NWO Twenty Years Later: Where Are They Now?

Any Hulk Hogan venture wouldn't be complete without Ed Leslie in tow somewhere not far behind, spoiling proceedings. Oddly, it took almost two full years before the ex-barber disappointingly cropped up again in the New World Order, like a persistent chesty cough, spreading his malign influence in the process.

By 1998, the black and white cell had already grown stale, and the likes of Leslie joining the once cool faction did nothing to quell the spread of mould. Donning approximately his fiftieth gimmick, Leslie was virtually unrecognisable as The Disciple in the group, sporting dark sunglasses, biker leathers, and a full-beard for the first time in his career.

His duties mostly involved looking intimidating an inch behind Hogan, and little besides. Obviously it was rubbish, and it wasn't long before the tide swung irrecoverably in the favour of WWF. (Admittedly, not directly because of Leslie's nWo involvement.)

Post-retirement, Leslie continued to be number one suck-up to Hogan, using the friendship for his own personal benefit any way he could. By all accounts, the relationship turned sour in 2015 after it was revealed that Hogan's ex-Disciple had been selling bogus autographed images of 'The Hulkster'.

Most recently, Leslie has made the frankly farcical claims that he is set to be inducted into WWE's Hall of Fame anytime soon. Who's less deserving: Brutus Beefcake or Drew Carey?

It's not likely to happen, but the snub could be just the thing to re-unite the former Booty Man with his estranged pal Hogan, himself unceremoniously booted from the class following the unsavoury racism scandal.
