America's Most Wanted (AMW) is a professional wrestling tag team consisting of "Wildcat" Chris Harris and "Cowboy" James Storm, who currently compete in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA).
Before the tag team was formed, James Storm and Chris Harris were occasional rivals on the independent circuits. They were brought together at NWA-TNA #2 on June 26, 2002, when another tag team refused to fight the Rainbow Express. Storm and Harris won the match, and joined forces from then on.
The team would become one of the best known tag teams in TNA's history and they engaged in many feuds with such teams as The Naturals, Team Canada, 3Live Kru, Triple X, and Team 3D.
On September 15, 2005, AMW turned heel by siding with Jeff Jarrett and Team Canada, helping Jarrett win back the NWA World Heavyweight Championship from Raven in Canada.
Since then the team have served as enforcers and backup for Jeff Jarrett and Gail Kim. They've also sparked up a rivalry with Team 3D, assaulting them and leaving them bloody in the ring when they first debuted and staging a mock funeral for their careers afterwards.
AMW recently held the Tag Titles for the sixth time and they are probably the most successful team in TNA history and longest reigning NWA World Tag Team Champions since it's revived inception in 1998. They defended the tag titles against Sonjay Dutt and Chris Sabin at Against All Odds. AMW became the longest-reigning NWA World Tag Team Champions in TNA history on March 29, 2006, surpassing The Naturals reign of 24 weeks. They lost the belt at Slammiversary to Christopher Daniels and A.J. Styles
Because of their "heel" status, and Storm's penchant for wearing cowboy hats, the team is often jeered as "Brokeback Mountain", a reference to the popular movie about homosexual cowboys.
