neither faction in their heyday were ever resolved or their stories finished.
In WCW summer 99 you still had scrubs like Stevie Ray and Vincent strolling around in nWo T-shirts but infamously the entire Wolfpac/Black & white craic was never resolved and never really came up after May IIRC? open to correction on that.
Then in WWF it was the same with DX....HHH just stopped hanging out with them in the Summer of 2000 when the faction was heel after its reformation in fall 99 & RD & Waltman just drifted aimlessly around the lower mid card feuding with each other & stuff.
I find this kinda weird....anyone else?

The black and white NWO stuff in 99 was a real mess. To go from how hot it was in 96 to this with Stevie Ray,Vincent, Horace etc fighting over control SMDH...
Just shows the shambles the company was in

I think Mania 31 was the true storybook ending for both factions. Sting settles his beef with the black & white. Hall & Nash make amends with the WWE machine aka HHH. The war was long over but this was the closure we never got on screen between both companies.

The war was long over but this was the closure we never got on screen between both companies. Ric Flair should have joined the WCW / nWo side, and set up a Survivor Series match that year. New World Order (Hollywood Hulk Hogan, the Outsiders (Kevin Nash amd Scott Hall), Sting and Ric Flair) vs. D-Generation X (Triple H, X-Pac, the New Age Outlaws (Road Dogg Jesse James and Bad @$$ Billy Gunn), and Shawn Michaels) If they really wanted to stick to the WrestleMania retirements, then Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels could have just been the managers for the matches. |

That was no resolution of any kind IMO. these storylines were in their heyday in 99/2000....that was 2015 and featured some of the most embarassing stuff that has ever been inflicted on a wrestling audience. there was no definitive end to the nWo storyline after their civil war ended and you had the Super group and jobber group. Goldberg never got his revenge...Hogan turned face and that was that. DX was very similar...they went from being the heel group dominating WWF during the McMahon Helmsley regime to disappearing in September with no storyline reason. |

They did have their similarities, but that is to be expected, they were run by the Kliq (Hall, Nash & Xpac for the NWO and HBK, HHH & Xpac for DX). I was never really a fan of DX, they could be funny at times, but mostly they were annoying. The NWO was much better as a group, and for wrestling all-together. The biggest issue with the NWO was it got way too big; it really should have stayed pretty small, tightknit group. Although the split NWO split was fun at the time, looking back on it, it doesn't make any sense. If they wanted to freshen up the group, they should have used the "split" to get rid of useless members, or guys whose membership ran its course - they should never have had two groups/factions. If they wanted to, they could have changed the colors to red and black, as well as add the wolfpac logo, to signify that this group was different from the previous one.

I’ve got it in m6 head that X-PAC, Chyna, Road Dogg and Gunn had some sort of feud post DX. I’m sure there was a 2v2 tag match with all 4 in it.

For the WWF DX stuff in 2000 I remember it being like this....
Billy Gunn got kicked out of the group the night after No Way Out on Raw. It was then Triple H, Road Dogg and X-Pac.
Summer of 2000, Road Dogg and X-Pac break up as a team and have a friendly match at SummerSlam with each other in a heel vs. heel type match I believe. I wanna say X-Pac cheated to win and Road Dogg became a good guy again after that.
Triple H become a good guy be default in the feud with Benoit and Angle in September and October of 2000.
Then Billy Gunn returns and joins up with Chyna to feud with Eddie Guerrero and Dean Malenko.
This brings up a big 4 on 4 match on Raw with the Radicalz vs. a one night only DX reformation of baby faces Triple H, Chyna, Billy Gunn and Road Dogg.
Then that night Triple H turns on Austin and goes heel... and aligns himself with the Radicalz.
Who by the way, were just feuding with each other from May - August of 2000 and are not back together too.
Road Dogg then joins with R-Truth, does their tag team thing, Billy and Chyna eventually split and do their separate things, and X-Pac returns in 2001 and ends up starting X-Factor with Albert and Credible.
Then DX just disappears until 2006 when HBK and Triple H do their thing.
As for the NWO stuff, I wasn't really watching Nitro and Thunder regularly enough to know how it ended.

Like someone else said WM31 felt like the true ending to the nWo story. They basically made peace with Sting after years of hatred in WCW.
When it comes to DX I like to pretend that the 2006 & 2009 stuff never happened. Once Billy Gunn got injured in 2000 DX went downhill.
The Xpac & Road Dogg team sucked and XPac was super hot fresh out of a huge feud with Kane only to be threw into a tag team.
When they reunited for 1 night only in late 2000 that felt like their true ending until 2012. They all went their separate ways after that night.

Sting stopped feuding with the nWo when he joined them in 1998.....& he never feuded with them afterwards. He never went up against the reformed nWo in 99 so 🤷 |
