What is the greatest wresting faction of all time? Let us know in the comments!

[@andysadler6432]

Dangerous Alliance in WCW prob. no weak links

[@johnboydojo]

*The Dungeon of DOOM!!* 😂

[@jerrymarshall5965]

Hardly the greatest of all time

[@zartan215]

The Four Horsemen (Ric, Tully, Arn and Barry).

[@MFD00MTR33]

Should have been 5-6 guys tops. Hogan, Nash, Hall, Syxx, Steiner and maybe Giant or Konnan. You have your main eventer, tag team, bump guy, rising star and a heavy. Thats it.

[@seanmcclure]

Hulk was the reason for the chopped up promos. In the first ones you can see him cackling and acting like an 80’s heel.

[@ericdravenX00X]

Scott Hall would put over guys when Eric would tell him to go out there and Squach the Lower Level Guys or Jobber Enhancement Talent he wasnt supposed too but he did anyway.. If it entertained the fans he did it, thats what he was about.. Listen to the Fans Man!

[@unclecreed2986]

Big Show said they kept having him join so they wouldn't have to lose to him.

[@TojuRacing-440]

Eric sure does great interviews these days. Good chat here!

[@fhutch3736]

Can anyone name every single member of the nWo? Including when they went to WWE?

[@glennross85]

Probably not because there was also an official Japanese NWO as well.

[@NewEnglandInSeattle]

It was cool at first, then got ridiculous.

[@armandoemanuelle7815]

That Nash and Hall impressions killed me 🤣

[@Mollikar]

Should never have been more than 3 members.

[@wizzerwiser2056]

An alternate 4th member to switch things up.

[@clintsaines9274]

They took over the whole show from start to finish. They even had some of the ppvs named after them. They spay painted the belt and made a joke of wrestling.

[@iTubeYourDadsMinge]

@@clintsaines9274 ONE PPV named after them; Souled Out 1997. Do you even know that there was also a WWF PPV called ‘In Your House: D-Generation X’? Get a clue lad.

[@ZamboniZone]

Max 5 no more than that

[@glennross85]

4 is the magic number, a main eventer, a tag team and a mid carder.

[@clintsaines9274]

Eric and the cronies were living through the nwo gimmick. It was all about them

[@stevedave8891]

nWo pay off should have been Hogan's nWo Hollywood vs Nash's nWo Wolfpac, after having that feud between them both for a few months then the entire nWo thing should have been phased out.

[@chadarcher13]

always said it should've culminated in a WarGames match between the two factions; loser disbands

[@Juggalo94]

Hogan, Hall, Nash, Syxx, & Steiner that’s it

[@emhuisman]

Eric B sounds like he’s sloshed.

[@DeegoL9]

I always remember the roster from WCW World Tour and thought that was the perfect amount of nWo. Hogan, Nash, Hall, Syxx, Giant, Macho, Norton, Bagwell, Konnan, Dibiase, Hennig, Steiner.

[@TherealHazlett]

Hurt Scott’s character, like the drunk gimmick

[@TojuRacing-440]

HATED that drunk Gimmick. Scott is one of my all time faves.

[@josereyes1148]

Eric needs other things to talk about. He's answered this question 100 times.

[@robertormond2629]

It got too big, too dominate, and went on way too long.

[@clintsaines9274]

I didn't like the idea from the start.

[@malikamadou3433]

The whole concept of the NWO was a supergroup that would eventually take over & become its own organization seperate from mainstream WCW. How would you make that believable with only three guys? It needed more members in order to be seen a credible threat. Plus, the paranoia & mistrust amongst the WCW guys of who could be a defector was a major theme that made the story work as well as it did. Sting's crow gimmick came from his feeling of betrayal after being accused of betrayal by his best friend, Lex Luger. So when people say the NWO had too many members, that may be true to some extent, but overall, what made it was it was is the idea that you were witnessing a hostile takeover by this rouge organization & that anybody at anytime could become a defector.

[@joshuasteward6097]

They so needed a winner take all ppv to end the NWO.

[@jerryf.coffey2671]

Sleazy E

[@jacobault2264]

Easy e
