The Headbangers The Headbangers were the tag team of Mosh ( portrayed by Charles Warrington ) and Thrasher ( portrayed by Glen Ruth ) , whose most notable matches were in the World Wrestling Federation ( WWF ) . As the name of the team implied , their gimmick was that they were a pair of metalheads , complete with heavy metal related T - shirts , piercings , shaved heads , and black face paint . History . 1996 – 1998 . The team debuted on WWF television wearing nuns ' clothing and billed as the Flying Nuns , Sister Angelica and Mother Smucker . On an episode of " Shotgun Saturday Night " , Brother Love showed up to manage the Nuns . After the Nuns defeated the The Godwinns , Love renamed them the Sisters of Love . The gimmick was short - lived , but they kept the skirts when they became The Headbangers in January 1997 . They later had T - shirts with the phrase " Real men wear skirts " and occasionally wore sports bras over their shirts . The duo often carried a boombox to the ring , and on one occasion , Mosh vomited during an interview . Throughout 1997 , The Headbangers ( initially as heels , later as faces ) feuded with The Godwinns , as well as Doug Furnas and Phil Lafon , often finding themselves on the losing end . They faced Legion of Doom during their surprise return match on February 24 to a double countout . At WrestleMania 13 , The Headbangers won a 4 - way elimination match for a shot at the WWF Tag Team Championship . The team was seen on New York ' s WABC - TV in June , which re - aired on WWF programming . The Headbangers ' won the vacant Tag Team title at due to run - in interference by Steve Austin .

Mosh , repackaged as Beaver Cleavage and then Chaz , performed in singles competition and began having problems with his on - screen girlfriend , Marianna Komlos . He was kayfabe arrested on an episode of " Sunday Night Heat " in September after Komlos claimed he hit her . After Chaz ' s match on October 5 , Glen Ruth ( Thrasher ) showed GTV footage of Mariana applying makeup to create the effect of wounds .

They then took on a gimmick where they dressed as the opponents that they feuded with , such as the Dudley Boyz and Mean Street Posse . The duo later turned heel and began to dress in drag , which included wearing breast cones . Mosh entered in the 2000 Royal Rumble alone ; however , The Headbangers continued performing in tag team and singles matches . Both men participated in the Hardcore battle royal at WrestleMania 2000 where Thrasher held the title for 43 seconds . The team continued battling the likes of Too Cool and T & A until mid 2000 . They separated , and Mosh joined D ' Lo Brown as Chaz to form Lo Down . Glen Ruth was released from WWF in 2000 and performed independently briefly before retiring . Charles Warrington was released from WWF in July 2001 and continues to perform occasionally at Florida shows . Criticism by WWE . Years after their departure from the company , The Headbangers have been the brunt of criticism by WWE media . One example can be found in a June 2007 article from a special magazine about the history of WWE champions . The article criticized wrestlers who are considered not worthy of winning a belt they held . The Headbangers were included in this article for their supposedly poor Tag Team Championship reign . WWE ' s " Raw 15th Anniversary " magazine also includes a list of 15 superstars who " overstayed " their welcomes in the company . This has The Headbangers at # 2 , behind only Scott Steiner . Reunion . Mosh and Thrasher were to be reuniting for the first time in 10 years at the Baltimore Pro Wrestling Expo on November 14 , 2009 , but the event was cancelled .
