Nash and Austin are both in great shape for their age. Some of their counterparts have not aged too well.

Was a great ride. I am glad it was Hogan and not Lex.It all fell apart though when they mocked the Horsemen and there was no retaliation. I knew right then they had jumped the shark |

It fell apart because they added too many fucking members. Everyone and their brother became NWO. It should have been 3-4 guys max |

It should have been 3-4 guys max I wouldn't go quite that far, but it stopped making sense when they started adding WCW lifers like Marcus Bagwell and Konnan. It only should have been talent associated with "up north": Hogan, Hall, Nash, Waltman, DiBiase, Hennig, Savage, maybe Mike Rotunda if you needed an extra worker but he was as much old-line NWA as WWF (same with Big Bubba/Bossman). Bischoff was the only justifiable WCW guy because you needed an explanation for how they got away with it all along. Masahiro Chono was at one point in the NWO.

The best smark rumor on the playground was that the backup plan was King Mabel. That would have sent shockwaves through the wrestling world for sure. |

It should have been 3-4 guys max Bischoff has said on his podcast the long term plan was to make Thunder an NWO only show. Which is why they had so many members. Obviously that never happened but he made it sound like they were trying to do what the WWE does now with Raw and Smackdown being separate. |

We've been hearing that for years (or that nWo Nitro would be the edgier show on TNT and the more traditional WCW would stay on TBS and syndication), but the premise never made any sense. What was the NWO going to do? wrestle itself? I know that there was a push to acquire more talent for Thunder that would, if not be a separate brand as we know it today, have a core of guys who would be more associated with that night, kind of how the Saturday Night circuit that pretty much just ran little barns around north Georgia had its core of guys. Bret Hart was brought in with the idea that he would be the "star of Thunder." (The stars of WCWSN were just guys like Bobby Eaton, Mike Enos, and DANGER!HIGHVOLTAGE!.) |

Austin got all his aging done at once and pretty much looks the same. Nash is off the juice and looks like he's wasting away, which is to say he looks like a normal old tall guy. |

And Hogan Hall and Nash didn't wrestle that much. They'd come out for a promo at the beginning then have their guys jump people at the end. Too many career jobbers as part of the clique too. Second best Heel turn was Hennig's "my spot" "your spot" segment. I also hated it because I was a huge Horseman fan as a kid and really looked at his addition as they're big comeback. They also didn't have NWO job out nearly enough for me. I guess because Hogan had say so over story line. What made the Horseman such a great storyline was that they would job out from time to time. Guys would get clean pins against Flair some of the time.. They didn't always aid and assist with every match. With NWO you always knew they were coming at some point which became utterly predictable after awhile. |
