I loved Lex Luger at pretty much every point in his career. Lex Express American hero era included.

USA #1 Lex Luger was great. When he body slammed Yokozuna on the 4th of July that was awesome.

The nWo did great things for DDPs career also. That time of will he join, wont he join, oh no hes the lone wolf, holy crap Sting had DDPs back helped him get some real momentum up.

If WCW had put a fullstop on it at Starcade 97 and used the guys it had built and started on the road to stardom who knows where we might be today. Instead they recycled it a million times and it was one of the killers of the WCW brand.

I dunno, before nWo came around would never see any bros in high school or on softball teams or at work ETC ETC ETC wearing any sort of wrestling shirt. nWo changed that. Bros everywhere rocking the nWo shirt. They made it less shameful to be a pro wrestling fan, arguably having a bigger impact on the mainstream acceptance of the "sport" than anything prior. WWE might have eventually won with the Attitude era and Austin etc, but nWo was the catalyst.

It was awesome yes but as I've said before I feel the only way the storyline worked as well as it did was because of Hogan's involvement and the shock value of the ultimate good guy turning bad.

Having Hall and Nash invade as they did was great too and broke new ground but they certainly didn't bring any star power to the storyline or the kind that hogan did and yes the hogan sting buildup to Starrcade was for me apart from the Goldberg streak, one of the highest points of WCW.

However I get the feeling people like Hall and Bischoff never seemed to let go of the NWO storyline and seem to think wrestling started and ended with the NWO which was completely untrue.

Personally I think the best every storyline was Austin v McMahon.

The worst decision was the finger poke of doom and ending goldberg's streak. But that's what happens when you have a retard like Kevin Nash as the chief booker. Then again Goldberg was more than happy to go along with it as were the est of the creative staff so Nash shouldn't be the only one to blame there.


But I stand by what I said, NWO would never have been the success it was if it hadn't been for Hogan. Had they gone with Savage or Sting instead then it would have died an early death.

I thought Nash didn't start booking until after Goldberg's streak ended, like two months later or something.

this x1000. There's no Attitude era, no "boom period" without Hogan turning heel and forming the nWo. The whole thing completely changed the face of pro wrestling.

as people said, if it didn't drag on for too long it would've been, Austin-McMahon was probably the best.

Yeah, I'd still say Austin vs McMahon was the better storyline. I wouldn't use "it changed the face of pro wrestling" as a reason the NWO storyline is the BEST. If you're using that, then Hulk vs Andre wins. There's no NWO without that.

nah not using it as a reason, just restating the importance of it. The only criteria that matters at all in this thread for me is how much I enjoyed it. Also, Rock and Wrestling/Mr. T/Cyndi Lauper/MTV etc was the "boom". WWF was already well on it's way/firing on all cylinders by the time WM III rolled around, we'd have still had the nWo, Austin/McMahon, the Attitude Era. If anything, Hogan/Andre was a big, fat, gigantic slab of icing on the cake, the crowning, the "look at what we did" moment.
