Prichard and Del Ray
In May 1993, Lane left the team after losing a loser-of-the-fall leaves town match. The team continued with Lane replaced by Pritchard's "cousin" "Gigolo" Jimmy Del Ray. Over the next few years, the new duo competed not only in SMW but also in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), and the United States Wrestling Association (USWA). They continued their feud with The Rock 'n' Roll Express in these promotions and began new rivalries with the Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner), and The Smoking Gunns (Bart and Billy Gunn).[3]
In July 1993, SMW's working agreement with the WWF allowed the Heavenly Bodies and The Rock 'n' Roll Express to wrestle on the organization's pay-per-view shows.[4][5] Prichard and Del Ray unsuccessfully challenged for the WWF Tag Team Championship at SummerSlam 1993[3] but captured the SMW Tag Team Championship against The Rock 'n' Roll Express three months later at Survivor Series 1993.[6]
During their time in the WWF, they wrestled a tour for All Japan Pro Wrestling in May 1994, and returned to SMW in the summer of 1994 to feud with teams like The Rock 'n' Roll Express, The Thrillseekers (Chris Jericho and Lance Storm) and The Gangstas (New Jack and Mustafa Saed).
In 1995, The Bodies defeated PG-13 (J. C. Ice and Wolfie D) to capture the USWA Tag Team Championship. Later in the year, Prichard and Del Ray also competed in ECW,[3] aligning themselves with Raven (see Raven's Nest) to face off against The Public Enemy (Rocco Rock and Johnny Grunge). Following the November 1995 closure of SMW, the Heavenly Bodies disbanded. Their last match as a team occurred in ECW on December 9, 1995, losing to The Public Enemy. Prichard joined the WWF as Zip of The Bodydonnas while Del Ray competed on the independent circuit and in WCW as "Jimmy Graffti".
Del Ray died of a heart attack on December 6, 2014.
