The Renegade Warriors are the professional wrestling tag team of American brothers Mark and Chris Youngblood. They are the sons of Ricky Romero and the brothers of Jay Youngblood.
Mark and Chris Youngblood began teaming up in 1985, while in World Class Championship Wrestling. In September 1986, they were involved in a one-night tournament to determine new WCWA World Tag Team Champions; they defeated Jos LeDuc and Rick Rude in the first round, and defeated Ted and Jerry Oates in the quarterfinals, before losing the semifinals to Matt Borne and Buzz Sawyer, who would win the titles later that night.
Near the end of 1986, the Youngbloods went to Puerto Rico, to wrestle for the World Wrestling Council. On January 6, 1987, they won their first championship, the WWC World Tag Team Championship, defeating Ron and Chicky Starr. They would hold onto the belts until April 4, 1987, when they lost them to The Sheepherders, but regained the titles on May 10, 1987. Their second reign lasted two months, before losing them on July 11, 1987 to Mr. Pogo and TNT, but regained the titles on July 30, 1987. Their third reign lasted nearly a month before losing them to The Hunters (Dale Veasey and Bob Brown) on August 26, 1987, but regained the titles on September 20, 1987. Their fourth reign lasted until October 17, 1987, losing them to The Ninja Express (Mr. Pogo and Kendo Nagasaki).
