Should have kept it streamlined, maybe added a few guys here (how they didn't notice Jericho's mic work and put him in there, I'll never know) and there, and then you could make a case it was "similiar". But not the end product. I don't remember Hardcore Holly or Gangrel joining DX. They noticed Jericho and wanted him as a member, but he was getting plenty of airtime on his own that he wouldn't have gotten as one of a few dozen nWo members. Am I the only one who thinks DX would have been better in its later days if they'd started letting others join in one of its multiple relaunches? Not everyone, but select younger guys who could have done with the rub rather than having two 40 year olds steamrolling through all comers.

I think the initial concepts are pretty similiar, although the nWo was more "serious". But they ended up nothing alike. There's a point where the nWo ceases being a faction, and starts becoming a promotion. Total bloat. I swear, everyone in WCW short of Flair, Page, Goldberg (?) and the Cruisers ended up being in an nWo. Ridiculous and almost none of them added anything to the angle. I've always thought that they should have just let the nWo reign victorious & rebrand WCW as nWo Wrestling. Who knows? It might have extended the life of the promotion, the worst that could have happened was they would have went out of business (oh... yeah....) They should have given it a shot.
