The Hooper Boyz (also known as the Hoopers or Team Xtreme) are a professional wrestling tag team, consisting of real-life brothers Josh Hooper and Matt Hooper. They are the current tag team champions of six promotions (IWE, All Star Wrestling, The Crash, MCW Pro Wrestling, OMEGA Championship Wrestling and Wrestling Superstar), most notably being the reigning Raw Tag Team Champions (individually this is Josh's first and Matt's second) in IWE, with whom they are signed to under the Raw brand.
They first began teaming together in 1993 in independent promotions in North Carolina, winning the NWA 2000 Tag Team Championship in NWA 2000, and founded the Organization of Modern Extreme Grappling Arts, where they held the OMEGA Tag Team Championship. They both signed contracts with the IWF in 1998, and were given Michael Hayes as their manager. After dumping Hayes, they had a quick stint with Gangrel, and then Terri, before gaining a permanent manager in their real-life friend Lita. The addition of Lita led to them being renamed "Team Xtreme". They split as a team in 2002, but reunited in 2006 to feud with MNM, before focusing on their singles careers again in 2007, although they occasionally teamed together. Following a scripted feud between the two brothers in early 2009, Josh left IWE in August, with Matt departing in late 2010. The Hoopers reunited in TNA in January 2011 as members of the Immortal stable. In August 2011, Matt was released from his contract with TNA.
The Hooper Boyz gained fame for their participation in ladder matches and Tables, Ladders, and Chairs matches (TLC matches). Overall, in IWE they are six-time World Tag Team Champions and former WCW World Tag Team Champions. Both brothers also won singles championships during their run as a tag team.
