- 4 LIFE | The NWO Story (Full Faction Documentary)
There have been a lot of great stables throughout wrestling history. Names like The Four Horsemen, DGeneration-X and The Shield are evidence enough of this. That said, while all these were great and did huge things for their respective companies, perhaps no other collective has ever changed the industry as much as the one first created by Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, and Scott Hall in 1996. Yes, we’re finally looking at the biggest of them all, the one which arguably started the late 90’s boom period and took WCW to previously unseen levels of success, then went a long way towards killing that same company with its own lethal dose of poison just a few years later. So, join us today as we take a deep dive into their entire run from start to finish in 4 Life: The NWO Story.

Thanks for watching, what should we cover in future videos? Also, make sure to drop a like to help get the video picked up by TH-cam’s algorithm 💪🏻👊🏻🤘🏻
You should make WCW from start to finish
Amazing video as always, almost at 200k subscribers!
Can you please do the best old couple tag teams like team hell no Booker t and goldust or Sheamus and Cesaro before they became the bar
If I hear "a lethal dose of poison" one more time 😒😒😒...
Can you do a video on Torrie Wilson, Victoria, Dawn Marie, Maria, Maryse, Jillian, Katie Lea Burchill, Ivory, Molly Holly, Beth Phoneix, Jazz, Jacqueline, Tough Enough Winners or just tough enough in general, & Melina like more Ruthless Aggression People like Shelton Benjamin, Paul London, Renee Dupree, etc.
I give a lot of credit to sting it's hard trying to save WCW while being the lead singer for The Police
😂😂😂😂
Yeah, he had to be careful with every step he took.
😂
He watched every move they made
Lol wtf 😆
It’s so sad wrestling will never be like this again. Mid to late 90’s was such an awesome time in wrestling. It was just awesome.
It really was. Nothing will be like it again.
I agree not the golden age but definitely where it hit it's stride
Very true. The Monday Night Wars was something very special.
That was before we all found out it was fake😂. But it still was legendary.
@@darrellsaewhat50Maybe you didn't lol I guess depends on age. My friends and I all knew it was fake by this point but still thoroughly enjoyed it.
HEY YO!
IT'S WRESTLE WITH ANDY AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!
"Hard work pays off, dreams come true. Bad times don't last, but BAD GUYS do."

RIP to the bad guy 🤘🏻🤘🏻
One more for bad guys
@@WRESTLEWITHANDY the bad guy lives on in all of us
Damn straight!
@@WRESTLEWITHANDYHindsight is 20/20
Fun Fact: Rey Mysterio came up with the idea of being thrown like a dart against the trailer. Kevin Nash was worried he would seriously hurt Rey, but Rey talked him down and convinced him to do it.
The NWO has got to be the greatest faction concept in wrestling history. It completely changed the traditional face/heel (good guy/bad guy) setup that has been the standard since the beginning. Now there was a grey area, and they were basically anti-heros who beat up on anyone, regardless of heel/face status.
No klique is more important than nwo ever.
Bloodline way better
@@sheemalmightyNWO Owns The Bloodline Overrated @Sses. The Blloodline Wouldn’t Have Lasted In WCW. They Would’ve Gotten Destroyed By The Misfits In Action Or Dungeon Of Doom. They Would’ve Been Nothing. Roman Reigns Would’ve Been A Midcarder In WCW For Lyfe. And The USOs & The Other Samoan Would’ve Been Lowercarders. No one Would’ve Taken Them Seriously.

The NWO Would Kill The Bloodline. 👓 NWO Would’ve Made The Bloodline Their Bitch. Bloodline Wouldn’t Even Beat The West Texas Rednecks Nor The First Family.
Compared to N.W.O!!! Lol 🤣
What the fuck is a bloodline? Lol
After Scott Hall left this world 🌎, I don't have any interest in wrestling!!!!! Bloodline, ha I am still laughing!!!!!!!!!!!!
Listen to the kids here! I bet you losers weren’t even alive when back then, much less understand how HUGE the NWO was and how it made fans out of those who did watch wrestling till they came along! The NWO changed the whole landscape and made the WWF also change from its cartoon family friendly style to the attitude era!
I'm so glad that he said "lawndarting Rey Mysterio". I've been describing that moment as lawndarting since forever. It is my most remembered WCW moment ever.
