Worst of the nWo - WCW Blunder (Final Episode)

It's the final episode of WCW Blunder ever! Season 2 wraps up with the very worst of the nWo, from bad members (such as Horace Hogan, The Disciple and Michael Wallstreet) to bad moments such as the infamous Fingerpoke of Doom, nWo Souled Out and nWo Nitro.
The New World Order were a powerful faction within pro wrestling, they did a lot of great things in terms of evolving the pro wrestling business, they made it cool to cheer the bad guys and they helped WCW destroy the WWF in the weekly television ratings, but it wasn't ALL good... not by a long shot.

The Disciple character did do one thing great and that is convince me of the transformative power of a beard. I wasn't the brightest middle schooler but it still took way longer than you'd think for me to be convinced that was the same guy I'd seen acting like a barber lol

[@jimmyplenderleith9471]

Gotta give the Beefer credit...he got in really good shape for that Disciple run.

[@HDKG-SiF]

I still think it wasn't beefer but a beef-lite replacement cuz beef was off chasing Missy Hyatt around

[@ricstormwolf]

I was considerably older, and I knew immediately it was Beefer the Buffoon.

[@JokersVsZombies]

I didnt realize it until they said it on air and i double-taked so hard

[@Matt_Barkley]

I remember it took me a bit to figure out who it was. The beard and slimmer face made him look just different enough to throw me off.

[@charliebrownnz1]

I'm nearing the end of my battle with cancer - was hoping to see the end of the reliving the war which doesn't seem to be possible, however this is a good consolation price, i've enjoyed wcw blunder. Thanks for all the fun.

[@HereForAStorm]

You're going to be around for a long time brother, you got this.

[@DeezScotts2023]

Keep your head up, brother, and keep fighting. Glad to have been on this same Reliving the War journey with you all these years.

Keep fighting homie

Keep fighting!!

Prayers and stay strong brother. You can do this

[@robstuart8474]

Look, I know you say this is the last WCW episode, but hear me out here. WCW Blunder: David Flair.

[@RKStrikerJK5]

Don't be that cruel! 😅😅

[@teemdeep2060]

Wcw blunder:Nepotism

[@DebitAdams]

That would be too long and would need its own series.

[@Morbos1000]

I'm not buying that this is really the end of WCW Blunder. I suspect he comes back to it in a year or two after doing WWF for a while.

[@KB-qk1ic]

He gave David Flair a lot of attention just doing the regular Monday night war vids. Might just be overkill to do a whole episode on him

[@Del_S]

Don't cry because it's over. Cry because it happened in the first place.

[@TheLandofObscusion]

One last bonus Blunder Point: The Lack of Any Proper Finish. I can understand the hope to keep the nWo around for as long as possible, but the simple fact that Eric Bischoff never had a contingency plan in mind that would bring an end to the entire thing in case of an emergency is just insane. Hell, the original 1996-1999 run technically did have a "finale", of sorts, when Hulk Hogan want back to the red & yellow and defeated Kevin Nash in a retirement match at Road Wild 1999... yet the nWo B-Team continued to exist for another few weeks or so after that show, despite them literally having no leadership, showing how WCW refused to just let the faction die before finally just giving up & moving on. At least, they did give up for a couple of months before Vince Russo started his all-too-subtle build up of nWo 2000, which itself didn't have a proper finish due to the Great Reset. And then there was the WWE's version of the nWo, which ALSO didn't have a proper finish!

[@skyatollah2skyharder276]

Bischoff's storylines never had a coherent ending even when it was smacking him in the face. Look at how long he dragged out Hall vs Nash and Rick vs Scott. Even Wolfpac vs Hollywood. Dragged out and no satisfying conclusion to any of them.

[@roberttaylor7032]

The nWo was truly 4-life!!! You simply couldn't kill it 😂

[@GarrettS-eb5ow]

​@@skyatollah2skyharder276I agree with you VERY MUCH on those 3 things! Those three things are what I wanted to see more than anything...

