what if nwo fail?

[Guest Jung]

you know, i really would wonder if the rating for raw comes in and its still crap, then what would vince do?

 

hhmm any one got any ideas if that ever happened?

He'd quit run with his money, if you can't please the fans why bother (note sarcastic voice)

for all that vince gets knocked, there's one big difference between him and Ted Turner, Turner never gave a damn about wrestling and bought WCW to fill a slot on his network. Vince for all that is said about him has been in and around wrestling his whole life and will do everything he can to make this work.

 

In reality if the nWo doesn't work he'll just try something else. He aint strapped for cash and I can't see him walking away from his massive empire

[Guest nWo Hogan]

I don't think the nWo will fail, so long as it doesn't end up like what happened in WCW, with a million different incarnations and about half the roster as members. It also needs to be allowed proper time to unfold and not have 12-18 months air time crammed and rushed into 2-3 months.

Of the 3 current nWo members Hogan,Nash and Hall it is most likely to be Hogan who comes out of this with the most credit and has the greatest chance of staying around, should the nWo fail. Hogan has the 'name' charisma and diversity (he could always return to the red and yellow 'face' version') where as Nash and Hall arent as big a draw and are one dimensional.

 

I never thought i'd see Hogan back in the WWF (not after how he left in 93) and all credit to the guy he still looks good. wrestlemania will be the turning point though as to wether these guys stick around, if there matches bomb the NWO will stand for NOT WORKING OUT and it'll be unlkikely we'll see them again. I just hope it works out and they stick around.

No actually, I couldn't hear you ;)

[Guest The Genetic Jackhammer]

They have been successful so far!

[Guest Jayden]

well yes and no, they've done what we all expected them to, increase the ratings. i think the problems that we all expect surrounding them coming to wwf come much further down the road. only time will tell whether vince made the right move although it is great to see the ratings up initially

[Guest darkarius]

In all honesty I think the attitudes of Hall and Nash might play a large part of it. If things are going on that have been said, I think hall might be outta there pretty damn quick. Walking in to the company and ruffling feathers isnt really the smartest thing to do, but hay ho we'll see what happens.

NWO is really 2 SWEET!

 

I'm gonna say something that I genuinely mean....the nWo angle is absolutely BRILLIANT.

 

The majority of fans are eating it up, including me, and their reaction is incredible. On Raw, Hogan went from being bowed to by fans, to booed the hell out of, to being chanted louder than The Rock, to being a sick sumanabitch. I never saw the nWo in WCW, but it surely was never as good as this.

 

I'm not jumping on a bandwagon on anything, but this angle is outstanding. Raw this week was amazing, the best I've seen for a long, long time. Hall and Nash doing their old moves was brilliant to watch, and the whole way it was played out was- to me, superb.

 

If this momentum can be carried forward all the way to 'Mania, then there is the very real possibility of it topping X-Seven, and that is gonna take a lot of work. But it's a realistic hope.

 

I think Vince has got it right dammit! Well done! :xyx

[Guest Perfection]

I was thinking exactly the same thing, for the first time in a while now, i sat down and watched Smackdown, looking forward to what was gonna happen next, i hope it turns out well :)

[Guest Seabass]

i agree with NJC

 

the rock-hogan segment left me speechless, and thinking "this >beep< rules"
