I. 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.
