O.W.N. (One Warrior Nation), i was hoping he woulda recruited more members then just brutus beefcake, like sting and sum other old school wrestlers they coulda threw sum paint on, they shoulda worked out an angle for warrior and goldberg to face off (that probally woulda upped there ratings at the time)

that shit was corny(OWN)....they where taimed....NWO was untaimed...big poppa pump always had me cracking up.him and buff the stuff.

My favorite NWO memories were the early ones, when every week there'd be a new member. When they first started out with Scott Hall & Kevin Nash and the matches would stop in progress cuz they showed up. I remember when they popped up backstage and started tearing apart the WCW roster. Nash sent Rey Mysterio head first into one of the trailers like a dart. Then they had ambulances come and take the injured wrestlers. It was real cool back then. Wolfpack was tight too, I miss those days.

I used to laugh at the audacity Hulk had since he had management in his pocket.  I was a huge hogan fan so it was great for me, but even i would shake my head at some of the egotistical shit he'd pull off.

The best shows were when they were 3 hours, and you'd tune in the first hour, and the show would open with Hogan ALREADY IN THE RING because he was pissed about something.  I swear there were shows when it'd open with Hogan in the ring, he'd cut a promo.

20 minutes later, they'd show Hogan backstage talking to somebody, another promo.

20 Minutes later, they'd have a cruiserweight match, and Hogan and the NWO would bust it up and cut another promo.

20 minutes later, one of the NWO members would be in a match and Hogan and everybody would run in and cheat.

20 minutes later, the guy Hogan called out would come out and talk shit about Hogan.

20 Minutes later, the NWO would beat the guy down in the backroom.

In the end, Hogan'd show up to wrestle and beat the shit out of the guy...

ahhhh, those were the days.

Really though, some of the best angles were:

When Hogan ran for president, and would come out in front of a flag and everything, lol.  It was when Jesse Ventura was elected governor, he said Jesse was always in his shadow so he could probably get elected President if Jesse could get elected governor.  LOL.

There were nights I swear it was obvious that Hogan was drunk cutting promos.  Whether you hate him or not he was always pretty exciting on the microphone, even though it was the same stuff over and over again.  He can whip a crowd up, and his voice has been imitated by half the wrestlers since.  There's this famous clip of Hogan coming out with this wild half-high look on his face, and he grabs a sign that said something like "turner pays Hogan too much" or something and you could just tell he was high as hell when he was laughing into the camera.

The best promo anybody ever did back then was when Bischoff brought the 4 horseman back (for a while, he let Flair sit at home and told him they didn't have anything for him...) well, anyways, when they let Flair back on t.v., he cut this great promo one night, where he came out to the ring with his suit on, and started all his shit, took the rolex off, threw it on the ground, took his jacket off, threw it on the ground, and handcuffed himself to the ropes.  He throws a shoe into the audience, etc... He was running around and causing all kinds of hell, because he was trying to get Bischoff to come out and talk to him... so he's handcuffed to the ropes, and goes "BISCHOFF!!! BISCHOFF!!! DON'T GO TO A COMMERICAL!!!! DON'T GO TO A COMMERCIAL!!! IF YOU DO, WHEN YOU COME BACK..... I'LL BE NAKED!!!!!!.... NAKED!!!!!" then they of course cut to a commercial.

Come back from the commercial, Flair's handcuffed to the rope wearing his socks and boxer shorts.  LOL.  Crowd's going crazy because he's been stripping the whole time.

Another great Flair one was they did this half-way decent in my opinion angle where Bischoff had him committed to a mental hospital, lol.  So they ran a couple angles for 2 weeks or so of Flair IN a mental hospital with all these crazy fuckers around him and shit... and a couple hot nurses, etc.  It was pretty comical and silly.

The next week, it'd been like 3 weeks of this or something, and Nitro was in Charlotte that week.  Of course Charlotte's Ric's hometown... so I went to the show.  About halfway through the show, they show Charles Robinson who's the ref that everybody calls "Little Natch" because he has hair like Flair and is a big flair fan... they show Charles on a cell phone in the back, and he goes "What? You're out?  Say what?" and then the screen changes and showed Ric Flair, driving a mental patient bus (one of the short ones) with a couple hot nurses and all these crazy motherfuckers drooling and jumping up and down and shit over his shoulder... and Ric's yelling into the cell phone driving down the road "I'M COMING TO CHARLOTTE!!!! I'M COMING TO NITRO!!!! WHOOOOOO!!!"

the place went fucking NUTS biggest pop I've ever seen for somebody.
