Here me out.
The main problem with the nWo when it came on the scene is that it became an unstoppable force. No major nWo player lost clean in those days and if they did, it took an act of God for it to happen. Why? Hulk Hogan. Creative Control is a bitch, isn't it?
That meant that Hogan had veto power over any of his segments and matches as part of his contract with Turner. Long story short, everything revolved around Hogan. So how do you keep the nWo from killing momentum in WCW permanently? You eventually have to do away with the nWo. But how?
After about 9-12 months of running wild, Hogan starts to get 'soft' on them. He feels a little tinge of guilt for the constant shenanigans and garbage flying at him. The Outsiders and others in the nWo start to notice this and call Hogan out on it. Hogan gets defensive and stuff and everything seems good with them... until a major PPV... let's say Starrcade. You book a Nash vs Hogan title match making it seem like the nWo's wanting to keep the belt in-house and have Nash build it up like he's simply going to 'do his job' against Hollywood at Starrcade. That's when you have Hall, Nash, and whomever turn on Hogan, pin him and take the title from him. Next night on Nitro, you have Nash, Hall, and the rest of the gang come out and say that Hogan can't be trusted anymore and that he's going soft on them...and the last thing the nWo wants is someone who's soft.
Mind you, this gets Hogan off of TV for a bit as he could be filming a movie and stuff. You still have Sting doing his deal by scaring the shiz out of the rest of the nWo.... only in a month or two, you have Hogan join the fight against the nWo with Sting. Have Sting win the belt back from Nash, Hogan takes on Hall and whomever else there is... and WCW eventually tags along for an end-all match at Fall Brawl where a Hogan/Sting led group do away with the nWo and leave WCW reigning supreme.
This had to happen right? Does this make WCW a viable contender in the eyes of fans? Would it even matter if this went down because creative in WCW was its own worst enemy anyway? Would this be possible with the wrestlers involved?
