Doug Furnas and Phil Lafon debuted in Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) in 1996. After losing to Rob Van Dam at Natural Born Killaz in August 1996, Furnas refused to show respect and suplexed RVD across the ring. Deciding that he wanted to teach Furnas about respect, RVD challenged him to a tag team match at When Worlds Collide II. Furnas brought in Lafon, while Van Dam chose Sabu as his partner. Sabu and Rob Van Dam had been feuding all year, but worked very well together. The two teams had a great series of matches. Not long after, Furnas and Lafon left ECW.
Furnas and Lafon then signed contracts with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), and made their pay-per-view (PPV) debut as faces at Survivor Series 1996, participating for the first time in a WWF ring in a Survivor Series match where they teamed with The Godwinns (Henry and Phineas) against WWF Tag Team Champions Owen Hart and the British Bulldog and the New Rockers (Marty Jannetty and Leif Cassidy). Furnas and Lafon were the survivors, last pinning tag champions. As 1997 began, they began a feud with Hart and Bulldog over the tag titles, due to having pinned the champions. They received a title shot at In Your House: Final Four, and won the match by disqualification after Owen hit Lafon with his Slammy Award as Bulldog had Lafon in the powerslam. Though Furnas and Lafon won the match, they did not win the titles because a title could not change hands by a disqualification. After this feud, they began a rivalry with the Legion of Doom, turning heel in the process. In the summer of 1997, Furnas and Lafon were injured, which kept them out of action for several months. They returned in the fall of 1997, where they teamed with the British Bulldog and Jim Neidhart as a part of Team Canada at Survivor Series 1997 against Team USA (Vader, Goldust, Marc Mero, and Steve Blackman). Lafon would be the second eliminated from Team Canada by Vader, while Furnas was able to eliminate Mero before he was eliminated by Vader. Bulldog would be the sole survivor. After Survivor Series, Furnas and Lafon would make a few more appearances, mostly on Shotgun Saturday Night, with one match being against the then-unknown Hardy Boyz before being sent to ECW.
In late 1997, Furnas and Lafon returned to Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW). Upon their return, they were a part of the Team WWF stable. One of their first notable appearances was at November to Remember 1997, where they assisted Rob Van Dam in a match against Tommy Dreamer.
On December 5, 1997, they defeated the FBI for the ECW World Tag Team Championship. One day later at Better Than Ever, they lost the titles to Chris Candido and Lance Storm in a three-way also involving Balls Mahoney and Axl Rotten. Following the title loss, the team broke up in early 1998 when Lafon left ECW. Furnas continued to wrestle as a singles wrestler throughout 1998 before he too eventually left.
