WWE Raw Debut Wrestlers: Where Are They Now?

1. Crush

Debuting in 1990 as the third member of Demolition, Crush was deemed more of a nuisance by fans than a cool new addition. People didn't enjoy the Crush and Smash team as much as the one featuring Bill 'Ax' Eadie. When the WWF made the decision to halt Demolition, Crush left the company. He returned in 1992, under the new guise of 'Cona' Crush, a babyface from Hawaii. Despite his size and receiving a sizeable push from the promotion, Crush again failed to connect with fans. His 1993 rivalry against Doink The Clown didn't quite cut it, and he was turned heel by the end of the year. Crush would work again for the WWF in 1996, following a brief stay in jail for purchasing steroids and illegal handgun possession. After being released in 1997, he joined WCW. There, he joined the nWo and later formed KroniK alongside Bryan Clark. When WCW was purchased by the WWF, he worked for the company again, but was released in late-2001. After attempting to launch a boxing career, he suffered a spine injury during a match in Japan in 2003. That signalled the end of his pro wrestling career. The man behind the Crush character, Brian Adams, sadly passed away in 2007. Drugs were blamed as the cause of his death. What were your favourite moments from the first ever Monday Night Raw?
