The WWE Hall Of Famer Who Says No Storyline Will Ever Be Better Than The NWO

WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff clarified and tempered his earlier remarks about The Bloodline storyline surpassing the legendary nWo in wrestling history.

Speaking on The Ariel Helwani Show, Bischoff emphasised the unique, enduring legacy of the nWo and why he believes its impact remains unparalleled.

Well, let me first talk about the distinction. I think no storyline, no faction, in my opinion, will have the impact that the nWo storyline had, and that has a lot to do with timing, the state of the business at that time, the evolution of the business. The timing was perfect for the nWo, and it’s still one of the top-selling merchandise items in the WWE catalogue.

Bischoff’s comments reflect on how the late 1990s provided the perfect conditions for the nWo’s explosive success. Debuting during a period when professional wrestling was ready for reinvention, the nWo revolutionised WCW and forever changed the wrestling landscape.

Featuring iconic stars Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, and Scott Hall, the nWo storyline blurred the boundaries between reality and fiction, introducing a groundbreaking realism. Its impact sparked the infamous Monday Night Wars and played a pivotal role in propelling professional wrestling into the mainstream spotlight during its late-90s peak.

Bischoff went on to speak about how Vader could be hard to deal with behind the scenes as he had somewhat of a split personality and was susceptible to being a bit of a bully.
