10 WWE Reunions That Ultimately Disappointed
1. NWO
LOD 2000 may take the cake on disappointing reunions of traditional tag teams but WWE's version of the New World Order trumps them as a faction. Almost single-handedly, the original nWo trio of Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, and Hollywood Hogan shifted the industry, allowing WCW to overtake Vince McMahon's WWF as the premier pro-wrestling promotion in the world.
Unfortunately, the good fortune did not last and WCW was sold to McMahon in 2001, opening the door for an nWo reunion on WWE television. The much-anticipated return started off strong, but due to politics and backstage maneuvering, the nWo was quickly watered-down before being disbanded entirely.
In their first pay-per-view matches back, Hogan and Hall (with Nash in his corner) both lost at WrestleMania X8. A month later, Hogan had resurrected Hulkamania as a babyface, Hall was released, and Nash tore his quad in July; X-Pac, Big Show, and Booker T did little to fill their voids.
Considering WWE's political climate of the time, the idea was doomed to fail and it became one of the first examples of how Vince McMahon loved reminding everyone who won the Monday Night War.
