IF you had to make another nWo, or nWo-like stable, who would you include?

[Mr. Nerfect]

I'm not asking whether or not this is a good idea, because most people believe that it's not. Rather, what I'm asking is if the WWE came up to you with a million dollars and said "Look, we want you to form a new version of the nWo, whether they use that name or choose a new one is up to you, you can choose all the variables," what would you suggest?

I'm curious to see what people come up with.

[Xero]

ECW.

[Savio]

yeah ECW

[thedamndest]

Do I get the million dollars first or what?

[Slow]

Gangrel, Edge & Christian.

[Gerard]

Hornswoggle, max mini, that little fat bull midget and the one that impersonated the undertaker a couple of years back

FEAR THEM :eek: VC 4 life

[Anybody Thrilla]

that little fat bull midget

El Torito, or as it translates, 'The Little Bull'.

As far as the nWo thing, I'd have Triple H lead it (to give it a sense of importance), and maybe throw in...fuck, I don't know. One man stable, I guess.

[Savio]

I remember the mini division

[Heros Welcome]

Randy Orton and Edge as the leaders; both being world champions still

Umaga: The monster role. Being sent at people that Orton and Edge feel like sending him at.

Cade and Murdoch to represent the tag division.

Jamie Noble to be the US/IC contender

Beth Phionex to be..well to be what she is now.

Obviously Edge and Noble are on SD! but as we all know anyone can show up anywhere now a days, so the group would be on all shows and causing all kinds of problems for many different people. The different people that they pick and choose to feud with can then form an alliance and it would all culminate at Survivor Series.

[Indifferent Clox]

They really need a stable to run around on all the shows and eventually end the brand split, The announcers could put it over like " DEAR GOD WHY THE FUCK ARE THEY ON THIS SHOW? THEY SHOULDN"T GOD DAMN BE HERE! THOSE FUCKING ASSHOLES!!! BAHGOD! SCALDED DOG! JIBBA JABBA! THEOOOOOOO"

of course without all the foul language, but you get my point!

[Indifferent Clox]

The announcer in my head is Bill Cosby in a Cowboy hat with a moustache.

[Indifferent Clox]

Rep for a decent photoshop of that.

[BigDaddyCool]

The nWo can't be recreated. And anything tries to would reek of being a copy. The nWo, was based around the kliq, Hogan and his cronies, and odd taggers on.

Also, to me a stable needs an element of truth. By that I mean, the guys in the stable actually need to be tight with one another and have a goal. nWo originally worked because Hall and Nash are tight, and Hall, Nash, and Hogan were all about holding their spots.

The 4 Horsemen work because Flair and Arn best of friends. DX worked because they were/are good friends.

[Anybody Thrilla]

A new nWo would probably almost have to come from TNA to be even nearly effective, and even still, it wouldn't be as surreal to see TNA stars on WWE TV as it was to see WWF guys in WCW at the time, especially considering their best stars all came from WWE in the first place.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

I wouldn't recreate the NWO... I really don't think there's anyone big enough to ever make that kind of an impact. I mean, MAYBE if you had Samoa Joe and Homicide, pull the "outsider" act, have Brock make a surprise comeback, and then have Cena play the Hogan role... MAYBE. Very doubtful though.

I would recreate a "Raven's Flock" type group, and do it with the AotF. I'd have Umaga break character one day and show up with them as well. He'd never talk, he'd just be an enforcer. Even have other wrestlers call him Jamal when they try to talk to him, to figure out what's going on. Put that Delaney kid in as a whipping boy (ala LODI)...

I didn't ask whether or not it could be recreated, I asked if you had to attempt, and assuming it was life and death, which guys would you use. I agree with you that it will not be reduplicated, and that the theory about stables needing to be close in real life to really be effective and not feel thrown together. I do think that there will be another massive stable one day, that will at least rival the nWo, though.

Thank you to the people who treated this seriously, by the way. Rep coming your way.

Personally, I wouldn't call them the nWo, because that carries the old stigma. John Cena would be the perfect Hulk Hogan role. Have him return, FU a top babyface, and claim that he was on the shelf and he sorted his priorities out: 1. Him 2. Him 3. His allies 4. Everyone else.

I think Eric Bischoff would be a good glue for the group. He's always been "the enemy" in WWE storylines, and it'd be easy to get a group under his control over as "cancer" to the WWE. It's not exactly like the owner of the company tries to inject some poison, as this one does have an outside source.

One idea I am set on, is Eddie Fatu dropping the Umaga gimmick, and aligning with this group. The Samoan savage gimmick has grown on a lot of people, but it is still somewhat of an anachronism. To a degree, it always sort of was. They've never been that successful. Fatu has the kayfabe past with Bischoff, as one of his henchmen, and spitting on the gimmick gives Fatu a legit reason to turn on the WWE.

So John Cena and Eddie Fatu are a must for my stable. Cena as the main star, and Fatu probably as the third man. I think the stable would work best with another main eventer wrapped up in it. Fatu is really borderline, and the gimmick change would upset things a little. Personally, I'd go with Mr. Kennedy as the third member. He's over, getting some momentum, but continuing dropping it, and would just be the right personality to align himself with Bischoff, I think.

I would love to see Umaga heading up a Samoan equivalent to the Nation of Domination. None of them would have the Samoan Savage gimmick. I guess they would be more like 3 Minute Warning/Filthy Animals. Don't know who else could go in it though.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Samoa Joe, Cocky Siaki, and Toa from American Gladiators.

Aja, Jr. perhaps? If only Sonny Siaki was still under WWE contract. He could come up and imitate The Rock as part of the stable.

Why not just make it an islander gimmick? Umaga, Carlito, Afa, Jr., Eric Perez, Eddie Colon and Kofi Kingston would be an entertaining batch.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

John Cena
Big Show
RVD
Shelton Benjamin

Make Cena turn on somebody like Jeff Hardy or something and have RVD go back to the dickhead role he had back in the day in ECW.

[Indifferent Clox]

I wanna see a Jeff Hardy Heel turn one day, wherein he cuts his hair and goes corporate, joining Cena, Triple H, and Orton.. or something.

[Mr. Nerfect]

John Cena
Big Show
RVD
Shelton Benjamin

Make Cena turn on somebody like Jeff Hardy or something and have RVD go back to the dickhead role he had back in the day in ECW.

Actually, RVD would not be a bad choice for a major stable. Assuming they can sign him.

I would love some kind of Wellness policy stable. Honestly. Apparently Vince McMahon believes the heat has died down, so I can see him using Wellness in storylines. You just have some guys get fired in kayfabe (whilst making it look real), for violating the Wellness policy for a third time. I think Mr. Kennedy and Umaga would be good for this, Umaga dropping the savage gimmick. He can maybe call himself Eddie Fatu, and use "The End" as a moniker.

They attack people on all three brands (because as Indifferent Clox believes, the brand split should not be obeyed by a stable trying to gain supreme dominance). They challenge Vince and say that the Superstars want to kick their ass now that they've been doing run-ins, so he might as well re-sign them, and let them get their ass kicked legally. Vince agrees, and Kennedy and Eddie Fatu are back in the WWE for two years.

Kennedy and Fatu then find an ally in Rob Van Dam, who believes he should be able to smoke whatever he wants, and then John Cena turns on the WWE guys, aligning with Kennedy, Fatu and RVD, which would come as a shocker, because he is what they protest against (certain guys getting released whereas certain guys juice and get rewarded). Their stable slogan can be something simple like "All is not well."
