When talking about stables, factions, or whatever you want to call them, it's easy to recognize certain wrestlers and associate them with a certain group. You can immediately recognize Kevin Nash and Scott Hall as The Outsiders, who helped found the New World Order with Hulk Hogan. Shawn Michaels and Triple H are the heart and soul of DX, and Triple H himself can automatically be linked to a couple other stables – Evolution and The Authority. Over in WCW, Ric Flair and Arn Anderson are the two true mainstays of The Four Horsemen. And even if they're currently floundering in WWE, Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows are beloved and recognized by New Japan fans as two of the earliest members of the Bullet Club.
Many stables, however, also have a member or two (or in the nWo's case, dozens) who spent some time with the group, but didn't do anything noteworthy to be remembered years down the line. There are also some wrestlers who may be fairly well-known, even to casuals, but may have been, by default, their respective faction's Mr. or Ms. Irrelevant. So with that having been said, let's brush up on our WWE and WCW history, and look at 10 "forgotten" members from each company's stables, and check on what they're up to now, or have been doing in recent years.
20 WWE: Joey Mercury (MNM/Straight Edge Society/The Authority)
It's hard to call Joey Mercury a forgotten wrestler per se. That broken nose he suffered at Armageddon 2006, after all, is still hard to unsee after all these years. But he is, by default, the least memorable member in multiple WWE stables. In MNM, he was the third wheel alongside the then-real life couple of Johnny Nitro and Melina. After a brief retirement in 2009, he resurfaced a year later with a shaved head and the more formal-sounding ring name Joseph Mercury as the last man to join CM Punk's Straight Edge Society – again, an afterthought compared to the stable leader, Luke Gallows (who's since returned to the WWE), and Serena (fired for breaking character and getting spotted drinking at a bar).
By 2014, Mercury was working as a producer in the WWE, but he would, yet again, become a stable's forgotten member, as he and fellow road agent Jamie Noble joined forces with The Authority and became J&J Security, who were, like Vince McMahon's Stooges (Gerald Brisco and Pat Patterson) before him, bumbling fools who acted as bodyguards for Seth Rollins, before "J&J Security" were taken off camera and back to their usual roles.
Mercury was released from WWE in January 2017, and is back as a full-time wrestler, having competed twice this year in Tommy Dreamer's House of Hardcore promotion. He's also celebrating over a decade of sobriety after battling drug and alcohol problems from his teens to his mid-20s.
19 WCW: Scott Norton (nWo)
Oh, if only the New World Order had stuck to having 10 members or less. (Which is already a lot by stable standards.) Due to Eric Bischoff's ultimatum that the wrestlers of WCW had 30 days to join the nWo or face the consequences, the stable's ranks ballooned significantly, and Scott Norton was one of the many new recruits who joined the villainous group from late 1996 onward.
Upon joining the nWo, Norton formed Vicious and Delicious with Buff Bagwell, with the 360-pound Norton obviously playing the "Vicious" role alongside his notoriously hard to work with teammate. Interestingly, WCW's deal with NJPW allowed Norton to go back and forth between both companies, as he flew the nWo banner while working for New Japan, making him the only notable American to pull double duty for both nWo's. Yet he was still, for all intents and purposes, part of the stable's "B-team," which is why he doesn't get much name recall from today's fans.
Even at the age of 56, Norton still wrestles the occasional match, and was part of the New Japan Rumble at last year's Wrestle Kingdom. (You know, the one with the six-star Okada vs. Omega match.) A few months later, he appeared at a New York Wrestling Connection show, doing the job to former NXT wrestler Bull Dempsey in a championship match.
18 WWE: Michael Tarver (The Nexus)
The Nexus represents one of the biggest missed opportunities in WWE history. After all the silly challenges they took part in during the first season of NXT, the eight rookies went rogue on an episode of Monday Night Raw in 2010, beating down anyone who stood in their path, may it be a franchise player like John Cena or a "lowly" timekeeper like Mark Yeaton. It was one of the most impactful debut segments the WWE Universe had seen thus far, but they were soon turned into toast when Big Match John summoned his Super Cena powers and led Team WWE to an unlikely victory against The Nexus at SummerSlam 2010.
Even with The Nexus failing to sustain their momentum, it's hard to forget most of the stable's members. Then you've got Michael Tarver, who was the second Nexus member to leave the group, after Daniel Bryan. He was a natural heel with decent mic skills, but since he wasn't much of a worker, he was written off toward the end of 2010, then released by WWE in June of 2011 after a spell at FCW.
