Rookies of the Year
Before June 26, few people had heard of Jindrak and O'Haire. But on that night in Des Monies, Iowa, the fresh faced duo made a name for themselves by upsetting Rey Mysterio Jr. and Juventud Guerrera in Jindrak and O'Haire Nitro debut. Jindrak spent little more then a year training at the Power Plant, while O'Haire trained there for six months. There victory wasn't a fluke, it was only the beginning.
Three months after thereNitro debut, they won the Vacant WCW tag team title in a battle royal, Jindrak and O'Haire-who teamed with five other young, hungry wrestling to form the Natural Born Thrillers-went on to hold the belts for 7 1/2 weeks, the second longest title reign of any tag team in WCW in 2000.
With each man possessing heavyweight size and cruiserweight agilitly, Jindrak and O'Haire proved natural ability and determination can overcome a lack of experience.
