HBGOAT and RAW beat Nitro in the ratings until the NWO formed, that's true
this is FALSE.
nitro won most of the ratings wars before the NWO.
the NWO forming is when they started blowing the WWF out the box.
Im talking about when they were hired. When hall and Nash were hired from wwe they did not draw and got those crazy ass contracts and instantly were very powerful in the company.
the outsider angle was an instant SMASH.
I don't see HBK having that effect.
then add the fact that they linked up with Hogan.
also, while the roster was already loaded when they came thru, it was overloaded by the time HBK would've possibly signed there.
