Up the list, we mentioned that former Nation of Domination member Crush formed his own faction upon being ejected from the group in 1997. Before The Undertaker became "The American Badass," the group known as "The Disciples of Apocalypse" were a group of four with the same basic gimmick of being bikers who rode their prized machines down to ringside. Amusingly, it stands to reason that the future incarnation of The Undertaker would have fit right in, as it was DOA member Chainz who had previously played the part of Ted DiBiase's fake Undertaker only a few years prior. In addition to Crush and Chainz, the duo were joined by the Harris Brothers, Skull and 8-Ball. The group didn't last long, however; Crush left the company for WCW after The Montreal Screwjob later that year, leaving Chainz in charge before the Harris Brothers began focusing on tag team division goals. Chainz would operate solo before leaving the company in 1998, with Skull and 8-Ball taking up the DOA name for themselves for a time. Aside from a few arguably noteworthy alliances, their greatest accolade came from the aforementioned Wrestling Observer Newsletter awards for "Worst Feud of the Year" in 1997, a dubious honor they shared with our next faction...
