What’s So Special About WWE nWo stable?
nWo or the New World Order is a professional wrestling stable that originally consisted of “Hollywood” Hulk Hogan, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash. However, the stable originated in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) with the gimmick of a group of unsanctioned wrestlers aiming to “take over” and control WCW in the manner of a street gang. Fueled initially by the unexpected villainous turn of Hulk Hogan, the nWo storyline is generally considered one of the most successful angles in the history of modern-day professional wrestling. Furthermore, the nWo has inspired many parody factions outside the WWE. Such as Stevie Richards’ bWo, Eddie Guerrero’s lWo and the dMp (for Demon Making Plant) in the Japanese manga Kinnikuman.
And what are some of the most successful TV and movie projects from the pioneers of this stable? Well, we’re not gonna focus solely on the founding trio. Hulk Hogan, Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, Syxx, and Eric Bischoff are part of our mission in this article and yes. Let’s start and find out the best of these legends.
Hulk Hogan
Why not start with the one and only. The Hulk. And how can one choose the best movie from Hogan’s less-than-stellar acting career? Well, he had his Hollywood peak in the late 80s and 90s but we’re gonna attempt to find the best among the worst. When it comes to his on-screen career if you will. As much as I’d love to go with Thunder in Paradise… I’m gonna pick Rocky III. The 1982 sports drama is also Hulk Hogan’s on-screen debut. And it’s glorious. He portrays Thunderlips. The current world wrestling champion, who fights Rocky in a charity event. It’s a cool performance I must say, considering that it’s his first-ever. And it’s a shouldn’t miss out kind of performance too.
Fun fact: In the scene where Rocky body-slams Thunderlips out of the ring, Sylvester Stallone admitted that he couldn’t dead-lift Hulk Hogan. So he had Hogan jump into his arms.
Scott Hall
Rest in peace Razor Ramon. One of the finest and most charismatic wrestlers that ever graced the ring. He was amazing. But unlike Hulk Hogan, he never made it to the movies. He does have some documentary appearances under his belt, but not much really. But if I can choose, I’d choose the altruistic appearance on The Jerry Springer Show. There he got to meet (and make the day) two die-hard fans and that’s priceless. The appearance is from back in the 90s and the children were actually suffering from HIV/Aids. Back in the days when nobody would go near HIV patients, he showed kindness, empathy and compassion. And for that, he deserves a mention on this list.
Fun fact: He took the two kids to one of the WrestleManias, and according to an interview, they had a blast.
Kevin Nash
Oh boy. Kevin Nash is something else when it comes to his rising movie career. Which lasts to this very day, I might add. But speaking of fan-favorite performances (the fan being me) I’m kinda torn. I liked him in John Wick for sure, but I’d have to go with Magic Mike. Yes. He’s Tarzan/Ernest in Steven Soderbergh’s cult classic and he puts every actor there to shame. Considering that most of them are half his age. But one thing I learned from the movie is that the man can dance too. Who’d known?
Fun fact: He was 52 during the production of Magic Mike and 55 for the sequel.
Syxx
I had to scrape the bottom of the barrel for Syxx’s performances. And there are some, but they’re not that memorable. But Verotika stands out among the obscure and the forgettable. A bunch of surreal and bloody trilogy of erotic horror stories culled from Danzig’s comic. But yeah. Sean Michael Waltman is in the Change of face segment. Look him up.
Fun fact: The majority of the principal cast of the film are pornstars in real life.
