What Michaels did wasn't really nWo related, it was more just a message. At the end of the match he looks directly at the hard camera and mouths the words "You want a big boy to play with?" (WCW's catchphrase was "where they big boys play"), and then mocked Hogan's pose. The Hall pose was probably more unintentional as he was just fired up.
Are you sure Michaels was the one you're thinking of as being an nWo member, because he was locked under contract that entire time and was the champ. The longstanding rumor was always that Bret was the one they wanted, but they never actually negotiated. Lex Luger was the first candidate for the role of third man playing off his arrival on the first Nitro to play up that the WWF always had their eye on Nitro from the start, before the decision was made for Hogan to take the role.
