4 LIFE | The NWO Story (Full Faction Documentary) 

Thanks for watching, what should we cover in future videos? Also, make sure to drop a like to help get the video picked up by RU-vid’s algorithm 💪🏻👊🏻🤘🏻

I give a lot of credit to sting it's hard trying to save WCW while being the lead singer for The Police

HEY YO! IT'S WRESTLE WITH ANDY AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS! "Hard work pays off, dreams come true. Bad times don't last, but BAD GUYS do." R.I.P. SCOTT HALL

The NWO has got to be the greatest faction concept in wrestling history. It completely changed the traditional face/heel (good guy/bad guy) setup that has been the standard since the beginning. Now there was a grey area, and they were basically anti-heros who beat up on anyone, regardless of heel/face status.

It’s so sad wrestling will never be like this again. Mid to late 90’s was such an awesome time in wrestling. It was just awesome.

I'm so glad that he said "lawndarting Rey Mysterio". I've been describing that moment as lawndarting since forever. It is my most remembered WCW moment ever.

I was born in 1988. I didn't even realize wcw was a thing until the giant vs hogan before the turn. I only started watching regularly when scott hall showed up because i was always a wwf fan. Had hogan not turned people my age would only know hogan from highlights. So happy he turned and I got to watch probably the greatest Era in wrestling because of it.

Initially I’m like Hogan “ NO!… go away “ but he really needed it . New look gimmick and attitude . Those videos with all that trash being thrown , HEAT . It turned out awesome . Hulk went from go home we hate you to , we want to kill you. Better to be hated than ignored .

This really takes me back. It’s amazing how emotionally invested my friends and I were

The NWO was so groundbreaking and fresh when i first saw the faction watching WCW Nitro as a kid. It sadly got too bloated and never felt like it had a satisfying ending. Wish Sting had gotten a clean victory over Hogan at Starrcade '97 and that set up the ending of the faction.

Fun Fact: Rey Mysterio came up with the idea of being thrown like a dart against the trailer. Kevin Nash was worried he would seriously hurt Rey, but Rey talked him down and convinced him to do it.

What a great time to be a wresting fan, WCW and WWF trying to outdo each other on Monday and Thursday nights was great.

The NWO, a fantastic concept. That went on for WAY too long and got WAY too convoluted after awhile.

Love the way you put videos together very informative. Question: why are some parts blurred out?

I always love it when you say "LETHAL DOSE OF POISON" IN McMahon's voice.

Those weeks when it was just Hall and Nash were some of the best times in wrestling for me. Any moment you knew when the crowd was starting to make a commotion it meant Hall and Nash had just shown up and were creating havoc.

I’m in June of 1998 on Peacock with both WCW and WWF and they’re both so much fun to watch. Started in May of 96 with WCW and Jan of 97 with WWF. I have to say, WCW was my favorite but I’m slowly finding myself looking forward to Raw more lately.

It's crazy to think that if Hogan wasn't a selfish S.O.B and Sting won the title fair and square and the nWo ended shortly afterwards, we might still have WCW today. Goes to show how much of an impact one man's decision can have

NWO the most iconic theme song and the greatest faction of all time, the one that literally changed the landscape of professional wrestling

Great vid bro, I miss the 90's. Monday night 1997-2000 was endless hype

Your videos got me back into wrestling, keep up the great work!

Like the commentary in your videos so far! You give strong wrestling bios vibes!

So close to 200k you deserve it with all the work you put into these videos keep up the good work.

the most iconic faction in pro wrestling history period

Most ICONIC theme music of all time!!!!!!! The NWO is solely responsible for making watching wrestling cool in school growing up before them wrestling was hardly ever talked about at school 🤘🏽 #TooSweet

Your vid’s helped respark my love for wrestling, keep it up man!

That's 1 More For The Bad Guys -Scott Hall

In 2002 Nwo debuting at No Way Out was just perfect

This NWO Documentary is Just Too Sweeet! 🤘

4-Life/2-Sweet! hope we get something on Hogan next (Can i get links to the music you used?)

30 minutes of Nwo.. It shows how much good this faction was from 1996-1998. You can't deny they are one of the best and had the best heel turns in history imo should have been a better faction if WCW didn't bought by Vince in 2001 they should had been the ones (least scott hall ) to end the reign of terror in 2002 and should had sparked a new Era during that time but its just my opinion

This is an awesome documentary! Can you do a documentary about The New Day as your next faction?

I watched WCW first.. And would watch WWF during commercials.. Gradually it became the other way around until eventually I wouldn't even turn to Nitro during Raw's commercial break. Having said that.. Goldberg beating Hogan for the belt on Nitro is *still* my all time favorite moment/match from my wrestling fan days. I still watch it from time to time and it still gives me goosebumps.. 12 year old me was *so* pumped when Goldberg speared him.. I'll never forget that night!

