BASIC INFORMATION
TEAM NAME: The New Age Killers.
MEMBERS OF THE TEAM: James Raymond and Jason Long.
COMBINED WEIGHT: Three hundred and ninety-seven pounds. (397lbs)
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
PIC BASES: Daniel Garcia [Raymond], Seth Rollins [Long].
ENTRANCE DESCRIPTION
THEME SONG: "No Love” by Death Grips.
ENTRANCE DESCRIPTION:
The heavy beats of "No Love" by Death Grips hits the speakers as the house lights shine down to the drumming beat over the speakers. Flashes of Jason Long and James Raymond with their respective singles championship gold appear on the Tron with each beat that passes.
"How the trip
Never stops
On and on
It's beyond insane
Why I set
Myself up
In a raging sea of flames?"
The instrumental pours through the P.A. System as the lights come to life and flash down onto the stage, the New Age Killers logo filling the Tron as fans within the arena bang their heads to the beat of the song. The house light spiralled around the arena as the Tron flashes the team work of both Jason Long and James Raymond as a team.
"You're fit ta learn the proper meaning of a beatdown
Madness chaos in the brain
Let my blood flow, make my blood flow through you mane
You got no business questioning a thang"
Once the lyrics hit the speakers, the curtain flies open and The New Age Killers slowly walk through, making their presence known with each step they take before stopping at the top of the ramp and looking out to the sold-out arena in front of them. Jason looks out to the crowd, James crouches down and brushes his hand along the steel floor below. Jason taps James on the shoulder as he rises up to his feet and they both look at one another, smiling before looking out to the crowd once more.
“Never not on it, leanin' so hard you're ashamed
You can't dismiss this sick transmission huffs your brain
Exhale your will and forget I ever knew you
Fuck do you do?
Fuck a man wit hips for hulu”
They soon fist bump and make their way down to the ring, sliding under the bottom rope and leaping up onto the turnbuckles, on opposite sides of one another, as they stand there and soak in the crowd’s positive reactions for both men. They both drop down from the ropes and stand in their respected corner, waiting for their challengers to enter the arena/staring down their opponents with a dead serious look in their eyes.

Glory; you just want to win and nothing else matters to you

BIOGRAPHY
In bullet-point form:
- Jason and James have known each other for years before ever meeting back up again in The XHF Network but after James’ last criminal charges sent him to jail for a period of time, Jason wouldn’t think he’d see his partner again.
- The team began after some falling out between members of The Icons back in 2018, forming The New Age Killers in March of that year; shortly after AWF’s Road To Victory where they set the challenge down on The Icons themselves.
- They won in their debut match on an episode of AXW’s Anonymous TV in April of that year against The Icons (Bobby Barratt and Brad Swann) after some help from Jack Diamond as the special guest referee.
- They would then challenge for the XHF Tag Team Championships at Night of Champions IX in an unsuccessful attempt against The Guns, which left the team with nothing to do afterward. They would find themselves back in the firing range once again but fell short of the newly debuting team of The Nihilists and then in the 2018 Tag Team Annihilator within the first round they were knocked out by Sakura-Gun.
- The team went on their own separate ways after this with James Raymond soon being brought into The Arrogant Violent Assholes and Jason continuing The Icons lineage as he captured the XHF Tag Team Championships with Nathan Santiago in April 2019.
- The team reformed after two whole years of being apart and were the first official team announced for the upcoming J-ROK Sakura Tag League, which they won after beating The Harbingers in the Finals.
- After gaining some traction, they began showing signs of their older days and began to lose a few matches. Eventually, they cashed in their shot at the XHF Tag Team Championships at the 2021 XHF Rumble event— soon losing to The BANG! Bros.
- At the J-ROK Anniversary Show, they cashed in their Sakura Tag League prize to win the J-ROK Super Duos Championships from SKY Force. After the show, they challenged the XHF Tag Team Champions to a match at XHF Supremacy — who would turn out to be The Crinkly Bottom Boys.
- The match at XHF Supremacy ended up turning into a draw between the two teams, eventually ending up having a rematch at NLW Masquerade II a month later where The New Age Killers finally had won the titles and now have completed a four year long quest to become the champions.
