Honestly, if you just put out Reliving the War weekly you'd be nailing it. But these supplemental features are ALWAYS engaging and I love being surprised whenever they pop up. Thank you!
Never thought about “Syxx” being the 6th member of the NWO. Pretty cool. I always thought it was a reference to the sum of 123. I guess it can work for both.
I loved Sting in the Wolfpac. Even when it didn't seem to fit his style. The ring attire, the red black face paint, longer hair. He looked like he was having the time of his life.
I agree 100%, the nWo Elite stuff was the faction’s point of no return. The Wolfpac/Hollywood split was exactly what the nWo needed to breathe new life into it, but instead we got a year of mediocre booking, an insane few months with Ultimate Warrior, and the world’s worst “LOL, PSYCHE!” swerve ending.

I actually have a chronological Austin vs McMahon compilation on VHS in my closet from the tape trading days. Haven't watched it in years. A RUclips version would excite my 16 year inner child
Eric Bischoff said on an episode of 83 Weeks that Sean Waltman’s name was “Syxx” because “1+2+3=6” - because he was formally known as the 123 Kid. Not because he was the sixth member of the faction.
Man what a Hell of a walk down Memory lane.! Seriously THANK YOU for doing this. I feel like I'm 17 again watching all this again lol. Hopefully you do one for the LWO too down the line. Shouldn't be as long as this lol
It's hard to believe that Alex Wright wasn't ever a member. I mean, if I were hand picking only the best wrestlers for my "organization " I sure wouldn't leave out Alex.
I met Macho Man, Sting, Buff Bagwell and Dennis Rodman at a nightclub in Newport Beach Ca back in 1997. I was a massive NWO fan at the time so I was completely floored and star struck. Everyone was super cool.
The bWo, lWo, the Band, Bullet Club, and all the other groups that were inspired by or associated with the nWo could have their own video. It would be interesting to examine that aspect of the nWo's influence in wrestling
Seconding this, especially a video on the Bullet Club, because I tried watching a doc on how it spun off from nWo Japan and just got horribly confused. All I know is that a bunch of guys attached to AEW now are/were part of it.
The NWO at most should have been seven members. Hogan, Hall, Nash, then Savage as the 4th member helping Hogan win the title. NWO not attacking the Giant for multiple weeks, then he joins them makes more sense, than what he did out of the blue after Hog Wild. Syxx Pack and Ted DiBiase as the manager. Overall Lucky #7 for the entire group.
I'd also have added a woman, like Madusa, so then you can have the faction hold EVERY belt at one point, makes the faction feel like a big enough threat if there's a presence in every division.
@@ArchangelSteve I would agree with Madusa, if Ted being manager is not really counted, since he wouldn't really be physically active. Just like J.J. Dillion was part of the 4 Horsemen, but technically a 5th member.
I agree I’d say WWE had it right in limiting numbers in factions but the Corporation, Corporate Ministry , McMahon/Helmsley regieme and Alliance all seemed to have over 30 members at one point
Wrestling Bios and Markyd123 are my favorite go to channels. I really appreciate their channels aren't copy and paste like other channels. Worst are the big channels that use Clickbait now and they have a huge following while Wrestling Bios and Markyd123 deserve it more IMHO.
Big issue I always has was that the Macho Man was too big to not be the leader of any group he was in, but was never the leader - so he always just felt a little off in all nwo iterations.
They made it work for a bit. Like him and Hogan had certain promos where it seemed like hogan and savage were going to face flair and piper eventually. Also was perfect for former wwf guys and make them elite.
I can tell that NWO and peak WCW was definitely your favourite era in wrestling and you hold it close to your heart because of the videos you have released and like you said it was very important and in my opinion such a shame that it had to come to an end I don’t think Bishoff ever got over it and wanted it to last forever. Vince ruined it when they came over to WWF the invasion angle could of been best storyline of all time but he never done them justice or WCW again such a shame!
