It fell apart because they added too many fucking members. Everyone and their brother became NWO. 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.

It was never going to be Lex. It was always Hogan and Sting was the backup plan if Hogan got cold feet.
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.
