Hahaha...I was totally thinking about Mike Enos yesterday...I even briefly considered forming a poll regarding people's favorite incarnation of Mike Enos. My vote would've been as one half of the Beverly Brothers.

Poor Enos and Bloom. In 1989 they were AWA World champs, and seemed to be headed for big things in the business.
A year later, and they're a jobber-to-the-stars team in WCW: The Minnesota Wrecking Crew II.
A year after that, and they're a JTTS team in the WWF: The Beverly Brothers.
By the late nineties, they're back in WCW as a full-blown jobber team, who couldn't even get a win over life-long jobbers like High Voltage.

High Voltage should have been the next Steiner Brothers.
Whats humorous to notice, the crowd was more into 4 jobbers then anyone not named Cena, Lashley, Batista in current WWE.

I just wanna say that Mike Enos is one of the most underrated wrestlers of the past 20 years or so. The dude was great, but Wayne Bloom and a collective lack of charisma held him back.

This is one of the reason why I love WCW. Random matches like this was fun. Everybody got a chance to perform in front of a HUGE audience on tv.

A year later, and they're a jobber-to-the-stars team in WCW: The Minnesota Wrecking Crew II. The Wrecking Crew/WCW run actually happened during their AWA Tag Title reign. AWA loaned them to WCW for TV squashes, then to job to the Steiners, during the Steiners mega-push in 1990 where they beat a different tag team on every PPV and Clash. I think the reason they wore masks is because they were AWA world champs and jobbing to holders of WCW's lesser tag belts (U.S. Tag Champions = Steiners). Probably Verne Gagne's idea of a compromise for doing the favor to WCW. It was kind of pointless at first, because when they came in, they were wearing Destruction Crew ring gear but with Doom masks. They later got outfits and masks with U. of Minn colors. Maybe that's how TNA and ROH can re-open their working relationship: masks. |

Wasn't Mike Enos's career defining moment being in the match where Scott Hall debuted in WCW during the middle of a match?

I liked High Voltage when I was younger, but I kinda forgot about them after the NWO debuted. I think The Outsiders squashed them and they were never seen outside of Worldwide or Saturday Night again.

Kenny Kaos was actually Rick Steiner's original choice to be tag team champ after Halloween Havok 98 |
