NWO Twenty Years Later: Where Are They Now?

During his 1997 run in WCW, Jeff Jarrett maintained a 'free agent' status as The Four Horsemen and the nWo equally battled for his attentions. Basically, he was like a budget Sting.

Ultimately, the second-generation star was forced into Flair's group, and was one of few WWF imports of the era who didn't don the black and white shirt.

Jarrett returned to Stamford a year into his WCW stint, but when he re-alighted in Atlanta in 1999, his relationship with the nWo was a different story. Despite resisting their overtures two years previous, Double J was adamant about reforming the dilapidated faction, alongside original founders Hall and Nash, as well as current champion Bret Hart. The small group, laden with quality, was a far cry from the watered-down mess the previous nWo had became.

By this point however, the name had been dragged through the mud such that any revival already beared a maligned reputation. To give the reboot a sense of freshness, Jarrett intelligently christened his stable 'nWo 2000. It was 1999. Genius.

When Bret Hart retired not long after, the new nWo disbanded, and that was that for Bischoff's great brainchild - at least as far as WCW was concerned.

Vince McMahon - ever one to hold a grudge - didn't forget the way in which Jarrett had held him to ransom when he walked out of the WWF in 1999, and resultantly had absolutely zero interest in welcoming the Tennessee grappler back to the fold.

Jarrett knew it was - and never would be - on the cards, and subsequently responded by forming TNA alongside his father in order to challenge McMahon's sudden hegemony. I think we all know how successful that has been.

In 2014, Jarrett founded another wrestling promotion, Global Force Wrestling. Although shows have been promoted under the GFW banner, the true intentions of the company became all the murkier in 2016 when Jarrett began asking fans to sign up for 'Global Force Gold'; seemingly a front for German company Karatbars, a Ponzi scheme which dupes unfortunate chancers into investing in the precious metal.

Don't think Jarrett's ever been in a 'Hell in a Cell' match so...watch this space!