Now 41, Tarver has been working the indie circuit since his WWE release, and had most recently competed in 2016 for Full Impact Pro, wrestling under the name Monster Tarver. Wonder if he can still knock anybody out in 1.9 seconds...
17 WCW: Reno (Natural Born Thrillers)
The Natural Born Thrillers were a case of "too little, too late" in the dying WCW. Due to its insistence on focusing on the nWo way past its expiration date, and its continued reliance on established, yet aging performers, WCW wasn't able to create too many young stars of its own. But the company, for what it's worth, had the Power Plant as a training ground for up-and-coming talent, and that's where the Natural Born Thrillers came from.
A fairly large stable, the Thrillers included Chuck Palumbo, Mark Jindrak, Shawn Stasiak, Johnny The Bull, and Sean O'Haire, all of whom had stints as WWE mid-carders after the death of WCW. Mike Sanders never wrestled on WWE television, but he was still one of WCW's more promising youngsters in its final year or so. Likewise, Reno was briefly part of The Alliance, before WWE sent him to developmental for more seasoning and ultimately cut him loose. Unfortunately, he wasn't even "Above Average" like Sanders was.
Reno continued wrestling until 2003, but his post-wrestling life is a mystery. We do know that he lives in Nevada (hence his ring name) with his wife and children, but apart from that, we wish we knew what this onetime WCW Hardcore Champion is currently up to.
16 WWE: Johnny "The Bull" Stamboli (Full Blooded Italians)
A forgotten man from a forgotten stable. That's the best way to refer to Johnny "The Bull" Stamboli, whom we briefly mentioned in the Reno/Natural Born Thrillers entry. Of course, ECW fans probably remember this faction, back when it was a comedy act featuring Southerners Tracy Smothers and Tommy Rich and the African-American J.T. Smith – nope, nothing Italian about those guys. But as far as the WWE is concerned, the F.B.I. included legitimate Italian-Americans in Nunzio, Big Vito (of dress-wearing infamy), and Chuck Palumbo.
...then you have Stamboli, who would have fit in well with Smothers and Rich, as he's an Atlanta native whose real name is Jonathan Hugger. (And isn't Bayley's older brother – sorry, we couldn't help it.) During his WWE run, he was mostly used on the company's C-show, Sunday Night Heat, and was one of the zillions of people who held the Hardcore Championship during those chaotic "24/7 rule" days. That said, most fans would still think of stable leader Nunzio, Vito, or Palumbo when recalling the F.B.I.'s exploits in the WWE.
It would seem that Stamboli hasn't done much in the indie scene this decade, though he remains active, usually billed as dark characters Rellik (which he also used on TNA) and Redrum. He was also among the many wrestlers involved in the concussion lawsuit of 2016, where WWE was accused of withholding the risks of traumatic brain injuries to its talents.
15 WCW: Kendall Windham (West Texas Rednecks)
With rapper Master P wanting to get into the pro wrestling game, he debuted a faction called the No Limit Soldiers, and they were best known for their feud against the West Texas Rednecks, a wrestling country band. Ironically, this group was led by Minnesota native Curt Hennig, but the rest of the stable was made up of legitimate Texans in Barry and Kendall Windham, and Bobby Duncum Jr.
We would have named Duncum the most forgotten member of this stable, but like Hennig, he is no longer with us. That leaves the Windham brothers, and while Barry had a fairly memorable wrestling career, and even made the WWE Hall of Fame as part of the Four Horsemen (and definitely not for his multiple subpar runs with the company), Kendall's contributions to the business aren't quite as memorable. Perhaps the fact that he played bass for the West Texas Rednecks says it all – unless you're Paul McCartney or Flea (among others), nobody pays much attention to the bassist.
Kendall was only 32 when he wrestled his last match in 2000, one year after he was released by WCW. These days, he lives quietly in Florida, where he is president of the Windham Security Alliance.
14 WWE: Justin Gabriel (The Corre)
The Corre was an offshoot of the original Nexus, but still of the heelish variety, with Wade Barrett serving as the leader, Ezekiel Jackson recruited as the group's muscle, and Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel as the de facto tag team representatives. Barrett is more than fairly memorable, mainly because he represented a blown opportunity for WWE to crown its first British world champion. Jackson mostly stood out for the wrong reasons, being a big, sweaty guy whom WWE gave up due to his clunky in-ring work and other deficiencies. Slater, of course, is the only remaining Corre member still in the WWE. (But for how much longer?)
