The Disciples of the New Church, also known as the New Church Disciples or simply The New Church, were a professional wrestling stable in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) from June 19, 2002 to October 1, 2003.

History

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (2002-2003)

Originally, The Disciples of the New Church formed as a heel stable consisting of Tempest, Slash, and Malice, along with Father James Mitchell as their manager. They were all introduced in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) on June 19 2002 when they competed in the Gauntlet for the Gold: an over-the-top rope elimination match in which the final two competitors face off in a one-fall singles match to crown the first NWA World Heavyweight Champion of the TNA era. [cite web|url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauntlet_for_the_Gold|title=Gauntlet for the Gold|publisher=English Wikipedia|accessdate=2008-06-05] Malice and Ken Shamrock were the last two remaining in the Gauntlet for the gold match, with Ken Shamrock winning via pinfall, thus leading up to a feud between him and The New Church. [cite web|url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/tna/020619.html|title=NWA:TNA PPV results - June 19, 2002|publisher=Online World of Wrestling|accessdate=2008-06-05]

On the next PPV, the following week, The New Church interrupted a speech by Ken Shamrock. James Mitchell challenged Shamrock to a match with his Disciple, Malice, for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, and Ken Shamrock agreed. Then Malice attacked Shamrock from behind in the ring and gave him a chokeslam. On July 3, Ken Shamrock was attacked by Malice backstage before their match even started, but Ken Shamrock competed to face Malice in the ring regardless and retained his NWA World Title after he defeated Malice in a singles match. [cite web|url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/tna/020703.html|title=NWA:TNA PPV results - July 3, 2002|publisher=Online World of Wrestling|accessdate=2008-06-05] On July 10, Slash and Tempest got a shot at the Tag Team Titles against A.J. Styles and Jerry Lynn but were defeated.

[cite web|url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/tna/020717.html|title=NWA:TNA PPV results - July 17, 2002|publisher=Online World of Wrestling|accessdate=2008-06-05] On July 24, Malice stole the NWA World Heavyweight Championship from Ken Shamrock after he retained it in a ladder match with Sabu, [cite web|url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/tna/020724.html|title=NWA:TNA PPV results - July 24, 2002|publisher=Online World of Wrestling|accessdate=2008-06-05] but on July 31, Shamrock got it back when TNA security Don Harris interrupted after a match involving Malice and Apolo, taking the NWA World Heavyweight Championship away from Malice to bring it to its rightful owner, Ken Shamrock. [cite web|url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/tna/020731.html|title=NWA:TNA PPV results - July 31, 2002|publisher=Online World of Wrestling|accessdate=2008-06-05]

After Malice's brief feud with Ken Shamrock, he started feuding with Don Harris. On August 7, Malice and Harris wrestled each other in a first blood match, [cite web|url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/tna/020807.html|title=NWA:TNA PPV results - August 7, 2002|publisher=Online World of Wrestling|accessdate=2008-06-05] and then on August 14, they wrestled again in a last man standing match.cite web|url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/tna/020814.html|title=NWA:TNA PPV results - August 14, 2002|publisher=Online World of Wrestling|accessdate=2008-06-05] After their last man standing match, both of them shook hands in respect for their match together. Malice then left The Disciples of the New Church. [http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/profiles/f/flash-flanagan.html Cobain] then became apart of the stable, and made a tag team with Slash. [cite web|url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/tna/020828.html|title=NWA:TNA PPV results - August 28, 2002|publisher=Online World of Wrestling|accessdate=2008-06-05] Cobain and Slash wrestled together as tag teams in TNA throughout August and September 2002, but then made a short disappearance.

The Disciples of the New Church returned to TNA on October 30 2002. Brian Lee became the newest member after their return and made a tag team with Slash, along with James Mitchell and Bella Donna as their manager. They attacked the then current NWA World Tag Team Champions, America's Most Wanted (James Storm and Chris Harris) demanding a shot at the NWA Tag Team Championships.cite web|url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/tna/021030.html|title=NWA:TNA PPV results - October 30, 2002|publisher=Online World of Wrestling|accessdate=2008-06-05] On November 6, The New Church members Slash and Brian Lee wrestled against America's Most Wanted in a tag team match for the NWA Tag Titles, but lost via disqualification.

The Disciples of the New Church turned babyfaces when they joined the battle with Team Extreme (Sandman, Perry Saturn and New Jack) and the NWA against Sports Entertainment Xtreme (S.E.X.). On April 9, Disciples turned on Team Extreme in a three-way tag team match by attacking them through a fireball in Sandman's face.

James) in a six-man tag team match.