Love your vids dude! So much nostalgia

Amazing amazing video! Thank you so much! You did a fantastic job!

I missed bash at the beach at 1996, as we drove into holidays at that time. That was such an impotortant event. Greetz from Germany

Great video Andy! Yeah i got nwo fatigue when the roster got too big. Too much of a good thing can be bad

I recently saw the videos of when they created it and I can't help but remember that Hulk Hogan said that they were going to end everything, and it literally was like that

4:00 Scott Hall had used those mannerisms when at WCW prior to going to WWF, as Diamond Studd.

Taking a class on "How the WCW Leadership Got the nWo Invasion Pulled Off" ... would be the most entertaining course in business school ever.

Still my favourite faction of all time. The cool factor mixed with star power! Will never be topped

Andy, thanks for putting out these great documentaries. They are so easy to watch and I love the archival footage. You have a great narrative voice too. Your content is very entertaining and makes my day!

Great vid! Really pretty damn insightful about the things I never really hear enough wrestling fans discussing across the RU-vid community...namely the significance & nuances regarding the connection between the Kliq, the NWO, & DX.

Wrestle With Andy doing a nWo video is just....TOO......SWEEEEEET!!!🤘

I been waiting on this!

Nwo had its ups and downs but mostly ups. Not only did they shock the wrestling world and gave something fresh and cool for the late 90s youths but this group also helped many careers. For starters it gave Hogan a fresh new start after the overstayed persona of Hulkamania into a heel role never seen before. Then it gave some midcard wrestlers who seemed to be going nowhere a brand new gig and eventually popularity like Buff and K dawg. Also Scott Steiner who's been in a tag team for the longest time was now given an opportunity to go solo and reinvent himself as Big poppa. Of course every good thing must come to an end and pretty much the Nwo elite was the final straw.

Scott halls taunt at the end is excatly what I do everytime I clock out at work

I still remember when Scott appeared on Nitro. I was a kid and was like what’s Razor Ramon doing and what wrestling show is this? Gotta admit, it revolutionized pro-wrestling forever.

i remember watching these guys staying up until 2am on a school night monday watching wwe and wcw nitro i even went to a local wcw show and got an nwo shirt. This was my child hood.

Hulk Hogan may have revolutionized the business with the nWo, but on his best day he can't lace Shawn Michaels' boots. He's lucky that WCW never got Shawn to jump because at the time Shawn was maximum asshole and he would have won a power struggle with Hogan because the rest of the Kliq would all be loyal to Shawn first.

That was a great explanatory documentary. I recently watched an Eric Bishoff interview part of the downfall. When WCW changed its direction.

I remember this. Seeing hulk turn heel was unfathomable for my ten year old mind.

My favourite team when it comes to wrestling in general will always be the NWO with Hollywood Hogan , Scott Hall and Kevin Nash. 🙂

Still have the NWO shirt from the 90's era and it is still new...Great video

its crazy to thiunk that scott hall was the first to come in and the one treated as last. RIP Scott Hall

I grew up with Hogans Hulkamania and Mega Powers phase, my dad was just a fan of wrestling in general; I still remember how we both jumped up with a big NOOOOOOOO when we saw Hulk preparing his leg-drop for Machoman, absolute and pure disbelief 😳😱

When you gave Hogan credit i died a bit

6:00. NO NO NO. Larry Zbyszko came up with the name when announcing, "they are the new order of wrestling", just an improv. Bischoff liked it, and they adopted the moniker.

NWO will always be the coolest faction of all time!

The Diamond Stud (Hall) & Oz (Nash) were teaming up back in '91

I was listening to the "83 weeks" podcast the other day and Eric Bischoff said that Jeff Farmer continued the "bogus Sting" gimmick in Japan for years after WCW folded.

Great work but you forgot syxx departure to dx and hogan's beef with russo.

I thought it all started to fall apart when they started recruiting all the new members. Some where great like the Giant (good to have another big man on the team) but when they started just adding members like they didn't even care if the new members had talent that's when they lost me. To many members lead to well CHAOS!!

Thanks, Andy.

The greatest gang in all of wrestling, for a time I thought that no one could stop them.

Hogan turning heel at that time was brilliant. Almost as brilliant as the build up to the heel turn of Ole on Dusty. The 2 greatest heel turns of all time. The only bad thing was that too many NWO factions. That took away the appeal. The other genius move was turning Stinger into the mysterious Crow character.

RIP Scott hall

I waited this entire video for “too SWEET” to get interjected in, I was cracking up a lot of nostalgia

No doubt one of the best factions and one of the best people in the faction Mr perfect , Hulk Hogan etc no doubt they are one of the best but that's just my opinion

R I P toooooooo sweeeeeet bros 4 life Scott Hall and Kevin Nash the outsiders my favorite tag team in wrestling.

