Richie Freebird Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 All I know is whoever's in there better throw away the razors sharpish. As brilliantly highlighted in Ian's post the other week, nWo cool was all about the facial hair, and the thought of Miz's smooth baby face disgracing a stable that once housed Scott Hall's 5.00 shadow and Hogan and Steiner's two-tone beards makes me want to be sick. Â I fully agree. Â No long hair, beards or sunglasses? Get to fuck. Red leather is an optional extra. Â Who out of the current roster actually meets this criterion? I suppose Henry could grab a pair of shades and want in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted September 2, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted September 2, 2011 ANY proper wrestling fan will mark out if they bring back the nWo. I went mental any time they decided to bring it back. Even if a few weeks later the grim reality sets in, that it's not up to snuff. Â The Miz can fuck off though, he looks too much like a wee boy playing a lawyer to be part of the nWo. Beards and leather jackets or GTFO.

NEWM Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 This would be brilliant I think. To the extent where you could pretty much slot certain people in to certain roles from how WCW did it and it would work all over again. Punk, for example would be just fine as a contemporary Sting type that refuses to pick a side for ages before finally going full face. And in what would pretty much made for him, The Miz would be a fucking class DDP. I'm pretty sure a well executed face turn would make The Miz a bonefide topliner, just like it did Page for a bit too. Â I reckon Vince still hates the nWo from when he couldn't make it work though, so it's never going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is one of the funnier things about Vince though, his absolute inability to give the nWo any credit because it was better than a lot of the shit he has put out (and nicked).

AndyUK Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 It would be interesting to see again but for me, the nWo really isn't the nWo without Hogan and Hall joining Nash so I don't know if I'd like a new version or not. New versions of tag teams and stables are generally crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buba3d Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 pretty sure i heard there was going to be another nWo dvd made, so maybe it might just happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Fatty Facesitter Posted September 2, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted September 2, 2011 At the end of the day it's all about these: $$$$ Â If the nWo brand would still sell T-Shirts and other merch, then of course they'll probably go for it. But for it to actually work as effectively as possible, it would have to be treated with extreme caution. Otherwise it'll just die off like the Nexus stuff did. Â Also, it should be used as a vehicle where the other guys are put over more than Nash. Nothing against Nash and I'm not one of those who immediately dismiss the old timers as dinosaurs who should move over for the new blood, but Nash won't be wrestling as often. As a figurehead he'd be immense, but his fellow members would need to get just as much coverage, if not more so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deepex Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I did think that the storyline was heading for a klick feud with HHH, HBK, Nash and Waltman... cant see Hall ever coming back. I guess a new NWO with Nash, Miz and Truth would be interesting. Maybe with Cena doing the Hogan role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members DJ Kris Posted September 2, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted September 2, 2011 Until Trips loses his cool even more..and we end up with NWO vs corporate powered DX...or an NWO backed by John Larainitis and Steph and Vince facing off C.O.O powered DXÂ ..Hmmmm maybe it IS time that some new ideas were developed for storylines DAMN! Â Cena could do a Hogan and join. Hogan was the biggest name around, when he joined, Cena is the biggest name around now. That leaves Punk and HHH to form the uneasy alliance. The Cena things a good shout but I think people will see it coming a mile off! What they should do is set it up so people think Cena's gonna do a Hogan, then swerve and have Undertaker do it instead!

Â I think Orton is absolutely tailor made for a modern-nWo style role. He'd slot into it easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members DJ Kris Posted September 2, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted September 2, 2011 Undertaker? I think that's one of the worst choices they could make. Why? He's a major face, someone you wouldn't expect, the kinda guy you'd expect to be WWE all the way and fight their corner. It's all about the shock value like it was with Hogan. Cena would be too much like a remake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sooner would he be back on our screens and then he'd be gone again after a couple of matches and the whole thing would die on it's arse. It has to be someone like Orton, someone contemporary but with enough name power to make the most of such an angle and really run with it. Orton's also got the history with HHH, which would further cement his place in such an angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, Undertaker's history with Vince makes him a prime candidate too. He isn't at the stage in his career where a heel turn would do him good though. Orton's probably turned too recently. Â Bring back Batista! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
