The nWo stable and storyline during the mid 90s turned out to be one the best things about WCW progamming. The initial faction (featuring Scott Hall, Kevin Nash and Hulk Hogan) brought more eyes to World Chmapionship Wrestling and their flagship Monday Nitro television show, and over time, the New World Order completely dominated all aspects of WCW. This went beyond just what we saw on TV, the powerful members of the nWo had enough stroke to make changes backstage also.
The nWo were seen by many within WCW as the key to winning the Monday Night Wars but looking back, the storyline also created a series of problems. From the group's expansion in such a short period of time, the multitude of different nWo groups, the fact that no finish was ever written for the nWo storyline.. the nWo turned out to be both a blessing and a curse for WCW (and even the WWF / WWE). This video looks at 6 key problems with the nWo.
00:00 - The rise of nWo and WCW
02:26 - Too many members

06:56 - Main event dominance
10:41 - Too many nWo groups
13:00 - No finish to the story
17:07 - The WWF / WWE version of nWo

    Agreed. The main problem is the NWO never got their comeuppance. It's Writing 101, when a stable like that takes over in kayfabe and puts everybody down, the only logical resolution is the opposing faction brews their revenge spits everything back at the NWO's face. But Bischoff is too much of a fan girl and Hogan had creative control so they forgot basic storytelling.

    On the Starrcade video, I talked with someone else in the comments about how they could have used the main event to split the nWo. With Nash no-showing the event, if Hogan were to lose cleanly to Sting, Hollywood could unleash his anger at the other members for not coming out to run interference or help him, and especially Nash for not even appearing. I'm 22, so I wasn't able to watch the Wolfpac era and I understand people liked it at the time, but they could either have gone into the Wolfpac then and there or they could have completely disbanded the nWo by having them implode. Furthermore, my personal opinion is that having the nWo booked as strong as they were from the start and for so long was extremely risky. It was almost like saying, "Two guys from the other wrestling company can instill fear into our entire roster and overpower everyone" which is a bizarre message to send and surprises me with how well it was received by the fans.

    The biggest problem with the nWo was that it put the spotlight mostly on aged WWF talent, even though Hall and Nash had been to WCW before they got over in WWF, and looking back at it they sacrificed the rest of the roster. They had great "home grown" guys, but only really elevated DDP and Goldberg, when they had so much more talent than those 2, and Eddie Guerrero and Chris Jericho had to leave to realize their ceiling.

    The thing about there being too many members. It made sense considering that their gimmick was to be more than just another faction but an invading force trying to take over, with faces and heels on the WCW side in unison against them. I know you mentioned that some of the more "questionable choices" were probably made with the nWo show in mind, but regardless of that show not pulling the ratings they had hoped for, I do at least see where they were going from the storyline perspective. They were trying to appear to be something more than just another WCW stable, at that time. That was one of the major differences of the whole nWo thing. I wouldn't have had as much of an issue with the "split" and the "Wolfpac" if they had done it differently. They fired Syxx, broke up Hall and Nash, and put people like Lex Luger in it (only because he was a big name), whose character really just didn't belong or fit the intended group vibe. The glass ceiling for younger talent was very annoying at the time, though. I don't blame the ones who left for the WWE and what was greener pastures back then.

    Another problem with the nWo that occurred to me while watching this, namely their lack of cruiserweights and younger talent. They had Waltman and Konnan (at least when they weren’t injured or no-showing), but for the most part the faction was full of midcarders either past their primes or that worked more traditional “rasslin” styles. Imagine how differently they would’ve been perceived if they had guys like Guerrero or Jericho in the mix.

    The initial nWo invasion is my favorite wrestling storyline of all time. I didn't even mind when all the people were joining because it reminded me of a virus or an outbreak, lol (I'm a zombie movie fan), and I quite enjoyed how the announcers would get paranoid, and freak about who might be next! But its a great point about ending the story (so important!) and how they set up things perfectly for Sting to do it going into Starcade '97. As for if nWo dies we wouldn't get the Wolf Pack, I think they could have still done it. Just after a break for a while. Hell, they probably would have been even more over if the Wolfpack was nWo's big resurrection- not unlike DX 2.0.

    I always thought Ed Leslie as The Disciple was his best gimmick throughout his career

    Something I feel would be an interesting video down the line, possibly at the end of Reliving the War: using Glacier as a case study/omen for why WCW fell apart. Convoluted storylines (Blood Runs Cold), holding onto stuff for too long (the huge delay in Glacier's debut), failing to fulfill announced cards/good booking (Glacier was announced to debut in July and subsequently did not), and major funding issues (Glacier's entrance and attire being ridiculously expensive for a midcard guy).

    The nWo was special, my dad before he died loved them, we loved them together. Thanks for this and reminding me of the good times I had with him brother!

    Scott hasll was my all time favorite in the 90's as Razor Ramon and Kevin Nash was quite articulate for a big guy which made his mic moments hysterical, but when I seen them one night on WCW before they announced their 3rd member so I hung onto watching it to see but I was hooked after it was Hogan. Thus my NWO 4Life journey began and had me glued to the TV every Monday night for 4hrs (6 when they extended the show by an hr). One of the best parts of NWO before they got too big (which I agree, when they where at 24 members I was like "UUGGGGHHH!!! WAY too many!") was having the crooked ref in their corner with slow counts for NWO members pinned and the ref fighting another ref for their job. That was a great angle. I also wish they would have kept it to 7 working guys- Hogan, Hall, Nash, 6pac, Giant, Norton, and Bagwell with Trillionaire Ted as the manager w/Virgil. I would have used the Giant as Heavyweight Champ, Hall/Nash tag champs, 6Pac Cruiser-weight champ, with Norton/Bagwell as intercontinental champs (one or the other) but also a back-up to the tag titles. Holding all the gold and using grimy tactics to keep it With Hogan I would have had Trillionaire Ted DiBiassi make a (fake) solid gold NWO Champion belt like he did with his WWF run, The Million Dollar Belt! Only in this case a twice yearly match for it would take place to see who would run NWO for those 6 months I dunno, All I know is NWO 4LIFE! And i'm blazed....

    Whether a WWF or WCW guy, 1988-2004 was the greatest time for wrestling fans
