10 Things We Learned From Kevin Nash's 1997 WCW Timeline

10. He Hated The Souled Out Pay-Per-View

Almost as soon as it formed in the Summer of 1996, the New World Order began dominating the WCW product. There was good reason for that, since the faction proved to be undeniably successful, something Eric Bischoff realised quickly. Due to that popularity, the stage was set for an entire pay-per-view banking on the nWo branding.

Kevin Nash was not a fan of the set-up. As soon as the show opened, nWo members were shown bizarrely riding on garbage trucks. This had been taped the night before, in the freezing cold January air of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The show's location also irked Nash.

As the ultra-cool nWo, he believed the show should have been held somewhere more befitting. Las Vegas was a suggestion, but the Five Seasons Center had already been booked in Cedar Rapids.

A 'Miss. nWo' beauty contest was held, but the girls on hand were hardly model material. The whole thing just failed to make the New World Order look cool whatsoever, something Nash didn't enjoy.
