Curtis Thompson, the former Firebreaker Chip of World Championship Wrestling (WCW) joined Triple X during the team's Northern Continental Tag Team Title reign.[1] On September 11, 1999, Thompson replaced Brad Anderson and became Drake Dawson's partner as the Northern Continental Tag Team Champion.[1] At NWA's 51st Anniversary Show, Thompson and Dawson defeated The Sex Pistols (David Young and Shane Austin) in a four-team #1 contender's tournament for the NWA World Tag Team Championship.[2] They qualified to wrestle Team Extreme (Kit Carson and Khris Germany) in the #1 contender's match, which Triple X lost.[2]
As 2000 began, Triple X had become the top tag team of Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling. On March 3, Thompson and Dawson defeated Team Extreme for their first NWA World Tag Team Title.[3] On March 17, Triple X's Northern Continental Tag Team Championship was renamed the NWA Mid-Atlantic Tag Team Championship.[1][4] Holding both the titles, Triple X eventually lost the World Tag Team Championship to Main Event (Reno Riggins and Steven Dunn) on April 5.[3] On April 19, Triple X defeated L.A. Stephens and Big Bubba Pain for their second NWA World Tag Team Title.[3] Triple X held the title for 118 days. On August 15, Jeff Justice substituted for Dawson and teamed with Thompson during a title defense against Bad Attitude (David Young and Rick Michaels). Thompson and Justice lost the titles.[3] In September 2000, Triple X vacated the Mid-Atlantic Tag Team Title due to Dawson retiring from professional wrestling.[4] As a result, Triple X disbanded.
