Natural Born Thrillers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Natural Born Thrillers was a professional wrestling stable in World Championship Wrestling in 2000.

[edit] History

The Natural Born Thrillers were made up of seven young graduates of the WCW Power Plant. They were trained together by Paul Orndorff and WCW management decided to push them immediately.

The Thrillers were Mike Sanders, Chuck Palumbo, Sean O'Haire, Shawn Stasiak, Reno, Mark Jindrak and Johnny the Bull. They were briefly "coached" by Kevin Nash when they first started.

The Thrillers came across as very cocky and disrespectful to established stars, even going as far as trying to steal their gimmicks (Stasiak feuded with and "stole" Curt Hennig's "Perfect" gimmick while Palumbo feuded with and "stole" Lex Luger's "Package" gimmick). Despite being very green in the ring, they were booked over established stars, won titles and enjoyed a constant push by way of Dusty Finishes. They feuded with Misfits In Action, KroniK and the Filthy Animals. By February 2001, the Thrillers had broken up, though Palumbo and O'Haire continued as a tag team as well did Stasiak and Jindrak briefly.
