does anyone remember how Dusty Rhodes joined up? I remember tuning in one week and here he is out of nowhere in nWo gear..... January 24, 1998--Souled Out: "Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko w/Dusty Rhodes defeated Scott Hall w/Louie Spicolli by DQ. Dusty Rhodes turned against Larry Zbyszko and World Championship Wrestling, joining the heel new World order.. Credit:OWOW |

Scott Norton wasn't really that bad of an addition, the problem with him was that he was always out in Japan so it made no sense to build him up when they did |

the nWo could've went on indefinitely if it had just stayed a "Core Group" of the most powerful and innovative guys in wrestling...
Hollywood Hogan - the centerpiece,and World Champion
Hall & Nash - Tag Specialists,capable of going to the ME when necessary
Syxx - the Cruiseweight Specialist
The Giant - the muscle of the group/enforcer,US/TV Champ
Scott Steiner - the "wild card" , and WCW defector,US/TV Champ
Ted Dibiase - the moneyman and manager
everyone else didn't need to be there....

Anyone that came after Hogan, Hall and Nash. The original three and it should have been kept that way. When you had 20 members in the group, the value just went down. I think Bret COULD have worked, if he was member 4, but that's it. No one else in my opinion.

nWo was poorly booked. They SHOULD have had a lot of members because the nWo's goal was to take over WCW and professional wrestling itself. You can't do that with just Hogan, Hall, Nash, Giant, Syxx, etc.. You need an army of wrestlers for that.
But the constant flip flopping of members was its undoing

A good faction is made of memebers who all served a purpose. Other then Hogan, Hall and Nash nobody in the NWO served a purpose. |

I agree (thus the "poorly booked" statement I made). nWo should have been the largest faction in professional wrestling where EVERY member was meaningful and had a purpose. As it's been pointed out, it was far from that. |

My NWO would have been the Big 3 Hall, Nash, Hogan and Eric B. That's it, I think that is all it needed. It left Giant, Savage, Sting, Luger as WCW guys heel or face and gave them all a common enemy.

Everyone besides Bischoff. It should've been Hogan, Hall, Nash, and Bischoff.

I still believe that the Giant should have been the last member to join. He should have gotten the WCW title runs, not Hogan. Also, The NWO angle shouldn't have lasted more than a year. The splinter groups were horrendous.

I never subscribed to the idea that the NWO needed jobbers like Vincent to be the fall guys when they needed the WCW faction to look good. The Horsemen didn't have any jobbers back in the early years, they were just more careful to make sure when they jobbed, it meant something. Granted, the Horsemen (except for maybe Flair) were probably more agreeable to jobbing than the top NWO guys were, but that's how it should have been.
Personally, I'd have stuck with Hogan, Hall, Nash, Syxx and DiBiase for about 18 months, then maybe injected some fresh blood at that point. No WCW guys unless they made great sense (maybe Steiner, maybe Bagwell). And no guys who are only there to job, because that convolutes the group. Let the main guys job, only less often and in more impactful situations. It should get the opponent more over, and it should be scripted so that the NWO star doing the job retains his stature (or has a reasonable shot at revenge).

I stand by my statement that Hennig,Savage,Steiner and Bagwell were a good fit for them.

I think the nWo should've been Hall, Nash, Hogan, Syxx, Steiner, Bischoff, and Konnan. With those seven you have the World Heavyweight Champion with Hogan, the Tag-Team Champions with Nash and Hall, the Cruiserweight Champion with Syxx, the United States Champion with Steiner, the TV Champion with Konnan, and the mouthpiece/manager with Bischoff.
I for the life of me can't remember what WCW's relationship was with AAA during this time but I believe it would have been really cool if Konnan competed in AAA and formed nWo Mexico. They could have came up and feuded with the top WCW cruiserweights and it could have created another When Worlds Collide PPV.

Konnan was originally supposed to lead LWO. I have always assumed that. Not because it would be an obvious choice, but because back when WCW sold toy cars the La Parka and Eddie Guerrero cars had Konnan's picture on the back of them with the LWO logo beside him. I always thought it was weird but if he was infact suppose to lead the LWO then it makes sense. |

Which is why it was good that guys like Steiner, Vincent, Bagwell, and I guess Savage were in it, it added depth to the group. To who mentioned NWO Mexico, they also had NWO Japan which had Muta, Chono, and Scott Norton |
