Wrestling characters and factions that were once larger-than-life still resonate with today’s fans. During the mid-90s, Hulk Hogan did the unthinkable after he turned heel and joined the likes of “Big Sexy” Kevin Nash and the “Lone Wolf” Scott Hall. Together they formed one of the most dominant factions in wrestling ever, The NWO. The faction was instrumental in WCW’s success in 1996.
The New World Order was mainly active from 1996 to 2000 but, after Vince McMahon acquired WCW, WWF failed to revive the stable. NWO was the brainchild of Eric Bischoff who also joined the team in 1996.
The group continued to expand through the years and took in new members. Some of the other famous wrestlers who joined the team were Sting, Big Show, X-Pac, Shawn Michaels, Konan, and many more. To this day, wrestling fans preserve the remnants of the legendary stable by buying its merch.
Kendall Jenner joins the NWO
In 2017, one of the most popular Kardashians, Kendall Jenner, was seen sporting an NWO tee at the fashion event of Michael Kors fashion show in New York. Jenner raised eyebrows when she walked the runway in the black and red NWO Wolfpac t-shirt.
The star from the show Keeping Up With The Kardashians got a wild response from the fans and the NWO originals. Wrestling fans wondered if Jenner was truly a wrestling fan.
