The Cole Twins were a professional wrestling tag team consisting of twin brothers Kent and Keith Cole. They competed in North American regional and independent promotions, however the twins were best known for their stint in World Championship Wrestling during the early 1990s. During their time in WCW, they feuded with several tag teams including Tex Slazenger and Shanghai Pierce, The Wrecking Crew (Rage and Fury), Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray) and The Hollywood Blonds (Brian Pillman and Steve Austin).
Brought in as a regular tag team by then booker Dusty Rhodes in late-1992, the Cole Twins would frequently appear on WCW Saturday Night, WCW Main Event and WCW Worldwide during the next year. In early-1993, Keith Cole wrestled without his brother such as, on January 11, he teamed with Chris Sullivan who lost to The Wrecking Crew (Rage and Fury) at the Center Stage Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia on January 11, 1993. On February 2, he lost a singles match to Maxx Payne and, at the same event, served as one of twelve "lumberjacks" in the main event between Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat and "Flyin'" Brian Pillman. The other wrestlers included Steve Regal, Marcus Bagwell, Robbie V, Shane Douglas, 2 Cold Scorpio, Vinnie Vegas, Steve Austin, Shangahi Pierce and Tex Slazenger and Cactus Jack and Maxx Payne.