I was born in 1988. I didn't even realize wcw was a thing until the giant vs hogan before the turn. I only started watching regularly when scott hall showed up because i was always a wwf fan. Had hogan not turned people my age would only know hogan from highlights. So happy he turned and I got to watch probably the greatest Era in wrestling because of it.
If Hulk never turned heel, he would have still stuck around and I’m sure been one of the main faces against Hall & Nash’s NWO, where Sting would be the 3rd man.
Hall, Nash & Stings NWO would have been vastly different, probably better lol.
Those of us in the south certainly did, even kids. WCW was a source of pride for us, especially those from Georgia.
This really takes me back. It’s amazing how emotionally invested my friends and I were
In 2002
Nwo debuting at No Way Out was just perfect
The letters of the N.w.O even go wit no way out
Initially I’m like Hogan “ NO!… go away “ but he really needed it . New look gimmick and attitude . Those videos with all that trash being thrown , HEAT . It turned out awesome . Hulk went from go home we hate you to , we want to kill you. Better to be hated than ignored .
People was really mad when hogan turned! One of the greatest heel turns for me! The emotion of the crowd! He definitely needed it!
Hogan went from being the lamest babyface to one of the coolest heels in WCW (still not as cool as Nash or Hall were).
Some of the shots those guys took from fans throwing trash and drinks were absolutely stunning! Getting blasted in the face with a cup full of soda/beer while cutting a promo had to suck.
Thank God they kept him away from his agent and other's because his agent was adement to Hogan turning hill
I think Hollywood Hogan character with more of Hogan's actual personality that's why it works so good for him cuz from all the stories he was an a-hole
The NWO was so groundbreaking and fresh when i first saw the faction watching WCW Nitro as a kid.
It sadly got too bloated and never felt like it had a satisfying ending. Wish Sting had gotten a clean victory over Hogan at Starrcade '97 and that set up the ending of the faction.
Ending the faction in Dec 1997 when it was the reason for the entire companies rise & most successful year ever is the dumbest notion ever. Especially in hindsight considering 1998 was an even more successful year in EVERY regard in large because of nWo. Those that point to Goldberg as the reason for WCW's isuccess n 1998 or naïve bc he didn't become a ratings draw until 2nd quarter of year and arena draw until 3rd quarter. Regardless ending the faction in December 1997 is again the dumbest thing ever. There was still plenty of juice left in it by 1999 and ratings were massive in first quarter of 1999. The mistake was not keeping nWo around longer in 1999 with more compelling storylines/TV. When the nWo was fizzled out in Spring 1999 is when WCW's numbers started to nosedive - people ignore this though bc they simply don't look up what the numbers tell us.
Great vid bro, I miss the 90's. Monday night 1997-2000 was endless hype
It's crazy to think that if Hogan wasn't a selfish S.O.B and Sting won the title fair and square and the nWo ended shortly afterwards, we might still have WCW today. Goes to show how much of an impact one man's decision can have
I always love it when you say "LETHAL DOSE OF POISON" IN McMahon's voice.
So close to 200k you deserve it with all the work you put into these videos keep up the good work.
Appreciate it man, thanks for the support, plenty more videos on the way 🤘🏻💪🏻
@@WRESTLEWITHANDY no worries buddy, I look forward to seeing them.
holy smokes, I honestly thought Andy had at least a million - gotta be the best wrestling docs available.
The NWO, a fantastic concept.
That went on for WAY too long and got WAY too convoluted after awhile.
Starrcade 97 should’ve been the beginning of the end. Sting should’ve won clean and WCW should have united in attacking the nWo, eventually tearing them apart.
Well gimmick worked i was annoyed of nwo i watched it for 2 years till they were done
the most iconic faction in pro wrestling history period
💯
Iconic is a stretch
When you're nWo, you're nWo 4 Life!! 🫲
SHIELD?
This NWO Documentary is Just Too Sweeet! 🤘

I’m in June of 1998 on Peacock with both WCW and WWF and they’re both so much fun to watch. Started in May of 96 with WCW and Jan of 97 with WWF. I have to say, WCW was my favorite but I’m slowly finding myself looking forward to Raw more lately.
You get the full episodes of both on peacock?
