Looking at Bullet Club in 2015, Its Easy To See Why WCW Didn't Kill The nWo

[Silkk]

Bullet Club been around now 2.5 years and are still over as fukk in numerous promotions. Bullet Club shirt selling out all over the place and the fans love/love to hate them. Hottest stable in the game today.

nWo was the same way in WCW, a lot of revisionist look back and say that the nWo should've ended at Starrcade 97. That would have cost WCW TONS of money in nWo revenue and they hadn't even started off the Wolfpac at that point. I can see why they prolonged as long as they did

Bullet Club doesn't have creative control or control of booking. They've stayed hot because they don't have a stranglehold on the Main Event scene.

As hot as the nWo why wouldn't they have a strangle hold on the main event scene.

Gallows & Gun been just as dominant as the outsiders and AJ been just as dominant as Hogan was. Not saying that in a bad way.

great observational thread.

Don't buy it, nWo should have ended at some point, the stan in me wanted it to go on forever but it got stale and stupid. Wolfpac should have been the final ever incarnation. nWo Wolfpac Elite :wtfisdis:
nWo B-Team (lead by Stevie Ray) :wtfisdis: nWo 2000 :wtfisdis:

Yeah but you're looking 4 years post formation, and the only reason the wolfpac died out when it did is because Hogan took over and turned them heel

Is Yujiro actually hitting that in real life?

 

[OH SOHH TRILL]

WCW died because it had no clear leader but instead was ran by a corporation. If it had one true leader like Vince, it would still be around today. It was one of if not the top rated show on TNT when it went off the air. NWO could still be hot. The Horseman was hot since 85 til damn near mid 2000s.

I think that's why WWE broke up The Shield at the height of their popularity, they didn't want them to become stale like NWO.

That was a mistake. The Shield was one of the only cool new IP's they've had in quite a while. They didn't get maximum value out of that, both in terms of storylines and in terms of merchandising etc.
