The Impact Players formed when Lance Storm and Justin Credible started teaming in ECW in the summer of 1999. Storm brought along his valet, Dawn Marie, and Credible brought along his manager, Jason. Together, they formed one of the most dominant units in ECW history.
They first feuded with Jerry Lynn and Sabu in singles matches and by late 1999, they had begun a violent feud with Tommy Dreamer and The Sandman.
They won the ECW Tag-Team Championship at Guilty As Charged when they defeated Dreamer and his unwilling partner, Raven. They dominated the tag team scene for the next four months before splitting when Storm left for WCW and Credible won the ECW World Heavyweight Championship.
During the Invasion storyline, both Storm and Credible were a part of The Alliance, but never wrestled in tag matches together.
They reunited at One Night Stand on June 12, 2005, when Justin helped Storm defeat Chris Jericho at the PPV, and again later the same year on Hardcore Homecoming: November Reign when Storm helped Credible in his cage match against Jerry Lynn.
Storm and Credible were scheduled as part of British promotion 1PW's Tag Title Tournament, to reform the Impact Players, but Credible missed his flight in order to be a part of WWE's ECW brand.