Compared to his stablemates, Gabriel is arguably the least memorable – a skilled high-flyer with abysmal mic skills. After The Corre disbanded, he was quickly shuttled down to the lower-card, and was barely on TV when he joined Adam Rose's Rosebuds, albeit in disguise as The Bunny.
In between Lucha Underground seasons as PJ Black, Gabriel suffered a rather severe injury outside the ring in 2017, as he reportedly lost a finger in a BASE jumping accident. He's still wrestling, though, as he competed last November in a six-man indie tag match, where his team lost to a trio featuring Impact Wrestling's Caleb Konley, and ex-Mexicools Juventud Guerrera and Super Crazy.
13 WCW: nWo Sting (nWo)
Yes, we've got two New World Order entries here. With a stable as large as they were, how could there not be more than one entry?
Everybody who watched WCW in the mid-late '90s knows that there was a fake Sting who was among the nWo's earliest members. For a while, he had pulled the wool over everyone's eyes, tricking even Sting's good buddy Lex Luger, and getting the real Sting so worked up that he unleashed a darker, more brooding character inspired by The Crow, and began stalking Hollywood Hogan for a good whole year. But before we digress too far and talk about the fast count that wasn't, let's explain why we're including someone as familiar as "nWo Sting" or "Fake Sting" in this list.
The reason, in case you haven't guessed, is the obscurity of the wrestler who played him. Jeff Farmer was pretty much a journeyman wrestler when WCW asked him to play his career-defining role, and surprisingly, he kept playing it in both WCW and New Japan, even when the jig was obviously up. Farmer mostly wrestled in New Japan from 1999 to 2002, and spent a few more years in the indies before retiring. These days, he is, believe it or not, working as a scientist, and was, as of late 2010, affiliated with the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.
12 WWE: Tank (The Truth Commission)
Here's a fun fact – only one member of The Truth Commission was South African in real life, and that was The Commandant, who was actually an actor named Robin B. Smith. He was quickly replaced by the Canadian Don Callis (later Cyrus in ECW), who assumed the role of The Jackal, with the wrestling members of the stable being French-Canadians Luc Poirier (Sniper, whom we'd have included, had we been able to find recent photos) and Robert Maillet (Kurrgan/The Interrogator), and Americans Barry Buchanan (Recon) and Mike Halac (Tank). Wait a minute...Mike Halac?
If that name rings a bell, that's because he's also the man who infamously played Mantaur, that mooing, goring, in-ring-sucking half-man, half-bull hybrid who routinely ranks among WWE's worst gimmicks. After Mantaur flopped, Halac made a brief return in 1996 as Goldust's bodyguard, then once again in 1997 as Tank, the masked muscle of The Truth Commission who accompanied the faction to the ring, and wrestled twice on Shotgun Saturday before getting released. Again.
Recent years have seen Halac work on some independent productions as an actor, and if you check his IMDB page, you'll see he's due to appear on a film called Family Property 2: More Blood. He seems to have lost some weight from his Mantaur/Tank days, but he was, like a few others in this list, among those who sued WWE in the concussion lawsuit of 2016.
11 WCW: Evan Karagias (3 Count)
Who wants to walk, er...sing along with 3 Count? Yes, I would definitely pay to watch a 3 Count/Elias jam session. And for the benefit of those who no longer remember this WCW faction, 3 Count was the company's answer to the boyband craze that was sweeping the world in the late '90s. Interestingly, North Carolina buddies Shane Helms, Shannon Moore, and Evan Karagias did their own singing, and it goes without saying that these three young men shouldn't have quit their day jobs. But the group was entertaining for what it was – a villainous boyband parody that even had their own all-around groupie/enforcer/backup singer and dancer in UFC tough guy Tank Abbott.
In later years, both Helms and Moore went on to star in WWE's mid-card, with the former having the most success as The Hurricane. Moore obviously wasn't made for bubblegum pop, but he did get some mileage with his close-to-real-life punk rocker gimmick in WWE and TNA alike, while also writing his own entrance theme and playing in Jeff Hardy's band, Peroxwhy?gen.
