I was a total mark for the Radicalz because I was a fan of every one of its members when they were all still working as underneath guys.
As the WCW product began to stagnate in the late 90's, I looked forward to the formation of Revolution (the Radicalz + Shane Douglas) because it seemed like the company was finally going to finish developing and utilize this untapped talent.
When Benoit won the big belt, I thought for sure that the WCW bookers had finally found the pulse again.
Then...flatline.
When WCW allowed those guys to leave and walk right through the WWF's doors, I knew the writing was on the wall.
The Fed was already ahead in the ratings, and WCW was only sinking more.
I think that even though Vince didn't keep the group together for long, their arrival and initial use served as a landmark in the "Monday Night Wars."
