[1] DOA began to form on the June 9, 1997, edition of Raw is War when, the leader of the Nation of Domination, Faarooq fired both Savio Vega and Crush from the stable.
[3] In late November 1997, Crush left the group, and the WWF[2] in protest of the Montreal Screwjob and believing he would fare better in WCW.
With the loss of Crush, DOA started to team on a semi-regular basis with Ken Shamrock and Ahmed Johnson to battle Nation of Domination.
As time passed, Skull and 8-Ball began to focus on their tag team career, leaving Chainz to compete as a singles wrestler.
In June 1998, Chainz had his final match in the company, on an episode of Raw is War, where he lost to Val Venis.
