The Powers That Be hired Ron and Don Harris to police WCW and assure that the Creative Team's edicts were treated like Divine Law. At over 6'5" and 280 pounds a piece, Creative Control my have dressed in suits, but they utilized barroom brawling tactics to punish troublemakers like Buff Bagwell, Booker T and The Filthy Animals. They're relationship with The Powers helped the team earn tag title gold, but at the cost of their individuality and self-respect. Real-life bikers, the Harris Boys had spent most of their careers staying true to their chosen lifestyle. As the Bruise Brothers and the WWF's Disciples of Apocalypse, Ron and Don held more than 17 tag titles and were considered the best of their generation. When The Powers created the nWo without informing Ron and Don, the well-dressed duo quit their jobs, dropped the monkey suits and began competing Harris-style. But when the nWo 2000, headed by The Chosen One, Jeff Jarrett came calling, the suits went back on, and the two monsters were initiated into the New "and improved" World Order. Ron and Don quickly earned their spots in the group, regaining the WCW Tag Team Titles. Setting the pace in WCW since his arrival in June 1994, Hogan has faced a myriad of foes with eight world titles to his credit. Launching the mega popularity of the New World Order, Hogan has teamed with Dennis Rodman against the likes of Karl Malone and Jay Leno. To the delight of fans, Hogan shunned his darkside "Hollywood" persona to return to the heroic Hulkster clad in his renown yellow-and-red. One of his most amazing career moments was his astonishing body slam of 7'4", 500 lbs. Andre the Giant before an indoor record crowd of 93,000 at the Pontiac Silverdome. Few entertainers have affected this country's culture like Hogan. His larger than life persona has gone far beyond the squared circle. From adorning the cover of "TV Guide," "Entertainment Weekly" and "Sports Illustrated" to motion pictures and television shows his magnitude of influence marks Hulk Hogan as a genuine American icon. Making his screen debut as Thunderlips in Rocky III, Hogan tossed Sylvester Stallone out of the ring, while tossing himself into many movie roles. His credits include Gremlins II, No Holds Barred, Suburban Commando, Mr. Nanny, Spy Hard, Santa with Muscles, Three Ninja's – Escape from Mega Mountain, McKenzie's Island, Muppets in Space and TNT original movies Assault on Devil's Island and Assault on Death Mountain with Carl Weathers and Shannon Tweed. Hulkster also starred in the action-adventure movie version and syndicated series "Thunder In Paradise." Completing his entertainment ensemble are an animated series Hulk Hogan Rockin' Wrestlin' and a hit record Hulk Hogan and the Wrestling Boot Band, which was top-10 on Billboard's children's chart. Despite his busy schedule, Hulk always finds time to visit with ailing children through the Make-A-Wish and Starlight Foundations as the one of the most requested celebrities. The millenium may have many questions, but one thing is certain – Hulk Hogan's popularity will continue to soar. Taking things to the next level, Jarrett, along with the "Powers That Be," formed a plan that would change the face of WCW once again. In December 1999, the New World Order was reformed, with Jarrett being joined by Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, and Bret Hart. They proclaimed they were taking over the organization, and they meant it. Soon, it was apparent that the egos involved were going to clash more than not, and the newly reformed organization started falling apart at the seams. Nash and Hall left, and Jarrett brought in heavy hitters Scott Steiner and The Harris Brothers. They continue to dominate the WCW scene, running over anyone in their way, as Jarrett sets his sights on the WCW Heavyweight title. The title fits well, but doesn't succeed in explaining all the amazing qualities possessed by this former Cruiserweight Champion. When Juventud first arrived, he found himself within the shadow of Rey Mysterio Jr.. Both men were tremendous athletes, but fans connected better with Rey-Rey for unknown reasons. Juvy was patient, and continued to deliver dozens of flawless and daring performances, despite his lack of notoriety. When Mysterio suffered a knee injury, Juvy was thrust into matches against the promotion's top stars -- only to find himself losing his beloved mask to former Cruiserweight Champion Chris Jericho. The fame, the fan acceptance had happened to fast; he had betrayed the tradition of Luche Libre. Other wrestlers might have went back to Mexico or suffered a considerable losing streak. The Youth Warrior swore he would never surrender again, won the Cruiserweight Title and became an even more daring competitor. Juvy's