6 | The Varsity Club was a ProfessionalWrestling {{Heel}} PowerStable in what became Wrestling/{{WCW}}. It was formed by Wrestling/KevinSullivan in 1987 with Rick Steiner and Wrestling/MikeRotunda with a gimmick of champion amateur wrestlers who wore their lettermen jackets and bragged about how they were better wrestlers than everyone else. Wrestling/DrDeathSteveWilliams joined in 1988, with Wrestling/DanSpivey being the last member of the original incarnation. They broke up in 1989. The original trio reunited at ''WCW [=Starrcade=] 1999'', adding Leia Meow, formerly Wrestling/{{ECW}} valet Wrestling/KimonaWanalaya, as their cheerleader. The reunion was short-lived. |

12 | !! "Varsity Tropes": |
13 | * ArchEnemy: Wrestling/TheRoadWarriors, Jimmy Garvin, The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Wrestling/{{Scott|Steiner}}) |
14 | * TheBrute: Dan Spivey stands 6'8", making him the biggest guy in the group. |
15 | * DemotedToExtra: After a fairly major redebut, they faded into the background. In the end Sullivan and Rotunda both [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome vanished into thin air]], Steiner bounced around the undercard, and Leia became a dominatrix and started managing the Jung Dragons. |
16 | * FaceHeelTurn: They actually redebuted as faces, coming to the aid of Wrestling/HacksawJimDuggan against The Revolution. Of course, they backstabbed Duggan in that same match for whatever reason. |
17 | * HatesEveryoneEqually: In one promo, Kevin Sullivan said, "We don't like ANYBODY!" |
18 | * JerkJock: They were excellent wrestlers who were also huge heels. |
19 | * LeotardOfPower: Goes with the amateur wrestling gimmick. |
20 | * MsFanservice: Leia Meow wearing skimpy cheerleader outfits, jumping on a trampoline and doing calisthenics. |
21 | * RedBaron: Sullivan's was "The Gamesmaster". |
22 | * IKnowKarate: Their whole gimmick was that they knew collegiate wrestling. |
