Red Hoodie Crew

Red Hoodie Crew The Red Hoodie Crew began roughly in April 2001, when a group of young upstarts in the TWF got together under the guise of The Alliance. These 2 upstarts, Adam Taylor and Thomas Grubb joined up with TWF Veteran "Stone Kold" Karl Davies to form the faction and Taylor eventually brought his friend Luke Thomas into the group. The 3 men were booed, but during the BCW and WWC Invasion later that year, the group were considered to be close to Mr. BIG and were cheered from then on in. The Alliance suffered a lean spell afterwards, but returned with vengeance later in the year taking out some of the bPa. But eventually, the Alliance split down from within. with members leaving left right and centre, that was until January 2003, when Adam Taylor and Stephen Dimmock were looking for a name for their new tag team. Mr. BIG walked by wearing a Red Hoodie, and the two called themselves the Red Hoodie Crew. Former Alliance Members Joe Whelan, Luke Thomas and Thomas Grubb appeared to join up as well. The faction gained the appreciation of TWF Fans and all of the members were being cheered, bar one - Stephen Dimmock. At the TWF's 4th Anniversary show, No Way BacK, Dimmock interfered in Mr. BIG's comeback match and slapped a kiss on Holly, who we then found out helped Mr. BIG to screw Karl Davies out of victory in the match. At the Grit BasH following the event, Dimmock said that he is doing what Mr. BIG said he did when he started up the TWF. "To become big, you have to make a big impact" and Dimmock said the only way you make a big impact is going after the biggest guy, the owner of the yard, Uncle Biggie. To further wind Biggie up, Dimmock announced his new manager as being Biggie's younger sister, Atomically Kool Kat. Dimmock brought in his friend Ryan Jenkins, who in turn brought in his friend Rhys Hopkins to try and outnumber Biggie, and infamously shot a vignette, called "How to Harpoon a Bear", which drew much anger from the TWF's fans. This enraged Biggie so much that the end of the broadcast, from which he was absent through an injury, he snapped completely, driving to the event and challenged the Hoodie Crew members of Taylor, Hopkins and Jenkins to a Gauntlet Match at the TJS Centre the following week on RAW. The Hoodie Crew attacked Biggie on the Grit BasH prior, but Biggie proclaimed that they would still be walking into a car wreck. After intense build-up, the match began, and Biggie disposed of Ryan Jenkins quite quickly, and Rhys Hopkins with similar ease, but, Adam Taylor, who around 2 months earlier broke Biggie's wrist and left it in a cast for 3 weeks, was a much harder task, until the entire Hoodie Crew at the time, which included Joe Whelan, Thomas Grubb, Luke Thomas and Dimmock emptied out to outnumber and destroy Biggie, but famously disguised as a football mascot was Silver, making his TWF debut, and he aided Biggie to victory. At Easter HeAT, things for the Hoodie Crew were not made easy. JT Money, Jody Fleisch and The Sandman provided a clinic victory in what remains the only 6-Man Tag Team Hell in a Cell contest in history, and to further embarrass the team, Dimmock was beaten by Biggie. Dimmock wanted a re-match, and he got it. But, it would not be an ordinary straight-up re-match, Dimmock would take on Biggie in the most demonic match in wrestling history, a match Biggie devised… Tables, Ladders, Cell. After plenty of build-up, the two contested a bloodied and brutal battle, where the crowd largely cheered for Dimmock, which only drove Biggie more. After almost thirty minutes, eventually Biggie was victorious, and Dimmock disappeared for a short while. The rest of the Hoodie Crew fought on. Hopkins and Jenkins, a well-oiled tag team, then found themselves in the cross-hairs of someone very special. On June 4 2003, The Assassin made his first TWF appearance and the TWF was frankly never the same. Hopkins took on The Assassin at Summer Break that year, but was made to look ordinary by the sheer superiority of the Masked Messiah. Ryan Jenkins then advanced to the finals of the King of the Ring 2003 tournament, but was the losing finalist in the tourney, which is best remembered for the post-victory drubbing Brownie gave his brother to set-up almost a year of hatred. Jason Davies, a real unknown quantity in the faction, won it's first championship, the TWF TV Title after defeating Blonde Man at Halloween Hell 2003, but, in early 2004, left the faction to the dismay of Taylor, Jenkins, Hopkins and Dimmock, the four other active members of the group. Whelan re-joined the activity of the group in May that year, and various combinations of teams attempted to win the Tag Team Championships, but to no avail. Dimmock then set his sights upon The Protégé and the TWF TV Championship, a title he eventually won at Shockwave. But a month later, Dimmock fell to the mammoth winning streak and dominance of Hades. Growing dismayed with the group following this, Dimmock, Jenkins and Hopkins left the faction to set up their splinter group, the Black Hoodie Crew.
