Hulk Hogan turns his back on WCW to join forces with Scott Hall and Kevin Nash, forming The New World Order in one of the most shocking moments in sports-ent...
The two who aren’t Hulk Hogan were working for WWF, left the company and went to WCW. Big deal at the time, WCW acted like they were WWF ‘outsiders’ coming to invade until WWF actually sued over it. Long story short we get to this PPV after a little bit of them raising hell the 2 of them were booked with a mystery partner, to face 3 other of WCW’s main guys (Randy Savage, Sting and Lex Luger). The outsiders overwhelmed the others, Savage was down in the ring, and Hogan showed up out of nowhere to help. Hogan, lifelong good guy, say your prayers, eat your vitamins, Superman-in-pro-wrestling, best friend of Randy Savage out to save the day!
And he attacks Savage instead.
The 3 of them would form The New World Order, one of the most influential wrestling factions ever, to this day, leading to several revivals, splitoffs, and spiritual successors like Bullet Club in NJPW/AEW/others.
I can tl;dr it:
