WWE TLC 2011: The nWo Will and Should Never Make Their Return to the WWE

When Eric Bischoff joined the WWE as the RAW general manager in 2002, the former WCW president put it best when he spoke about the original New World Order being a cutting-edge, ruthless and aggressive idea and not the stale retread of Hogan, Hall and Nash joining the WWE as the nWo earlier that year.

If the WWE debuts yet another version of the nWo in the near future, it would be nothing more than a retread of a worn-out, stale idea that indeed was innovative when it was introduced in WCW in 1996. It doesn't bring the same kind of energy now.

When Scott Hall and Kevin Nash came to WCW as ‘invaders’ along with the biggest heel turn in professional wrestling history—as Hulk Hogan morphed into Hollywood Hogan—the New World Order revolutionized the world of pro wrestling by doing something that hadn’t been seen before in the sport.

Now if you fast-forward from ‘96 to the present-day WWE, there is no one on the current roster of the WWE that could join a new version of the nWo that would make fans take a step back and not think it’s just another retread.

There have been rumored combinations of Kevin Nash, Awesome Truth and possibly Alberto Del Rio forming the core of a new nWo, but if that’s going to be the core of the new stable, that’s extremely disappointing.

In my honest opinion, I thought the concept of the Nexus in 2010 with the rookies from the first season of NXT was one of the best ideas that the WWE thought up in years.

The way the group came on the scene leaving the crowd in shock, as the Nexus tore apart the entire ringside area along with decimating John Cena as RAW went off the air, could have been the WWE answer to a 21^st century version of the New World Order.

Even if we see the New World Order return to WWE television in the future, we are well aware of how the WWE doesn't really handle their stables with great care so the nWo might be around just long enough for new shirts to hit WWEShop.com and then the black and white attack will be off TV again.

So Bleachers, would you really want to see the 12^th incarnation between WCW and the WWE of the New World Order, or just let the idea drift off into wrestling oblivion?
