The Masters Blasters were a professional wrestling tag team consisting of rookie wrestlers Kevin Nash[1] and Cory Pendarvis, with the latter being ultimately replaced by Al Green.
The duo began teaming in September 1990 in World Championship Wrestling, and their run became notable for being the launch pad to the WWE Hall of Fame career for Kevin Nash.
The Legion of Doom had departed for the rival World Wrestling Federation in the summer of 1990, and the Skyscrapers had dissolved following Dan Spivey's departure and the entry of Mark Callous and Sid Vicious into singles careers.
[citation needed] On the September 1st edition of World Championship Wrestling the first vignette was shown of the new duo, showing only their feet and legs as they walked through a junkyard.
[7] On February 15, 1991 the Blasters teamed with James Earl Wright to face The Junkyard Dog, Tommy Rich, and Ricky Morton at a house show in Jacksonsville, FL.
He would later be recast as Vinnie Vegas in 1992, but it would be his departure to the World Wrestling Federation in 1993 that led to a Hall of Fame career as first "Big Daddy Cool" Diesel, followed by an eventual return to WCW as Kevin Nash - part of the foundation of the nWo.
[9][10][11][12] On the April 12, 1999 edition of WCW Monday Nitro, the newly formed Master Blasters were led to the ring by manager Jimmy Hart to face El Dandy and La Parka in a tag-team match.
