The Nation of Domination in the WWF was a little absurd.
A group of militant African Americans, including a couple of white rappers, is formed as a carbon-copy of the USWA stable of the same name (that also included such gems as Mo from Men on a Mission and white Southern boy Tracy Smothers/Freddie Joe Floyd as "Shaquille Ali"), They start building their Black Panther-style group by adding such wrestlers as Puerto Rican Savio Vega and Hawaiian ex-con Crush.
Faarooq, the leader, fires everyone except D'Lo Brown. Why Brown? What had he ever done to set himself apart from the others? Who knows? Ah yes, he only wanted to keep the African Americans. Doing so, for some reason, also necessitated the firing of African American manager Clarence Mason for...not being African American, I guess.
So, what happens next? Obviously, Crush and Savio joined forces to get revenge, right? Wrong. They each start their own stables. Crush suddenly becomes a biker and brings in three guys that nobody cares about (the fake Undertaker, and the Blu Brothers/Bruise Brothers/Grimm Twins/Harris Brothers). Savio brings in three guys that nobody cares about (Jose, Jesus, and Miguel, one of whom had more body hair than Giant Gonzalez' bodysuit).
And Crush and Savio feuded with each other. You know, because they suffered a common humiliation at the hands of a common enemy. Yes, they feuded with Faarooq as well, but I keep coming back to the same question. Why did Crush and Savio hate each other?
They have a heated feud with Ahmed Johnson. In the middle of the feud, Johnson joins for no reason. Almost as quickly, they turn on him for no reason.
Oh, and Faarooq hired Rocky Maivia. Then Rocky Maivia fired Faarooq. And Owen Hart suddenly became a black militant as well. Why not?

I don;t think there history though is confusing so much as dumb. Why were Crush and Savio Vega feuding why was Crush now a biker with a bunch of Biker friends and why was Savio Vega dressed all in white and hanging with a bunch of hairy men and feuding with Crush?. Why did the WWF think this would put ratings up?. Also why did Owen Hart join. The Nation is a good stable but there history is really dumb.

I never fully understood why Shawn Michaels and Triple H were feuding with each other? Was it ever fully explained why they pulled a swerve on a DX reunion (with HHH turning on Shawn and giving him the Pedigree) on the July 22, 2002 episode of "RAW"? It seemed like a hot shot excuse to get the two in the ring. I know that the two had legitimate heat for a while because Shawn was mad that HHH went to the managment (around the same time that WWF/E bought out WCW) behind his back, and told them that Shawn (who was strung out on dope) shouldn't be brought out on TV. Even when DX actually did reunite I was always thinking that either one of them were going to soon turn on each other.

From what I've seen, I think Owen joined so that he could have backup against DX. The Nation didn't have the black militant thing going for them anymore, but it helped them become more credible.

Sting wasn't the leader of the Wolfpac though. Nash was. Or as Savage said on his VHS release... "There really is no leader of tha WolfPac, just looney toons twenty four sevian, oh yeah." Anywho, I found the Savage/Nash angle from 99 confusing only because I have no clue who drove the Hummer.

Crush was in the Nation because Mason's day job of lawyer had led him and Crush to have a business relationship. Brown was kept on not because of what he'd done, but what he hadn't done. Screw up.

A more appropriate question is: why didn't Steve Blackman join the group?

I remember when I stopped watching WCW and turned it on one week to see Millionaires Club vs. New Blood. In the 5 minutes I watched it I was so confused, I never turned on WCW programming again until the final Nitro.

Wrestlemania 4. You have Bob Uecker running around looking for Vanna White, saying "She" all the time and "Her" and then when he runs into Gene at the end of the night right before the main event, he reveals that he got letters from some guy named Vance White.
I was confused when I was a 5 year old (1990, when my parents bought me the VHS.)
And I'm confused 19 years later.
WHAT THE HELL?!

I remember Owen was feuding with Trips for the Euro title, and every PPV DX would screw him, after his last PPV match with Trips (whichever ppv had Austin/Dude Love and Sable w/o a bikini top) Owen said he tried to be a nice guy, but it was time for a change. He then gets the help of his longtime friend and new leader of The Nation, Rocky Mavia. They even explained that those 2 were the only two on equal ground everybody else was under them.

