I do believe Jim Cornette says he came up with this gimmick and the Gangstas, and New Jack does give James E. credit for the Gangstas idea. I think that's one thing that can be appreciated about Jim Cornette. I'm sure he's not very hip and with it, if you will, but he knows of these types of people exist and instead of him trying to push his idea of what these characters were, he let Mosh, Thrasher, New Jack and Mustafa become those characters. That's pretty much the Cornette method to booking.

Jim Cornette creates gimmicks based on the types of people he hates. Eventually it descended into a series of gimmicks of people who have pulses. I'm suprised he hasn't given anyone a Vince Russo gimmick considering he hates Russo more than anyone else (seriously Russo is all he ever talks about nowadays)

I was seriously puzzled why they brought the gimmick/team back in summer/fall 99, I mean NOBODY wanted them back, especially as faces. they flopped BIGTIME too. I'd rather had Chaz continuing on his own

I'd rather had Chaz continuing on his own Because after beaver cleavage, then women beater, they decided just let him be mosh again. But yea, at royal rumble 2000 and so, the headbangers and new age outlaws really seemed like they were getting outdated compared to the rising of the hardys, dudleys and edge & christian (well outlaws were still gettin pops somehow)

I'd rather had Chaz continuing on his own It was the same thing that happened to Val Venis: the gimmick was initially over, but even after it had run its course, the fans couldn't get into any other gimmick he tried, so they went back to what initially worked, even though it wasn't nearly as popular as it once was.
