Knowing how much we lost as fans and wrestlers lost to lead to this day. I'm definitely grateful to watch booker and all these greats. Especially nation of domination. Man Farooq was something special and Ahmed Johnson should have been heavy weight champion. If hulk hogan could have gotten away. Ahmed definitely deserved it

The Nation was so so fuckin awesome!!!man even looking back and watching Farooq come out with his rappers is a gem of a memory

i always love hearing Booker's perspectives on everything wrestling

My all time favorite group.

My favorite stable of all time! ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

“They didn’t discriminate” Lol

The theme is still in my head today

The Nation was a really cool faction. In 96-97 WWF was already pushing the envelope with controversial angles. A Black Nationalist stable was no joke and I don't know if just 10 years later it would have been possible to pull it off, especially with names like Kama Mustafa or Farooq. Too much heat perhaps. Nowadays it would be considered offensive and too stereotypical and it wouldn't fly.

LOVED it. Booker, WCW Vs NWO Revenge, my FAVOURITE wrestling game, cause your Character was AWESOME, you one of my all time favourites. Thanks for the memories.

I was huge fan of the Nation of Domination. The Rock’s coup of the Nation was one of my favorite storylines ever

Nation of domination where cool as hell

I've been watching old RAW shows from 95, currently close to Survivor Series 97 (things were so much better) and I really feel like the Nation didn't get pushed enough. Farooq never got a title run of any kind, and actually lost two finals for the IC belt (yes, belt) up until this point. They should have been so much more dominant with title runs and big wins, but I feel like they never achieved anything other then giving us The Rock, which I guess is a lot...

The name alone made me love them

Ron Simmons always been my favorite as a kid growing up especially when he did "THE DOMINATOR" on people that shit was tight

Props to Vince for letting them do their thang.

I grew up in the 80's (41), and respect the hell out of New Day and a lot of the current talent. The problem is that they don't have an open outlet to be themselves naturally. It's upper management, not the talent.

Farooq was one of my dudes. Always loved him.

The Nation of Domination could of been a main event group but they never let them win the big one. They could of briefly given farooq the wwf title and had others mainly won the other belts. Only when the rock joined is when they put the ic title on him and late 98 put european title on d. lo. The group had potential in being real huged faction but they held them back

The Blue Helmet was on the level as the Red Rooster ...Tippy Toe Terry Taylor

Love the Nation. D-Lo, Kama Mustafa the Supreme Fighting Machine, Farooq, Rocky.

Imagine Zeus, Junkyard Dog, The Nation & Harlem Heat as a faction... Shine on Hurt Business! 🙌

It would be awesome if there were more teams like that but now we got the new day I don't even know if they're still around but

I WAS DOWN WIT IT..... The brothas did the dam thang!

NOD definitely a HOF Group

“That clown is beatin’ the crap out of that dude!” It works.

enough is enough, and it's time for a change!

"Every time he wore that blue helmet out, it motivated him to try and kill somebody!" You know, as ridiculous as that costume was, Ron looked dominant in the ring while wearing it. I really was shocked that Marc Mero beat him in the IC Title tournament finals - I completely expected Faarooq to win the title and have a dominant heel title run while Ahmed Johnson recovered, so that Ahmed could win the title back upon his return. But WWF took the IC title to a completely different direction.

Imagine if Cryme Tyme was a part of that faction. Especially Chad Gaspard. S.I.P.

So when Booker arrived in WCW, was that just after Ron had left? What was the timeline there? Anyway, thr Nation was a hell of a faction. Definitely the best part of the Gang Wars story they were doing in WWF.
