(Subject to change- superstars may go to the smackdown roster)



BIG BOSS MAN
Height: 6' 6"
Weight: 315 pounds
From: Cobb County, Georgia
Finishing move: Boss Man Slam
Career Highlights: Tag Team Champion; Hardcore Champion (4)


After being absent from WWE for years, the Big Boss Man made his return to protect Vince McMahon from the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin and the Undertaker. It wasn't long before the Boss Man defeated Mankind for his first WWE title - the Hardcore Championship. Soon thereafter, he teamed up with Ken Shamrock to become one half of the Tag Team Champions.

His success since returning to WWE should come as no surprise. He has shed the excess weight, which hindered his success in the past. The man from Cobb County is now quicker and more dangerous than ever before.

BIG SHOW
Height: 7' 2"
Weight: 500 pounds
From: Tampa, Florida
Finishing move: Chokeslam
Career Highlights: WWE Champion; WWE Tag Team Champion (2); Hardcore Champion (2)



Since making his WWE debut at the St. Valentine's Day Massacre Pay-Per-View in February 1999, the Big Show has been wowing WWE fans with a unique mix of power, charisma and ability.
A former WWE Champion, Show has also held the Tag Team Championship and Hardcore Champion on several occasions each. He was also privileged enough to perform in the main event of WrestleMania 2000.

But perhaps the most impressive thing about the Big Show is his pure size. Show stands 7-foot-2, and weighs an astronomical 500 pounds! That power caught the eye of the nWo, who welcomed the Big Show into their powerful faction to serve as its resident enforcer. Show's size and strength is sure to make him and the nWo a frightening team to deal with.

BOOKER T
Height: 6' 3"
Weight: 250 pounds
From: Houston, Texas
Favorite Quote: "Tell me you did not just say that!"
Finishing move: Scissors Kick
Career Highlights: WCW Champion (5); WCW U.S. Champion; WCW Television Champion (6); WCW Tag Team Champion (11); WWE Tag Team Champion



Booker T came into WWE and quickly established himself as one of its top superstars. The Bookerman continues to pride himself on his success in WCW, where he held the WCW Championship on five occasions. In fact, Booker is the most decorated man in WCW history -- altogether, he held 22 WCW titles!

RAW Owner Ric Flair took notice of Booker T's ring prowess and made him a member of the powerful nWo. Although Booker leapt at the invitation, his recent tag team partner resented being left behind and has since tried everything in his power to join Booker in the faction. Eventually, Booker parteed ways with the nWo, and now sees his former allies as bitter enemies.

The Bookerman dazzles fans with what he calls the most electrifying move in sports entertainment -- the spinerooni! With this impressive move in his corner, and with his incredible arsenal of kicks, there's no doubt that Booker T will be a force in WWE for years to come!

BRADSHAW
Height: 6' 6"
Weight: 290 pounds
From: Sweethingyern, Texas
Finishing move: Clothesline from Hell
Career Highlights: WWE Tag Team Champion (3); Hardcore Champion (current)



Bradshaw, the tough Texan, makes it clear that he loves to brawl with anyone. The only things he loves more than brawling are drinking beer and smoking cigars. He, along with Faarooq, started the Acolyte Protection Agency with those in mind.

The agency provides protection to any WWE Superstar, as long as they have cash, and as long as they don't make any "suggestions" to the APA. Of course, they don't keep the money, they just buy more beer!

The scouting report on the APA is simple: Don't make them mad. Faarooq and Bradshaw are two of the toughest S.O.B.s on the planet, and they love to kick ass just for fun! And don't ever interrupt them when they're playing cards ... it may be a painful experience!

CHRIS JERICHO

Height: 6'
Weight: 231 pounds
From: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
Favorite Quote: "I'm a living legend!" Finishing move: The Walls of Jericho
Career Highlights: Undisputed World Wrestling Champion; WCW Champion; Intercontinental Champion (4); European Champion; Hardcore Champion; Tag Team Champion (2); WCW TV Champion; WCW Cruiserweight Champion


They said he was too small to ever be a "main-event superstar." They said he couldn't "win the big one." Chris Jericho proved them all wrong.
Jericho first appeared on WWE television on the August 9, 1999, episode of RAW -- live from Chicago. Windy City fans have a reputation for being rabid -- and on that day, they more than lived up to it. When "Jericho" appeared on the Titan Tron, the fans went crazy. A star was born. Jericho immediately gave himself a nickname -- Y2J -- to emphasize that he was the superstar for the new millennium.

During the ensuing two years, Jericho won the Intercontinental Championship on four occasions, the Tag Team Championship twice, and the European and Hardcore titles as well. An impressive resume to be sure, but after coming in with such a bang, some critics suggested that his first two years with the company had been a disappointment because he didn’t win the WWE Championship. Before coming to WWE, Jericho had four unquestionably disappointing years in WCW, so some doubters suggested that Jericho lacked the size necessary to ever make it to the top. It certainly couldn't have been a lack of charisma or athletic ability - Jericho has those to spare.

Finally, in late 2001, Jericho forced all his doubters to, as he would say, "shut the hell up." He "won the big one," defeating The Rock at October's No Mercy Pay-Per-View to capture the WCW Championship. Then, in December at Vengeance, he became the only man to defeat The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin in the same night, and thus became the Undisputed Champion.

That night, Dec. 9 in San Diego, Calif., he also became the only superstar to have held five different WWE titles.

With all those accolades, it is perhaps no surprise that Y2J took on a significantly more conceited attitude in subsequent weeks. He'll step in the ring and get face to face with a man like Ric Flair -- arguably sports entertainment's greatest of all time -- and call himself a "larger-than-life superstar" and a "living legend." He'll insist that fans "clap their filthy little hands" in his honor.

It may seem unbelievable to many fans. After all, Y2J was one of the World Wrestling Entertainment's most popular superstars. But even if they want to boo, his detractors can never again say that Y2J won't make it to the top. In 2001, Chris Jericho proved them all wrong when he became the first-ever WWE Undisputed Champion.

I forgot to put Bubba before Chris Jericho

BUBBA RAY DUDLEY
Height: 6' 4"
Weight: 275 pounds
From: Dudleyville
Favorite Quote: "D-Von... Get the tables!"
Finishing move: Bubba Bomb
Career Highlights: Hardcore Champion (2); WWE Tag Team Champion (6); WCW Tag Team Champion; ECW Tag Team Champion (8)



Since the break-up of the Dudley Boyz -- considered by many to be the greatest tag team of all time -- Bubba Ray Dudley has found his niche on RAW as a member of the Hardcore division. He won the Hardcore Championship in his very first singles match, and since then, he has blazed a path of no-holds-barred destruction every Monday night!

As of late, Bubba has added a new arsenal to his repertoire -- the big man likes to dance! When he gets his feet moving, it never fails to get the fans cheering!

CHRIS NOWINSKI
Height: 6' 5"
Weight: 270 pounds


Chris Nowinski holds a degree from Harvard, and he's proud of it. But Nowinski is not proud of the fact that he lost out to Maven for the for Tough Enough Championship. The fact that he didn't win a WWE contract during the competition didn't slow his training, however. He actually became more determined than ever to become a WWE Superstar.

WWE officials were forced to take notice of the brainy, athletic Nowinski. During an episode of RAW, the former Crimson football player jumped out of the crowd and slipped a pair of brass knuckles to William Regal. After felling his opponent with the "power of the punch," Regal strolled up the exit ramp with Nowinski grinning proudly at his side. Nowinski and Regal have continued to work together, forming perhaps the most diabolical and clever partnerships in WWE.
