Hey guys, what were your favorite moments with the Nation Of Domination? Mine were when Crush and Savio were kicked out and they had the 3 way "gang" war.

That guy was a really good talent. I didn't mind the early stage of the new Faarooq NOD, when he put Kama, Ahmed and kept D'Lo in it. It seemed pretty interesting, and I wonder what would have happened if Ahmed didn't get injured. Would they have kept him in the NOD?? Or did they kick him out so they could put Rocky in it?? Just an interesting time period that summer of 1997.

The only time I found anything interesting with them is when Farooq and Ahmed would start arguing back and forth. I always put on the closed caption on the tv to see if it would actually translate.
It never did.
(I did like when Ahmed joined but that lasted all of a week)

Survivor Series 1996.
I do laugh when I see a "Faarooq" promo.
They sucked. No offense to Faarooq.

The Rock belittling Farooq on a weekly basis was the only thing they ever did that I'd consider entertaining.

Simmons, Kama, D'Lo they all seemed to fit. Even Mark Henry but I guess with Rocky coming in with a more "Island" type gimmick, he didnt seem right in a Black Islamic type group. I would have much rather seen Butch Reed fill that spot.

IMO Rocky not fitting was instrumental to his push and I always felt that was part of the plan.

I loved the early NOD, when they feuded with Ahmed was awesome, it seemed like they really hated each other! Plus my first house show I ever attended was Farooq vs Undertaker, then NOD seemed so bad a..!

The first stable was A Pureto Rican, a Hawaiin, two southern white boys, and then your Black man, but no one ever said they were islamic. Even the last version had Owen Hart in it.

I think it's because there was never a big "blow off" because Ahmed was always getting hurt so they just kept it going.
It started in summer 1996 with Faarooq/Ahmed and they were still feuding at Survivor Series 1997.

He even had a short feud with Undertaker when he was champion in 1997 too.
Ahmed was going to get pushed to the sky had he stayed healthy.