That leaves Karagias, who comparatively fell off the wrestling map after briefly appearing in the WWE's Invasion storyline, as he simultaneously competed in smaller independents and appeared in a few films. He's currently based in his hometown of Gastonia, North Carolina, occasionally attending wrestling conventions and retweeting posts from his old "bandmates" and The Hardy Boyz, but mostly keeping a low profile.
10 WWE: Manu (The Legacy)
Being an Anoa'i does not guarantee one of immediate success in the WWE. Afa Anoa'i Jr. learned this the hard way in the late 2000s, as he and Sim Snuka (Superfly's son/Tamina's brother) tried out for The Legacy, a stable that featured Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, and Ted DiBiase Jr. As it's those three whom most people remember when talking about The Legacy, it should go without saying that the tryouts didn't go so well for Snuka and Anoa'i, who was given the ring name Manu in WWE. But that's not the end of the story for the guy who briefly shared a name with the San Antonio Spurs' superstar shooting guard.
As Manu was out of the WWE soon after he flopped as a Legacy member, Orton was later quoted as saying that Manu "didn't feel like he had to pay his dues" and had a crummy attitude backstage. That's not a good look at all for someone from one of wrestling's most famous families.
After leaving the WWE, Manu returned to using his real name as Afa Jr., and has spent the last nine years wrestling in the independent circuit. He's actually the youngest wrestler in this list at only 33-years-old, so who knows – it's a long shot, but maybe his cousin Roman Reigns could pull some strings with the boss and help give him a second chance at WWE success?
9 WCW: The Barbarian (Dungeon Of Doom)
While some fans may remember them as the Alliance to End Hulkamania, they're much better known as the Dungeon of Doom, a heel stable led by King Curtis Iaukea (as The Master) and Kevin Sullivan (as The Taskmaster), and, behind the scenes, then-WCW booker Sullivan's way of getting fans to start cheering Hulk Hogan again. That faction was best known for boasting of a motley crew of monster heels and bizarre characters, including, but not limited to: Kamala, The Shark (aka Earthquake in WWE), Z-Gangsta (aka Zeus, aka character actor Tiny Lister), The Zodiac (one of Ed Leslie's gazillion gimmicks), and THE YET-TAY! (Fine. The Yeti.)
Those names we mentioned are just a few of the many who passed through the Dungeon's ranks, but you might not be aware that The Barbarian was once part of it. WWE fans may remember him as one-half of The Powers of Pain, or as Sione, the future Rikishi's teammate in The New Headshrinkers. And while he arguably had more success for the competition, his tenure in the Dungeon of Doom is forgettable by comparison, even if he was teamed up with legendary real-life tough guy Meng in the Faces of Fear, a tag team better known for their standalone success outside of the stable.
Even at the age of 59, The Barbarian remains semi-active in wrestling, though he also focuses now on his construction business in North Carolina. He's also notable as the uncle of former TNA Knockout Lei'D Tapa, whom he helped train.
8 WWE: Amy Weber (JBL's Cabinet)
On a standalone basis, the Diva Search produced so many now-forgotten models-turned-wrestlers who were hired by WWE, but released soon after they proved to be impossible to mold into competent grapplers, or even speakers. Since we're talking forgotten stable members here, we shall be focusing on Amy Weber, an actress and model who was a finalist in the 2004 edition of the Diva Search. In her brief tenure in the WWE, she worked as the "Image Consultant" of JBL's Cabinet, and she's certainly hard to remember, as compared to fellow Cabinet members like Orlando Jordan, Jillian Hall, or even the Bashams.
Weber wasn't long for the Cabinet, and wasn't long either for the WWE, as she left the company in February 2005, citing poor pay and a "frat house-like" environment as her reasons for leaving. Somehow, she's got the very rare distinction of retiring from wrestling undefeated, without wrestling an actual match – she defeated Joy Giovanni by forfeit just one month before leaving the company.
Based on her Instagram profile, it appears that Weber is now working in the real estate business, having also recorded an album and done some more acting after leaving the WWE. Sources are conflicted when it comes to her age/date of birth, but in any case, good on her, as she looks unusually young for a woman in her 40s.
7 WCW: Disqo (Filthy Animals)
So one day in the summer of 1999, Billy Kidman told Mean Gene Okerlund that he was running with a new crowd, a "bunch of filthy animals." Sounds familiar? Just like Brad Armstrong impersonating his younger brother Road Dogg and becoming Buzzkill, the Filthy Animals were meant to be WCW's answer to D-Generation X. Other members included Rey Mysterio, Konnan, Eddie Guerrero, and Torrie Wilson, but when this tweener stable began leaning toward the heelish side of things, there were a couple changes made to the faction's lineup.
