They were 3 young , talented heartthrobs of professional wrestling.  They had two hit singles and were the talk of the mall concert scene.  Pop music was never the same again. Then, fate stepped in and one massive ego broke up this promising trio.   One young man was swept up by a Hurricane.  Another stepped over into the Punk genre of music.  While the other disappeared from television altogether.  Still, almost 10 years later, the fans still couldn't get them out of their hearts!  So let's appreciate this group of talented young men, and remember... that EVERYBODY goes down for the 3 Count! |

I didn't like them at the time, I thought their matches were substandard spotfests.
Later on I appreciated how well they did the gimmick and saw that particularly Helms and Shannon Moore had more subtleties to them. Karagais was poor though.
In recent times, Helms has soured me on enjoying any of his work, but the gimmick was a thing of beauty and not many could pull it off as well.

3 Count was one of the few highlights of a dying WCW.

Great gimmick.
WWE should create a new wrestling boyband, perhaps to appeal to the Bieber fans.

Evan Kargwahteverhislastnameis has been and will be awful. That said, it actually was a suprising diamond in the rough of the bloated whale that was WCW at that time. Tank Abbott made it even better.

Why all the Evan Karagias hate? I don't get that. I always enjoyed his work.

I liked Evan as well, but I think he only had one move, which was his finisher.

What about the fourth member of 3 Count? Tank Abbot?? Also, Hurricane Helms offered Lance Storm to teach him some of his 3 Count dance moves! |

I liked 3 Count as well. They had entertaining matches and their songs (especially their first one) were pretty good. Even Tank Abbott being a mega fan of 3 Count was great.

Sugar Shane Helms was much more entertaining to me than the Hurricane ever will be. Three Count were awesome and every time Helms and Moore are in the same company I hold out hope Evan will just randomly show up
not that any one would recognize Evan

Jimmy Hart sounds like he back up sung for their theme, Tank Abbot dancing to their theme was hilarious
