Waltman has burned way too many bridges, much like Hall, everytime they get a chance to shine again, they do something stupid. They don't fit in with WWE's current policies.
You live in a fantasy world. Having a new nWo but with guys like Miz doesn't get them over. In fact, Miz is more over than the nWo right now (not like 1997 vs now, but now vs now). So that's a dumb idea. If anything, the nWo would drag down the Miz.To everyone saying this is an outright terrible idea, stop it. You don't know.
To everyone saying it is the best idea ever, you stop it too. You have no freaking idea where this will go.
And that's my point. There is something kind of awesome about the way they are doing this and you guys are letting a debate about whether or not the hints of it all being an N.W.O. thing, ruin it for you.
There is nothing wrong with combining nostalgia, with ground breaking new material, as long as they are both used to properly compliment each other. As an old wrestling mark who hasn't paid attention to much beyond some random TNA, Ken Anderson, and of course C.M. Punk for the last few years, I finally have been given something that doesn't cater to the younger A.D.D., Jersey Shore crowd, in wrestling.
Would it suck if they brought back the N.W.O. to have Hogan, Hall, and Nash run around in wheelchairs pretending to know what's cool? Of course it would.
But if you could use this idea. This idea with built in nostalgia and recognition, to build up guys like Punk, Miz, Truth, etc... I really don't see anything wrong with that.
And if they do follow through with the hints they've been throwing out there (Especially the weirdo crap John Cena's been implying about being in the main even all the time) and turn him heel, and suddenly lets say some bizarre version of the NWO forms (keep Vince out of this, make this the new generation, he'd just ruin it. Also he knows nothing of subtly.) with John Cena at the head, Nash and Hall as advisors/cronies, miz/truth, endorsed by an evil kliq HHH and Michaels.
You could then bring in all of Punk's ROH guys and get them oh so very, very, over, in a short amount of time. You'd also have an excuse to ride the nostalgia train till Wrestlemania 28, with actual suprise, never thought I'd see him again, wrestlers.
There is nothing wrong with this, if it's booked properly. If it's booked with its focus (not its intention, as we all know the worst things in the world are done with the best intentions) on using an established, easily over stable (more of a concept really), to get a bunch of young guys over (and turn Cena heel, and therefore less annoying) would be really awesome.

That is because you are brain dead, but it's ok. I blame bad breeding.
Did it now?

WWE brought it in and it was dead on arrival. TNA tried to copy it and found similar success (ie: none at all). Do you have one valid point in any of this?

And, officially, it wouldn't be the third time. There was the nWo Japan (2nd time), the Wolfpac (3rd time), nWo elite (4th time), nWo 2000 (5th time), WWEnWo (6th time), and The Band (7th time). It's ok; as I stated earlier I forgive you for not knowing any better (and not knowing how to count).
Because there are hot stars on the market ready to make a jump? And the fans haven't had the same style storylines shoved down their throats long enough to leave them jaded to episodes like this? Wow, I must be out of touch.
And as he has been since forever ago, minus his quick Royal Rumble appearance.
Um, excuse me? Outsider coming in? Want to explain that one?
Because Scott Hall is totally in shape to do anything on national television. I mean, only last year he was....wearing sweats and looking out of shape. Grade A material right there, book it.
As for Waltman, LULZ. Sean Waltman's only use to any wrestling promotion is as a backstage agent. A show of hands for who wants to see a Bronco Buster? Thought so.
Abyss is a real name? Sting running around as a second hand, half rate Heath Ledger Joker is reality based? GET OUT!
LULZ. Did you live under power lines as a child?
Sting? Sting? Really? I mean, after months of him expressing why he would never sign with WWE for any stretch of time? I thought you said this was reality based? This is bad fantasy booking at best.
You are such a fan boy I don't know whether to laugh or...no, scratch that, I'm just gonna keep laughing.
Sting? Really? REALLY? And you even have thought this out enough to try and connect the storyline dots and everything. How cute.
I think it's clear by now how reliable your logic is.
Because in an age where fans are crying out for new stars to be made, the best idea you can come up with is to drown them all out for the sake of a piss poor angle based off of storylines from 10 years ago with folk who for the most part have no place being in any wrestling ring. Psst. If people want to watch old ass storylines like this, they can pull up old ass Nitro or Raw episodes on the internet. Who in their right mind would want to watch this kind of crap in 2011? Oh, nevermind. I suppose it would be NO ONE in their right mind.
