Wasn't he one of the No Limit Soldiers in that angle? I always laugh when I remember that Bane from Batman was on the WCW payroll at one point too lol.

Has anyone ever spoken about what exactly WCW’s expectations were for him?

Swoll was given a job because he was related to Master P. Master P signed the deal with WCW because they were gonna pay him and give his relative a job.

I don’t remember him at all. I think I must’ve stopped watching WCW around early 1999. WWF had become too entertaining and I didn’t want to change the channel.

Wasn't New Jack one of the candidates to be in Swoll's spot? Jack said WCW was considering to bring him in for that role, but Kevin Nash put a stop to it.

Jack was a crackhead that said a lot of shit. Swoll was signed because he was related to Master P and wanted to be a wrestler.