@@hiiipowerbass2337 Sure do! All PPV’s as well!
@@hiiipowerbass2337 peacock got everything you need to know about wwe
No you need to go watch reliving the war on wrestling bios its fuckin amazing n he literally starts from the first episode of raw n nitro
@@chindub6563 Why when I can just watch the real thing? I’ve watched reliving the war and it’s a cool concept but from what I remember, he didn’t show any actually footage, just pictures and narration.
Your videos got me back into wrestling, keep up the great work!
NWO the most iconic theme song and the greatest faction of all time, the one that literally changed the landscape of professional wrestling
Facts
What a great time to be a wresting fan, WCW and WWF trying to outdo each other on Monday and Thursday nights was great.
Man that's when Wrestling was FUN to watch, not like the shit that's on now.
Competition is the best thing for business.
Those weeks when it was just Hall and Nash were some of the best times in wrestling for me. Any moment you knew when the crowd was starting to make a commotion it meant Hall and Nash had just shown up and were creating havoc.
I remember rey mysterio getting tossed head first into the production trailer 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@matreyles Larry Zbyszko's comment that Nash threw him like he was a dart is one of the funniest things ever said on Nitro. 🤣
Your vid’s helped respark my love for wrestling, keep it up man!
Awesome, appreciate your support bro, hope you enjoy the vid 💪🏻🤟🏻👊🏻🎉
You should watch Wrestling Bios. “Reliving The War” every Thursday.
@@carter3369 after I found this channel I started listening to wrestling bios too, both these channels helped broaden my view on the wrestling world
haha same thing for me :D with Wrestling Bios
Like the commentary in your videos so far! You give strong wrestling bios vibes!
That's 1 More For The Bad Guys
-Scott Hall
Love the way you put videos together very informative. Question: why are some parts blurred out?
Great vid! Really pretty damn insightful about the things I never really hear enough wrestling fans discussing across the TH-cam community...namely the significance & nuances regarding the connection between the Kliq, the NWO, & DX.
Amazing amazing video! Thank you so much! You did a fantastic job!
I been waiting on this!
Andy, thanks for putting out these great documentaries. They are so easy to watch and I love the archival footage. You have a great narrative voice too.
Your content is very entertaining and makes my day!
Wrestle With Andy doing a nWo video is just....TOO......SWEEEEEET!!!🤘
Most ICONIC theme music of all time!!!!!!! The NWO is solely responsible for making watching wrestling cool in school growing up before them wrestling was hardly ever talked about at school 🤘🏽 #TooSweet
i use it for my onlyfans porn videos
Imagine how dope it would have been if they had the real song with Hendrix singing.
Licensing fees are wildly expensive though.
Bryan Danielson got his “Final Countdown” theme at Forbidden Door 23’ and said the fee for that one night was worth a wrestler’s contract.
So safe to say at least $100k per play.
Yes all of a sudden everyone was watching rasslin all the kids that used to give me hell cause I loved wrestling so much now thought it was cool 😂
Great video Andy! Yeah i got nwo fatigue when the roster got too big. Too much of a good thing can be bad
Love your vids dude! So much nostalgia
14:30 let me see it
I watched WCW first.. And would watch WWF during commercials.. Gradually it became the other way around until eventually I wouldn't even turn to Nitro during Raw's commercial break.
Having said that.. Goldberg beating Hogan for the belt on Nitro is *still* my all time favorite moment/match from my wrestling fan days. I still watch it from time to time and it still gives me goosebumps.. 12 year old me was *so* pumped when Goldberg speared him.. I'll never forget that night!
I still remember when Scott appeared on Nitro. I was a kid and was like what’s Razor Ramon doing and what wrestling show is this? Gotta admit, it revolutionized pro-wrestling forever.
This is an awesome documentary! Can you do a documentary about The New Day as your next faction?
Still my favourite faction of all time. The cool factor mixed with star power! Will never be topped
Thanks, Andy.
4-Life/2-Sweet! hope we get something on Hogan next (Can i get links to the music you used?)
Awesome Video😎😎😎💎💎💎
That was a great explanatory documentary. I recently watched an Eric Bishoff interview part of the downfall. When WCW changed its direction.
