'''The Hunter Brothers''' are the professional wrestling [[Tag Team Match|tag team]] of American brothers [[Rick Hunter]] and [[Scott Hunter]].

The team debuted in 1989, and competed in promotions such as [[Xtreme Championship Wrestling]], [[New Japan Pro Wrestling]], [[World Championship Wrestling (WCW)|World Championship Wrestling]] and the [[IWE|International Wrestling Federation]], winning in the process 10 World Tag Team and one United States Tag Team [[Championship|Championships]], before disbanding in 1998. The brothers reunited on the [[Independent Circuit|independent circuit]] in the early 2000s, and [[Total Nonstop Action Wrestling]] in May 2007.

<small><sup>1</sup>While this Mid-Atlantic promotion is an NWA affiliated promotion, operates out of the same region as the first Mid-Atlantic promotion, and has revived some of the championships it used, it isn't the same promotion. The original Mid-Atlantic promotion was once owned by Jim Crockett, Jr. and was sold outright to Ted Turner in November 1988. The promotion was then renamed World Championship Wrestling.</small>
