Tag Team Name: Life Before Death
Members: Lucas 'The Icon' Thames, Mike Zybala and the 'Champion of Managers' Peter 'The Janitor' Vaughn
Combined Weight: 595lbs (Zybala and Vaughn both 175lbs, Lucas 245lbs)
Reason for coming together as a unit: Peter Vaughn essentially. Zybala and Vaughn were already on friendly terms and Zybala put Vaughn through his paces to train him using some rather......unorthodox methods. Thames took Vaughn on as a protégé as well however, using more mainstream methods. And now, he's a 3x Outsiders Champion. Also... Zybala's morals seem to align with Lucas's.

Tag Team Name: Life Before Death
Members: Lucas 'The Icon' Thames, Mike Zybala and the 'Champion of Managers' Peter 'The Janitor' Vaughn
Combined Weight: 595lbs (Zybala and Vaughn both 175lbs, Lucas 245lbs)
Entrance: The lights dim as Battle without Honor of Humanity starts playing. When the drums and trumpets hit, out walks Lucas Thames and Mike Zybala, dressed for action. They are flanked by Peter Vaughn, dressed in a disheveled suit and sunglasses and making the look work, a real Orange Cassidy vibe going. Vaughn and Zybala move in slow motion to match the music and trying to look bad ass as Thames shakes his head and moves normally, usually getting to the ring before his partners. Zybala and Vaughn walk slow-mo down the ramp while high fiving fans. They slowly get in the ring and all strike slow-mo poses in the middle of the ring.
Moves: (For all three) Usual double team moves. Double Suplex, Backdrop, Stomps, etc. Thames is the muscle so usually does most of the heavy lifting.
(Zybala or Vaughn & Thames) Check your Neck: Thames powerbombs the opponent. On the way down, Zybala or Vaughn leaps up to deliver a Neck Stabber (Backstabber to the neck instead of the back)
Tap or Snap: Thames locks on his rolling knee bar/ankle lock combo. Zybala then grabs the opponent's other leg and locks in the Annie Wilkes Special (Half crab/ankle lock combo)
The Melon Chrusher: Zybala or Vaughn superkicks opponent at the same time Thames hit the Lights Out (roundhouse kick to back of the head.)
(Vaughn and Zybala) God Damn Flippy Shit!: (To downed opponent near corner) Vaughn hits a frog splash, followed by a moonsault from Zybala. Vaughn then climbs the ropes again to hit The Plunge, followed by Zybala hitting a 450.
(All Three) The Flying Janitor: Thames and Zybala lift opponent up for a double Suplex (sometimes Zybala walks away to showcase the strength of Thames). Vaughn climbs to the top rope and leaps off with either a spear, cross body, or dropkick to hanging opponent.
Now THAT'S! Iconic: Vaughn and Zybala hit a double superkick at the same time as Thames hits The Lights Out.
Get Fucked: Zybala and Thames lock on Tap or Snap while Vaughn locks on a Crippler Crossface.
Death From Above: Thames sits on a top rope as Zybala and Vaughn lift an opponent up to him. They then run to opposite turnbuckles and climb to the top. Thames then hits a top rope powerbomb. When the opponent crashes to the mat, Zybala and Vaughn leap off the top with flying elbow drops.
LETS GO BUFFALO!!: Usually during hardcore matches or when trying to send a message. Someone sets up a table and the trio Triple Powerbombs the opponent through it, Shield style. Vaughn and Thames then have to stop Zybala from trying to jump through a different table because Buffalo Bills fans are nuts. This last part only occurs during Football season.

Done and Done: Similar to the Melon Crusher/Now THAT's iconic in that Zybala and/or Vaughn will hit Superkicks but as they do Thames will take the opponent down in the Iconizer neckbreaker. The impact of the superkicks will happen as Lucas twists his leg down into the neckbreaker (hence the kicks will be at a lower angle).
This will either be a double team or triple team move.
