[Big Daddy Bad Booking]

At least when DX reformed 12483493843984579345679834 times, they got a pop and didn't make a company go down hill.

That's right, we all hated Chyna!

Oh puhlease. Nobody was interest in DX at the beginning and it was only because of Austin/McMahon winning the ratings battle that anyone ever cared at all.

NWO was arguably one of the most significant angles in wrestling history and the pre-cursor to Austin/McMahon in many ways.

If you're comparing at the height of their popularity, it has to be the NWO. DX struck gold with the invasion of Atlanta, but the NWO had more compelling television when fans were guessing who was going to join next and who would be the one to save WCW.

I cared. Yeah NWO kicked ass. But I had much more fun watching HBK bringing out a midget Bret Hart and DX kicking the crap out of Foley and Funk in a cage match.

The nWo was definitely, definitely more over than DX.

The nWo was a companywide storyline that involved every major main event wrestler. ANYONE who was over was either in the nWo or fighting the nWo (and getting over huge as a face just because they were fighting the nWo).

DX were a midcard stable during the major heyday of the Attitude era, and whenever they were involved in main event storylines they eventually took a backseat (ie. McMahon-Helmsely Era, or Triple H/Cactus feud). They were over, but they weren't the main focus of the company and they didn't drive almost every storyline for two years like the nWo.

Granted, the nWo's various "reunions" always ended up being really weak, but so did DX's. DX's last run was as lame as the nWo's WWE run, for sure.

nWo '96-97 would beat any DX period in my view.

[Citizen Snips]

nWo by a country mile.

When it came to the NWO, viewers were confused, but intrigued. ;D

Fortunately, Gerald Brisco showed up to kick the nWo in the dirt to show them not to mess with Vince Mac-Mahon.

The NWO without debate. The NWO was a product and born of arguably one of the biggest moments in the history of modern professional wrestling when Hogan turned heel. Yes, the NWO became confusing with do many variations as time went on but the original NWO is superior to DX. Not to mention in a faction wargame type match I would say the original NWO would have destroyed DX easily.

[xwhatx]

the nwo hands down end of question man those pops were all legit andn you had peeps wanting to be in the illumanti from grade school down to your local kinkos. it was a big part of the attitude era and brought in a whole lot of fans because of their interest in unraveling the mystery behind the fallen hulkster brother. even though they didnt have the attitude trademark, them being in competition with wwe caused some of the style to rub off andn i consider it maybe just as important as SCSA for the time period.

my favorite is how it used to get all sloppy on wcw saturday night and someone like disco inferno would be really blowing a match, then he'd just wave in the troops and like 14 guys would come running down to the ring running over the backstage agents and giving the ref a wedgie while flashing mock gang signs and creating imagery that was capable of offending any organized syndicate within the past hundred years by mocking their existence. i swear those guys had the "we push meth on motorcycles" gimmick but it was mixed and retarted with like 5 other condradicting things.

oh yeah, i also like how that whenever the nwo would interfere in a goldberg match...there wouldnt be a dq, but instead goldberg would DEFEAT anyone in the ring and pin them for three after a spare ref ran down the ring for a count. then schiavone would embelish his streak with emphasis of dick vitale combined with smiles of the chesire cat and say OMFG 131-0, 132-0, 133-0. considering each of those pins stemming from the interference a victory was f***ing garbage if you ask me but a good way to make the streak seem more impressive. i swear it happened like that and if not i was just high and i dont even know what im sayin.

The NWO drew an insane amount of money in WCW; that's the benchmark for over-ness. Their whole deal before it was watered down carried the company for almost 2 years and rose it to prominence. DX was always an enjoyable stable and produced some of the WWF's most memorable skits and angles, but it was a big cog in a huge machine. NWO was basically THE cog

[machinegun]

NWO by a mile

[Dean-o]

nWo...without it you could forget WCW ever kicking WWE's butt for a number of years.

[Deleted]

NWO, not even close.

NWO made a lot of people watch wrestling that normally would never have cared. DX? Might have gotten a few but nowhere near NWO's scale.

[GaTechGrad]

new new new new new new new new new World Order... for life

[Thats Misstah Joe Baroni to u!]

NWO=American wrestlings second boom period. One of the greatest angles ever.

DX=NWO rip off armed with childish dick and fart jokes.


Only the markiest of WWE marks would even think DX was better.
