Following the lead of Master P and Megadeth, both Kiss and the Insane Clown Posse will turn up at World Championship Wrestling events in the coming weeks.

On Monday, when the WCW heads to Rockford, Illinois for this week's edition of its live "Monday Nitro" broadcast, ICP will hit the stage to perform, much like Megadeth did earlier this month (see "Megadeth Sets Album Date, Welcomes Goldberg Back To WCW").

Meanwhile, Kiss' involvement with the Ted Turner-owned wrestling outfit is a bit more elaborate. The band will essentially loan their endorsement and legendary makeup to a group of wrestlers dubbed in the press as "the Kiss Warriors" (though a spokesperson for WCW says that a name for the collective has yet to be chosen).

The first man to grapple under the Kiss banner will be fashioned after Gene Simmons' demon persona and will be introduced during WCW's "Monday Nitro" on August 23. That broadcast, which will come live from Las Vegas' MGM Grand, will see Kiss turn up and perform to help introduce the new WCW personality.

The move is similar to one that recently saw Master P guide his No Limit Soldiers into the ranks of the WCW and turn up at a number of WCW events.
