The Indy crowd wouldn't enjoy it, but they aren't exactly making the company boom. If it happens cool, I'd like to see a short run. If not, I'll take the network special.
The NWO were too entertaining for this era, let the Bullet Club clad fans fap to workrate while the ratings continue to decline.

We already got a WWE version of the nWo about 16 years ago and it was a colossal failure then.
I'm as nostalgic as it gets with pro wrestling, but you can't just keep recycling the same tired ideas. Especially when those ideas center around guys who are now collecting Social Security.
Let every stable and organization from the 80s/90s/00s rest in peace.

I love the now, but I just think it would be cringeworthy at this point. Unless, they team up with the shield and do minimal moves in their match. Just have them for a one off. Bring Sting back too for a segment.

As much as I would love to see a...
Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Tag Team match
New World Order - Hollywood Hulk Hogan, the Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall), and Sting with Ric Flair
vs.
D-Generation X - Triple H, X-Pac, the New Age Outlaws (Road Dogg Jesse James and Bad @$$ Billy Gunn) with Shawn Michaels
It’s just time for them to only show up 4 times a year.
I wouldn’t mind seeing the original nWo members manage a new version, led by John Cena, Randy Orton, and Daniel Bryan. Make it a cross branded stable and add the Bullet / Balor Club. Would that be 2 Sweet!?

I'd have them manage a new NWO. Fill it with floundering WWE talent that needs a boost. Have Cody Rhodes as the leader. Turn Goldust into Dustin in a supporting role. Kevin Nash could work as a GM add a face, then start the NWO up and run smoke. Betray Hunter. Could be cool for a 6 month run.

Cena in NWO gear just makes perfect sense to me. A million ways you could run the angle to get there, but Cena in the Hogan role would be perfect IMO. I like this! Cena, Sheamus, Cesaro, Strowman. That's a good core of a new NWO. Kevin Nash as raw GM and secret NWO leader.

I'd have Hogan, Nash and Hall as mentors for a group of guys, maybe all 4 members of the Undisputed Era and Fin Balor. its been a while since we've had a big faction of guys, I think thats because its hard to get em all over individually, but the 3 big names are already over, Fin is well known on the main roster, so its just familiarising the UE with the casual fans in the audience. Yeah I just don’t see those guys. (More so Nash and Hogan) “passing the torch” or “giving the rub” to anyone. Those 2 always seem to be about what’s best for them. Remember Hogan “putting over” Kidman back in WCW? If they were to mentor someone the spotlight would still be on them They wouldnt be putting the young guys over, they would be part of the same team they'd be putting themselves over. Plus whats better for them than standing in the ring and just having to cut a promo. Or doing a pre-recorded backstage segment.

Or it could just be that WWE's target audience wouldn't find the idea of three old men being as much of a threat to a championship as Seth Rollins, Finn Balor or Braun Strowman anywhere near believable. It's not the 1990's anymore, these guys are qualifying for AARP, they need to be nowhere near a WWE ring.

See last night. If anything Balor would look ridiculous in there with Kevin Nash and Hulk Hogan. It's why Goldberg Owens was kept so short. These guys today are so tiny in comparison, casual viewer is not buying them beating up Hulk Hogan lol. Braun on the other hand looks like he could kill the NWO himself lol.

Yes, it's certainly not believable for a guy who's in ridiculous shape to beat up an old man twice his age. Are you actually kidding me? This isn't the 1980's anymore. People don't care if you're built like a brick craphouse, they care about if you're athletic enough to actually provide decent entertainment. It's why the 40-yard dash and vert jump are two of the most important drills at the NFL Combine. If WWE wants to present itself as a sport as well as entertainment, then they need to focus on the athleticism. The "casual fan" would much rather want to see Finn Balor and Seth Rollins perform incredible athletic feats than see three old men throw around guys half their age, otherwise Raw would be moved to Comedy Central.

I would like to see Hogan, Nash and Hall come back as the GMs of a brand...not in a wrestling capacity. Could be interesting...

Well, considering WWE got a billion dollars from Fox for the rights to Smackdown Live, they must have liked something they saw since they probably would have watched both shows before making the offer.

Scott Hall coming through the crowd would be a good start. That would be an incredible return. Vince, book this!!

The NWO was in theory a seperate wrestling organization, Bischoff's initial conception. Many people on here simply see them as a stable. Thus, you have a nice little angle with the vast amount of shows on WWE. Raw, Smackdown, NXT, 205, NWO. With the vast amount of talent within WWE, Im sure some creative juices can be stirred up. Very naive for many on here to simply see them as a stable running amok on Raw or whatever. Perhaps, a rated R show on the network? Where it can play with alot of the attitude themes from its era or something similar. That would be a brilliant idea.

Well personally I'd go with the below which of course Will never happen. But here goes...
Wwe decide relaunch WCW. It will go out on a new network on Monday night's in direct competition with RAW. Truth is it's going to be a different product so should aim to grow rather than divide audience.
Use the WCW invasion logo but coloured old school purple. Shane McMahon announces he still owns the name and that's why he's not been on Smackdown lately as he's been setting up and getting th3 TV deal. Second choice for Shane role is Jeff J.
WcW launches and first night reveals some stars stolen from Raw and SD, next call ups and new signings. A few ild WCW faces turn up to put the show over ie Sting DDP Hogan etc. Overall a more edgier product but minus any recall to the diva era. Still have the women as superstars let RAW and SD (some things weren't right of that era).
Shock opener is AJ Styles showing up while still SD champ leaves his belt on the ramp and says he's jumped ship and wants to trade his title for a shot at wcw gold. Out comes John Cena to massive boos doing his usual shtick and saying he wants in as he's wasn't around during WCW and sees it as a notch on his belt he never previously had. Just as the audience don't seen impressed out come the newly signed Cody and Young bucks wearing not nWo shorts but something more a mix of that and Bullet Club (let's assume bullet club name is no go as owned by NJPW). As they hit the ring it looks like they are aligned with AJ and star the beatdown of Cena. Crowd cheers as AJ looks confused. AJ pulls them off and gets in Codys face. Gallows and Anderson come out to back up AJ wearing The Club shirts. Cody and bucks retreat.
Next few weeks Finn vs log arrives but looks torn between alliegances.
End result is Finn aligning with Codys group as do Gallows and Anderson after turning on AJ.
New group: Cody, Young Bucks, Finn, Gallows and Anderson plus more to join. Leaders are Cody and Finn. Basically the nWo without the authority figure joining them and with a new name and modern twist.
Cena disappears and AJ becomes main staple WCW guy.
At least that's what I'd love to see although it would never happen
