| - | '''The Matteson-Kelmsley Faction''' was a [[Heel (professional wrestling)|villainous]] [[List of professional wrestling terms#S|stable]] in the [[IWE|International Wrestling Federation]], which was founded in late 1999, had mostly faded away by early 2001 and finally ended in mid-2002.

| - | | + | |
| - | The period of its existence and dominance was also dubbed the '''Matteson-Kelmsley Regime''' and the '''Matteson-Kelmsley Era'''. Although initially it was an affront to [[The Corporation (professional wrestling)|The Corporation]] by the daughter of the owner, [[Kaila Matteson]], and one of its biggest up-and-coming stars, [[Triple K]], it evolved into an alliance between then-heel stable, [[D-Generation X]] and a resurrected Corporation. It also included the majority of all heel wrestlers in the company at the time.
