Concept

The Filthy Animals was a group conceived after Vince Russo and Ed Ferrara were hired by WCW.[2] The plan for the stable was to be WCW's version of the World Wrestling Federation's D-Generation X.[2] Instead of being strictly villains (heels) or heroes (faces), they were in between (tweeners).[2] They pulled pranks and hijinks on both villains and fan favorites alike. They would steal wallets and mock older wrestlers. They broke into Ric Flair's locker room and stole one of his famous entrance robes, which they took turns wearing and imitating Flair's signature strut and "Wooo!". The group is also notable as Rey Mysterio's time in the group was one of the few periods in which he wrestled without a mask.

History

The stable was created during a major feud with another stable known as the Dead Pool. They later mainly feud with The Revolution, which was composed of Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, Shane Douglas and Perry Saturn.

Eddie Guerrero invented some of his more memorable shtick while with the Filthy Animals, including his famous fake chair knock out (he would knock his opponent out with a chair while the ref was distracted, then drape the chair on their unconscious body, and pretend to be knocked out himself, usually with the ref turning around just in time to see his opponent waking up wondering why they were holding a chair and getting disqualified. Eddie would, from time to time, open one eye to peek or wink to the crowd and gesture them to "shhhh!").

The group had also released an album featuring all of their WCW themes, rapped by themselves.
