"mean" gene okerlund came to the ring confused, demanding to know where their mystery partner was. they simply said he was in the building, but that they didn't need him right then. shortly into the match, sting hit nash with a stinger splash in the corner. however, nash happened to be holding luger at the time, and the splash knocked nash into luger, thus crushing luger in the corner. luger was knocked to the outside, and paramedics came out and took luger away, reducing the match to hall & nash vs. sting & savage. towards the end of the match, hulk hogan appeared, then shocked wrestling fans worldwide by attacking savage & sting to help hall and nash, with the match ending in a no-decision. in a post-match interview, hogan claimed the reason for the turn was that he was tired of fans that had turned on him. hogan labeled the new faction a "new world order of professional wrestling", and this began a long and bitter feud between wcw and the nwo. during one nitro broadcast from the disney-mgm studios, hall & nash covered up the free-standing wcw logo with 3 spraypainted bedsheets (one to cover up each letter of wcw). when the deed was done, the bedsheets read "nwo" where the wcw logo had once been.it was around this time that the world wrestling federation filed a lawsuit, alleging that the new world order storyline implied that hall & nash were invaders sent by vince mcmahon to destroy wcw, despite the fact that bischoff asked nash point blank on camera at a wcw show "are you employed by the wwf?" to which nash emphatically replied "no". the lawsuit would drag out for several years before being settled out of court. the settlement eventually led to the wwf having the right to bid on the assets of wcw should it ever be offered for sale, which happened in march 2001.at fall brawl 1996, "team nwo" defeated "team wcw" in the "war games" match, cementing their stranglehold on wcw. sting, who was one of wcw's main supporters, grew disgusted at the accusation that he had joined the nwo, and after the war games match, he told wcw to "stick it", and went on a hiatus (rumor was that sting had wrestled all the matches he was required to according to his contract). the nwo debuted an imposter sting (also called nwo sting, bogus sting or "sting" in the wcw vs. nwo: world tour video game) that made the fans think that sting betrayed them. the nwo continued to dominate wcw, and new members soon appeared, including ted dibiase, syxx, and the giant. they even had their own referee, nick patrick. legendary superstar "macho man" randy savage took the lead in the battle against the nwo, but in the end he lost to hogan and disappeared.the odds were too much to bear for wcw, and soon rowdy roddy piper surfaced in wcw to battle old nemesis hulk hogan, who had now dubbed himself "hollywood" hulk hogan. he shocked wcw further by exposing wcw president eric bischoff as the mastermind behind the nwo, one of the reasons the stable had such incredible clout. piper gained a victory over hogan, but could not capture the title. in november 1996, the nwo lost its first member. the giant won the 60-man battle royal at "world war iii," earning a title match against hogan. because the giant insisted on his title shot, he was expelled from the nwo. in january 1997, the nwo made great strides when they held their very own ppv titled souled out. in the main event, hogan faced the giant and defeated him thanks to shady officiating by nick patrick. nash & hall lost their tag titles to the steiner brothers, but the next night, bischoff gave the belts back to the nwo, claiming that randy anderson, who ran in to referee the match after nick patrick was knocked out, was not a sanctioned referee for the event. in february 1997, randy savage returned and shocked wcw by joining the nwo. through 1997, the nwo controlled the power in wcw. wcw scored a major victory on an episode of nitro in august 1997, when lex luger won the title from hogan, despite massive interference from the rest of the nwo. but hogan won the belt back at the 1997 road wild ppv, again benefitting from outside nwo interference. in september 1997, the nwo faced the four horsemen at wargames, gaining the victory when curt hennig turned on his horsemen brethren, by jamming ric flair's head in the door of the steel cage, and joined the nwo. this was essentially the end of the four horsemen until august 1998.after being absent from the ring for over a year, sting returned to action to face hogan at starrcade 1997. this was the most anticipated match in wcw history. it would also be sting's first match in a year and a half.sting vs. hoganfarmer as the nwo stingafter september 1996 the old sting had vanished. later, a new sting began to appear in the rafters at wcw events. this was not the sting of old with sgt. pepper jackets, blonde spiked hair, and an insatiable need to speak. this sting was silent, brooding, and dark. he had a long black trenchcoat, white facepaint making him look like a mime, long wet dark hair, and the white siloutte of a scorpion on his black shirt. he resembled brandon lee in the crow. this new sting would carry a black baseball bat with him, the only weapon he needed other than his own abilities.eventually sting began to assault members of the nwo, including the imposter sting. he also had new