10 WWE Stables You Totally Don't Remember
8. D.O.A
WWE were highly-focused on stable warfare in 1997, and the Disciples of the Apocalypse were thrown together as a redneck biker gang without much on-screen presence. Consisting of Crush, Chainz, and Skull & 8-Ball, they were a hastily-compiled group that engaged in matches with the likes of Los Boricuas and The Nation of Domination, but they were never able to separate themselves from the pack.
The stable came about in June ‘97. Crush had been thrown out of the Nation, and decided, for whatever reason, to put his own set of Hells Angels together. The three-way feud with the Nation and Boricuas was aimed at putting all three factions on the map, but only the Nation maintained any kind of relevancy throughout it, and D.O.A were always seen as the third wheel.
Crush left the company in protest of the Montreal Screwjob in late 1997, and Chainz assumed leadership. D.O.A started teaming with Ahmed Johnson and Ken Shamrock to battle the Nation shortly after, and engaged in a particularly unremarkable feud with another disastrous WWE stable: the Truth Commission.
The stable became a tag team when Chainz left in 1998, and Sull & 8-Ball inherited the D.O.A name as a tag team. A feud with the Legion of Doom followed, but the new D.O.A died out shortly afterwards both both men made the jump to WCW.
