Count me in as another Filthy Animals fan. Early teens me thought they looked so cool.

The Revolution post-Benoit, when Russo decided to turn them into an anti-American militia group intent on overthrowing democracy. Which was a weird, weird turn for Dean Malenko and Perry Saturn to take, but it was sort of refreshing to have the usual tropes of the anti-American heel that avoided the typical xenophobic attitudes that WCW and (especially) the WWF loved to indulge in. But honestly, the only things I really remember from it were Malenko parodying Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima by putting the U.S. flag in Jim Duggan's ass and Saturn capturing a Clinton impersonator under a butterfly net on the streets of Washington D.C.
It was terrible but in that very distinct Russo-era WCW way.

This was legitimately my favorite thing going in WCW for a time.

The Jung Dragons were extremely fun as well before Noble split

The Flock always irritated me. There's a man that's van and hammer at once, yet a bird was their leader. Why does Ron, the largest of the flock, not simply eat the other ones? Crowbar really should have made it somewhere. He had more going for him than his gimmick let him show. Also, if this is the thread we're doing - I also am a fan of the Filthy Animals, even with that eight-year-old boy with the horns they brought round with them. And I hate to say it, but I kinda loved the Natural Born Thrillers. If they weren't heels it'd be different, but they were just a bunch of jock pricks, I hated them at the time. They were my garbage. I will fight you all about how much I love Three Count. What perfect heel heat for the time, a boyband gimmick. And then Tank Abbott being their superfan, with the f***ing square on the ground? This was absolute genius. I am ride or die for Three Count.

Why does Ron, the largest of the flock, not simply eat the other ones? "What about me? What about the YETAY?" You remember when Big Ron tried to eat Goldberg upside down? The latter barely could fight off that monster by slamming him to the canvas.

For some reason, I liked that low card group that Teddy Long was managing in the late '90s. Ice Train, Joey Maggs and Jim Powers were involved, IIRC, mostly on the weekend shows. We often credit Russo for that "everyone on the card has something going on" mentality (which of course went all sorts of places, not all good), but WCW was doing it before he arrived in even little ways like this. Yes! Kidman (pre flock) was as well and maybe Joe Gomez? The In Crowd I believe they were called. I loved Pro and Main Event for this kind of stuff, I was younger so thought all the guys (Rick Fuller) that I saw on these shows were big stars!

Dangerous Alliance Varsity Club Definitely couldn't consider the Dangerous Alliance a "lesser" faction. It was the main heel stable during its period and is remembered fondly. The same could sorta be said about the Dungeon of Doom. At least the part about it being a main heel stable. Not sure whether the majority of fans remember it fondly. Yeah they were pretty big, I probably wouldn't consider them lesser either. Just been awhile since I've gotten to talk about them and they don't get brought up that much these days so, felt like giving them a little shout. Another that was huge in their day but don't get talked about much now is the Paul Jones Army. He had everybody from the Russians to Rick Rude and the Ragin Bull to Barbarian to Abdullah. I liked Lance Storm and Team Canada too.
