America's Most Wanted (AMW) was a professional wrestling tag team consisting of "Wildcat" Chris Harris and "Tennessee Cowboy" James Storm, who competed in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). They were managed in the later stage of their pairing by Gail Kim.

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 called The Dupps refused to fight the Rainbow Express (Lenny and Bruce). Storm and Harris won the match, and joined forces from then on.
The team became 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 (with whom they had match of the year in 2004) 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 served as enforcers and backup for Jeff Jarrett and Gail Kim. They had 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's sixth (and final) reign as the NWA World Tag Team Champions was also the longest reign in the belt's history since it's revived inception in 1998. They 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 A.J. Styles and Christopher Daniels.
After losing the belts they once again turned face and started feuding with the Latin American Exchange. At Turning Point, AMW lost a flag match to LAX. When James Storm hit Homicide with a beer bottle, glass flew into the eyes of Harris. Storm blamed the loss on Harris. AMW got a re-match on the December 14, 2006 edition of iMPACT in a "Titles vs. Team" match with the stipulation that AMW would have to split up if they lost. They lost after Storm deliberately hit Harris with a beer bottle.[1] Storm and Harris feuded soon afterwards, with Storm turning heel.