I remember all this like it was yesterday!!!! I wish wrestling could go back to this style and these characters!!!! It’s nothing like this now! And it’s so crazy to think I remember when wcw was bigger than wwf, and then something changed and raw took over everything and nitro went down hill quickly there after but nitro was so sick while it lasted!!!!!! So sick!!!!

Man, witnessing tat whole NWO saga firsthand back then was glorious! It’ll never be topped…4 life 🎉

Can't believe i didn't c it coming when Hulk wasn't on team WCW...he wasn't on tv at the time but it was announced on commentary to include his name to volunteer for team WCW but wasn't announced for said team...i missed the ppv but the next day in school (summer school) a couple of friends saw it and informed me my hero was the 3rd man!!! I could not believe it!! And my friends didn't seem to care!! I was like WTF i need to c this and on WCW Saturday night the announcers sounded like someone died...then the replay was aired i finally saw it in all its glory it was awesome i LOVED Hollywood Hogan!!! And if im not mistaken Sting is the one who named Hulk Hogan as Hollywood Hogan said he was no longer the immortal one...and told him to stick it!! The lines were drawn and i was nWo 4 LIFE!!!

at the time the fans didn't know Hogan was a heel early in his career....so to the majority of fans seeing him turn heel was a new thing to them........I already knew he had been a heel in WWWF when Vince Sr was in charge..with Freddie Blassie as his manager. so Hogn turn heel to join the NWO was not a suprise to me.

19:27 Holy cow just noticed he's wearing an old school Buffalo Sabres hockey jersey with the goathead taken off it lol

I cant stop laughing at nash tearing his quad lol. Why was he trying to run ?? 🤣

Awesome Video😎😎😎💎💎💎

I loved the nWo! My three favorite wrestlers all together in one group! I have tons of nWo merchandise and even attended the nWo reunion. nWo 4 Life!

Could you please do a video on the Blue World Order that would be peachy

You should do a documentary about the bullet club

Did anybody else see the video going blurry around 23:45-24:00? And again at around 27:40

Imagine if Scott Hall and Kevin Nash had not been in the Editing Room when producers and editors edited the very first Hogan video taped promo. I remember hearing a story from Hall and Nash, that Hogan’s promo was the absolute worst Heel Promo of all time, and if Hogan pulled his Creative Control card the NWO would have failed before it even started.

When u gonna do a Nation of Domination video???

The original NWO in 1996-1997 was better than the WWE version in 2002 especially when Shawn michaels Joined which didn't make sense outside of the fact the Shawn michaels is friends with Kevin Nash Triple H joining would've been very interesting that would've been better than The Reign of Terror IMO

If they would rerun the whole era from start to finish. I would tune in. Imagine it on sky sports starting and showing both WCW and WWE as it went down. Here’s the undeniable fact. WWE and WCW pushed each other to heights they wouldn’t have alone. It’s like the great rivalry bring out the best.

I was there all the way from day one....best times ever 1997/1998

So your saying if Hogan stays face, we never get crow Sting

*WWA mentions Bill Goldberg Winning Streak* Me: Thank God Wrestling Bios is counting the wins

The rise of NWO and then the rise of Sting (crow) was so amazing for me. I was always excited for Nitro to come out. Now older I never realized that NWO and then Eric Bischoff heel turn was before DX and Vince McMahon heel turn

Hollywood hogan’s theme music is still 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This was back when wrestling great

24:20. By this time, Turner was no longer in charge of WCW. Ownership went to Time Warner, who had no interest in continuing the show. The days of unlimited paychecks were over, and every show was scrutinized for not only "moral content," but also revenue dollars.

Loved the nWo but holy shit did it get old fast once they did that membership drive and Bischoff joined up.

As popular as this faction usually is, it’s never going to erase the fact they were victims of their own success.

Hollywood Hogan never age, i mean literally, from 1994 till today he looks same

I feel like you should've talked about the band and the main event mafia

That was Too Sweet

I was so lucky to have been old enough to watch The NWO come to life. God I miss these days so much. Hogan turning heel was a moment you just can't understand unless you were there.

I was huge wrestling fan in the 90s huge bret fan loved him since 1990 I remember being interested in WCW when nwo started and watch the reruns when this was starting was pretty my favorite time watching wwf ever Stone cold bret rivalry in my opinion the best rivalry and possibly the best finishing match if not the best match of all times American fans vs the world wrestling fans that was bret vs the fans the most unique creative thing ever down in wrestling Montreal screw job happened shortly after thar was wwf just awesome it's hard to believe that nitro was actually beating the wwf in that 96 mostly 97 wwf was crazy good nothing ever seen like that before are after but it really shows how big hogan was him turning heal was enough to beat one of the most amazing years in wwf it's insane they never used bret to win the war because they really could of won if they just lonched hart properly but wwf is what makes the future always creating new stars when WCW was wwf old stars wrestling would likely totally suck if WCW won

Amazing video
