The Heart Throbs, who have portrayed heels, mainly appeared on the RAW
B-show, HEAT. They have had short-lived feuds with William Regal and
Eugene, Hurricane and Rosey, and V-Squared (Val Venis and Viscera) but
have mainly been used as jobbers.
In April 2005, "William Regal" (Darren Matthews) and "Tajiri" (Yoshihiro Tajiri) successfully defended their World Tag Team Championships against the debuting "Romeo" (Giovanni Roselli) and "Antonio" (Thomas), known collectively as "The Heart Throbs". They would go on to participate in a Tag-Team Turmoil match for the World Tag Team
Championship at WWE Backlash.
