The Filthy Animals was a professional wrestling stable in WCW (World Championship Wrestling) from 1999 until 2001. The stable was created during a major feud with another stable The Revolution, which was formed by Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, Shane Douglas and Perry Saturn.

The Filthy Animals consistently played the role of Tweeners, usually pulling pranks and hijinks on heels and faces alike. They would steal wallets and mock older wreslters. They broke into Ric Flair's locker room and stole one of his famous entrance robes, which they took turns wearing and imitating Flair's signature strut and "Wooo!". Although they became extremely popular due to their DX-style pranks, the high flying nature of most of their matches, and their inventive tag team maneuvers, their run was short-lived due to the demise of WCW.

Eddie Guererro invented some of his more memorable schtick while with the Filthy Animals, including his famous fake chair knock out (he would knock his opponent out with a chair while the ref was distacted, then drape the chair on their unconscious body, and pretend to be knocked out himself, usually with the ref turning around just in time to see his opponent waking up wondering why they were holding a chair and getting disqualified. Eddie would, from time to time, open one eye to peek or wink to the crowd and gesture them to "shhhh!".

Some of the Animals have teamed up with each other in different promotions after the sale of WCW, including a stint in WWE in which Rey Mysterio and Kidman reunited.
