Marc Raimondi, ESPN journalist and author of the explosive new book Say Hello To The Bad Guys and Wrestling Observer’s Garrett Gonzalez break down how the nWo didn’t just change pro wrestling, it changed pop culture, and America itself. From the night Hulk Hogan turned heel and aligned with Kevin Nash and Scott Hall to Eric Bischoff’s bold vision for WCW Nitro, they detail the real-world impact of wrestling’s most iconic heel faction. Marc shares behind-the-scenes stories from his interviews with Kevin Nash, Eric Bischoff, and Scott Hall’s family, and explains why the nWo’s rise parallels the evolution of reality TV, hip hop culture, and even modern political theater. They talk about the build-up of Sting, the impact of Hogan’s full creative control, Sean Waltman’s “political” firing, Bret Hart, Goldberg, and why 1997 Starrcade was the beginning of the end of WCW.
