Havoc PRO, then later won the International Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship. They finally did defend the GWF World Tag Team titles on the Sunday Brunch Anniversary Show against Stan Vishis and Baron Trotter. In 2010, Damian DeNiro came out of retirement to work for the PWA, Reprobate's promotion.

Move Arsenal Information:
====================
Wrestling style:
DeNiro and Rep are known for their ridiculous Dog and pony show matches, in which all of their valets, managers, tag team partners and various hired guns interfere, creating an unpredictable match. Sometimes their special teams backfire, but it always makes for an entertaining exchange.
Strengths and weaknesses:
Due to Reprobate's improvisational brawling skill and DeNiro's amazing technical skill, the team is nearly unbeatable in many aspects and match types. The only true way to defeat them is to be bigger and stronger, as neither of them have never really been "big men" at any point in their career, both always clocking in at under 230 lbs.
Experience:
90
Specialties:
2/3 Falls

Finishing Moves:
==========
Primary Finishing Move
"Stereo Piledrivers" - (Simultaneous tombstone piledriver [DeNiro] and cradle piledriver [Rep] to both opponents)
This move became the tandem's most popular and most successful move together. It received a huge ovation when it debuted on March 22, 2009 at the Sunday Brunch Anniversary Show. It is one of the most productive tag team moves in wrestling, as it successfully eliminates both opponents at once to make for a double pinfall.
Backup Finishing Move
"The World Premiere" - (Ode 2 Queensbridge [DeNiro] and seated powerbomb [Rep] to single opponent)
This move is usually pulled out on a single opponent when his partner has been taken out of the brawl. It was originally used in the first Movement by DeNiro and XO, although XO would hit his Remix as opposed to a seated powerbomb.
==========
Signature Moves:
==========
"Double Vertigo DDT" - (Forward Russian legsweep [DeNiro] in to a DDT [Rep])
DeNiro assists Rep's DDT in this double team variation. It sends the opponent in to the DDT and injures their body as well as their head all at once.
Double high angle back suplex
An ode to Terry Gordy and Steve Williams, this double team back suplex sends the opponent right on the back of their head.