The change most WCW fans might have forgotten is the introduction of Disqo, aka the former Disco Inferno fashioning his villainous ring name after Mr. "Thong Song" himself, Sisqo. In classic latter-day WCW fashion, this heel turn was short-lived, as Disqo turned on Konnan, then spent the remaining months of WCW teaming up with Alex Wright (who himself was fresh off a misguided heel turn as Berlyn) as The Boogie Knights.
After WCW, Disco spent most of the next 15 years or so working for TNA and serving in various capacities, but mainly helping out old friend Vince Russo on the creative side of things. Indeed, he's one of the few people who openly view Vinny Ru in a positive light, and believe it or not, he's still wrestling occasionally, having teamed with Eli Drake in a losing effort against Raven and Tommy Dreamer a couple months ago, at Future Stars of Wrestling.
6 WWE: Bull Buchanan (Right To Censor)
Since his old teammate, the former Mantaur, is already The Truth Commission's most forgotten member, we're going to have to fast forward a few years to the time when the former Recon had become a moral guardian in Right to Censor. So who were these people? For starters, Val Venis and The Godfather, er, Goodfather renounced their sinful ways and teamed up with the shorter-haired, more formally-named, but still over-the-top Steven Richards. You then had the stable's female member, Ivory, who started wearing buttoned-up white shirts and long black skirts (later pants) instead of the usual women's ring gear.
Then there was Bull Buchanan, whose past in The Truth Commission was duly ignored. He served as the faction's generic muscle, and when they folded, he was sent down to OVW for more training. Buchanan then became a rapping bodyguard alongside "Doctor of Thuganomics" John Cena, using the names B-Squared or "Bling Bling Buchanan." This turned out to be his last WWE gimmick, as he was released from the company in January 2003.
After his WWE run, Buchanan spent the next decade-plus in the indies (save for a 2011 cameo in Cena's "This Is Your Life" segment), and retired from pro wrestling at 2014, aged 46. He now works as a sheriff's deputy in Carroll County, Georgia.
5 WCW: Lash LeRoux (Misfits In Action)
Supposedly, the Misfits in Action did not take any sides during the whole Millionaire's Club vs. New Blood debacle in WCW. Instead, they banded together as a military-themed faction where everyone had Vince Russo-approved, often naughty/ethnic-themed puns as ring names. Booker T became G.I. Bro, Hugh Morrus became General Hugh G. Rection (try living that one down, Bill DeMott), nWo Girl Tylene became Major Gunns, Van Hammer became Private (later promoted to Major) Stash, Chavo Guerrero became Lt. Loco, and kayfabe New Orleans native Lash LeRoux became Cpl. Cajun.
Together with the rest of M.I.A., LeRoux took part in some confusing, typical-late-period WCW storylines, and once the stable quietly folded, he was back to where he started, in the company's Cruiserweight Division. But for what it's worth, he and Lt. Loco did hold the WCW Tag Team Championships, only to lose them back minutes later to Natural Born Thrillers representatives Mark Jindrak and Sean O'Haire, in an instant rematch ordered by WCW Commissioner and Thrillers/New Blood member Mike Sanders. (Yes, that seriously happened.)
Today, LeRoux makes his living as a cartoonist and illustrator, and also spreads his Christian faith as a youth minister in his real-life home state of Alabama.
4 WWE: Ryan Shamrock (Pretty Mean Sisters)
Some may have wondered why Alicia Webb, aka Ryan Shamrock, was given a guy's name when she made her WWE debut in 1999 at the tender age of 19. Yet it was still justified, somehow, as it was an excuse for WWE to portray her as then-boyfriend Ken Shamrock's kayfabe sister, and for Val Venis to riff on Tom Hanks' then-recent blockbuster and announce a new film called "Shaving Ryan's Privates."
Later on, Shamrock became one-third of the vengeful, man-hating female stable called Pretty Mean Sisters, alongside Terri Runnels and Jacqueline. Obviously, their faction had a meaningful acronym, and their shtick was to make men pay for how they mistreated them. You also shouldn't forget their "love slave," Meat (Shawn Stasiak), whose frequent losses were explained by that very designation of his within the group. Truly a vintage Vince Russo idea, through and through.
