Character Histories:
The two meet while wrestling for a northern Indiana based wrestling league. At the time they were both vieing for individual titles. Then at a supercard Main Event they teamed uped for the first time and ended up in a high profile fued for the federation. During one of those matches the commentaters mentioned that the two reminded them of a football backfield where one running back was quick like lightning while the other was the bruiser. The two soon offically teamed up under the name Thunder and Lightning. They have been together as a team for the last two years.

Before that "Lightning" Jake Miller was a member of the tag team Amish Extreme. The two parted ways in 2003 without any ill feelings when Jake wanted to drop the Amish part of the gimmick and focus more on the Extreme. Since then he has traveled all over the country honing his skills jumping off the highest parts of the arena he can find and diving off the top rope as far as he can. He likes to think of himself as the second best Extreme Aerilist in the country.

On one of those stops he would up in the Northern Indiana Wrestling Federation, where the had just signed a brand new talent who just graduated from school named Tommy Johnson.

Tommy Johnson had just started wrestling and was challenging anybody and everybody to beat him in submission matches. The two did meet one time in the ring in a elimination battle royal. They had thrown everybody out of the ring and were the only two left. It however was only for a couple of minutes before more compititors entered the ring. They were part of the final 5 when the last three entrants teamed up aganst the two eliminating them. As a result of that match a heated fued began which saw the two become friend and teamates.

The two have had several offers to join the ranks of developmental leagues of some big time federations but don't want to get involved with the lack of morals and integrity that they have become known for. With the association of the University of Indianapolis the two are confident that the EWA can keep its integrity while at the same time create a product that is intense and enjoyable to watch.

Thunder and Lightning are thrilled to bring thier air and ground attack to the UPW
