#8 The Dangerous Alliance

The Dangerous Alliance

When Paul E Dangerously was hired by WCW in the early 1990s, he was initially assigned the managership of the Original Midnight Express, who were feuding with the Stan Lane/Bobby Eaton variation of that team. Quickly, the WCW management recognized Paul Heyman's gift of gab and decided to make him the figurehead of the top heel faction in their promotion.

The line up of the Alliance reads like a who's who of some of the greatest names to ever work in wrestling. Veteran performer Larry Zybysko joined former Horseman Arn Anderson to form the Enforcers, the Alliance's tag team. Aerial specialist Beautiful Bobby Eaton would also join the lineup, as well as (then) newcomer Steve Austin, and top draw Ravishing Rick Rude.

The Alliance worked the bloodiest match in history against Sting's Squadron in a Wargames match that is still talked about today.

Gathering such a plethora of talent behind one of the sport's most skilled talkers was a genius move, and the Dangerous Alliance is still talked about today. Here they are taking on fellow listers the Freebirds.
