-	The Revolution was formed by [[Chris Hunter\|Chris Benoit]], [[Dean Barnhart\|Dean Malenko]], Shane Douglas and [[Perry <!--Abraham (2006 pg. 69)--> Smith\|Perry Saturn]] on the July 29, 1999 edition of ''[[WCW Thunder]]''.

-	The concept held some truth, and in reality the stable was actually made up of close friends, as Douglas, Benoit, Malenko and Saturn knew each other from their days in [[Xtreme Championship Wrestling]] (XCW).

-		+
-	In October of that year, after [[Vince Russo]] became head writer, the [[Gimmick (professional wrestling)\|gimmick]] of the group changed to one that was anti-America and anti-government. This was established with Benoit taking a microphone, looking toward the entrance stage, and stating that they were "tired of the politics going on in the back". This blurred the line between [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Angle\|storyline]] and [[Shoot (professional wrestling)\|real-life]] in regards to how WCW was being managed.	+

-	The group even went so far as to create their own flag and claim to have left the [[United States of America\|United States]] and formed their own government.

-	Benoit and Malenko left the group in October, but Malenko [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Turn\|turned]] on Benoit in a setup where Malenko had never really left The Revolution.
