I liked them a lot. Both seperately and as a team. Plus Kronik had supremely awesome theme music. So awesome that Stevie Richards had to have a part of it. When Stevie Richards being your manager can't make me like you, there's something wrong with your act. |

I really hate to admit this, and I should save it for one of the "Honesty" threads, but I thought Kronik was money when they first debuted together in WCW. Clark and the late-Bryan Adams weren't clueless to working an entertaining style for big men as singles, and it was times two. When facing the right opponents (smaller guys), they could be entertaining.
Put these guys in the era of 1985-1990, and Baba could've booked them to win the All-Japan Real World Tag League, and gone down as IWC/smark legends. Or at least slightly below the Road Warriors, but a notch above Demolition, without resorting to the two-man, kickass, face-paint, power team gimmick.
But Kronik's legacy as a team was ruined by the crappiness of WCW when they were there, combined with their botched WWE run. Not all their fault.

I'll agree about their WWE run, but in WCW these guys were on fire in 2000. If Goldberg or another face wasn't on Nitro/Thunder that night, and the faces needed saving from Steiner and his group, Kronik would run out there and clean house and they got big pops as well. |

Although I would be a very happy man if I never saw these lists again, I can confer that that was his list.  I'm not one of those death bandwagon fans. Dude how can you have list with out LOD.... |

Kronik was like APA, only they were more legit. Please elaborate, as I completely disagree. Not only did they rip off APA's gimmick, but Simmons and Bradshaw were "legit" in-ring enforcers. |

Kronik lived their gimmick more. Bradshaw was a stockbroker in reality, and RS was a class-clown backstage.

I liked them as a team, but I was never really sure why they had to be called Kronik and have a finished called the High Times....when I don't recall either of them ever hinting towards smoking anything...
RVD and Sabu would have been better off being called Kronik...atleast that would have made some sense...

Wouldn't that have landed him in jail for a good period of time? Specially during the Clinton regime... |

I was saddened by Crush's passing just as much as anybody else, but until he died, I think posters were more likely to comment on how bad the Unforgiven 2001 match was as opposed to them being HOF worthy. Well, yeah. That match did suck, but that was hardly the fault of Clarke & Adams. Kane & 'Taker were just plain lazy by that point, but of course the WWE Braintrust wasn't going to see that two of their own performers screwed up. |
