Fun little fact about Tekno Team 2000: Troy, known as Chad Fortune irl, became a long-tenured and successful monster truck driver for Monster Jam. He ended up being a spokesperson for the NWO monster truck too. He would also drive alongside Madusa (yes, THAT madusa) who arguably has one of the most successful female careers in monster trucks. He’s driven several different monster trucks, most notably Superman and Captain America. It’s rumored the trucks he drove had special seat modifications to fit since he was so tall.

@@RealElMaximo They really dropped the ball on Cherry. I remember there was a popularity contest thing with the smackdown divas, a combination of dance offs and bikini contests over several weeks, and Cherry ended up coming second to Michelle McCool. She had organic crowd support. Then the bookers had Deuce and Domino abandon Cherry (Who was one's kayfabe sister and the other's girlfriend!) for Maryse, and they released her after letting her beat Maryse in some mixed tag matches. She had crowd support and sympathy and a gimmick that had evolution potential, and WWE just decided she was too chubby or something and let her go.

Sean O’Haire was a spectacular worker in that he did a lot of really athletic moves we didn’t expect to see from a guy of his size in that era. However, he wasn’t a good worker when it came to the basics of pro wrestling and holding a match together. He also wasn’t picking up those skills in comparison to say Chuck Palumbo and Mark Jindrak. Eventually, the WWE moved on from him to concentrate developing other talent.

It seems up until his TNA run he was only getting hired because of his dad so that should tell you everything.
