'''The Hooper Boyz''' (also known as the '''Hoopers''' or '''Team Xtreme''') are a [[Professional Wrestling|professional wrestling]] [[Tag Team|tag team]], consisting of real-life brothers [[Josh Hooper|Josh]] and [[Matt Hooper]]. They are best known for their time in the [[IWE|International Wrestling Federation]] (IWF), later renamed International Wrestling Entertainment (IWE), and now work for [[Total Nonstop Action Wrestling]] (TNA), where they are TNA World Tag Team Champions.

They first began teaming together in 1993 in [[Independent Circuit|independent promotions]] in [[North Carolina]], winning the NWA 2000 Tag Team Championship in [[National Wrestling Alliance|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 (wrestler)|Michael Hayes]] as their [[Manager (professional wrestling)|manager]]. After dumping Hayes, they had a quick stint with [David Heath Miller (wrestler)|Gangrel]], and then [[Terri Semmler|Terri]], before gaining a permanent manager in their real-life friend [[Christina Dumas|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 (wrestling)|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 (professional wrestling)|Immortal]] [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Stable|stable]]. In August 2011, Matt was released from his contract with TNA.