30 minutes of Nwo.. It shows how much good this faction was from 1996-1998. You can't deny they are one of the best and had the best heel turns in history imo should have been a better faction if WCW didn't bought by Vince in 2001 they should had been the ones (least scott hall ) to end the reign of terror in 2002 and should had sparked a new Era during that time but its just my opinion
If it wasn't for NWO there would be no Stone Cold or Rock.
I grew up with Hogans Hulkamania and Mega Powers phase, my dad was just a fan of wrestling in general; I still remember how we both jumped up with a big NOOOOOOOO when we saw Hulk preparing his leg-drop for Machoman, absolute and pure disbelief 😳😱
I recently saw the videos of when they created it and I can't help but remember that Hulk Hogan said that they were going to end everything, and it literally was like that
Scott halls taunt at the end is excatly what I do everytime I clock out at work
That was Too Sweet
NWO will always be the coolest faction of all time!
I missed bash at the beach at 1996, as we drove into holidays at that time. That was such an impotortant event. Greetz from Germany
I loved the nWo! My three favorite wrestlers all together in one group! I have tons of nWo merchandise and even attended the nWo reunion. nWo 4 Life!
Amazing video
Appreciate it bro, thanks for watching 🤘🏻💪🏻
Still have the NWO shirt from the 90's era and it is still new...Great video
Amos N Wilson Garveyism and the NW0
Being a fan of NWO is just too sweeeeeet🤘 R.I.P SCOTT HALL. We miss you a lot.
I agree, Scott Hall was my favorite wrestler ever!!! Rip 🙏 Razor!!!
RIP Scott hall
Absolutely!!! Rip 🙏 Razor, he was absolutely the best!!!@
i remember watching these guys staying up until 2am on a school night monday watching wwe and wcw nitro i even went to a local wcw show and got an nwo shirt.
This was my child hood.
I remember this. Seeing hulk turn heel was unfathomable for my ten year old mind.
When you gave Hogan credit i died a bit
Great work but you forgot syxx departure to dx and hogan's beef with russo.
The original NWO in 1996-1997 was better than the WWE version in 2002 especially when Shawn michaels Joined which didn't make sense outside of the fact the Shawn michaels is friends with Kevin Nash Triple H joining would've been very interesting that would've been better than The Reign of Terror IMO
Though Shawn is one of my faves, you are right. Shawn would've made sense, if we looked at Shawn in 1997 (minus the strip poker).
So true. The original version was so cool in 1996 and 1997. The 2002 version sucked.
That literally goes without saying tho
@@mugabi9502 FACTS😂.
Who would even debate that ? & as for the reign of terror, the one good thing to come out of it was evolution. Unlike nwo it actually had a payoff with randy & batista becoming superstars once it was all over.
Man, witnessing tat whole NWO saga firsthand back then was glorious! It’ll never be topped…4 life 🎉
GREAT Breakdown
Well-done
I was there all the way from day one....best times ever 1997/1998
It started in May 1996 not 1997
@@My19812011
yeah my bad
I was listening to the "83 weeks" podcast the other day and Eric Bischoff said that Jeff Farmer continued the "bogus Sting" gimmick in Japan for years after WCW folded.
The Diamond Stud (Hall) & Oz (Nash) were teaming up back in '91
its crazy to thiunk that scott hall was the first to come in and the one treated as last. RIP Scott Hall
Nwo had its ups and downs but mostly ups. Not only did they shock the wrestling world and gave something fresh and cool for the late 90s youths but this group also helped many careers. For starters it gave Hogan a fresh new start after the overstayed persona of Hulkamania into a heel role never seen before. Then it gave some midcard wrestlers who seemed to be going nowhere a brand new gig and eventually popularity like Buff and K dawg. Also Scott Steiner who's been in a tag team for the longest time was now given an opportunity to go solo and reinvent himself as Big poppa. Of course every good thing must come to an end and pretty much the Nwo elite was the final straw.
R I P toooooooo sweeeeeet bros 4 life Scott Hall and Kevin Nash the outsiders my favorite tag team in wrestling.
Nwo 4 life
🤘🏻🤘🏻
Too sweet
🤘🏻🤘🏻
No doubt one of the best factions and one of the best people in the faction Mr perfect , Hulk Hogan etc no doubt they are one of the best but that's just my opinion
Taking a class on "How the WCW Leadership Got the nWo Invasion Pulled Off" ... would be the most entertaining course in business school ever.
