Like his namesake, Tank Abbott is a destructive force who can bury and destroy an enemy in the blink of an eye. The former UFC (United Fighting Championship) bad boy wasted no time establishing himself as one of WCW's most feared men. Tank's right hand is more than a weapon -- it's a game over, lights out, "don't let the door hit you on the way out" finisher. WCW is on warning, get out of his way or be rolled over by Tank.
