Was the NWO angle the best storyline ever?

[Kris P Lettus]

I watched the NWO documentary on netflix last night and started thinking that it might just be the greatest wrestling angle in history. Two huge names, both former champions, show up on Nitro, the night after they were on a WWE PPV. Bischoff was brilliant in leading us the fans on to the fact that Vince had sent them to destroy WCW. "WCW! Where the big boys play! Well, we're not here to PLAY!"

Then, at Bash at the Beach in 96, everyone thought the Ousiders were gonna get destroyed by Luger, Sting, and Savage, but the opposite happened. Hall and Nash dominated only to have Hogan appear to a HUGE pop. Hogan marches down there, Hall and Nash clear out, and you think Hogan is gonna help his fallen brother Macho Man. BOOM oldskool legdrop right on Savages beard.

All the fallout with others joining, the awesome production of the black and white vignettes (they shot them like that to chop up Hogan's oldskool WWF style promos, to match them to Hall and Nash's freash, more shoot style promos), the simplicity of the shirts and logo, the fake gang signs, everything.

Everything about it was awesome.

So, was the NWO angle the best in prowrestling history.

I'd say yes.
