Bryan Clark, Jr./ KroniK / Wrath


Bryan Clark, Jr. (Bryan Clark or Bryan Clarke), was born March 14, 1964 in Tallahassee, Florida. He is an American professional wrestler, best known for his appearances with the WWF ( as Adam Bomb and one half of KroniK) and WCW (as Mortis) .

Bryan Clark's pro wrestling debut was replacing the injured Scott Hall at Starrcade '91. After that he appeared in Chicago Championship Wrestling, American Wrestling Association, Smoky Mountain Wrestling, and the UWF.

Clark rejoined the WCW in 1997 as Wrath, teaming with Mortis.

After a couple of injuries, he returned to he WCW forming a tag team with Brian Adams known as KroniK.

Kronik won the WCW Tag Team Wrestling Titles at Bash at the Beach on July 9. KroniK held the titles until August 13, 2000 when they were beaten by Vampiro and The Great Muta.

Goldberg beat both Clark and Adams in a Handicap Match at Halloween Havoc.

KroniK acted as hired muscle, helping The Boogie Knights (Alex Wright and Disco Inferno) battle the Filthy Animals, and eventually working for their former enemies, the Natural Born Thrillers.

KroniK turned face once again in January 2001 , siding with Ernest Miller. They were eventually sidelined when Clark was split open with a chair, needing stitches, and Adams was hospitalized with appendicitis. While both members of KroniK were injured, WCW was purchased by the WWF in March 2001.

WCW: Ciclope


Manuel Ortiz Partida was born May 22, 1971 in Tijuana, Baja California. He is a pro wrestler who is currently wrestling on the Independent Circuit in Mexico, particularly in the Tijuana area.
He is better known by his stage name Halloween.

Manuel Ortiz Partida made his pro wrestling debut in 1990 at Auditorio de Tijuana in Tijuana, Baja California. He spent his time in the Independent Circuit.
He wrestled as "Halloween" for most of his career but switched to "Ciclope" in 1996 when he went to WCW.
Ciclope was neglected in WCW, even when compared to the other luchadors there at the time.
His biggest moment in WCW was as part of the feud between then Cruiserweight Champion Chris Jericho and Dean Malenko.
Malenko, who had been inactive for several months, dressed up as Ciclope to win a Cruiserweight battle royale to determine the number one contender for Chris Jericho's Cruiserweight Title.
Jericho had been refusing to grant Malenko a match, making the disguise necessary.
All Ciclope got out of the deal was a singles match with Jericho on Nitro, which he lost.

Here's a video of Rey Mysterio Jr wrestling Ciclope in the WCW.