[@jeremywilliams5141]

The New World Order in WWE in 2002 deserves at least a blunder point if not an entire blunder episode. Hulk Hogan eventually turned face after his Wrestlemania X8 match against The Rock; Scott Hall had a lackluster match against Steve Austin at the same show and would get fired after the infamous Plane Ride from Hell in which he was intoxicated (his addictions were well-known at the time); and Kevin Nash got injured not once but twice. Sure this was in WWE but the nWo was a WCW concept and WCW was already purchased by WWE.

[@BOABModels]

"I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me, and it'll happen to you, too." nWo talking to D-Generation X, probably.

[@Rydonattelo]

I appreciate a fairly obscure Abe Simpsons reference at any moment.

[@AlexThorn]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@mitch3384]

The first, longest running and worst mistake for the NWO was making the DQ finish the signature. You just know that 2-3 times a night, including the end, Face is winning, Heel screws him, Face comes back, NWO swarms. It should have been an occasional tool, not the de facto ending to their matches.

[@rahowherox1177]

Yep, nothing ruins wrestling more than predictability and over done repetition. Takes the excitement right out of it. Like watching sport when you already know the results.

[@fordid42]

The Bloodline wore this into the ground, too.

[@benespinosa6725]

The NWO having their own PPV was a good idea in theory but it was poorly executed really enjoyed the WCW blunder series great stuff as always.

[@Venemofthe888]

I honestly think it was too soon to even do since they werent even a year into their run at the time

[@blackfoxx86]

Extra Blunder Point: Dusty Rhodes in the nWo

[@roccojamison89gooker51]

Can we give a Blunder Point to Dave Meltzer?

[@TheBat1992]

Farewell wcw blunder you were an amazing show to have fun and laugh at the blunders you made during your time during these 2 seasons thank you for the blunders WCW

[@Rydonattelo]

WCW became Hogan and his sycophants getting paid.

[@NcWcN1]

Hogan, his sycophants... and according to _The Death Of WCW_ , some 240-odd wrestlers by the beginning of 2000. Can't recall the exact figure and I don't want to dig for the book 😅

[@18t32]

nWo 2000 was a sad end to one of the greatest factions of all time

[@Beepbooplk]

But the silver!

[@jacksmith-mu3ee]

Greatest faction ? 😂😂😂😂

[@MikeEdwards-kj4dh]

Greatest lol

[@polarbear138]

I liked it when it first came together but then people were getting injured or fired left and right lol then we were left with the trio of Jarrett (who I like) and some nazis 👎

[@NexusFantismo]

Technically it wasn't the end, because it was brought back to WWE later on....Having HBK superkick Booker T out of the group was the sad end to the NwO

[@tysoncarpenter8628]

[@BainesMkII]

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it" is fine right up until something breaks *because* you never bothered to fix it, and what could have been avoided with preventative maintenance might even end up beyond meaningful salvage.

[@WrexsolToob]

David Flair is the key to all this. If we could... you know... get him working. He'd be a funnier character than all the ones we had before.

[@AzFYouTube]

Would love to see one for either WWE or TNA. Maybe “RAW is Blunder” or “The Blunder Zone.” But with better titles. I’ve been a wrestling fan for a long time. But your channel has really made me look at things differently. Also I have season 1 downloaded to my phone for the sole purpose of rewatching the episodes when on a flight or if the power is out.

[@Eviltwin531]

David Flair's negative-coolness should really be studied. It's almost impressive how many layers of attempted coolness they tried to apply to him... nWo affiliation, the absolutely stunning bombshell Torrie Wilson hanging off his arm, everything... and he STILL managed to look like a total dweeb, especially since his father just had charisma radiating off him. Just... how?

[@MrMp190]

I blame those rosy cheeks of his, and his mouth always being slightly open.

