#2 The Natural Born Thrillers

During one of WCW's many, many reboots during its fading years, management decided that they needed to push younger talent.

They put together a stable of seven young men who looked great, and in the case of O'Haire and Palumbo, could really go in the ring. Above Average Mike Sanders possessed fantastic promo abilities and came across as really natural on the mike.

Fast forward to today, however, and almost none of them are involved in the wrestling business, and those that are have failed to make any lasting impact.

What Held them back: It was a case of too much, too soon. In spite of being trained by Paul Orndorff and being quite athletic, the Thrillers were terribly green, and it showed in the ring.

Even after members like Chuck Palumbo gained more experience, they never seemed to click with the audience. Spending more time in the indies honing their craft may have saved the Thrillers from the taste of failure later in their careers.