good looks probably made the transition easier, but it was his heart that drove him to accept his loss and continue fighting. Since then, Juvy has been heavily involved within the Cruiserweight scene, scored an upset victory over the giant Ron Reese, joined and left the short-lived Latino World Order and is working to console longtime friend Psychosis, who lost his mask to Kidman in September of 1999. Whatever the circumstance, Juvy's combination of moves like the Juvy Driver and the 450 Splash make him an unpredictable and formidable adversary. This Youth Warrior's story has barely even started... During his giant career, Nash has been the rebellious "Outsider," instigator of the New World Order and soul of the Wolfpac. Big Sexy's high points include snapping Goldberg's 170-0 unbeaten streak and winning three world heavyweight titles. His power, influence and leadership among WCW ranks is unquestionable. Snatching rebounds for the Volunteers, Nash played roundball at the University of Tennessee helping Big Orange to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament. Taking his game to Germany, he played professionally for four years before a knee injury redirected his career to the squared-circle. Nash, a native of the Motor City, is a sports aficionado, especially when it concerns his beloved Detroit Tigers. Possessed with a witty intellect, Nash's creative barb-filled interviews amuse with acid-like accuracy. From his Phoenix home, he is a connoisseur of entertainment staying ahead of the latest trends. He can deliver more than punches with his smooth delivery and perfect timing, which has been showcased on "Politically Incorrect," "Tonight Show with Jay Leno," "Sabrina: The Teenage Witch" and "The Love Boat." Kevin Nash is currently healing an ankle injury and is the reigning WCW Commissioner. Only time will tell what will happen when Big Sexy steps back into the only place in WCW he knows ... the spotlight. Born in Cuba and raised in Miami, Konnan's fiery background makes him a force to be reckoned with in the ring. Konnan has ascended the ranks of professional wresting by using his tremendous strength to intimidate rivals. His entrance to the wrestling profession stemmed from his first love, boxing. As a member of the U.S. Navy Boxing Team, Konnan used his size and swiftness to make competitors beg for mercy! This combination and a penchant for bodybuilding led him to the ring in Mexico. There he emerged as the No. 1 wrestling star in AAA Lucha Libre. Enter Tony Marinara. Young Marinara was sent to WCW by his father to collect a debt from Disco that he owed to the family. Disco started taking every match he could get to collect the cash. He obviously didn't work fast enough. Enter Big Vito and Johnny the Bull. Vito and Johnny were the muscle Marinara brought in to speed up the collection process. But instead of succumbing to the two bullies, Inferno turned to his archrival Lash Leroux for help in his battle. Lash and Disco foiled the Italians at every turn until, finally, Disco was taken by the bullies to see the big guy ... Mr. Marinara. Inferno was given two choices. Either join the family, or "sleep with the fishes." Inferno hesitantly chose to join the family, but found it hard to get the jobs done in the manner that the rest of the family does. Along the way, Johnny the Bull and Big Vito have not only collected money, but some championship gold as well. In early 2000, they captured the WCW World Tag Team Titles. Expertly trained in nine forms of martial arts, Meng is a master of disaster for anyone that stands in his way. He never loses concentration, whether he is taking on a ring full of men or stopping a wooden chair with his head. Meng's martial arts expertise and serious demeanor prove he is a lethal threat to be dealt with in WCW. When Smiley first started with WCW, he was an internationally renowned grappler heralded for his submission holds and physical conditioning. Imagine the surprise of his colleagues when Smiley also proved to be a dancing fool -- and the toughest man to ever don a football helmet. The extreme combatant has employed everything from football pads to a catcher's mask in order to protect himself from hardcore legends like Brian Knobs, Bam Bam Bigelow and Fit Finlay. The athletic armor has not only amused fans, it has proven to be a completely successful fighting strategy. At WCW Mayhem, Smiley became WCW's first hardcore champion and the most wanted man in professional wrestling. After dropping the hardcore gold, Smiley was treated to a tongue lashing at the hands of Commissioner Nash, who told him to get some courage. If the cowardly lion could do it, why couldn't he? Since, Norman has stood up to many of his opponents, proving to the world