Ron and Don Harris made the news earlier this year when Aroluxe, their marketing and production company, attempted to purchase TNA back in April. It was the first time they'd made a major ripple in the business since walking away from TNA's active talent roster in 2005, and they worked for WWE for several years in the mid-90s.

The Harris Twins have operated under a number of different gimmicks throughout their time in the business. Their most notable WWE run came as the Disciples of Apocalypse's Skull and 8-Ball, but they were originally introduced to WWE fans as The Blu Brothers in 1995.

Managed by Uncle Zebekiah (Dutch Mantell/Zeb Colter), Jacob and Eli Blu were a couple of scruffy-looking brawlers who wore what looked like potato sacks on their torsos. They had a unique look and boasted tremendous size (both Harris brothers are 6'7"), but that's about the best you can say for their first run: the Blu Brothers accomplished next to nothing in 1995, and were soon heading back to ECW, the promotion they came from in the first place.
