Wayne Bloom, a former professional wrestler, had a storied career spanning over a decade, wrestling in prominent promotions such as World Championship Wrestling, The American Wrestling Association, and The World Wrestling Federation between 1988 and 1999.
Bloom, along with his tag-team partner, The Destruction Crew, won the tag-team championship in a tournament, defeating notable teams like Sgt. Slaughter & Baron Von Raschke and Greg Gagne & "HardRock" Paul Diamond in the process. This impressive feat earned them a joint "Rookie of the Year" award from Pro Wrestling Illustrated readers, a unique achievement in the world of professional wrestling.
The Destruction Crew joined World Championship Wrestling in 1990, where they wrestled under masks as the Minnesota Wrecking Crew 2, managed by Ole Anderson. During their stint, they attempted to win the NWA World Tag Team Championship from the Steiner Brothers but were unsuccessful.
Simultaneously, they held the AWA World Tag-Team Championship, defending the titles against rivals like The Trooper & D.J. Peterson before the AWA closed its doors in early 1991.
In 1991, Bloom and his partner, Enos, transitioned to the World Wrestling Federation, adopting the gimmick of the Beverly Brothers, a team of spoiled rich brats. They were initially managed by The Coach and later by The Genius.
The Beverly Brothers were involved in feuds with notable teams like The Road Warriors, The Bushwhackers, and The Natural Disasters, but were never promoted as serious contenders in the tag-team division. Bloom left the WWF in 1993 and semi-retired from professional wrestling.
However, he made sporadic appearances on the independent scene, including a stint in the United Wrestling Federation, before reuniting with Enos in World Championship Wrestling in 1997 and 1998. Despite their brief reunion, the announcers failed to acknowledge their past history.
After a final disbandment, Bloom retired permanently in 1999, bringing an end to his illustrious professional wrestling career.
