The Bad Street Boys was a professional wrestling tag team in the independent circuit. It was initially formed as a stable, consisting of Gregory Helms, Shannon Moore, Joey Matthews and Christian York. The stable later became a tag team when Helms and Moore were signed by World Championship Wrestling (WCW), reducing the members to York and Matthews.
In 1997, four young indy wrestlers Gregory Helms, Shannon Moore, Joey Matthews and Christian York formed a stable Badstreet Boys that wrestled in many independent promotions, including Organization of Modern Extreme Grappling Arts (OMEGA).
York and Matthews would often team up with each other and won the Mid-Eastern Wrestling Federation (MEWF) Tag Team Championship on October 23, 1997, defeating Steve Corino and Jimmy Cicero and fellow challengers Mark Schrader and Corporal Punishment in a Three Way Match. On November 13, York and Matthews were beaten for the titles by Jimmy Cicero and Julio Sanchez. On December 20, 1998, York and Matthews won their second tag team championship by defeating The Blue Meanie and Super Nova for the Steel City Wrestling (SCW) Tag Team Championship. On April 1, 1999, they lost the titles to Lou Marconi and Dennis Gregory.