Good drama? *snicker* Yeah, that's a good one. Let's build up all year to The Rock headlining Wrestlemania, and then swap it out for yet another nWo angle. Yeah. Money, fer shure.
Oh, don't show any restraint now. I love how that's the line for you. I suppose you think that shows that you aren't going full ****** at the moment.
And while you're at it, why not make SD an nWo-only show? MONEY!
That you need to give yourself an icepick lobotomy.
Because WWE is SOOO worried about TNA. Ha! TNA isn't even a blip on the radar at the moment. WWE doesn't even care about who's in TNA; they look over at ROH and DGate USA for talent these days. Again, though, I suppose I should expect as much from someone who is clearly dying for it to be 1997 all over again.
Yes, we could finally see what would've happen had the powers that be finally just said "fuck it" and stopped trying. Not that they are totally on the ball now, nor have they ever been, but WWE Creative feeling that this shitty idea would sell in 2011 would be the final slap in the face of any self respecting fan the WWE still has.
No, no, no no no no no. WWE hinting at ANYTHING nWo with Nash's choice of music is almost unbearable as it is. nWo made money once and then became cursed to never make money again. The last thing this idea of theirs needs is an idiot like you turning into a child's play land fantasy of Sting joining the nWo and moving the focus from guys like Punk and Miz back to the played out stars of the past (or even non-stars like Waltman).
This is one of the dumbest ideas/threads I have ever read here. It's clear that you must be Sick, James; sick in the head from being dropped to much as a child. Sting may end up in the WWE; in this business I've learned to never say never. However, I'd like to think that even he would see an idea like this as being total garbage.
According to WWE.com, the following is a list of current WWE Superstars that could fit in with a New New World Order. Taking their list, heres how I would utilize these Stars for the returning faction.
Triple H Hollywood Hulk Hogan role, or at least what it should have been. Hogan, in my opinion, should have let Nash hold the World Title. We all knew Hogan was the leader and having Nash hold the World Title instead could have probably extended Hogans career.
John Laurinaitis Eric Bischoff role. I dont think I need to explain this.
Alberto Del Rio WWE Champion. The new centerpiece of the New World Order. I think ADR can pull this off real well and Ricardo Rodriguez could be the new Disciple if you will, in the Brutus Beefcake role.
Mark Henry World Champion. Mark is great, but I think he was always better when he had someone talking for him. Joining the NWO could push him to that next level.
Cody Rhodes Intercontinental Champion. Continuing with his current storyline, Id have Dusty talk him into joining using the old adage of Strength in Numbers.
Zack Ryder United States Champion. Id love to see Ryder in a role that is reminiscent of Scott Hall and Disco Inferno. A little comedy in a serious faction never hurt anybody.
Big Show Tag Team Champion with Ted DiBiase. Lets face it, Show is on the downside of his career. One more run with the NWO could be a great way to end his career. Also, take into consideration the dynamic of being on the same side as the last Superstar to put him on the shelf.
Ted DiBiase Tag Team Champion with Big Show / Million Dollar Champion. Continuing with his current storyline, Id have Ted Sr. talk him into joining using the old adage of Strength in Numbers. Lex Luger, Sting, Scott Hall, Undertaker, Kane, Chris Jericho, and the Miz all worked well with Big Show, and the experience this will give Ted could be very helpful. Okay, I really want him to start using the Million Dollar Belt again. Just carry with you, Ted. Damn!!
Michael Cole Nick Patrick role. The NWO Hype Man, this will ensure Heat for the group on commentary.
3 Raw Stars. 3 Smackdown Stars. 3 WWE Executives / Commentators. 1 "Outsider". I dont know about you, but to me, this line up looks pretty good on paper.
I would not have CM Punk join the group in anyway, whatsoever. It would ruin it all for me. It would be like Stone Cold Steve Austin joining D-Generation X or the Nation of Domination or the Ministry of Darkness or the Corporation or the Corporate Ministry. I wouldnt mind seeing John Cena join, but to me, I think John Cena should be treated the same way as Sting was when it came to the New World Order, not like Hulk Hogan. I'd rather see Cena join the Wolfpac version of the group in the future.
