Kronik were great, I wish they hadn't got so out of shape for their WWF run. I just watched unforgiven 01 with them facing taker and kane, i wouldnt say they were out of shape but they blew up quickly cos of the bulk of muscle they were carrying, just like the rock in his return. Yeah I meant out of shape as in, bad cardio.

I didn't care too much for Wrath, but I especially liked Mortis/Kanyon. He was a hell of a wrestler. I could swear that after Kanyon arrived in the WWF after WCW was sold off, he very briefly brought back the Mortis character. I remember him being pictured in the Mortis costume in a SmackDown magazine. I can't find any clips or anything on YouTube however. It's very unfortunate Kanyon passed away. Like SO many in the wrestling business, he died WAY too young. It was teasing the return of Mortis (in purple), but was fired a month or so later (maybe even before the magazine came out?). I don't think he would've been much good without Vandenberg, however...or the weird skull-wearing-a-jester's-hat staff.

Im always a sucker for "mysterious and creepy" gimmicks, and I liked Mortis and Wrath. They were really only brought in for the "Blood Runs Cold" angle with Glacier, but I thought they could have been more. They were underrated as wrestlers too. I remembers their tag match against Glacier and Ernest Miller at Bash at the Beach being pretty good.

Kronik was a bad ass team and could've made it in WWE if they were given another chance instead of being shoved down to developmental where they ended up quitting I believe.
I think it was Undertaker who sealed their fate because he was unhappy with their tag match. If you go back and watch that match you can actually see Undertaker gettting frusterated on the ring apron due to Kronik's offense.
I think that is BS by the way. It's not like Adams and Clarke were rookies. So what if they had one bad match? They hadn't wrestled in months. It's not like Undertaker never had a bad match. Just watch that crappy ass Hell in a Cell with Taker vs. Bossman...and that garbage was at a Wrestlemania.
Did Taker and Bossman get sent to developmental after that match? Of course not. It sucked and they moved on.

yeah Kronik took their demotion very badly and walked.
however because both were good buddies with UT they should have been patient....their chance would have came again.

I've got to be honest, for me, the most memorable part of Clark's Wrath run, came after he split from Mortis:
If he didn't later form Kronik with Adams, that, would have been how I would remember his whole WCW career.

I was aware of that man-Clarke quit over this decision.he should have bided his time.Adams staying without Clarke was pointless IMO.they were brought together as a team.
Adams by this point wasnt gonna be anyone on his own.

Wrath disappeared after the Nash match since he tore his ACL again shortly after that. That was also why he disappeared from Mortis.
I always loved the Mortis / Kanyon evolution. You so rarely see any of the wrestlers transition to a new gimmick, instead just being a new person like Husky Harris / Bray Wyatt, Skip Sheffield / Ryback and Dolph Ziggler / Nicky. After Wrath got injured, Raven DDT'd Mortis on a chair during a match. A little while later during Raven's feud with DDP, one of Raven's riot squad body guards handcuffed Raven to a steel cage, then took his helmet off to show the Mortis mask. After beating with a nightstick or something, he took his mask off, and declared his name as Kanyon the next day on Nitro. I wish they'd do that more often.
