Because hogan and Austin couldn't agree to a finish, so they went with rock/hogan and hall/Austin, and hall relapsed the night before mania and fell way off the wagon. They turned hogan face and were going with the og wolfpac (xpac joined on smack down after mania) including bringing back hbk which they eventually did.

They were going to go with the nwo = the full kliq but hall went to rehab, hbk was real corny at the time, they added giant and booker to give themselves numbers, and hogan flexed his way back to the title picture.

Brock, Batista, cena, and Orton were the future so they said screw this and killed the angle, and HHH created evolution instead.

TL;DR: because hall got drunk and hogans creative control

WITHOUT MY UNPARALLELED GENIUS IN CREATIVE CONTROL, THE nWo COULD ONLY HAVE LIMITED SUCCESS, BROTHER! IN THE WCW, I WAS USING SHEER WILLPOWER TO KEEP BIG SEXY'S QUADS INTACT, IMPRESSING UPON THE UNIVERSE THE VISION OF REALITY IN MY MIND, DUDE! AND COKEBOY DIDN'T WANT SCOTT COMING TO WORK DRUNK, BUT HE DIDN'T KNOW BIG SCOTT ACTUALLY RUNS ON ALCOHOL LIKE BENDER FROM FUTURAMA, MEAN GENE!

I always wanted to know where this was going




Wonder if Shawn would've even started wrestling again had Nash stayed healthy

If Hogan jobbed to Rock, why couldn't Austin/Hogan agree to a finish?

It worked out better anyway because the Rock/Hogan match is timeless

The real answer is that Cokeboy wasn't goin to let them generate any real momentum since they almost put him out of business
Because hogan wouldn't job to Austin. Its really that simple. Hogan would job to rock but not Austin.

Even more so, rock was supposed to go over and HALL was supposed to go over; Austin had no problem losing to his old buddy Scott hall. But they changed it week of mania and hall relapsed.

Hall and Austin were never close or buddies. They barely even had conversations until 2002. They spoke on that during the podcast..Austin has known Nash and Scott Steiner for years though.

And they never were going to do Austin vs Hogan in 2002. It was always going to be Rock vs Austin which is part of why Austin got mad for being pushed behind that match after going over the year before at Mania 17. He no showed the night after Mania 18 because he wasnt feeling creative pushing that far behind Rock and Hogan's aftermath.

He also wasnt at the original WWF Draft which worked out again because they made it about Rock being the #1 pick just like they made it Rock and Hogan teaming up for the first time the night after Mania.

I suspect had Austin actually showed up the night after..we could of saw Rock, Austin, and Hogan team up for the first time ever. Night after Mania...another case of Rock getting on the mic and turning an anti Rock crowd in Montreal into obedient Rock fans by the end of the promo. Untouchable.

Main issue is that they were all in their mid to late 40s and the NWO had been stale as fukk since 1998. Then you add in Hall being in a bad place even for him, Nash being ultra injury prone, and Hogan's return to WWE being too big for the NWO, and you have a no win situation.

Nobody wanted to boo Razor/Diesel/Hulk coming back to the WWF to begin with. TBH though, Nash put in the most effort in years in that brief run.

I thought Austin didn't wan have the match cuz he thought hogan couldn't work and "didn't wan have a half ass match".

I didn't think it even got that that far cuz Austin refused to have the match.

In turn they gave it to rock and Austin threw a hissy fit which because he was supposed to lose to hall and McMahon changed the finishes of the wrestle mania which made hall get pissed n tell everyone he going to the bar.

Austin being mad he was gonna lose on the mid card had McMahon change the whole thing up which killed the nwo.

Rock vs hogan was a super classic

I'm sure both stories have circulated. Truth somewhere between.

And rock vs hogan is maybe the goat match so we all won.