I'm not going to breakdown the whole thing. I'll just say this. It's obvious that you can only see things from your own perspective. If YOU enjoy something then everyone else did too in your mind. The nWo WAS NOT OVER to begin with (obviously, except for mid 1996-Starrcade 1997). Don't give a fuck how much sense you think it made in a storyline, how smart you thought it was, none of that matters. IT WAS NOT OVER. This means it's a bad idea.Oh of all the posts, I like this one the most. You enjoy this, dont you?
Anyway...
let's breakdown your breakdowns...
1. When WWE brought in the nWo it was a good thing for them. See I get the fact that everyone wanted a rush of all the big names in 2001 for The InVasion Angle, but the fact is it worked better as it went. You had an angle that everyone knew was a work anyhow, why didnt it work?
The fact that you had Hogan Nash and Hall, Steiner, Goldberg, etc all not signed at that time, was great, Bischoff too. They were more feul for WWE to add to the fire of their programming at a later time and it worked where it needed to.
Bischoff's handshake and hug segment with and after an introduction by Vince was well done, despite what you think, it was great. Just as Hogan coming back in 2002 when he could still go well, was great.
People are stupid for thinking returns are always a bad idea. Fans were popping for the nWo and loved The Rock vs Hogan build and match as well as everything the nWo did leading into that all the way up to HBK joining when it was he, Nash, Show and Booker T.
The fucking angle made sense and makes people look stupid when they say otherwise. Vince said the words "I'M GONNA KILL IT!! ...WHAT I CREATED!!" before he finished off his statement turning his black chair around to show nWo spray-painted in white.
If you all claim the nWo was so bad, and since it was a factor that killed WCW, it makes sense from a storyline perspective for Vince to have brought them in and the three man original incarnation wasnt overplayed, yet played out as long as it needed to before the new one was made and then that eventually ceased. Nothing wrong with that, it didnt kill business, it made more business and merch to sell and ppl loved that these guys were back where they hadnt been in a long time.
The few on the internet dont make up the many and even half of the IWC arent stuck on the same bullshit brand of iCrack that everyone in the IWC seems to be smoking.
2. As for the number of times, I'm not counting anything outside America, I'm talking about THE nWo, not bWo mimicry or any other kind or the different incarnations in WCW, WCW's nWo was one nWo, there were different kinds, okay, but the basic nWo angle ran and had some forks in the road. The redo was in WWE and then in TNA was their attempt to BRING IT BACK dumbass not split it off into another sect. Thus this would be the third time it was brought back, the original PLANNED three as well, back in black and white.
3. The point about Nash using his real name is he was brought back as Diesel, well him using his real name is the first time in a long time in WWE, and they just up and did it out of nowhere since his Rumble return, I'm only tying this to The Reality Era, it just makes it better that he's using his real name not Diesel.
4. Do I really have to explain Sting being an outsider? Again they could have him be revealed as The Anonymous Raw GM, after all, this whole thing stopped since Nash came in. Sting is the greatest wrestler to never wrestle in WWE, he could play up on why he never came in, and maybe WWE could just play the nWo card on Bischoff. Not because they need it, but just because they can. Everything doesnt need a payoff to the likes you want, this has its own payoffs, but at the same time, would just be funny to see Vince do this and throwing it in Bischoff's face. Him actually making it BOMB on purpose would be even funnier to watch. It's a subtle slap in the face.
5. Some ppl got this thread, like with other things you didnt get... who said Hall had to wrestle? The guy could come back in a meaningful way. You cant just shit all over him as if he cant do anything.
6. With this one you really showed how stupid you are. No I'm not talking about TNA, I was quoting Bischoff from a DVD where he talks on the events of The Monday Night Wars, then, yes, he said he wanted WCW to be real, he was going to do things real, while they were more cartoonish. Now recently, yes, Hogan said he wants TNA to get real, but no, WCW was what I was referring to and WWE is in The Reality Era, it doesnt apply to TNA really. TNA doesnt even know what era its in.
