What irritates me about the nWo angle is that wcw had two chances to successfully moved forward from there cash cow. They could have ended it with Sting at Starrcade, but glad it didn't end there. I don't think Goldberg would have gotten over without the boringness of the nWo at the top of the card. Instead of Goldberg winning the title at Nitro I would have extended his earning of the title shot beyond just Scott Hall. Hogan could have forced him to go through the entire nWo. After he burns through the nWo Goldberg forces Hogan to disband the nWo If he loses at bash at the Beach. Hogan gets crushed in 5 mins and the nWo is over at the same place it started.

Well, if I'm booking it, there is no Wolfpack, LWO, ect. Sting wins easily against Hogan, and virtually goes through the entire NWO to do it. Sting then ends up feuding with the NWO for the next 6 months, and beating them all. Meanwhile, Hogan is slowly positioned as a face, and eventually it is Sting/Luger/Macho vs Hogan/Hall/Nash in a cage match for Stings title, Luger's Career,Savage's career and the fate of the NWO. Sting goes over Hogan, and the NWO disbands. The next night, Nash/hall beat Hogan down, and Hogan is stretchered out. this is as close to what i would like to have seen happen. Sting should have one clean and then the NWO should have started falling apart.

Looking back....I must say, the fall of WCW is one of the saddest stories in wrestling. Even on their last broadcast, they STILL had more talent than TNA does now. If only Bischoff had been able to buy WCW.... Oh and I agree, everyone else always seems to say "Keep NWO with only Hogan Hall and Nash. Sting beats them at Starcade 97, and thats the END of the NWO. Never see them again."Sure Sting should have won clean, but REALISTICALY, the NWO was too big and powerful to just disapear and stop functioning. It must have a downfall. Maybe like others say, there is a struggle for power. BTW....the corporate/ministry also ended pretty lackluster as well. TBH....I would have kept them seperate. I disagree with keeping the nWo at Hogan, Hall, and Nash, it had to grow into something that seemed powerful and unstoppable. The problem was, it got TOO powerfull and unstoppable, and had WAAAAAYY too many members. The "join us, or we'll beat you up" mentality was good at first, but at some point, it NEEDED to crumble. I mean, their mission was to take over WCW and WCW's main stars such as Ric Flair, Lex Luger, Sting, DDP, and Goldberg and many others should've stood up to them and not let them take over their company and prove that WCW dosen't suck. The way it was booked, it makes the casual fan think "Hmmmm, maybe WCW really does suck". So in essence, you are burying WCW in a backstage AND kayfabe sense. Thats my beef with it.

Hogan signs a contract that declares that the NWO would get final control over WCW if they win a tag match vs. two WCW guys. If they lose, the NWO has to disband. Sting and Goldberg have a tag match against Hogan and Nash (the reunified NWO made when Wolfpac/NWO rejoined). They win the match cleanly and destroy all the NWO who keep running into the ring to avenge the defeat of Hogan and Nash. Sting and Goldberg stand in the middle of the ring with their arms raised, towering over all the fallen NWO bodies. At the beginning of the next show, a recap is played and the announcers talk about the "final defeat of the NWO". The NWO never appears as a group on WCW programming again.
I don't care if it makes the NWO look bad, the faces always win the feud and the heels always ultimately have to lose. Its just the way wrestling works.

I would have been fine with a properly executed main event at Starrcade '97 ending it. This. Although I'd first have Sting beat Hogan in a short rematch before beating Hall (the first member of the nWo) and the Giant beating and "injuring" Kevin Nash. The group loses face with Hogan, abandons him, and they stay off TV for a few months before crawling back to WCW--most remaining heels.

I also would've built up The Flock as the new top heel group.

Probably been mentioned already, but at Fall Brawl '98, in War Games its Sting, Goldberg, DDP, Luger & Flair vs. Hall, Nash, Hogan, Scott Steiner & Bret Hart. WCW wins & the nWo disbands.

Wargames 98: It should have been built up as Wolfpac vs. Black and White vs. WCW.
The whole PPV could of been a round robin tournament, with everything coming to a conclusion in the Wargames match.
If the Black and White lost, it would essentially be the death of the NWO. The Red and Black and WCW would come together on the next Nitro, with Konnan, Hall, and Nash keeping the group name Wolfpac but nothing more.
Sting and Luger would of even been able to save face, by having it be the plan to kill the NWO the whole time.
Hogan might have been even talked into this, remember he was doing his re-contract talking and took months off for his "presidential" run shortly after this. So if Hogan was kept off tv for a few months, he could of came back in 99' as a baby face and get an immediate title run to his happiness.
