How would you rate nWo Wolfpac as a stable using a scale of 1-10 based on these criteria:

-Chemistry
-Impact
-Did the team enhance the profiles of the members and prove beneficial for their career paths?
-Promo Work
-In-Ring Skills

 

[Reality Check]

Probably a 7. Don't think the chemistry was there and having Luger & Sting in it after they spent the better part of 2 years fighting against them seemed forced.

As far as future Tag Team/Stable Requests, here are mine:

Dudley Boys, The Flock/Raven's Nest, Steiner Brothers, The Outsiders, The Shield, Main Event Mafia

 

[Riley Escobar]

7. Konnan was trash

Requests: APA, Nation of Domination, Edge & Christian, Evolution, Filthy Animals, Mean Street Posse, Kronik

 

[Silkk]

Ten

GOAT

 

[Silkk]

Why you got Disco up there? That wack ass nikka wasn't really down

 

[Beautiful Bobby Eatin]

7 and mostly for the theme and Sting's facepaint. Outside of that it was Nash misappropriation of black culture to make money because hip hop was hot. To me the decline started when Savage got injured. And it was over the second the merger (fingerpoke) happened

 

[Mr. Negative]

6. By this time anything NWO was played out to me.

But it's Hall+nash, so it gets 4 extra points from my original rating.

 

[CM_Burns]

Booking could've been better. There should've been a big Wolfpac vs Hollywood Wargames match or something. Or at least the big Hogan vs Nash match.

The members were off at times too. Savage was so anti-Hogan and so crazy that he worked enough, but Luger and Sting didn't fit. Those 2 still made it kind of work though. And Hennig and Rude in the beginning were way out of place.

But they had some fun/big moments in the summer of 98, a great theme and look, and they took Nash to a true superstar level for like 6 months, until they threw it away. This also made Konnan into a star for a while too and was easily his best US run. 8

 

[Buzzed Lightyear]

6.5 because it seemed forced to me.

Requests:
Dangerous Alliance
Steiner Brothers
Faces Of Fear (Meng & The Barbarian)

 

[mrken12]

Let me know if you all would feel better about having these threads on Thursday or if you prefer having two threads on Wednesday (one single, one tag team/stable).

Also let me know if there are any other criteria that should be added to the list.

This group was absolute trash. Didn't make sense at all for them to be a face group, getting cheered on by WCW announcers and picking up Sting & Luger given that the nWo's entire mission and purpose of existence was to takeover WCW. Sting looked horrible like Zack Morris sold him Zit Off, Luger tried too hard to be "hip", Konnan was annoying. Basically, everyone in this group came off as exactly what they were: lame middle-age white men desperately trying to be cool and fit in with hip hop culture. Doesn't help that there was never any real payoff to nWo Hollywood vs. nWo Wolfpac.

How would you rate nWo Wolfpac as a stable using a scale of 1-10 based on these criteria:

-Chemistry: 7. They seemed to be having fun.
-Impact: 5.
-Did the team enhance the profiles of the members and prove beneficial for their career paths?: No. These guys were all on the down slope of their careers when this happened anyway. Maybe the only guy to slightly benefit was Konnan who seemed to be on TV a lot more after joining the Wolfpac even though his place in the card didn't change.
-Promo Work: 4. Too much self-indulgence and too many rambling 20 minute promos.
-In-Ring Skills: 4.

4 overall.

 

[Breh Obama]

Top 5 theme of all time
