10 Thrown-Together WWE Acts That Made No Sense
5. WWE's New World Order
Of all the scabs to pick at from WWE's 'effort' with the New World Order in 2002, the final incarnation is the one best still left alone to try and heal. But not today.
The Hulk Hogan/Scott Hall/Kevin Nash original was at least a mirror of the original, but the multiple wounds that opened up in the group within weeks of their arrival foreshadowed just how grisly things would go for the gimmick under Vince McMahon's restless watch.
After Hogan turned babyface and Hall was fired, the nWo were forcibly afforded fellow WCW members Big Show and X-Pac to try and fill the void. Credibility not remotely restored, the company then turned to red hot babyfaces Booker T and Goldust, with the former reluctantly taking the t-shirt despite the protestations of the latter.
When this unsurprisingly sputtered, the company used Shawn Michaels' remarkable return to the fold as a last resort that also saw Booker hoofed out of the group in unnecessarily offensive fashion.
Vince McMahon himself put an overdue bullet in the group a week after Kevin Nash lay screaming on the canvas following his latest torn quad. Their pitiful demise was rather too fitting for a product painfully on it's a*se.