Can’t blame Vince for things out of his control like Hall relapsing or Nash getting injured or Hogan being cheered. All things (outside of Halls relapse) most couldn’t see coming so why expect Vince to see it. Of the three only Hulk was still in ring shape and able to go.
It's hard to like someone who always wanted to be someone he wasn't, in this case, his friend Hulk Hogan. Down to the blonde hair and leather hide tan as The Disciple.
It’s so weird watching this and realizing how many of these legends are no longer with us. Randy Savage, Curt Henning, Rick Rude, Dusty Rhoades, and Scott Hall are some of the top of my head. Huge part of my childhood.
Am I the only person who enjoyed tf out of Wolfpac Sting?? To me dude legit never looked happier in the ring. Dude was smiling harder than he did as Surfer Sting 😅 he genuinely seemed to enjoy his time in the pack. And tbh the Wolfpac should have never joined back with the black and white. Wolfpac had waaayy more potential and could probably even still be going to this day imo anyway. WOLFPAC IN DA HOUUUUUUUSE 🤘🏻
Great video, a lot of “fans” need to watch this. Nothing irks me more than people seeing Hollywood with the red & black within Elite and referred to him as being in Wolfpack, even with Hall even tho he wasn’t fully in it. I would say you should’ve covered what the different with Wölfpac & Wolfpack were but everything else was spot on.
For some reason my brain just never accepted Randy Savage in the nWo. He should have been WCW til the end. I've said this before and I'll say it again, Randy Savage in the nWo was the equivalent of Austin joining DX on the other channel; although some people may disagree.
I started watching Smackdown around the time nWo came there and was immediately a fan. We did not have WWF or WCW showing in Finland in the 90's, so when they referenced the history of nWo in the storylines, it subsequently became part of the nWo "mythology" in our schoolyard discussions. The nWo went the way of the dodo not soon after, but i'm glad i at least saw the end of it. Also glad i was part of the second coming of Hulkamania when Hogan started wearing red and yellow again. Good times, good times.
FOR REAL! YOU ARE KILLING IT with these videos! Your knowledge and production skills have EASILY made your videos, my FAVORITE WRESTLING videos on RUclips. THANK YOU SIR, for your hours of entertainment
This was a great video. I missed out on a lot of the original NWO as I was still on dialysis in '96 and got my transplant in '97 .... by the time I started watching WCW I didn't know what the hell was going on. Though it got tiring real quick for me. Been watching wrestling a long time when it was actually good, and I understand the upset rule that fans absolutely dispise today but it got a little overboard with the NWO pretty much running the show, interfering in main events EVERYTIME and the whole thing was spiraling out of control before they even knew it.
Can I just say this because it never gets mentioned. Hollywood Hogan had an awesome action figure. That figure was one of my more favorite to play with. Whether I was into Hollywood Hogan at the time didn't matter it was such a cool fun fluid figure to play with. You could really execute a lot of good moves with that figure.
I always appreciate your work. I’m an artist and work at least 12 hours per day and many days I’ll put your channel on and listen. Really helps make the day better. Keep it up and thanks for your work.
I’d like to see more attention called to when the Elite Wolfpac fell apart, and the Stevie Ray led incarnation of the nWo stuck around. They were kind of just there, and you’re wondering why they were even bothering at that point.
What’s insane is when the nWo was brought to the WWE, the plan was for Triple H to join the nWo, so that The Kliq could reunite as part of the nWo. Sadly, this story was scrapped before that could happen, but man, that would have been awesome.
Great video and breakdown! Your attention to details with wrestling and it’s stories are much appreciated. I wish nWo was nothing but former WWE/WWF employees. Once they started having the WCW guys join I felt it did a disservice to the story. Still the greatest faction ever in my belief for all they accomplished and changed.
@@AzulQueso yeah that was the point. From a interview on RUclips he said that Eric was going to give him a big contract to be a enforce but Vergil came in and said he would do the same thing for significantly less money. He essentially screwed the godfather out of a big contract at the time and screwed him self by taking a huge pay cut to get the job
