Hush up, we're having this. Hall, Nash and Hogan may have made their names in the WWE to start with, but their tenure as the nWo was undoubtedly one of, if not the biggest success in WCW history. When Vince McMahon gave that infamous, maniacal promo promising to "poison" his creation with the help of the dastardly trio (seriously though, why would he paint 'nWo' BACKWARDS on his chair?!), people got mightily excited.

When the NWO made their WWE debut at No Way Out 2002, the electricity in the air was palpable. When the whole thing started to go !*$% up courtesy of Hogan going face and then Nash getting injured, things were looking a bit doddery. Even a returning HBK couldn't save a quickly sinking ship, and by the time the stable had resorted to beating up Booker T (poor Booker T!), the game was up. Vince pulled the plug, and the whole sorry scenario was thankfully forgotten.
