nWo Japan...Muta and Chono...
Didn't they keep calling themselves nWo long after WCW died out?

Was Bret Hart ever really an offical member of the nWo? Another name that seems to be forgotten in the sands of nWo time, The Giant. Also, for my money, Vicious and Delicous were a good tag team. Norton and Bagwell really should have been given the WCW Tag Team Titles. After all, Hall and Nash did not meet their 30 day title defense requirement, as mandated by contract, thus should have been striped of the belts. I should know because I counted and make that argument quite vocally at the time. Then I got the internet and wrestling stopped being fun. In 1998, when he was teaming with Hogan and other nWo members, no. He never actually joined or wore an nWo shirt. However, he did become the leader of nWo 2000 with Jarrett, Hall, Nash, Steiner.

A bunch of those guys were never a part of the NWO. Rick Steiner, John Tenta and Perry Saturn, for example. Everyone seems to forget Rick Steiner was in it at the very end of the heel Wolfpack in 1999. After Scott Hall drank himself on an extended leave, Hogan went home with injury, Bufff was kicked out, and Luger began siding with Sting again, the Steiners reunited. Rick came out with an nWo Wolfpack shirt on an episode of Thunder (I believe sometime in May, went Nash's booking was really ramping up the suckitude of the promotion) and said he had joined his brother Scott in the nWo. It was never mentioned again, but I'd say it counts. As for a total list, you almost have to do it by incarnation. I'll start with the easiest: Wolfpack and nWo silver and black. Face/Tweener Wolfpack (1998): -Kevin Nash -Lex Luger -Konnan -Sting -Randy Savage -Scott Hall (briefly) -Curt Henning (briefly) Heel Wolfpack (1999): -Hollywood Hogan -Kevin Nash -Scott Hall -Scott Steiner -Buff Bagwell -Lex Luger -Disco Inferno -David Flair -Torrie Wilson -Elizabeth -Rick Steiner After this, Wolfpack membership gets debatable, since members began dropping one by one and most people stopped wearing the clothing and working together. However, Hogan wore nWo regalia until he went back to the red and yellow in August, and Nash usually wore nWo or Outsider clothing and came out to the Wolfpack theme (granted, he would do this until the bitter end). When Nash was feuding with face Hogan, he was joined by Rick Steiner and Sid Vicious as a heel trio. Although Sid was never officially called an nWo member, I'd say a case could be made since he was partnered with the last vestiges of the group. nWo Black and Silver (2000): -Bret Hart -Jeff Jarrett -Kevin Nash -Scott Hall -Scott Steiner -Ron Harris -Don Harris An argument could be made that Vince Russo was the leader of the group, since it was his initial Dr. Claw-esque version of his character that formed the group in the first place. Seeing as the Rick Steiner promo only happened once, I'd say it doesn't really count as it wasn't followed upon.

Jay Leno? When did this happen.
Also you forgot that one dude from Dinner and a Movie, that show that was on TBS at the time. I remember he was in the ring talking with Mean Gene or someone, talking down about WCW, then he took off his jacket to show an NWO shirt. Then DDP came out and the guy threw some dinner rolls at him. Then DDP gave him the diamond cutter and he was never seen again.

Jay Leno was never part of the nWo, I take it that was the original poster's attempt at trying to say everyone was in the nWo. A lot were, but if he actually watched (which I'm not sure if he did), he'd have seen that a lot of those references were erroneous.

About half of those are wrong.
Rodman: Yes Leno: No
I'm surprised that David Arquette wasn't thrown into that hokey list.

If Boogeyman, Hornswaggle, and Kahli can be members of DX on that criteria, I don't see why Rick Steiner couldn't be in the Wolfpack. It's not like WCW had any continuity that summer anyway. And yeah, Jay Leno was an enemy of the nWo (ugh). He feuded with Eric Bischoff over his Tonight Show monologue. Ugh.

And if we're counting WWF's nWo, Shawn Michaels and Booker T

Booker T. in the nWo was when I officially gave up on the WWF's version. There were three guys you could count on never to go nWo, and those were Ric Flair, DDP, and Booker T. Despite the mad rush to shove guys into the stable, I liked how they did consistently keep some guys away from it.

My god, five years later it makes sense why The Big Show was part of the WWE nWo. How the hell could I forget he was the fourth member of the original? Good lord I feel stupid...
And then also it would mean that there are only three people to be involved in both the nWo and DX:
Rick Rude (whom is the only person to be one of the original members for both the nWo and DX) Syxx/X-Pac (an nWo original and DX 2nd coming member) Shawn Michaels (the WWE version of the nWo and the founding member of DX)

I wouldn't consider them members either, so if he was for one night and it was never mentioned again, I'd probably say no, but to each his own.