[@josephnicolino8529]

David Flair wouldn't be cool if he was naked in Minneapolis Minnesota in February. And this is coming from the biggest dork you'll ever meet

[@woobgamer5210]

the real question is, how is David Flair the only good Flar as a person? (Ric being... trashy for decades, Charloette being a primadonna already, Reed... having done hard drugs), Davi Flair meanwhile, is jus a person.

[@anthonys6479]

[@AltimaMantoid]

Thanks for the WCW Blunder series! It's been cool to see all sorts of varying things from the company that really didn't work. Hopefully you'll come back to this series one day, and even if not it's been a fantastic series!

[@lukelee7967]

They should have "ignored" Disco Inferno more as a member. Have Hogan, Nash, Hall, and Disco in the ring. Hogan's got the mic "Us three guys" Disco shouts "four guys!".

[@josephnicolino8529]

Disco and Vincent as a tag team, what do you think?

[@rahowherox1177]

Lol. And could say something like ... yeah, us 3 men and Disco.

[@m.i.smooth810]

Disco could actually wrestle , I guess Hall could 15yrs prior then you have the leglift and leg drop by hogan and Nash it's all they could do

[@didymus3348]

Buff turning Babyface in 98 wouldn't have worked as well since he wasn't cleared to wrestle for a year. All he could do was cheerlead for the good guys.

[@unclecreed2986]

The Warrior gimmick could have been a perfect ending to the NWO you could have had him kidnap the Disciple and turn him back to Brutus Beefcake then had him kidnap other members and turn them back to their orginal gimmicks not wearing the nwo colors anymore. The One Warrior Nation taking the NWO piece by piece.

[@ninowaves4061]

No that would of been a blunder

[@MrSirMang]

Warrior being part of the WCW was a blunder in any fashion they would have used him.

[@erisi236]

The times where NWO was such a huge group that every time they'd come out for a promo it would look like the entrance of a World War 3 60 man battle royal match didn't help

[@stewartfennell8926]

Can't believe it's the last WCW blunder. Thank you so much, it was a great series.

[@Copaganda101]

I was at Finger Poke Of Doom. It ABSOLUTELY KILLED THE TOWN!! Atlanta, their hometown. It might not have ruined WCW, but WCW never had any more events at The GA Dome. The previous Atl event, was Goldberg beating Hogan. I was at that one too, were 40k+ left happy & excited, fast forward to Finger Poke of Doom, were the entire crowd left upset with the product, not the angle..went from all cheers, to all boos & hate from atl,.so still a big fk up on their part!

[@kaieastwood3373]

They did one last Georgia Dome show in the summer of 99, but still, the paid attendance was half of the January show.

[@Copaganda101]

@kaieastwood3373 You're right, they did 1 last show, with half the amount of the crowd. I had attended all the Atlanta shows, maybe I lost interest in going by that point. I was still WCW til the very end, as that's what I grew up on, & always hoped they'd turn it around. Even though it was hard to watch at times towards the end.

[@MichaelSpikes-pv6kl]

Great video

[@DaveFromVh1]

Brutus actually looked cool as disciple. Horrible character, but looked cool (for Brutus)

[@jameskingsley4265]

Probably his best look

[@HereForAStorm]

I had no idea it was him until Warrior asked Hogan if that was his barber lol

[@NoneofYabiz-rx3zi]

He definitely put in lots of work and took whatever Rude used to take to look as shredded as he did

[@BigBadJerryRogers]

If they would have just brought him into WCW with this biker type of character from the beginning he probably would have fared better than the goofs he played instead

[@SatanSquad]

[@chloeirnes]

As a huge WCW fan and someone who still hasn't forgiven the nWo for ruining so many matches that were otherwise classics, thank you so much for S1 and S2 of Blunder. Apart from your ongoing battles with Thunder in Paradise, this has been my favorite series! Thanks for the hard work!

