    Default The nWo (Hogan/Hall/Nash) vs Austin/Rock/Foley

    Okay, Austin vs Hogan has been done (to death), but I was thinking... what if the nWo went up against the "big 3" of the WWF Attitude Era?

    This will be a Hell in a Cell elimination match, with all participants being as they were in the late 90s.

    Scott Hall's too much of a weak link, using Rumbles logic.

    Hogan might be the biggest gun (Austin might have something to say about that), but having Austin and Rock (and another world champion in Foley) on the same team is overkill.

    The WWE team should take it. This isn't a standard nWo beatdown with a numerical advantage.

    Limiting them to late 90s hurts team nWo because that is peak Austin and peak Rock but not so much peak Hogan. Hulkamania Hogan would run wild on them, brother.

    Legit question: Are Nash and Hogan in control of the booking?
    Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence.

    The Attitude team have better individual talent, but the nWo are a better team.

    You mean like the finger poke of doom? If Vince Mcmahon is calling the shots, he won't play that crap.

    Kayfabe is in effect. What is this "booking" you speak of?

    (Seriously, if we were portraying the match as predetermined, then the result would be whatever the person who booked it said it was. You could have something like a midget wrestler curb stomping Andre the Giant... or David Arquette winning the WCW World Championship).

    Honestly have to be more specific than just late 90s, because spring 98 Scott Hall basically vanished while he was busy self destructing off the stage, whereas basically any time earlier he's about as good as he ever was(Outsiders won the Tag championship for the 4th and 5th time in January and February of the same year)

    Well if Nash has feats of losing to being poked by one of Hogan's Fingers, The Peoples' Punch should knock him out for WEEKS.

    Mmm, I dunno. nWo, especially Hall and Nash, strike me as having much more effective teamwork.

    The Outsiders seem to have become an incredibly underrated Tag Team for some reason, for 2 or 3 years they were 5 time title holders and this was when the division was incredibly strong with teams like Giant and Lex Luger, the Steiner Brothers, Faces of Fear, Harlem Heat, and Public Enemy, and yeah this trio was originally supposed to be an extremely tight stable, meanwhile Austin, Rock, and Folely are just as likely to start spamming finishers on each other as the NWO (Bloodlust might prevent this from literally happening but the lack of effectiveness as a team is still there)
