Over at WWE.com they took a look at Wrestling’s overlooked stables. One of those stables was called the Dead Pool which featured ICP, Vampiro and Raven. WWE gave you a quick rundown of the The Dead Pool’s history and posted a 6 man tag team match featuring ICP. You can see the post on WWE below.
Members: Vampiro, Raven & Insane Clown Posse
This short-lived WCW faction may have been one of the coolest looking groups in wrestling history. Raven’s punk rock aesthetic, Vampiro’s haunting presence and the Insane Clown Posse’s painted mania made for an eerie entrance into WCW.
Known as The Dead Pool, Vampiro, Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J did the heavy lifting for this group, while Raven sat back and watched the carnage unfold. The Insane Clown Posse shocked wrestling fans with their surprising proficiency in the ring. While many expected Shaggy, the smaller of the two clowns, to be the highflier, they were stunned when the larger Violent J moonsaulted from the top rope.
The clowns and Vampiro were successful in six-man tag team action. However, Raven ditched them a month after their debut and headed back to ECW. That didn’t ICP and Vampiro’s party from rolling on. They replaced Raven with another painted warrior, The Great Muta, and renamed themselves The Dark Carnival.