@@curtailedbike4123 no one ever claimed Virgil/Vincent was a smart guy look at where he's at now lol 😂 at least we ended up getting godfather and the nation of domination run hall of Fame induction still
Is channel along with a few other wrestling channels are one of my favorites to watch.. there's barely any bias and it's just great play-by-play kind of stuff..
Instant like. This is the kind of video I want to see! Thank you! For contex I’m 30. So I was a very little kid when all this happened. But I remember my older brother watching WCW around the late 90’s. I became a big fan of wrestling immediately. But after wwe had already died. I was a hardcore fan probably early 2000’s to this very day
Actually Dibiase's reason for leaving was because Bischoff took over his role as the spokesman he never had a problem standing side by side with Hogan as the manager.
Ive been watching Reliving The War since episode 10. I don’t like or watch modern wrestling (not hating just saying) but I haven’t missed a vid/post from you since. Long story short, you’re the man and you created a great series (including the PPV reviews). You’ve definitely gotten a lot better since you started the series!!! Keep up the good work brother!
NASCAR driver Kyle Petty raced the #49 NWO car in late 1996 and 1997 sporadically for (Dan) Shaver Motorsports. In such a small team, however, Petty had little success outside of a 4th place at Talladega Superspeedway in '97.
My favorite wrestling stable was the nWo Wolfpac. Sting pretended to join nWo Hollywood and then swerved them by attacking Hogan and The Giant. It's one of my favorite wrestling moments of all time.
I know you probably don't follow NJPW too much but there for a while after Muta joined the group, Keiji Muto still wouldn't join the group for a few months which created a pretty interesting dynamic where Muto was NJPW but Muta was nWo.
Dope video explaining all this! Mannnn my head started to hurt with all the different versions lol . I still think this the best faction ever created in wrestling history. It's just sad how it fell off over those years.
I became pro-wrestling fan in May 2002, I missed WCW, ECW and NWO. I still remember how Hulk Hogan won every match in June and July of 2002 Smackdown!. Then in August Hulkster lost match to Brock Lesnar and it wasn't PPV, it was Smackdown!
The nWo vs Sting is probably the best storyline wcw ever had! The whole will he or wont he join Hogan. taking on the whole faction in ring before their eventual clash that saw Sting take the title. It was class
Very thorough/accurate video, great job. I get leaving out Kyle Petty since he didn't do anything of note storyline-wise. The one thing that everyone seems to overlook though is that Mark 'Slick' Johnson was a member of the original NWO, not just NWO 2000. He debuted at World War 3 '98 as Scott Steiner's personal referee, and stayed with he and Buff continuously until 1/11/99, as best I can tell, since he was injured. I don't think he ever had a name in that span, but was a Bill Alfonso ripoff, always blowing a whistle. Also Nick Patrick cemented his overt heel turn at Starrcade '96 in the Giant/Luger match, and donned the NWO shirt for the first time the following Nitro.
I watched this live every week as it happened and even I couldn't keep all the factions straight. Eventually around 1999 I gave up and stopped watching and stuck to WWF
nWo didn't last more than 4 years and 3 months total (recent one-off reunions excluded) but it felt much longer than that with all the different factions.
The nWo jumped the shark at the first Souled Out ppv in 1997. Sting carried WCW in 1997 despite only working two matches that year. After they cooled Sting off, Goldberg carried the company through 1998...until he also got cooled off. It's no coincidence that WCW began its rapid decline soon thereafter.
Honestly, if you just put out Reliving the War weekly you'd be nailing it. But these supplemental features are ALWAYS engaging and I love being surprised whenever they pop up. Thank you!
Aff yer knees
Agreed! It's like the excited feeling we got for new episodes of our favorite TV shows back when we were younger. New Wrestling Bios video? Click.
Never thought about “Syxx” being the 6th member of the NWO. Pretty cool. I always thought it was a reference to the sum of 123. I guess it can work for both.

