Van Hammer's Bio and Costumes -------------------------------- Name: Van Hammer Short Name: Hammer Height: 6'6" Weight: 275 lbs. Heavy Metal Van Hammer debuted in WCW in 1991, wrestling at Clash of the Champions XVI and defeating Terry Taylor. He soon became a fan favorite, due to his love of rock music and motorcycles. Hammer had feuds with such wrestlers as Vinnie Vegas (Kevin Nash), Cactus Jack, and Big Sky. With his "Hammerhead" fan club, Van Hammer seemed to be on the way to a title. But substance abuse soon became a problem, and after losing to Sid Vicious at Slamboree '93, Hammer disappeared from the scene, to work on curbing his addictions. He also had contract problems with WCW, which continued for some time. In 1997, Raven joined the WCW and formed his Flock, a group of wrestlers that did his bidding. This is where Hammer reappeared, siding with Raven's group and becoming a Flock member. Hammer routinely sat at ringside with the other members of the Flock, including Billy Kidman, Perry Saturn, Scotty Riggs(Anton), and other notable young wrestlers. For a time, all Hammer did was what Raven told him to do, which usually led to him falling in the ring. In May of 1998, a feud began between Hammer and Saturn, Raven's right-hand man in the Flock at the time. The two decided to have a "Loser Leaves The Flock" match, which Hammer managed to win. But Raven, deciding he'd rather keep Saturn, instead had his Flock brutally attack Hammer, kicking him out of the Flock. Van Hammer continued his feud against the Flock, sometimes with a teammate (such as Juventud Guerrera), while other times as a singles wrestler. This lasted for a short while, before Saturn and Raven had their feud, eventually ending in the Flock's demise. Van Hammer then faded from view for a few months. In early '99, Van Hammer reappeared on a Thunder show. He restarted his old look, becoming a "hippie"-styled wrestler with the Flashback, his neckbreaker-finisher. This time, though, Van Hammer seemed to stay in his bracket, losing to the more established stars repeatedly. ********** *COSTUMES* ********** Costume #1: 44 (Black Pants with Red Boots) Costume #2: 63 (Black Hole Filled Shirt with Black Pants and Red Boots and Kneepads) Costume #3: 33 (Red Pants with Red Boots) Costume #4: 63 (Red Pants with Red Boots and Red Kneepads) ---------------------- II.