that he is, indeed, all man. Most recently, Smiley has stood by the side of the KISS creation, The Demon, at times even donning the makeup to fights battles side by side as the Screamin' Demons. After losing his traditional mask, the young Mysterio grew accustomed to the natural, uncovered look. As a matter of fact, it seemed to give him that extra something he needed to take him to the next step ... an identity. Changing his ring apparel and music, Mysterio took on a new attitude as well. Although Rey is currently on the shelf recouping from a knee injury, he will be back, soaring through the air, remaining one of the young guns to lead WCW into the future. From breath-taking entrances, glittering robes and blond tresses to his feared figure-four leg lock, flying knee drop or cocky ring strut – all are patented Nature Boy. Capturing most every major wrestling title against a who's who of superb champions have earned Flair devoted admiration and begrudging respect by fans and enemies alike. His career is a human highlight reel of living life to the fullest. He has survived a plane crash, served as WCW president, wrestled in Pyongyang, North Korea and flamboyantly led the Four Horsemen to renown ring success amidst limousines and late nights. A native of Minneapolis, Flair was an outstanding prep athlete. He now makes his home in Charlotte, N.C., where he operates a successful chain of Ric Flair's Gold's Gyms. Mirroring his ring instincts with a keen business sense earned him recognition as Gold's Gym "Manager Of The Year." A popular friend to many athletic celebrities, Flair is an enormous sports fan with expert knowledge from hoops to hockey. His sons, David and Reed, have shown talent for dad's business. David has begun his pro wrestling career in WCW, while Reed is a national age group champion. Nature Boy says it best, "To be the man, you have to beat the man. Woooooo!" Piper made his pro wrestling debut at the shockingly young age of 15 in Manitoba, Canada, wearing his trademark kilt and playing the bagpipes. At 19, he captured his first of 21 career titles by becoming world light heavyweight champion at the Olympic Stadium in Los Angeles. As a mainstay of pro wrestling's soaring popularity, Rowdy hosted television's renowned "Piper's Pit," showcasing his reputation as one of the greatest interviews in the business. In one of his most memorable matches, Piper wrestled Hulk Hogan at The War to Settle the Score, which gained the highest rating in MTV history. After being lured out of wrestling retirement by the actions of the nWo, Roddy found himself once again face-to-face with nemesis and nWo ringleader "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan. Numerous films credits are continually being added to Piper's movie resume. He began his big screen projects with Body Slam, followed by Hell Comes To Frogtown, Buy and Sell, Immortal Combat, Back in Action, Tough and Deadly and the John Carpenter sci-fi thriller They Live. More recent Piper flicks include No Contest, Jungleground, Marked Man, Swept Away and Sci-Fighters. Movie success can't keep the proud Scotsman away from the wrestling ring. Here come the bagpipes, the icon, the one-and-only Rowdy Roddy Piper. No doubt the man has stroke. Crowned with dark curls, a five-o'clock shadow, toothpick and dark shades, the look of Scott Hall is menacing, confident and fun. Hall is wrestling's hottest, coolest, baddest, most ruthless bad boy. This NBA-size trendsetter does things his own way because he can and no one can stop him. Regarded by some as a outlaw or a renegade, Hall views himself as the people's choice, doing what other guys would like to do – telling their boss to stick it! Raised in a military family, this tough Army brat spent his high school years in Munich, Germany. This experience was valuable at the start of his pro wrestling career that began internationally in Germany, Japan and Puerto Rico. After mesmerizing the wrestling world with an nWo mentality, it's clear Scott Hall is on top of his career – doing things his way! When Sid re-emerged on the scene in WCW, he didn't care who he had to destroy to get to the top of the mountain. Vicious and Bill Goldberg had epic battles around the country, each man gaining more respect for the other as they continued their war. With the reformation of the nWo, Sid stepped up to the plate and teamed with Goldberg against the rebel group. With the fans undeniably behind him, Vicious focused on one goal - regaining the WCW title. During his tenure in the sport, Vicious has racked up numerous championships along the way, including several world title reigns. In January 2000, Vicious added another to the list when he defeated Big Sexy Kevin Nash for the WCW Heavyweight Championship. |
