>>16197491They'd still been in WCW for years during the big war so they were "WCW Guys" as far as Taker and others were concerned.
Basically Taker during his American Badass phase and ESPECIALLY 2001 was fucking awful. Never tried during his matches, no sold everything, moved slow and couldn't do shit, basically looked like he didn't care. But he was still buddies with Brian Adams so lobbied for Kronik to get in. But (according to Wrath) Wrath was working with a herniated disc and Kane had come off of a staph infection so they weren't 100%. Then some stuff was mistimed early in the mask and Taker just started losing his fucking mind and loudly called spots, then buried them backstage after the match which led to them getting fired.
