10 Worst Wrestling Stables Of The '90s
9. The Disciples Of Apocalypse
So you know that entire spiel I just wrote about why Los Boricuas didn’t work? I’m more-or-less about to say the exact same thing with the DOA. Hey, if WWE were lazy enough to copy/paste with their stables in 1997, that gives me license to be the same 20 years later.
Founded by ex-Nation member Crush (no, I have no idea why a white dude was allowed in the militant black separatist group), the Disciples of Apocalypse were essentially the NOD, except a biker gang. Consisting of Crush, “Skull,” “8-Ball,” and "Chainz", the DOA had no defining characteristics aside from the fact that they came the ring riding motorbikes.
Unlike the Boricuas, however, all four members of the DOA were on WWE television before the stable formed. Crush obviously had maintained a steady presence and was consistently a flop, “Skull and 8-Ball” (AKA Ron and Don Harris) were once the “Blu Brothers” (and they flopped), and “Chainz” was Brian Lee, AKA the Fake Undertaker from 1994. Wanna guess how he did?
However, like the Boricuas, everyone in the DOA was a boring, bad wrestler, and the endless series of tag matches between the two groups from 1997 to 1998 was a key factor in making WWE’s undercard nigh unwatchable.
