5. That New World Order Formation

Then, this majestic formation.

Hulk Hogan unthinkably turned heel at WCW's Bash At The Beach 1996 pay-per-view. He aligned with 'The Outsiders' Hall and Nash, and told wrestling fans who'd supported his red and yellow crusade for over a full decade to stick it. The nWo was born, and it was awesome.

Scott looked like he was having the time of his life as garbage rained down on the ring in Daytona Beach. The trio had successfully ticked the fans off - they had real heat, and the world was beginning to take notice of what WCW was doing. That heat would give way to bandwagon jumping as the Order became wrestling's in thing, but that formation? Wow.

This was a moment to cherish, and it remains one of the most watchable events in industry lore. Fire up WWE Network/Peacock, stick the Bash '96's main event on and enjoy. You won't be disappointed. If anything, you'll get goosebumps and your fandom will be reaffirmed.
