10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week

1. Nash & Hogan Own 50% Of nWo Merchandise Rights

The loose feel of 'Nature Boy' Ric Flair's podcast is part of what makes it so popular. This week, Flair was joined by former WCW head honcho Eric Bischoff, and the resultant conversation was extremely intriguing. Throughout, both men discussed at length various rumours about the company, as well as Bischoff's various roles within it. Interestingly, several things were brought to light that Bischoff claims he wasn't even aware of. According to Flair, Hulk Hogan and Kevin Nash own at least 50% of the merchandising rights for products bearing the nWo logo. Of course, the New World Order faction was Bischoff's brain child, but he doesn't see a penny from the faction nowadays. Somehow, Nash and Hogan have managed to come to own the lion's share of the rights to the merchandise. When Hulk Hogan products were taken off WWE's online shop recently, the nWo was no exception. In the words of Flair, this infuriated Kevin Nash, who has a deal with the company to continue to stock the merchandise. This is why several nWo items have started to resurface.
