They initially https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feud_(professional_wrestling) with the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steiner_Brothers but were unable to defeat them for the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WCW_United_States_Tag_Team_Championship. In December 1990, they left WCW and joined the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE (then known as the WWF), debuting on the December 29, 1990, episode of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWF_Superstars_of_Wrestling.
Along with their https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manager_(professional_wrestling) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Hart, The Nasty Boys quickly announced their intention to "Nastisize the WWF". They became number one contenders after winning a seven team battle royal on February 16, 1991, that aired on WWF Superstars. On March 24, 1991, they eliminated https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Road_Warriors thanks to interference from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_and_Glory and defeated https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hart_Foundation at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WrestleMania_VII in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles to win the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Tag_Team_Championship_(WWE).
The Nasty Boys held the title until https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SummerSlam_(1991) at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madison_Square_Garden on August 26, 1991, where they were defeated by Legion of Doom in a no disqualification, no count out match. They then feuded with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rockers and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bushwhackers, leading to a match at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivor_Series_(1991) in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit, where they teamed with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beverly_Brothers to defeat both teams. In early 1992, The Nasty Boys had a feud with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Duggan and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sgt._Slaughter that culminated in an eight-man tag team match at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WrestleMania_VIII in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indianapolis, where Duggan, Slaughter, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Boss_Man, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgil_(wrestler) defeated The Nasty Boys, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques_Rougeau, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smash_(wrestler). That fall, they turned face and dumped Jimmy Hart as their manager after Hart overlooked them for a tag team title match against https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Natural_Disasters, instead giving the title shot to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_Inc. Knobbs and Sags teamed with The Natural Disasters to defeat Money Inc. and The Beverly Brothers at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivor_Series_(1992) in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richfield_Township,_Summit_County,_Ohio, but The Nasty Boys were unable to regain the title.On the March 13, 1993, edition of WWF Superstars, The Nasty Boys agreed to step aside and allow https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hulk_Hogan and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brutus_Beefcake to have a one-time title shot against Money Inc. at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WrestleMania_IX at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesars_Palace in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Las_Vegas. They then entered a house show series against https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Samoan_SWAT_Team and wrestled to double disqualifications on several occasions. Their feud spilled onto WWF television, and they wrestled once more to a double disqualification against https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rikishi_(wrestler) and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samu_(wrestler) on the Italian version of WWF Superstars in which both teams hit each other with chairs in a post-match brawl.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nasty_Boys#cite_note-5 In April 1993, after a European tour, The Nasty Boys were suspended and later fired from the company. Their final television appearance came on May 16, 1993, when they defeated jobbers Steve Vega and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Horowitz on WWF Superstars.
The Nasty Boys returned to WCW in July 1993 as heels managed by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missy_Hyatt. They defeated https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arn_Anderson and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Roma at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall_Brawl_%2793:_War_Games in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houston to become https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WCW_World_Tag_Team_Championship. They then lost the championship on October 4 to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buff_Bagwell and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2_Cold_Scorpio before regaining it on October 24. In 1994, they fought https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mick_Foley and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxx_Payne in a series of wild brawls. They were supposed to feud with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Sullivan_(wrestler) and his (kayfabe) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyslexia brother https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Sullivan_(wrestler), who called himself Evad ("Dave" backwards). Evad, however, injured his knee, and Sullivan convinced Cactus Jack to team with him. The Nasty Boys lost the title to the thrown together team of Jack and Sullivan in a wild street fight at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slamboree_(1994)
