Wrapping something in tin foil does not make it futuristic - if it did then the turkey is the most futuristic bird. Someone didn't pass this memo to the WWE, who in the mid-nineties decided to wrap two wrestlers in silver fabric, and advertise them as the future of the company.They were not, because frankly, they were a joke - which is perhaps why they weren't even given surnames. Just the stupid outfits wouldn't be enough to top the list, but thankfully the WWE really worked hard to make this gimmick as silly as possible. They had to decide on a name to make this team seems like a cool, legitimate team, but which was also futuristic, and they decided to settle on The Tekno Team 2000, which is a bafflingly terrible name. Not only do we have the ridiculous spelling of Tekno, but we also have the arbitrary adding of the number 2000, like people in the 1960s did to imply futurism. This gimmick was introduced in 1995, and the year 2000 was merely 5 years away. Surely the WWE didn't believe that within 5 years we'd all be wearing silver outfits, and misspelling the word techno because we were all going to be so progressive futuristic. Sadly for the silver twosome, they were not a success, and despite having two separate runs in the WWE they did not manage to hold any titles. Troy was better known as Erik Watts, the son of controversial booker Cowboy Bill Watts, who went on to have some success in TNA, while Travis has gone onto far better things. He is now known by his real name Chad Fortune, and drives monster trucks, and specifically the Superman Monster Truck, which basically makes him royalty.
