I always contend that nWo having lowlevel goons made them appear cooler. Some of the dopest moments in nitro history involved them swagging to the ring 20 plus deep but that's just my opinion. It did eventually get outta hand after 97 or so, tho

Plus they were at war with the company. Wcw had the largest roster in history. 5-6 dudes vs 40-50 didnt make sense. They needed to appear to have numbers on some level..:manny:

I liked the fact that they had lackey's like vincent. People like bret hart weren't needed, but its good to have non-elite stars for multiple purposes

Bischoff took them to the next level. Buff Bagwell and Scott Steiner were dope too. Scott Norton was expanding the nWo brand in New Japan (dude won the world championship over there). Curt Henning was my nikka. fukk the rest of them nikkas not named Hall, Nash, and Hogan. Syxx was Kliq'd up...but didnt make any impact. Konnan was alright but I could care less about him. I don't consider Bret Hart a member of nWo.

I actually didn't have a problem with all those extra guys being in. It actually made sense for Michael Wallstreet(IRS) and Big Bubba(Big Bossman) to be in since they were WWF guys. Konnan and Buff were cool. There needed to be cannon fodder for Sting to beat up. The NWO became a joke after the fingerpoke of doom and the NWO Elite and B-team in 1999.

The Giant was added so Hogan didn't have to feud with him and take bumps against him. Politic powerplay from the Hulkster brother.
