Happy Birthday nWo!

[NoChanceInHell]

15 years ago today at the Bash at the Beach Hulk Hogan traded in the red and yellow to join up with Scott Hall and Kevin Nash and create the greatest faction in Wrestling History. The nWo dominated the scene for a long time. Resurfaced for a run in the WWE as well.

Happy Birthday nWo and thanks for the memories.

What was your favorite nWo moment?

 

[The Death Rattle]

I think their official birth ranks as my personal favorite moment. So many times an angle shows tremendous promise, only to have the payoff be a let down. The "third man" being Hogan was such a shocker, even today. It was such a great way to show that the group had legs and would be allowed to run with the ball. I was fans of Hall and Nash as Razor Ramon and Diesel. Add in the bonus of seeing wrestling's top babyface turn heel was just the icing on the cake. I was a teenager at the time, and the nWo gave such an anti-establishment vibe that I like many were sucked in. Even Hogan's speech had so much "realism" with his references to the "organization up north". Easily one of the biggest moments in wrestling history.