I think the nWo just confusion around with them on purpose, they cant help it. Take their WWE run for example. Vince McMahon brings the nWo to the WWE to be the 'Poison' that destroys it, because Vince cant handle Ric Flair owning half the company. Now lets just consider this, Vince still owns HALF the company, so he's willing to put everything he worked for down the drain? Ok then. Once they arrive all goes to plan and they fued with The Rock and Austin. They play the heel role well, until Wrestlemania 18. We dont entirely know if Hogan was gonna be THAT over then, but as far as the storyline went it appears that the writers did as the conclusion of that match wrote Hogan out of the nWo. So now the nWo have lost their biggest member in the space of a month, what does this achieve? A lot for Hogan thats all really. Hogan was massivly over at this point and got a short Title reign out of it. The nWo on the other hand no longer look like poison, more like moldy cheese. They recruit X-Pac and The Big Show, whoop pee and fued with mid-carders! Scott Hall had a match against Bradshaw at Backlash '02 for christ sake, not JBL, BRADSHAW!!! During this time Nash gets injured and Scott Hall asks for a release. The nWo have now lost their other two biggest members. Although Nash remains on screen he dosent wrestle. Then things with Austin heat up again and it looks like Ric Flair is going to join the nWo! Hang on, werent the nWo supposed to drive Flair out of the WWE? Not recruit him!! Anyway this didnt seem to go anywhere as it appeard Flair forgot he was even in the nWo. So this leads to Booker T's involvement. Booker T at the time was in the beggining stages of his tag team with Goldust. The promos and backstage skits between the two were very funny and was gradually getting over with the fans. So to push Booker further they put him in the nWo?! Sorry but Booker T has just joined a group, where he has no real asscociation with any of the members and leaves behind a sad Goldust Booker's involvement with the group becomes even more confusing as none of the members want him in the group. So who asked him to be in the group? Thats right, Ric Flair, the one guy who the nWo was supposed to destroy and actually ended up forgettin he was in the group! Im really surprised people were still watching at this point. So Shawn Michaels. YES!!! SHAWN MICHAELS IS BACK! AND HE'S IN THE nWo! This in my eyes signified a brief revival for the nWo. Everyone loves Shawn and it was good to see him back with his old buddy Kevin Nash. Why did he join the nWo? I thought they were bad guys? It dosent matter it's SHAWN FREAKIN' MICHAELS!!! HBK then literally kicks Booker T out of the group because he dosent like him either. Why didnt they do that to begin with? Now Michaels and Nash are trying to tempt Triple H into the nWo and semi-reform the Kliq. But then it would be the Kliq not the nWo? Oh be quiet!! So it's buliding up to the PPV will Triple H join? Oh hang on Vince McMahon has just said the nWo is dead? Who decided that? It appears Vince did. But wasnt he the guy that brought them in to destroy the WWE? Umm, yeah i guess, ooo look that Brock Lesnar guy looks pretty good. I ask you what was the point in all of that?

I am convinced I am the only person who doesn't find anything in wrestling confusing. The 1st step is admitting you're watching pro wrestling. It makes everything, including Kane's life, must easier to digest.

Even when DX actually did reunite I was always thinking that either one of them were going to soon turn on each other. I personally never understood why they started feuding again in early 2004. All I remember is some long winded promo about who carried DX and who made who. But I never understood why I should care apart from the fact these two guys were feuding for some reason.

Umm, yeah i guess, ooo look that Brock Lesnar guy looks pretty good. I ask you what was the point in all of that? Actually i've been thinking about this even more. It kept me awake last night!! The whole premise of it's bring about was ludricous. So let's go back to the beggining, Vince McMahon wants to get of Ric Flair from the WWE because he dosent like Flair owning half of it. So why does Ric Flair own half the WWE? When Shane and Stephanie sold their portion of the company to buy WCW and ECW, they sold it to Flair. Ok that makes sense, that fine. Vince dosent like this, understandable. So Vince's solution to the problem is the nWo. What company did the nWo used to work for? WCW Correct. Who were Vince and the rest of the WWE fueding with only a few months before all of this? WCW and ECW. Yeah, they kicked their asses. Made them look like right jobbers not the company that beat them 84 weeks in row in the ratings a couple of years ago. Yeah, so why is Vince bringing in a commodity from a company he put out of business a few months ago and almost put him out of business? I dunno, the nWo are pretty good i guess. Exactly, Vince here is admitting at one time WCW and the nWo were better than WWE and they can once again be better, despite Vince's WWE wiping the floor with WCW only a few months ago. WHY? WHY? WHY? Why were the nWo even considered to be brought in so soon after the Invasion? It's just another perfect example of the WWE being to eager to get things only TV and smurfing it up.

Steve Blackman wasn't part of the group for one single reason: Steve Blackman WAS the group.