There were so many members at one point I’m pretty sure I was in it
I kinda remember that. I think you were standing in front of me.

I loved Sting in the Wolfpac. Even when it didn't seem to fit his style. The ring attire, the red black face paint, longer hair. He looked like he was having the time of his life.
He was way over in the wolfpack i remember watching it live
Wolfpack Sting and later his Joker Sting, both gimmicks seemed like he was having fun with his character once again. Good to see
Sting in the wolfpac was definitely awesome lol.
Sting in the rafters, then finally coming down was peak WCW.
During the wolfpack years, sting was in the depths of his drug addiction
I agree 100%, the nWo Elite stuff was the faction’s point of no return.

Annoying too as nWo Elite is probably the best lineup they had.
They were scared shitless once they started losing to wrestlers they cast away years ago like Steve Austin, Undertaker, HHH, and Mick Foley.
@@ShaneSpear02 with the exception of Austin, the others were released from WCW well before Bischoff even started working for WCW.
Love the use of the WCW Vs NWO revenge soundtrack. Perfectly captures the time period.

You just can't ignore that bratwurst
NWO needed the greatest dancer of all time. If he had been in NWO, WCW would still be around. No way WWF would've beat out WCW.

You'd have to include so many of the factions in WWE and TNA. It might get to be too girthy of a video.
@@DarthPyrusTheVirus it's not about the girth it's how you use it! but seriously a video series about that wouldn't be too shabby either

This was actually less complicated than I expected when laid out. Thanks.
I always wanted to see a timeline of all the NWO members on youtube, and you did it perfectly! Amazing editing, and a great job as always.

I know you probably don't follow NJPW too much but there for a while after Muta joined the group, Keiji Muto still wouldn't join the group for a few months which created a pretty interesting dynamic where Muto was NJPW but Muta was nWo.
You have the highest quality WWE content in all of RUclips.
Easily one of the best channels on youtube.
Dope video explaining all this! Mannnn my head started to hurt with all the different versions lol . I still think this the best faction ever created in wrestling history. It's just sad how it fell off over those years.
Another great video covering the n.W.o. In today's wrestling, the n.W.o should be appreciated more for their impact in wrestling.
Positive thoughts for Kevin Nash.
"So this is where the big boys play, huh? Look at the adjective: 'play!'." - Kevin Nash

Best wrestling info channel on youtube.
Woooooooo
This was just Too Sweet
Another win for the good guys
thank you for this! Great breakdown of the history!!!
Awesome video! I was waiting for it for so long. Great job!
I became pro-wrestling fan in May 2002, I missed WCW, ECW and NWO. I still remember how Hulk Hogan won every match in June and July of 2002 Smackdown!. Then in August Hulkster lost match to Brock Lesnar and it wasn't PPV, it was Smackdown!
Wolfpack red and black
Wow! Great job... my head is still spinning
I was 14 and this was the heyday of wrestling thank you for the video. Alot of great memories
I always thought Sean Waltman was named Syxx because he was called 1-2-3 Kid in WWF and 1+2+3=6 😅
Lol me too
The nWo vs Sting is probably the best storyline wcw ever had! The whole will he or wont he join Hogan. taking on the whole faction in ring before their eventual clash that saw Sting take the title. It was class
Until they made a mess of the ending of the match at Starrcade 1997. Thanks to Hogan....
mark for wrestling bios here... love to you all
The Wolfpac were great in 1998. I still at some point want to get an nwo wolfpac shirt. I like the wolf logo on red background
amazing video as always. Best channel on RUclips
10 years from now it’s still gonna be talked about because that was good history
I mean its been almost 25 yrs since they were last remotely relevant. Another 10 is not far fetched
Nice video! I hope Kevin Nash is good. Hope he knows we all care for him.
Yes he seemed to struggle cause of personal things..
Very thorough/accurate video, great job. I get leaving out Kyle Petty since he didn't do anything of note storyline-wise. The one thing that everyone seems to overlook though is that Mark 'Slick' Johnson was a member of the original NWO, not just NWO 2000. He debuted at World War 3 '98 as Scott Steiner's personal referee, and stayed with he and Buff continuously until 1/11/99, as best I can tell, since he was injured. I don't think he ever had a name in that span, but was a Bill Alfonso ripoff, always blowing a whistle.
Also Nick Patrick cemented his overt heel turn at Starrcade '96 in the Giant/Luger match, and donned the NWO shirt for the first time the following Nitro.
I watched this live every week as it happened and even I couldn't keep all the factions straight. Eventually around 1999 I gave up and stopped watching and stuck to WWF
We need one of these for the Bullet Club 😤
Great video
RIP Jay Briscoe 🙏
nWo didn't last more than 4 years and 3 months total (recent one-off reunions excluded) but it felt much longer than that with all the different factions.
The nWo jumped the shark at the first Souled Out ppv in 1997. Sting carried WCW in 1997 despite only working two matches that year. After they cooled Sting off, Goldberg carried the company through 1998...until he also got cooled off. It's no coincidence that WCW began its rapid decline soon thereafter.
Both sting & goldberg’s drop offs were result of the nwo
I love this Chanel so much , thank you so much !
Man i hate seeing pictures of Elizabeth with Luger...
Can you do this for the four horsemen?
Disco Inferno was my favourite nWo member
You too? 😁
This is my favorite youtube channel
