nWo WWE was worse. And that's saying a helluva lot considering nWo 2000 was a Russo creation.

NWO 2000
At least NWO WWE had Hall, Nash and Hogan and would have expanded if Nash didn't get injured.

nWo WWE.
There was a lot more potential in the initial nWo 2000 storyline. You had Bret Hart as the leader, which was exciting and fresh at the time. The first Nitro after the nWo reformed was pretty damned entertaining, with Scott Steiner doing his retirement fake-out and the nWo raising general havoc that they hadn't done in storylines since 1996.
The problem was that fate just wouldn't have it. Bret was concussed the night before the storyline began and would have to bow out a month into it. Scott Hall got drunk or said the wrong thing and was suspended. Vince Russo, the creative force behind the stable, was removed from power. Kevin Nash got injured a month later. Scott Steiner decided to shoot on the company and was suspended. Scott Hall came back but then got drunk and was never seen again. To keep the stable afloat they added the Harris Brothers.
At least the intentions behind nWo 2000 were solid: Do the nWo right one final time and then have WCW properly defeat them. I'm not sure what the WWF's plans for the nWo were, besides quickly burning through every new WCW toy they now had access to.

nWo 2000 is what literally made me stop watching WCW for good. I mean it; I never turned Nitro on again after that episode. I was so snorkin' sick of the nWo by then and thought that, for all of 1999 WCW's problems, at least the nWo was in the past. And then, there it pops up again. I just about had a fit.

Meh, after the initial juice the WWE version was far and away the most horrible version of the nwo. It got watered down worse than NWO B-squad in wcw and then just when it's gonna get interesting again (HBK) they kill it

NWO 2000. At least NWO WWE had potential and NWO vs Austin/Rock and running crazy in WWE was something fans had been looking for since 1996 (WWE VS WCW/NWO). NWO had run it';s course by 2000 in WCW and was burned out by the time they got started with no real reason to be there backing them. Unfortunately NWO WWE was booked (much like the original Invasion storyline) very poorly compared to what they could have done with them NWO VS a newly formed D.X for instance..

The Wheel of Fortune killed both dead. I mean, Hogan, Nash, and Hall versus the Rock and Austin at Wrestlemania is at least on Paper a good idea. And NWO Silver, well, why the Hell not? Even if you sell some more t-shirts, at least it was a bunch of WWE guys everyone could take seriously. So both were struck down by the manos of fate.

Though one thing I feel about nWo 2000 that was a disadvantage is that the way the original nWo had been booked that WCW fans maybe didn't give it a chance either.

nWo WWE frustrated me. It began really well when they came as a threat to the top two stars of the company then later became just another run in the mill faction.

nWo 2000 = Kevin Nash (insta-injury) Bret Hart (injured) Scott ALCO-Hall Jeff Jarrett (insta-injury at that time) Harris Boys forgot anyone (injured Scott Steiner?)? need I say more?

I just realized that nWo WWE was pretty much The Clique at the end.

My Pick, the nWo WWE. And i'll tell you why.
Vince McMahon didn't want to share his power with Ric Flair. After being embarrassed and humiliated by him once again, he's had enough. So he figured if he can't run his company the way he sees fit...no one will. And so he decided to inject a lethal dose of poison into his creation in the form of...the nWo.
The group had one mission and one mission only. To destroy the WWF, pick off its stars one by one starting with The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin. Hollywood Hogan, Scott Hall, and Kevin Nash raised hell and put on a lengthly feud leading into that Wrestlemania where it was Icon v.s Icon, Rock v.s Hogan. Meanwhile Hall was having a war with Stone Cold Steve Austin. Austin beat Hall while Rock beat Hogan. It was after that where the nWo turned on Hogan for dropping the ball, launching him into a full fledged face turn.
Thats when it all went downhill.
To occupy Hogan's spot, they filled in X-Pac who joined his two wolfpac buddies. And so, The Band was back together. Until Hall once again got drunk and got fired. And so..what makes little sense as possible..Ric Flair becomes a (unofficial) member of the nWo. The same company that made his life a living hell in WCW were now his allies in his war against Stone Cold. Soon, Big Show was added into the equation and later Booker T...who had NO history with the nWo...(Well, his brother did join it in WCW. But he brought Goldust along as his groupie, wanting to join the nWo which made the group look like a joke.) And so the pac were arguing over leadership until Kevin Nash returned from his 103394th injury and assumed leadership, saying that he'll be damned if the nWo self destructs because of their inability to make the group fearsome. So with Big Daddy Cool back in the saddle, its smooth sailing for The Band, Right?
Wrong.
Nash makes a surprise saying there would be a new member of the nWo..his old buddy and former (kayfabe) boss, Shawn Michaels. Now things were getting interesting. Soon, Booker T was kicked out of the nWo for stealing their spotlight. The nWo looked strong, but they were missing someone..their old blood brother, Triple H. They gave him an ultimatum, either rejoin the Kliq..or get taken out permanently.
But before we can see if HHH would go back with his old friends, Nash who got off the injured list went BACK on the list in the same night by tearing his quad which would put him on the shelf for almost a year. Meanwhile, X-Pac faints at an airport and is later released, leaving Show and HBK as the only remaining members of the nWo. It was then where Vince came out and declared the nWo was finished.
..And thats how I think the nWo WWE was the worst one of all.

nWo WWE for me. It just had a bittersweet feeling how bad their run was in WWE. nWo 2000 was too much of a "blink and you'll miss it" moment as I think the group only lasted about a month or so.

I think if someone were to actually document and list everything that happened with nWo 2000 they will find that it was worse. I remember in the end it was just Jeff Jarrett and the Harris Twins.