7. Again, you shouldve known better. Sting saying he wont come back doesnt mean anything. I feel like I did in all those posts over the past 7 years explaining to ppl how The Rock didnt leave WWE forever, how he would wrestle again, how it was a set up thing from the first Cena comment, how Vince is smart and knows money when he sees it and needs to hold things off for the right moment when he needs those money matches for later Manias and such. Sting applies to the "Never Say Never" rule.
Any fan who really thinks Sting signing is not a possibility is lying to themselves and a complete idiot. I mean Never Say Never has been proven in big ways in more than one way throughout the past decade. Bischoff signing with WWE, Bret coming back, Sable came back, Savage was about to come back, I always had a feeling, but was evident, WWE was gearing up for it, putting him in All-Stars and making action figures and he was on that promotional video, it was about to blow up and you could see a Vince/Savage Mania match in the works, but unfortunately, he died. You dont have to believe that, but I didnt need the hints to tell me it was coming.
8. You critique me trying to make sense of a storyline proposal, yet I'm crazy and you'd criticise an unthought through storyline in a minute, well you dont make money like Vince does and he has stories with finishes and with some kind of endgame pre-thought out. It's not being a fanboy it's fucking logic to bring something to the table that works and show how. It could be a better shocker than most obvious Raw GM choices. And that is shocking, as much as you all think he wont come to WWE, the ratings would peak.
And no one said have it overshadow Rock, it wont anyhow, but you can do multiple big stories leading into WrestleMania.
9. Your opinion doesnt count for the world, yet it's the typical way most ignorant IWC guys think. You know, you cant shit on the nWo angle and not praise it at all. It was just as good as it was eventually bad, it was more good than bad though, it ultimately was the shot that caused WWE to have to fire back with Attitude and we the fans got treated, stop being a dumbass, and acting as if that wasnt the best time to be a wrestling fan when competition brought out the best in both companies.
10. Once again you try to speak on behalf of everyone's opinions with the icepick comment, you know ppl happen to love seeing old stuff again, and the generation today can see what they missed. Anytime someone or something great comes back it's good. nWo only show, you brought that up and that is stupid, wtf? I know what you're trying to refer to, but the way you brought it up makes it sound stupid and defeats the purpose of my proposal to bring it back. The only reason I even want the nWo back is using Sting would be a great move for WWE on a personal level.
Also you cant build the stars of tomorrow without the stars of today. Stop whining about older stars taking up spotlight, it's inaccurate, you need guys to put younger ones over. It doesnt even have to be via a match all the time.
11. Who said WWE was worried about TNA? I said it would be nice for them to stick it to Bischoff specifically in his face on a personal level and show him via their programming that they made the idea WCW didnt go along with work, what's so wrong with that? I'd like to see the What If of had Sting been the third man, glad Hogan was, but still. What Ifs are a hot topic in wrestling threads and discussion a lot anyhow.
12. And lastly, Sting wont take the focus off Punk, Miz or anyone else, it'll do nothing but boost ratings bringing stars of the future more attention and fans to hold onto and keep them interested in the show for years to come. It's not an uncommon thing in this business for older guys to put over younger guys or to use older guys' returns as a way to draw viewers.
Why are you acting as if its a sour move when it only benefits the stars you cry out for for no reason? It's stupid. Cena beating Rock will be bigger than any win he's ever had, and the match that will really solidify Cena as an icon.
Cena, as over as he is, needs The Rock. He really does, he never had that real passing of the torch, HHH and Shawn were nice bouts, but you can feel it when those special moments happen, this is it, WrestleMania 28.
And okay, it's a backtrack on your part from it being fantasy based that Sting will come to WWE after wrestlers have always said the opposite of what they end up doing and wouldnt be dumb enough to say where they are debuting or returning in cases like this, but atleast you saved yourself there, the never say never rule.
I'm not going to breakdown the whole thing. I'll just say this. It's obvious that you can only see things from your own perspective. If YOU enjoy something then everyone else did too in your mind. The nWo WAS NOT OVER to begin with (obviously, except for mid 1996-Starrcade 1997). Don't give a fuck how much sense you think it made in a storyline, how smart you thought it was, none of that matters. IT WAS NOT OVER. This means it's a bad idea.
start thinking from a business/outside perspective and not "I want to see this". You won't metaphorically get your rectum prolapsed by guys like the one you quoted.
