Powerteam USA were a short lived group of four bodybuilders turned wrestlers in the California wrestling territories in late 1985.

History

Powerteam USA made their professional wrestling debut in 1985 after being trained by Red Bastien and Rick Bassman and consisted of Steve Borden (who would later gain success under the moniker of Sting), Jim Hellwig, who would later gain success as (The Ultimate) Warrior, Garland Donoho and Mark Miller.cite news|author = Power Slam Staff|title=In His Prime: Sting|work = Power Slam | publisher = SW Publishing LTD| page = 36 | date = March 2000 | accessdate = 2007-06-23 | language = English | quote = When Powerteam members Garland Donoho and Mark Miller...] The team was managed by Bassman as they tried to break into the wrestling business.

After only a short time in the business both Donoho and Miller quit due to lack of success and business savvy. Only Hellwig and Borden remained, teaming together as they traveled to Jerry Jarrett's Continental Wrestling Association and later on to Bill Watts Universal Wrestling Federation as The Blade Runners before splitting up.

Manager Rick Bassman would eventually become a pro wrestler himself and a wrestling and Mixed Martial Arts promoter in California where he founded and runs Ultimate Pro Wrestling