[@DeathsNitemareShepardOfHope]

Thank You for everything you do to make this channel work. I will be forever grateful for the hours and hours of entertainment and revived memories from a much belived time in this world. I will stick around and watch anything this channel produces. Even if it gets to the point of updating past wrester based videos that were made before Reliving The Raw Nitro War was started. I slightly dread the day that series ends to be honest. I wouldn't be opposed to covering the Invasion Angle afterwards. 😅👍

I was young enough to still be a full on mark when Buff got hurt, but his promo with the neck brace was so good that I thought he was going to be one of the “good guys” now. To be fair, the only adult that told me wrestling was fake also said it was done with computers, and ironically I was smart enough to know that wasn’t possible yet.

[@Wolfdogg]

I was strictly a WWF guy back in the day, but I can appreciate the comment that the Fingerpoke of Doom being the exact moment when WCW died is a bit overblown. What I find really interesting is that people don't just say that the moment when the writing was on the wall happened after... but there are even some that say it happened way earlier. Starrcade 1998 seems to be a common consensus for the moment that truly killed WCW.

[@AmazingGuy13]

The Giant and the nWo is definitely a good example

[@Kar_mageddon]

I love this vid. I still am on the side of finger poke of shame, though. It left such a sour taste in fans' mouths and it played a major role in the fall of WCW. It was not the coup de grace, just a really really shitty thing that nobody could forgive which, in part, made it impossible to right the ship ever again. nWo would have remained amazing without the addition of so many bland members

[@thisisnotachannel]

Whomever thought that Jeff Jarrett would work in the nWo should never have been allowed anywhere near creative ever again!

[@Ragan31687]

Well that’s Vince Russo most likely

[@ryankeefe2102]

[@jvharbin8337]

The whole Hogan head thing was Based on the Movie Se7en. Brad Pit does the same thing at the end of that movie. It was a popular movie at the time and I guess Hogan wanted to Lampoon Pits acting by acting over the top. That's my benefit of the doubt anyways. LoL. 😂😂😂

Finger poke was a red alert rather than death knell moment in my view. Mid 1999 is when WWF went into overdrive with its Presentation and left WCW in its wake. I always feel like BATB 2000 was the point of no return for WCW. Can't wait for you to cover it in RTW in a few months time.

The Disciple was cool man, watching it at the time in the UK, my friend and I who watched Nitro every Friday had no idea it was Brutus, when the Warrior said he was Hogan's barber that was electric. The way the nWo wasted Scott Norton was criminal, I also thought Horace had potential.

I remember hearing a rumor in 2006 that DDP was gonna be in the NWO Hollywood as a Heel, just to win the WCW World Heavyweight Title. Then he was gonna be a Mole with the sole purpose on making sure NWO Hollywood lost all title matches (Champion & Challenger). Also I'd love to see a video on the NWO in WWE, from the Vince Poison Line to the Fall Apart of it.

[@theblindgod666]

This is BS. You mean to tell me the whole New Blood angle where they dropped blood on someone from the ceiling and oftentimes missed..that is not a blunder?

[@LostChrisB]

The DQ finish or otherwise endless inference is a hallmark of a heel stable, but theirs a fine line between getting heat and killing interest in your heel champions match because you know what’s going to happen. I remember Randy Orton’s run with Legacy, every week the same match, an initial back and forth, Randy would get the upper hand for a while and then the baby face would fight back, look to be on the brink of winning and out would come Cody and Ted to save Orton from a lose, rinse and repeat. I stopped caring very quickly for a lot of his championship run.

[@shaneramey]

I kind of wish Warrior would have stuck around a while just to see how big of a push Ed Leslie would have gotten in the OWN. Also it would have been fun to see who else might have joined the faction.

[@barryjames73]

Eric had a great idea with the NWO but had no clue what to do with it after it started which is why the WCW ultimately folded.

I'm sorry but the WCW just always sucked to me. I remember when I would go to my granny's they would flip back and forth from WWF to WCW and I would hate when they switched it. I just always thought it was a second-rate wrestling show and in hindsight it really was. They had a good one to two years stretch that was it. And unfortunately they had so much more potential because it was basically the WWF with a different name.
