[Chi-Town Bully]

NWO easy

Hogan heel turn >>>> all the "edgy" shit HBK and nem did

 

[jono]

Hmm the heel turn itself was powerful...an iconic moment for the business

arguably THE iconic moment of the biz

 

[jono]

Its a good argument to be had...not many moments can compete.

 

[dalyricalbandit]

I cant really call it

NWO had the bigger impact shit aint close.

but i was more a WWF guy so i watched them more

 

[jono]

I am more of a DX fan though. I think Hogan's turn was the blueprint but DX started the ATTITUDE ERA.

I'm a go left field with it and say DX. I know the thread is about the OG squads but I can't negate the expansion squads that branched out both factions.

When Hogan finally turned heel in '96 to start the nWo nobody saw it coming it was a simple backstabbing angle but the players involved is what made that angle work. This is a time where there were no social media or dirt sheet websites to get spoilers/results from. For a while the nWo made wrestling popular and started a ratings war that made wrestling beyond popular and hasn't return to that glory since. When DX came on the scene I really didn't know what to make of them but a rival to The Hart Foundation stable. I was getting a little tired of the stables because WWF was doing nothing but teams & stables in '97. Throwing Rick Rude in the group was cool but he jumped ship after the Montreal Incident (They really didn't need Rude).

Ok here's why I chose DX over nWo. nWo started out and felt like a real concept, an actual hostile takeover of WCW. You had Nash, Hall, & Hogan disrupt matches/announcers just for the hell of it. Cool concept for 90's wrestling. The problems with the nWo is that they had a new member every week to the point the majority of the locker room was nWo. Which caused the nWo to split into 2 factions. Add on top of it, there were good main events ending in no contests/no dq's from nWo run-ins. When Goldberg won the belt on Nitro that should have been the end or at least the beginning of the end of nWo.

DX actually got better with HBK's departure and Trips taking over as leader w/Chyna, NAO, & X-Pac. HHH vs Rock in the mid-card was dope while Stone Cold ushering in a new era in WWF as the main attraction with big feuds against Undertaker & Kane. The NAO were the hypemen and leaders of the tag division. Vince giving the creative team the freedom to put out what they wanted. The nWo was getting stale & old and WCW was going down the tubes slowly because high ups wouldn't step in and end it.

Bobby Heenan spoiled Hogan's heel turn...i maintain commentators shouldn't know the finish

 

[its....JOHN B]

I missed a lot of that early dx stuff because of the NWO

I agree with most of this, if it wasn't og vs og I would go with dx

 

[jono]

I think its more debatable OG vs OG, i think I'd still ride with DC though.

HBK and HHH clowning Slaughter and Bret Hart are hilarious

 

[Idiopathic Joker]

DX was super gay so I'll go with nWo

 

[south4life]

NWO changed Wrestling and without them forming, we may not have had DX form.

Nah ECW was behind the attitude era.

I think ECW gets credit for some elements but what DX was doing was nothing like what any ECW act was doing.

 

[dalyricalbandit]

In the long run DX.

The way NWO formed was what made them ill and the beating they handed niggas but afterwards it got wack cause 97% of WCW became NWO.

 

[Dupac]

DX formed because of NWO

 

[Trollio]

when disco inferno became nwo, i stopped caring

 

[StoneColdMikey]

It's OG vs og but y'all still bringing up other shjt wtf
