New Blood

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The New Blood was a professional wrestling stable in World Championship Wrestling in 2000.

In early 2000, WCW decided that Kevin Sullivan's booking style was not as successful as they had hoped. So, they decided to bring back former WCW president Eric Bischoff and former head of creative Vince Russo, putting them together to run WCW with the thought that they could keep each other's failures in check.

Onscreen, Bischoff and Russo took over and declared all WCW titles vacant on April 10, 2000. They also declared a new stable with both of them at the helm called The New Blood. It consisted of most of the younger wrestlers in WCW and they would feud with the "Millionaire's Club", the older stars of WCW whom they claimed held back the younger talent. The idea was to get the younger talent over and generate more interest among the younger fans that watched the World Wrestling Federation instead of WCW.

On April 16, 2000, at Spring Stampede in Chicago, Illinois, all of the titles were filled with matches between the New Blood and the Millionaire's Club. The feuds continued for another month or so before the New Blood disbanded due to WCW management making a hasty decision that it was not working. However, the New Blood theme continued in WCW coinciding with the "New Blood Rising" Pay-Per-View in August 2000.

While Hulk Hogan feuded with the New Blood, he would occasionally wear a black denim vest, with the initials "F.U.N.B." on the back in white. The initials "F.U.N.B." stood for "Fuck U New Blood". During a televised promo, Hogan said "The N.B. stands for New Blood, and you can guess what the F.U. means, brother!"
