Unholy Alliance may refer to:
The Unholy Alliance was the tag team of Mikey Whipwreck and Yoshihiro Tajiri in Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW). They were managed by The Sinister Minister.
Whipwreck and Tajiri became tag team partners soon after Tajiri was kicked out of The Network. On August 24, 2000, Whipwreck and Tajiri won a one-night tournament to be crowned new ECW World Tag Team Champions (Justin Credible "dropped" the belts so he could face Tommy Dreamer for the ECW Title) when they defeated Tommy Dreamer and Jerry Lynn and Simon Diamond and Johnny Swinger in a 3-way match in the finals. They lost the title to The Full Blooded Italians (Little Guido and Tony Mamaluke) the following night.
At both Anarchy Rulz and November to Remember 2000, the Unholy Alliance failed to recapture the title from the FBI. On January 7, 2001, Tajiri and Whipwreck beat Kid Kash and Super Crazy and FBI in a 3-way dance at Guilty as Charged 2001 to become the number one condenters to Danny Doring and Roadkill's ECW Tag Team Championship. The match never happened as ECW went bankrupt soon after.
It came up crawling from the ruins of the past
And I just can't believe my eyes
It wears the same old face we thought was dead and gone
Forever buried by the time
Unholy alliance
Unholy alliance
It came up screaming from the ashes of the grave
To make this world a battlefield
It's got a voice that steals the courage from the brave
And leaves a scar that will not heal
Unholy alliance (4x)
Don't want to hear the same old lie that spreads the fear
Only fools think it's cool
We must be blind and care not to see the signs
How can we dare to look away in the wake of yesterday
Troubled times don't turn your back to the lions
Troubled times just learn your lesson well
The party is over
We must be blind and care not to see the signs
How can we dare to look away in the wake of yesterday
Troubled times don't turn your back to the lions
Troubled times just learn your lesson well
The party is over
