History
New Jack and Kronus joined forces after New Jack's partner
After losing the title, The Gangstanators continued their feud with the Dudleys.[4] Spike Dudley also entered the feud on the side of the New Jack and Kronus, fighting against his kayfabe brothers. He joined The Gangstanators in six-man matches and sometimes took Kronus' place as New Jack's partner.[5] As the year went on, Kronus, New Jack, and Spike Dudley focused more on their singles careers, although they still teamed with each other on occasion.[6]
The team eventually disbanded, with Kronus leaving ECW for Xtreme Pro Wrestling.[7] New Jack remained in ECW, competing as a singles wrestler in ECW until the promotion declared bankruptcy in April 2001.
