Guys, you got to think big.
This is not nWold, this is a re-imagining of the nWo, or a passing of the torch. Kevin Nash showed he's still a big player, he would get the nWo rolling as a mouth piece and like a "minority" leader.
If I were to use an analogy, I'd use horror movies. Freddy, Jason and Michael Myers are the king of main stream horror movies. That's why I can't stand when you see a movie of their's come out and it says something like "Last Chapter, the Final Fight etc."
Freddy, Jason and Michael Myer's movie franchises should never end. Whether it's 1980, 1995, 2010, or 2025, there will always be a place for Jason Voorhees in cinema.
Whether the mask has to be passed on or w/e, the brand needs to continue.
This is kind of how I feel about nWo. nWo was so good as a stable, that it should not just disappear. If a number of people put their heads together, they could come up with an awesome story where they could incorporate nWo back into the fray and anything that has ever been nWo, would be free reign.
"The Following Announcement is paid for by the New World Order" would be heard as the tron/promo skit came on and you see a couple of nWo members (Alex Riley, John Morrison and Mason Ryan) talking about faces like Kofi and Chris Masters.
We've seen now Nexus help Kane vs Undertaker and New Nexus help The Miz against Orton.
The Miz/Riley/Cole seem to have a connection with Nexus along with the GM, this is not the nWo your use too, but imagine if Miz, Riley, Cole, GM, Punk and Nexus were known as nWo? They had the power, and the title (as nWo the goal would be too get both world titles and it's even better now a days, you could try and get all 8-10 titles etc.)
Btw, I'm not a huge nWo mark, just as a business move I think nWo had great merchandise, attitude, could be around in pg era ...
the whole idea and way they went about things was so marketable.
You are reaching too far. That will not happen. Not only that, that is not the reason they would bring it back. You really think that would be the reasoning for Nash to return? LOL
To have a Stable with all of them and have it revolve around power and the titles and what not, would be great. But, why call it NWO? Also, what connection would it have with Nash returning and all that?
It truly has no solid connection or storyline to me, at all.
I also disagree about the movie franchise of those particular characters should not end.
Michael Myers, for instance. Halloween has run it's course. It and he, have been remade, re-birthed, relocated, re-cast, and really re-run, among many other "re" words or phrases.
Same thing goes for NWO and Nash. I think the freshest thing would be to leave the NWO out of it. They did it back in 02 and not only tried to restart it, with the original 3. But also tried to "freshen it up" by having other members join and expand. But that was a fail as well.
I think the best things for Nash would be to feud with a couple people to capture a little of his past encounters, and also step into the ring with big stars of today that he has not got in the ring with before.
The newer guys like Orton, Cena, Punk, Sheamus, Barrett, Edge, and Del Rio would add to his legacy and also theirs.
Other guys he could catch some heat with, that he has a past with, are Triple H, Undertaker, Big Show, and Jericho. In a way, there is unfinished business with all those guys. I'm sure there are much more too, but those examples will do.
Also, guys could be brought in randomly that might have some history with him and could continue, or start a feud, that has some relevance. Goldberg, Sting etc...
So, I think there are numerous ways to use Kevin Nash without the NWO being at the forefront of the story, or his feud. After all, he was a WWF/E Champion before the NWO was even conceived. So he does have a legacy and career beyond those 3 letters that were spray painted on foes' chests in the mid to late 90's, and even a few more times in the new millennium.
What helps the future of the name, New World Order or NWO, and also the legacy and legitimacy of their existence, from their origins, would be to not tarnish what it was, or IS, right now.
Nash can be relevant and make some sort of impact and start his march to the HOF, without NWO.
God knows, when he gets in, we will be NWO'd to death. So, right now I could do without another attempt to recreate the impact of July 7th, 1996.
Any way at all that they go about calling something "The NWO", would be a lie to the first letter in their name. N... NEW? It would be anything but NEW and even if it gained some steam right at the beginning, it would eventually dive back down to being a joke. Or a watered down idea that has WHAT? Run it's course.
EDIT: Also, note how the crowd really chanted for him. It was pretty insane and probably somewhat unexpected. I think if creative or whoever is in charge, knew that he would pull that kind of reaction, he would have been booked to stay in the match longer and probably eliminate a couple guys. But, my main point on this EDIT was to simply state that the crowd wasn't chanting "NWO" or even "Nash"... They were chanting his gimmick, though WWE had other guys play a fake version on occasion (Notably Glenn Jacobs, AKA Kane), it was last played by him in 1996 and was strictly his WWF/E persona... They chanted "Diesel"!!!!!!!!
