Turning Hogan heel was an absolute out of the box idea. It was a huge chance that paid off BIG! The only mistake in the NWO storyline was bringing SO MANY DAMNED PEOPLE INTO IT.

@Meta Man true. The only difference being that DX didn't water the concept down with 1000 members. DX also was more light & comical where the NWO was more about brute force. I don't know how true it is, but around the time of the NWO there was a ground swelling about a one world government that was given the title of "The New World Order". I had heard that Ted Turner was a big supporter of the one world government concept. I always thought that if that was true, what better way to indoctrinate millions of people to the New World Order idea than to have that NWO wrestling faction in their homes every week. You take the biggest star on the planet in Hulk Hogan & have him saying "New World Order" weekly... Again, I don't know if that was all true or not but if you were looking to push a real world political agenda & you KNOW you have millions of eyes staring at their TV every Monday night...

Booker hands down you dont want to say it but I will. You was were and still is the shit, as a kid you was the man, when Ron Simmons left you took over. Then when you did the transition from The WCW Double Champ to King Booker has been a blast to watch. The matches between you and Stone Cold were some of the best till this date.

The problem nobody wants to admit to is how badly botched nWo was in WCW. They never had a long term plan for it. There was no conclusion to WCW v nWo. Instead fans got nWo infighting, red v black. Ideally looking back nWo should have lost to WCW cleanly, clearly and in doing so put over a fresh class of workers THEN have the red v black breakdown. Eventually you end up with interesting storylines and the wrestlers with the talent and experience to headline while the old guard slowly fades away. Just an opinion but guys like Benoit, Booker T, DDP, Rey, Eddie, Jericho, Wrath, Kanyon, Raven, Kidman, Chavo, Ultimo Dragon, Scotty Riggs, Disco, Alex Wright, Malenko, La Parka Bagwell, Giant Paul White would have been better equipped to lead WCW into a competitive and profitable 2000's. Hall, Nash, Hogan, Savage, Flair, Sting, Henning and Lex all should have been on legacy contracts post nWo and used very sparingly to spike ratings.

The nWo theme was one of the best themes of all time. It worked well. And the fact Hogan had his own theme and the B members had their own theme made it all the better.

‘We need some color bro’ lmaooo

Booker T remind me of my favorite uncles

Great insight! The problem with the nWo is simple. They couldn't decide is they were a faction or a complete wrestling organization. I've heard Bischoff say it was meant to become a separate organization but if that's the case why didn't they wrestle each other? Lol....🤔😏. Once they had the split from The Wolfpac I guess that was closer to what Bischoff says and that's probably when Nash approached Booker T. Instead they ended up with a guy like Luger who didn't fit at all. In the end they were truly a faction who ran as a pack vs WCW so that's where having 20 guys becomes overkill and stale. The last straw was reforming into nWo Elite, and that damn fingerpoke of doom.

One week? I thought Booker was in the nwo for atleast a month? or am I wrong?

I remember watching them put Book in the 2002 nWo and thinking "damn WWF knows how to screw up anything they didn't create!" That group looked so stupid together in my opinion. Although I didn't appreciate the unceremonious KICKING out of the group (especially since he had no retribution v Shawn but that's WWF keeping Booker down once again during the early days smh 😒), I was happy to see him out of the group. It's pretty obvious Booker isn't a "faction guy" especially not in his prime at that time. He was awesome in the MEM in TNA but that worked for ALL of those guys even Sting as a bunch of legendary veterans.
