I know people piss all over stable reforming gimmicks, but seeing as WWE own the rights to a still memorable piece of wrestling that tranferred into the mainstream (and now TNA look like they're having a renaissance with it in everything but name), why not give the nWo another run out in the WWE?
What better way to diffuse the reunion on TNA by having a revamped nWo on their own show? Like how ECW is now the show on Sci-Fi rather than something to be chanted by 'smart' fans.
To make this work they would have to do a few things: make it fresh, make it fun, make the group faces, don't rush it and steal some people from TNA!
I'd have it like this...

I'd have it like this...
{Spoiler} Big Show splits up with Jericho after losing to DX again at Royal Rumble.
February
Week 1: Show turns face. Says that he's the last guy from a group of wrestlers that used to rule the ring and he wants to bring that group back to life.
Here you could have some fun with it - have a promo every week on Show's previous factions... is it The Dungeon of Doom? Is it The Union? Is it the Corporation? Is it the nWo? Is it the Corporate Ministry?
More and more of the nWo music/promo interrupts matches every week. Show has nothing but squash matches - like Beth on Smackdown. Post match he does an interview hinting he's just getting back into shape for when his "buddies" come in to help him set up a new era in WWE history.
March
Randy Orton says he doesn't like the idea of a guy who is 7'2 500lbs having a group to help him out. Says its time for Legacy to take him out.
Legacy ambush Show after a dominant win over Jack Swagger. Just as Orton is about to punt him the MCMG music hits. MCMG hit the ring and fight off Legacy. Show puts up the nWo fingers and MCMG return the favour.
April
Show and MCMG come out wearing nWo shirts. Says he was the last guy in the nWo still in the big time (ouch) so he decided to bring the group back for the new decade.
First feud is nWo (Show/MCMG) vs Legacy.
WrestleMania
nWo beat Legacy but after the match Show gets punted by Orton.
May
Legacy in the ring bragging about ending Show's career. Comes out and confirms he's got a concussion and will be out for a while, so he's drafted in a replacement. Camera zooms out to see RVD standing on the top turnbuckle behind Legacy. He throws up the nWo hands and dropkicks Orton before taking out Ted and Cody.
RVD feuds with Orton while MCMG go into a tag title program with Rhodes/DiBiase.
At this stage Show is the manager/enforcer, but the whole time the announcers play up how one big bump could paralyse him. This would also give him the 'human' edge needed for such a big monster to be a face.
Show says now he's out of the ring he can help the guy he's been training for months to take over as the future of the WWE. Bryan Danielson debuts with Show as his manager.
Show makes the odd special attraction match, but is used only once every other month or so.
nWo 2010 in WWE
Big Show = leader/enforcer
RVD = going for the title
MCMG = tag titles
Danielson = undercard with Show as manager
