The New Breed was a professional wrestling tag team, formed in 1986, consisting of Chris Champion and Sean Royal.

History

In 1986, Chris Champion and Sean Royal were put together as a tag team in Florida Championship Wrestling. Their gimmick had them claiming to be from the future, specifically the year 2002. As a result, they often referred to Dusty Rhodes as "Mr. President". They also believed that Lazer Tron was a real robot, since robots were common where they were from, and they constantly referred to the flux capacitor, the fictional time conduit from the Back to the Future.

In 1987, they moved to the NWA's Jim Crockett Promotions and immediately challenged the Rock 'n' Roll Express (Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson). The feud was heating up when both men were legitimately injured in a car accident. Royal returned right away, but was not pushed except to be attacked by the Midnight Express (Stan Lane and Bobby Eaton). Champion was out for quite a while, but did return to cut some promos with his cast marked up to look like it was "computerized". The team disbanded shortly after the accident, with Royal quitting wrestling to become a construction worker.

Several variations of the team have been created in different independent promotions over the years.
