The Rise And Fall Of The nWo

[@Trever713]

NWO went from "lighting the fire" in wrestling to "that's still burning?"

[@PopeyeBjj86]

Fucking hell 🤣🤣🤣 like "yo that dumpsters still burning you know"

[@bigsavv2479]

@@PopeyeBjj86 It’s still is they rebranded themselves

[@secondbest2877]

It doesn’t seem like they had much a plan for it. I understand they wanted to allocate NITRO to NWO but what was the overall plan? Turn everyone NWO?

[@one-wingedangel5107]

Sounds like Dark Souls. The nWo, like the age of Fire, should've ended rather than extended to the point everyone was miserable

[@DJDoubleCee]

The group wasn’t as interesting anymore once Hogan left.

[@chinonoelmoreno]

Scott Hall invading nitro still gives me goosebumps. He looked like a fucking badass cutting that promo. "You want a war? You're gonna get one''.

Some twat did a wcpw video. It's was full of errors and I think it got took down.

[@DFTLewis]

Rise and fall of ECW please!

[@llynellyn]

*One major thing that was missed:* The NWO was the first faction in history to hold the world titles of TWO major promotions at the same time, with Hogan and Muta holding the WCW World Title and the IWGP Heavyweight championship respectively. This was even more impressive as these weren't just big promotions but the second and third most important titles on the planet (behind the WWF title), a feat of this magnitude has never been achieved since.

[@chadarcher13]

one could argue that the WCW title was actually the most important title at that point

[@SMC01ful]

Yes, but this feat was overshadowed by their fantabulous collapse. An incredible feat, unto itself.

[@pumpkinking5397]

If Hulk Hogan never join the NWO, it never would have been as big as it was. His heel turn was the biggest one in wrestling history. The fans were literally throwing garbage into the ring. Anyone saying otherwise is honestly lying to themselves.

[@Braylon1997]

Hogan joining the group was a breath of fresh air

[@Patch778]

I know, right? It was so fresh and new when it happened!

[@Patch778]

I don't know if you mean when they had first joined up, or you are being sarcastic

[@TankHardcheese]

Starrcade '97 really was the beginning of the end. A year of buildup and they STILL shat the bed.

[@soraiagil19]

The Rise and Fall of Bullet Club Is a good one, I think

[@volodymyrbilyk555]

Not really a fall but slide into irrelevance. New Japan suffers from factions for sake of factions. Chaos is still around although they mean nothing ever since Nakamura left. What was the endgame for Los ingobernables? Suzuki-gun is still kinda sorta, but they did nothing with it for ages. As for BC - Kenny's run overexposed it and then Jay was rushed into position and by the time he figured it out- no one cared - and that Evil thing was quite a jump the shark

[@Rockinrolla21]

Always happy for more Ross in my life

[@Trialwolf]

Sounds like Ross doesn't give a shit through the whole video... and I loved every minute of it.

[@DefeatedInk]

[@nocontextpoppapump]

You should do the rise and fall of All Japan Pro Wrestling. They were big in the 80’s and 90’s and were up there with NJPW for the biggest promotion in Japan. But after Baba died, it seems they’ve basically died too.

[@volodymyrbilyk555]

They bounced back with Mutoh a year after the exodus and had mostly solid 00s until Mutoh went back to New Japan to put over Tanahashi. Then they managed to fuck things up again in 2013 with wrestle-1 exodus but they are still around and kicking

[@JuliusC1973]

At the very least All Japan Pro Wrestling was at least the equal of New Japan Pro Wrestling and were better than The WWWF/WWF/WWE during the 1970's. 1980's and 1990's. Their Wrestling Style was more like The Best NWA Promotions: Very Athletic and Very Physical. After Losing so many Wrestlers to other Promotions over the last 20 Years. I would rank New Japan Pro Wrestling, Pro Wrestling NOAH and Dragon Gate above them now.

[@volodymyrbilyk555]

@@JuliusC1973 Noah was built on All Japan tradition and it is quite interesting to compare the transformation of the aesthetic. However, they had a hard time keeping it together after Misawa had died and old guard went away. Funnily enough, just like Mutoh saved All Japan in the 00s, he is now helping Noah to get through.

[@JuliusC1973]

@@volodymyrbilyk555 Yes, Misawa was a huge lost.

[@volodymyrbilyk555]

@@JuliusC1973 it was his own undoing - Noah was overreliant on him and Kobashi and it wasn't like next generation were drawing as well. In the end - the man just couldn't hang it up when you should.

[@alexanderasher3461]

I’m pretty sure the NWO Hogan vs NWO Wolfpac was brought to its pinnacle when Sting joined the Pac. Only went downhill after.

[@rudyrosasjl]

When the NWO split into two factions that was the beginning of the end. It defeated the purpose of why NWO existed in the first place. Not to mention, Sting and Lex Luger joining the red & black. That was just dumb that babyfaces joined.

[@nikkipayton4078]

I really like this concept a lot! I'm interested to see what other topics you cover! I'd love to see an episode on the flash in the pan that was Dragon Gate USA :'(

[@volodymyrbilyk555]

[@britneyspearsvillarosa]

@@volodymyrbilyk555 WWE was actually punishing Hogan, Nash and Hall for leaving WWF for WCW in 1994 Hogan, Savage in 1995 and 1996 Hall and Nash. When they came back to WWE.

[@britneyspearsvillarosa]

DX(Shawn Micheals, Triple H ,Rick Rude before Chyna joined later in 1997) was way better than the nWo to me. AND IF YOU'RE DOWN WITH THAT ...... WE'VE GOT TWO WORDS FOR YA... SUCK IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@steve_jackson9933]

I am not sure I would call the NWO one of the greatest stables/factions in wrestling. Yes, they were influential, but great, no. Why? They had Virgil, Brutus Beefcake, Horace Hogan in it, those names alone toss it out of any great category. When it was Hall, Nash and Hogan, it was at its peak, but after that, the NWO went downhill.

[@thebigbear4696]

I don't think Louie Spicolli was ever an official nWo member. He was kind of Scott Hall's "young boy" that did his bidding without ever actually being inducted. If he hadn't tragically passed away he probably would have been a member but he died before that happened. If I recall correctly.

[@chadarcher13]

yeah, I only ever remember him wearing an Outsider's shirt and basically being Scott Halls personal assistant; similar to Disco Inferno a year later
