Guest Report post Posted May 30, 2002 OK, I think I have the basis of the 1997 'atrocity': Faarooq's original NOD was him, Crush, and Savio (and some other guys?). Crush and Savio somehow break away and form their own 'gangs': Crush and his DOA and Savio and Los Boricuas. Questions: Why did Crush & Savio leave? Who was in the DOA and Boricuas? How did this thrilling chapter in WWF history end? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Tod deKindes Report post Posted May 30, 2002 It all kinda just drifted away. The Boricuas were slowly phased out, Savio went out with injury. Crush left the WWF after a Kane attack, Chainz was also phased out. Skull and 8-Ball remained as a tag team before eventually leaving for WCW. The Truth Commission kinda just fizzled away. Recon and Sniper went into a failed solo tag team schtick, Tank went on to become Golga, Jackyl and Kurrgan went their own way. The Nation is the longest surviving faction of the bunch, getting through Gang Warz and ending up in a feud with DX. With Kama's transformation into the Godfather, Rocky's rise to fame and Owen Hart's "retirment", D-Lo Brown and Mark Henry were the last two remaining members.

Guest AlwaysPissedOff Report post Posted May 30, 2002 Questions: Why did Crush & Savio leave? I'm guessing that you mean why they left the NOD. Faarooq fired them on RAW and introduced D'Lo and Kama as the only ones to stick around. Later on in 97, Ahmed Johnson turned on Undertaker on RAW to join them and then Rock got on-board later on. How did this thrilling chapter in WWF history end? DOA got into the DX/LOD feud and subsquently disappeared after starting a feud with the LOD in 98. The Boriquas jumped Steve Austin a few times on RAW and at the Rumble when they were hired by DX(?) and after Savio's injury, they just disappeared. The Nation lasted until Breakdown 98 when Godfather separated himself from the group and Henry/D'Lo were the last members. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest papacita Report post Posted May 30, 2002 I'm guessing that you mean why they left the NOD. Faarooq fired them on RAW and introduced D'Lo and Kama as the only ones to stick around. Later on in 97, Ahmed Johnson turned on Undertaker on RAW to join them and then Rock got on-board later on. Pretty much all right, except that Kama wasn't asked the stick around. When he fired Crush and Savio, he promised that the next week he was gonna introduce a bigger, badder and blacker Nation, and that Ahmed and Taker were gonna be the 1st ones to feel its wrath. So they had a tag match, Faarooq introduced Kama as his Tag Partner, Undertaker got his ass kicked and pretty much jobbed cleanly (surprisingly), and after the match Ahmed ran in, gave him the Pearl River Plunge and joined the Nation. He was kicked out after his injury, and the Rock joined soon after... As for the Boricuas, they worked as DX's hired henchmen against Owen Hart and some other guys (which explains why Savio was the alternate at No Way Out when HBK got injured). I also remember the group splitting just before Wrestlemania XIV when Savio and someone (Miguel Perez, I think) teamed up to enter the tag team battle royal and the other two did the same. Most of this stuff happened on Shotgun and stuff like that and never really got played out as a major angle. The group just dropped shortly after that when Savio and one of the other Boricuas got injured. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because I laughed my ass off when it happened...I'm sorry but that looked so damn funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Tod deKindes Report post Posted June 1, 2002 No, Golga was John Tenta, aka Earthquake/Shark Um, yeah, so? Doesn't change the fact that John Tenta was in the first incarnation of the Truth Commission as the fat guy with the mask. He did one or two appearances and then went on to become Golga...whom was yet another fat guy in a mask. Just by the way he moves, it was easy to tell it was him.

Guest AlwaysPissedOff Report post Posted June 9, 2002 Was that a legit injury? Because I laughed my ass off when it happened...I'm sorry but that looked so damn funny. Yeah, Edge fucked Miguel up pretty badly. So much in fact, I don't even remember Perez ever having another match after that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
