The Tennessee Volunteerz was a professional wrestling tag team, consisting of Reno Riggins and Steven Dunn. They competed in National Wrestling Alliance and its territory, Music City Wrestling (MCW) during the late 1990s. During their tenure in MCW, Volunteers were the promotion's top tag team, having won the promotion's North American Tag Team Championship 6 times. They were also 1 time NWA World Tag Team Champions.
In 1997, Reno Riggins and Steven Dunn began teaming in National Wrestling Alliance's territory, Music City Wrestling (MCW) as Tennessee Volunteers, named after the sports teams of the University of Tennessee. They received a quick push, winning their first MCW North American Tag Team Championship from Thrillbilly and Shane Eden on January 27, 1998. They lost the titles to Ladies Night Out (Frenchy Rivera and Shane Eden) on February 21. On February 28, Volunteers regained the titles from Ladies Night Out. On March 21, Volunteers attacked MCW's promoter and were stripped of the titles. On May 30, Dunn won the title with his former Well Dunn partner Rex King. Immediately after the win, Dunn turned on King by joining Riggins in attacking King. Riggins took King's place as Dunn's tag team partner for the title.