Webb left the WWE later in 1999, and briefly appeared in WCW as undercard talent The Maestro's valet, Symphony. She also had a cup of coffee in TNA in 2002, and worked as a valet in various indie promotions in the years that followed. We're not so sure of what she's up to now, except that she has a teenage son from a previous marriage, and has a young daughter with her fiancee, former UFC fighter Ian McCall, who happens to have one of the most wrestling-ready nicknames in all of MMA – "Uncle Creepy."
3 WCW: Steve McMichael (Four Horsemen)
Ric Flair. Arn Anderson. Ole Anderson. Tully Blanchard. Truly, these are historic names that once made up the Four Horsemen in their most iconic incarnation, though there are others who passed through the stable's ranks and made an impact – Curt Hennig, Barry Windham, Lex Luger, and whether we want to recognize it or not, Chris Benoit. But there are also those whose membership in the Horsemen isn't as fondly looked back on. Guys like Paul Roma, whose lack of star power and inability to get along with his colleagues marred his time with the faction. Guys like Steve "Mongo" McMichael.
Unlike your average pro football player-turned wrestler, McMichael wasn't your usual training camp washout. He was a former Super Bowl champion with the Chicago Bears, played in two Pro Bowls, and was a bona fide star defensive tackle. A year later, he was hired by WCW as a commentator, earning notoriety for his perceived ineptitude at the job (not to mention his pet chihuahua), but that paled in comparison to the subpar matches he began wrestling a year later as the newest member of the Four Horsemen.
All in all, McMichael spent just a year as a Horseman, and is probably better remembered as Debra Marshall's first husband. He hasn't been doing much in the worlds of football and wrestling for most of the current decade, though in 2012, he unsuccessfully ran for mayor of Romeoville, Illinois, where he also owns and operates the sports bar Mongo McMichael's.
2 WWE: Savio Vega (Nation Of Domination)
Arguably, the classic incarnation of the Nation of Domination was the one still led by Faarooq, with The Rock soon to usurp his leadership, and D-Lo Brown, The Godfather, and Mark Henry all members of the "bigger, badder, and blacker" Nation, as Faarooq had once called them. Ahmed Johnson was part of the Faarooq-led version for a bit, and who could forget those subtitle-worthy promos of his? But before that, Faarooq's fellow faction members included a Caucasian (Crush) and a Puerto Rican (Savio Vega), and it's easy to forget the Nation's humble beginnings when you consider its later membership.
Prior to joining the Nation, Vega re-debuted as Razor Ramon's kayfabe childhood friend, which was not believable for smart fans, but definitely a step up from his masked beginnings as the green mist-spitting ninja called Kwang. As Vega, he is probably best known for being "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's first major rival. Then came the Nation, and the "Gang Warz" that followed, where Savio led the all-Puerto Rican stable, Los Boricuas.
With Los Boricuas growing in irrelevance, Vega was released by WWE toward the end of 1999, and he's mostly competed in his home country since then. Even at 53, he's still lacing up the boots in Puerto Rico, and not looking too different at all from his WWE days.
1 WCW: Bryan Clark (Millionaire's Club)
In April of 2000, WCW had the ultimate plan to get back into the thick of the Monday Night Wars, and regain the stranglehold they once had over WWE. That plan was to have the architect of the nWo (Eric Bischoff) and the (self-proclaimed) architect of the Attitude Era (Vince Russo) team up behind the scenes in creative, and act as onscreen authority figures and leaders of the New Blood faction. The idea here was for this stable of up-and-comers to feud against the old farts of the Millionaire's Club who kept holding the young kids down. Of course, the Bischoff-Russo team-up did nothing to save WCW's behind.
The Millionaire's Club was led by Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair, and also featuring Kevin Nash, Lex Luger, Sid Vicious, Diamond Dallas Page, Sting, and...KroniK. In classic Russo-style booking, Brian Adams and Bryan Clark (who weren't young kids to begin with) started as members of the New Blood, only for them to switch sides, then play a proto-APA-esque role for the Millionaire's Club, albeit without the charisma Bradshaw and Faarooq possessed.
This entry is not centered on Adams, who passed away in 2007, but rather on Clark, who retired from wrestling in 2003. We're not sure what he's been up to in retirement, save for his involvement in the 2016 concussion lawsuit against WWE, and a couple of shoot interviews where he threw shade at both Vince McMahon and the Kliq, whom he has no love lost for, even decades after they allegedly gave him a hard time during his first WWE run as Adam Bomb.
