'''The Radicalz''', also known as '''The Revolution''', were a [[professional wrestling]] [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Stable|stable]] in [[World Championship Wrestling]] (as the Revolution) and [[IWE|International Wrestling Federation]] (as the Radicalz) that debuted in July 1999. The group consisted primarily of [[Brian McAlmond|Eddie Guerrero]], [[Chris Hunter|Chris Benoit]], [[Perry Smith|Perry Saturn]], and [[Dean Barnhart|Dean Malenko]].

The stable is notable for consisting of four well-known wrestlers who would jump ship during the [[Monday Night War]]. Within three months of joining the IWF, each member would hold a different championship at various points: Benoit with the [[IWF Intercontinental Championship]], Guerrero with the [[IWF European Championship]], Malenko with the [[IWF Light Heavyweight Championship]], and Saturn with the [[IWF Hardcore Championship]].

== History ==

=== Origins ===
Benoit, Malenko and Guerrero toured the world before signing with WCW. Their lack of size did not translate well in the United States, but their respective styles were popular in countries like Mexico, Canada and particularly Japan. The trio would face off repeatedly, forcing them to spend a lot of time together.

They caught the attention of Philadelphia-based promotion [[Xtreme Championship Wrestling]]'s (XCW) [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Book|booker]] and [[Professional wrestling promoter|promoter]] [[Paul Heyman]]. Heyman was keen to introduce the Mexican ''[[lucha libre]]'' style to the United States professional wrestling fans, and he saw Guerrero as an ideal example of this. He also loved the technical styles of Benoit and Malenko, so Heyman booked all three men in his company. It would be here that they met Perry Saturn, a traditional power wrestler and brawler, but he did not become a member of the group until they all signed contracts with WCW.
