    Davon Baxter-Davis Yeah, that's fucking BULLSHIT. Everybody says it try try and appear smart and funny but it's just not true in the slighest. WCW had like 100 - 130 people on roster in 1998. And 30 at most were in the nWo between the 2 nWo factions. Goldberg, DDP, Flair, Rick Steiner, Rey, Jericho, Booker T, Eddie, Benoit, Malenko, High Voltage, Public Enemy, Norman Smiley, Regal, Finlay, Mongo, Juventud, Raven, Saturn, Reese, Kanyon, Wrath, La Parka, Meng, Barbarian, Lenny Lane, Lodi, Bigelow, Kidman, Ernest Miller, Disco, Alex Wright, Mike Enos, Tokyo Magnum, Nagata, Ultimate Warrior, etc. etc. etc. were never in the nWo.

    @@herecomesdatrain i heard the original plans for Wrestlemania 23 was for Cena and HHH to have a rematch from the prior year with HHH going over, and HBK was supposed to face Book in a one on one match. They changed plans when HHH got injured. HBK around that time didn't have a problem putting anyone over. He helped put Orton, Benoit, Rey Mysterio the RAW tribute to Eddie, Y2J, Cena over. The HBK from the 90's in no way would've even excepted losing clean to Hogan at Summerslam, tap to Kurt Angle and Cena at Wrestlemania. Not sure who would've won match between them at Wrestlemania 23 but HBK would have helped put Book over if he had to. Now HHH once again had to come bury Book at Summerslam 2007.

    Looking back, it probably would have been a bad move for Booker to join. I would always keep a faction as big as the number of titles in the specific promotion. I believe WCW had the World, United States, Television, Tag Team & Cruiserweight. That's 6. -- Hogan, Nash, Hall, Syxx being 4. Scott Steiner & The Giant probably being the final two members if I were booking it nowadays.

    Booker wasn’t in it for one week he was in it for five weeks. And had a match all those five weeks. First the lumberjack match against Stone Cold when he was first announced as the new member. Then he teamed with Goldust against the Hardyz even though the nWo didn’t like him still hanging around Goldust. Then him and X-Pac teamed up against the Hardyz and he first started wearing the colors. Then he won a King of the Ring qualifying match against William Regal. Then he teamed with Big Show and X-Pac against Spike Dudley Tommy Dreamer and Shawn Stasiak. Then later that same night Shawn Michaels kicked him out. I always assumed he was put in it to replace Scott Hall.