ways of getting the drop on his prey, appearing from underneath the ring. sting and the nwo finally clashed on the big stage at uncensored 1997. the main event was a three way team brawl featuring the nwo, wcw, and team piper. after the nwo won sting came down with his baseball bat and laid waste to hall, nash, and the other nwo members. with only hogan left sting raised his baseball bat into the invader's face and then obliterated him. the message was clear: sting wanted to destroy the new world order at it's very core: hogan. wcw's on-camera commissioner, j.j. dillion, was keen to get sting to rejoin the wcw. dillion tried to offer sting a match aganst hennig, but it was clear that sting was after a match against hogan. the stalking did not stop there. the following month dillion was injured in an attack by the nwo, and piper was appointed as wcw's interim commissioner. piper made it his objective to sign free agents sting and raven to wcw, and appointed ddp (who was in the middle of a long-running feud with randy savage) and sting and his allies in his attempt to get even with hogan. sting would appear at arenas, haunting hogan and his henchmen. he would interfere in their matches and assault them if necessary. the mind games came to a head at halloween havoc when in a cage match between hollywood hogan and roddy piper several sting clones appeared around the cage, encasing hogan inside. this distraction along with hogan's fear of sting, cost him the match with piper.following months of build-up, a match between nwo's leader, hollywood hulk hogan, and wcw's guardian, sting, was officially signed for starrcade 1997. this match would be marketed as the ultimate showdown of good vs. evil. starrcade also featured a match between larry zbyzsko (representing wcw) and eric bischoff (representing the nwo) for control of monday nitro. eric bischoff, a couple of weeks prior to the signing of the match, ahd announced in a phone call that he had just signed bret hart, assumably on behalf of the nwo. bischoff had threatened to back out of the match unless a "fair" referee could be found, and thus bret hart added as a special referee. it was in the context of this storyline that the nwo took over the episode of monday nitro prior to the pay-per-view, which became the (somewhat infamous) only episode of nwo monday nitro. hart's loyalty to the nwo was questioned after he fought off an interference from scott hall, and declared zybyzsko the winner.then, in a controversial finish to the match between sting and hogan, referee nick patrick let hogan win with what was supposedly a 'fast count', which led bret hart (technically a referee given the preceeding match) to restart the match, and subsequently proclaim sting the new wcw champion. in spite a rematch the following night on nitro, the title was held up, and hogan and sting fought again at superbrawl 1998, where sting won the title with help from randy savage. for the first time, the nwo was having problems within. savage was having problems with hogan, and the two fought in a cage to settle the difference. savage would defeat sting at spring stampede 1998 to become the "wcw/nwo world heavyweight champion." hogan was angered that another member of the nwo had captured the world title and challenged savage the following night on nitro. in a shocking turn of events hart assisted hogan and helped him recapture the title.nwo wolfpac vs. nwo hollywoodon the may 4, 1998 episode of nitro, wcw announced that nwo had split into two "factions," officially ending the reign of the elite nwo. the two factions were nwo black & white (later nwo hollywood) led by hollywood hulk hogan and eric bischoff; and nwo wolfpac, whose members wore black & red. for a complete listing of faction members, please see the "members" section of this article.during this part of the nwo storyline, wcw wrestlers like goldberg were presented as faces, the nwo wolfpac wrestlers were presented as tweeners, and the nwo hollywood faction as heels. for the remainder of 1998, the two factions struggled for dominance of the new world order, which had co-branded itself with wcw. the nwo wolfpac is considered by many to be one of the most popular and successful face or tweener stables in pro wrestling history.nwo wolfpacthe term "wolfpac" was first used to describe the founding members of the nwo (scott hall and kevin nash) and syxx, all of whom were considered the "core" of the original group (which lasted from june 1996 to april 1998). the "nwo wolfpac" faction itself was headed and created (in storyline) by kevin nash and included nwo co-founder scott hall. hall, along with wolfpac members curt hennig, and rick rude, eventually turned on the group to join nwo hollywood (see below).in june 1998, ex-nwo hollywood member "macho man" randy savage aligned himself with the wolfpac. the group was subsequently joined by other ex-nwo hollywood members konnan and lex luger. the last member to join was the long-time enemy of the original nwo, sting.nwo hollywoodthe "nwo hollywood" or "nwo black & white" (as opposed to the "red and black" wolfpac) faction was headed by hulk hogan and included eric bischoff, brian adams, buff bagwell, miss elizabeth, the giant, the disciple, scott norton, dusty rhodes, dennis rodman, scott steiner, vincent, and referee mark "slick" johnson. as mentioned above, scott hall, curt hennig, and rick rude were originally wolfpac members, but betrayed the group and joined nwo hollywood. stevie ray and horace hogan joined the group as well several months later.at one point it was shown that the members of nwo japan (wrestlers who were also working the nwo gimmick in the new japan pro wrestling organization such as masahiro chono and the great muta) had aligned themselves with nwo hollywood, though subsequently this segment of the faction made only sporadic appearances on wcw television.the "fingerpoke of doom":the two factions battled each other throughout 1998. on july 6, 1998, hogan lost the title to goldberg at the georgia dome in atlanta, and the nwo slowly started to lose focus. it seemed that the nwo had beaten wcw by splitting in two—they had no one left to fight but each other. but splitting in two also destroyed the nwo. they never again had the power that they originally had. by october 1998, hogan left the nwo and went on hiatus. as 1999 started, nash was the wcw champion, and he and hogan conspired a huge nwo comeback in january. the storyline ended on the january 4, 1999 episode of nitro with a now-infamous match in which nash would lay down for hogan, and allowed hogan to pin him after hogan poked nash with his index finger ;a finish that fans nicknamed the "fingerpoke of doom." the nwo reigned again, with the nwo elite (hogan, nash, hall, buff bagwell, scott steiner, lex luger and miss elizabeth) reunited under the wolfpac label, while the undercard wrestlers in the nwo (curt hennig, stevie ray, vincent, horace hogan and brian adams) continued in the "black and white" faction. this short-lived group was sardonically labeled the nwo b-team by fans and commentators.the end of the nwo in wcwby mid 1999, the nwo had disappeared. in late 1999, the nwo came back for one more run as the silver and black, consisting of kevin nash, scott hall, bret hart, jeff jarrett, scott steiner, the harris twins, don and ron, and they even got a new referee, mark "slick" johnson. they brought along several fitness models (tylene buck, april hunter, kim kanner, midajah o'hearn and pamela paulshock) who would come to ringside and jarrett would order them to the back. this nwo lasted into early 2000, but soon faded away, in great part due to the injury and retirement of bret "the hitman" hart, the leader of the group. by this point, not only the nwo, but the entire wcw, had lapsed into what seemed to be an inevitable and permanent decline, constantly bettered by the wwf and relegated to a permanent second-place status, a situation many longtime wcw fans blamed on wcw management having stayed with the nwo storyline for entirely too long. the lead heel group in wcw was eventually replaced by the new blood. in late 2000, the nwo reunited one more time but was quickly forgotten.re-emergence in wwf/wweafter wwe bought wcw in 2001, vince mcmahon brought in hogan, hall, & nash as the nwo, at the no way out ppv on february 17, 2002. coincidentally, no way out's initials are "n.w.o.". in this storyline, the nwo was brought in as mcmahon's allies in an attempt to "kill" the wwf so that mcmahon would not have to share power with new wwf "co-owner" "nature boy" ric flair. however, hogan left the group after he lost his wrestlemania x8 match with the rock and was assaulted after that match by hall & nash. hogan's comeback to the wwf after 8 years had fans cheering him, more than even the rock. as a result, he turned face and began feuding with hall and nash, with the rock at his side. hall & nash brought in two nwo members afterwards, x-pac (formerly known as syxx, who was also a former nwo member whilst in wcw), on march 21, 2002, at smackdown! in ottawa and the big show (formerly known as the giant), on april 22, 2002.the nwo reunion in the wwf would not last long, however. hall was released in may due to drinking problems during a uk tour. flair later became a semi-member of the nwo after turning on "stone cold" steve austin. as owner of raw, flair set up a lumberjack match with austin against the newest member of the nwo, which turned out to be booker t. booker had just finished a silly skit with goldust minutes earlier, where he had been wearing a lumberjack costume and fake beard, all but destroying his "tough" momentum going into the match. nash introduced shawn michaels into the nwo on june 3, 2002. michaels then "kicked" booker out of the nwo (he literally hit booker with his sweet chin music superkick finish) one week later. abruptly, the nwo was disbanded by mcmahon on july 15, 2002, after he regained full control of wwe from ric flair. the final nail in the nwo coffin was x-pac fainting on july 15 before the show and nash tearing a quadricep muscle during a match one week prior to the disbanding, taking him out of action for several months. ironically, the nwo disbanded on the same night that eric bischoff, the man who was often credited for creating the nwo, made his debut in wwe as the general manager of raw. at the time of the nwo's demise, michaels was offering triple h membership in the nwo.memberseach of the following wrestlers have, at some point, been a member of some official incarnation of the new world order:new world order (nwo):*hollywood hogan*kevin nash*scott
