When was this? I thought Sugar Shane was a face.

He was heel at first. (I think) Not sure when he turned or if it was a gradual thing cuz people loved the vertabreaker.

As the resident 3Count mark, allow me to explain:
-3Count debuted as heels, with Evan Karagias being the only one of the three previously in WCW for any length of time. Fans were indifferent to them because of the lame gimmick.
-Tank Abbot became 3Count's abusive manager in an angle that could have worked were it not Tank Abbot and instead somebody with SOME range of acting ability.
-3Count got fed up with Tank, as Tank costed them many matches against their rivals the Jung Dragons (Kaz Hayashi, Jimmy Yang, and Jamie Noble as Jamie-san), and beat him in a 3-on-1 hardcore handicap match...BARELY.
-The feud with the Jung Dragons continued following a short feud with Norman Smiley over the Hardcore title, and dissention within the ranks of both teams began.
-In late 2000, 3Count became, basically, 2Count as Evan Karagias and Shannon Moore kicked Sugah Shane out of the "band" for "getting an ego." Likewise, on the Jung Dragons, Jamie-san was booted out by their manager, Kimona Wanalaya (I forget her name in WCW at this point, but it's the same person) for being the jobber of the group.
-3-WAY WARFARE! Evan/Moore, Hayashi/Yang, and Helms/Noble (who unmasked following his departure) was a common match on Nitro and Thunder.
-Sugah Shane finally got revenge over Evan Karagias on a Nitro before SuperBrawl: Revenge, and revenge over Shannon Moore on a Thunder before WCW Greed.
So yeah. I pretty much just made the whole gimmick seem THAT much better, but, in truth, I was a mark for 3Count, right down to the terrible theme music, awful entrance video, and insynchronized dancing.
WRESTLING NEEDS ANOTHER BOYBAND.

Umm no. Helms stayed with Moore. Karagias went to team with Noble.
