New Ghetto Boys

The Unlikely Rise and Fall of New Ghetto Boys

Andrew Patterson and Rico Bushido were never the kind of guys who fit in with the rest of the pack. As New Ghetto Boys, they carved out their own niche in the Europa promotion between 2006 and 2007, leaving a trail of chaos and destruction in their wake.

Their first match on July 7th, 2007 was a baptism by fire, pitting them against the reigning champions. And yet, despite being the underdogs, they managed to eke out a narrow victory, setting off a chain reaction that would have far-reaching consequences.

As they tore through Europa's tag team division, the New Ghetto Boys' unorthodox style and reckless abandon proved to be a breath of fresh air in an otherwise stale landscape. Their matches were always unpredictable, often violent, and occasionally brilliant.

But as their star rose, so did tensions between Patterson and Bushido. The partnership that had once been forged in chaos began to fray at the seams, with each man convinced that he was the driving force behind their success.

Their last match on July 7th, 2007, against all comers, was a microcosm of their entire run together. A messy, hard-hitting affair that left everyone involved reeling. And when it was all said and done, Patterson and Bushido went their separate ways, leaving behind only the faintest whispers of what could have been.

In hindsight, the New Ghetto Boys' meteoric rise and precipitous fall can be seen as a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked ambition and the fleeting nature of success. But for those who witnessed it firsthand, there will always be a certain mystique surrounding this improbable duo, whose brief but glorious existence continues to captivate and inspire to this day.
