History:  

(taken, and adjusted from the Hall Of Fame page write-up on the Dark Church)

The Dark Church were easily one of the best tag teams in AGW history but they also were purely astounding in singles matches as well. The AGW was the first and only league that these two wrestled in as a team and between them, they have held almost every single title in the AGW. With a formidable blend of power, speed, finesse and ring savvy, these two were virtually unstoppable in the ring and often their title reigns easily lasted over a month each. Another piece of proof about how good they are is that they won the first ever AGW Vs. The World Tag Team Tournament, defeating not only AGW Tag Teams, but teams all over the world. However, this also marked one of the last times the world thought they would see the Dark Church in action. In late '98, their two year contract ran out, and having done more in those 2 years than most men can do in their entire careers, they decided to travel overseas to Japan. At the AVTW tournament, they met some Japanese promoters who begged for the Church to come there. Also, both men have been special guest stars in various episodes of Hercules and Xena. As of the year 2000, both men were still active, although wrestling just a part time schedule while pursuing other interests.

Then suddenly, in 2002, the Dark Church decided to make a comeback to the AGW. They had been overseas for several years and wanted to come back to regain stardom in the U.S.A. And they've certainly been able to make their marks, with the Rogue once again able to hold the AGW World Title and the team gaining the World Tag Belts for the 4th time (6th if you count the classic AGW "bingo hall" days). Throughout the Dark Church's days, the Rogue has had the support of the love of his life, Rose Morris, aka the White Rose. And in June of 2003, it was announced that Rose is pregnant with their first child. So not only does Rogue have a successfully revived wrestling career in the AGW, but he will soon be a father as well. Things are looking up for the future of the Dark Church.