12:00 Crow character
The greatest gang in all of wrestling, for a time I thought that no one could stop them.
Hey Andy I have a question what happened to your WWF vs WCW and ECW invasion video please respond.
Can't believe i didn't c it coming when Hulk wasn't on team WCW...he wasn't on tv at the time but it was announced on commentary to include his name to volunteer for team WCW but wasn't announced for said team...i missed the ppv but the next day in school (summer school) a couple of friends saw it and informed me my hero was the 3rd man!!! I could not believe it!! And my friends didn't seem to care!! I was like WTF i need to c this and on WCW Saturday night the announcers sounded like someone died...then the replay was aired i finally saw it in all its glory it was awesome i LOVED Hollywood Hogan!!! And if im not mistaken Sting is the one who named Hulk Hogan as Hollywood Hogan said he was no longer the immortal one...and told him to stick it!! The lines were drawn and i was nWo 4 LIFE!!!
Nwo for life, Andy
🤘🏻4 Life 🤘🏻
There is the miz, story __ ok but where is the hulk hogan and vince mcmahon, story???.
I waited this entire video for “too SWEET” to get interjected in, I was cracking up a lot of nostalgia
I remember all this like it was yesterday!!!! I wish wrestling could go back to this style and these characters!!!! It’s nothing like this now! And it’s so crazy to think I remember when wcw was bigger than wwf, and then something changed and raw took over everything and nitro went down hill quickly there after but nitro was so sick while it lasted!!!!!! So sick!!!!
What happen was DX..and Stone cold Steve Austin.. and the Rock.

4:00 Scott Hall had used those mannerisms when at WCW prior to going to WWF, as Diamond Studd.
Where is the proof
@@omalone1169 He's stated it in shoot interviews himself. You are welcome to look for Diamond Studd matches.
6:00. NO NO NO. Larry Zbyszko came up with the name when announcing, "they are the new order of wrestling", just an improv. Bischoff liked it, and they adopted the moniker.
I thought it all started to fall apart when they started recruiting all the new members. Some where great like the Giant (good to have another big man on the team) but when they started just adding members like they didn't even care if the new members had talent that's when they lost me. To many members lead to well CHAOS!!
Less is more...
I was so lucky to have been old enough to watch The NWO come to life. God I miss these days so much. Hogan turning heel was a moment you just can't understand unless you were there.
You should do a documentary about the bullet club
When sting went into the crow character and stood in the raptors was amazing. Cant forget about the bogus sting .... One day Larry zabisco said why do we call him bogus sting lets call him Stink
Hollywood hogan’s theme music is still 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
My favourite team when it comes to wrestling in general will always be the NWO with Hollywood Hogan , Scott Hall and Kevin Nash. 🙂
16:30 when I started watching
at the time the fans didn't know Hogan was a heel early in his career....so to the majority of fans seeing him turn heel was a new thing to them........I already knew he had been a heel in WWWF when Vince Sr was in charge..with Freddie Blassie as his manager. so Hogn turn heel to join the NWO was not a suprise to me.
I cant stop laughing at nash tearing his quad lol. Why was he trying to run ?? 🤣
Thank you
I was in high school during the start of the NWO period, kids today just don’t understand how HUGE this was! Overnight everyone was a wrestling fan and everyone was wearing those black NWO shirts. It was also a huge source of pride for those of us from Georgia, knowing all of this was coming from Atlanta was just amazing for us! I’d give anything to relive those days.
13:40 Heel authority
Could you please do a video on the Blue World Order that would be peachy
Did anybody else see the video going blurry around 23:45-24:00? And again at around 27:40
Very good
As popular as this faction usually is, it’s never going to erase the fact they were victims of their own success.
Hogan turning heel at that time was brilliant. Almost as brilliant as the build up to the heel turn of Ole on Dusty. The 2 greatest heel turns of all time. The only bad thing was that too many NWO factions. That took away the appeal. The other genius move was turning Stinger into the mysterious Crow character.
When u gonna do a Nation of Domination video???
19:27 Holy cow just noticed he's wearing an old school Buffalo Sabres hockey jersey with the goathead taken off it lol
Imagine if Scott Hall and Kevin Nash had not been in the Editing Room when producers and editors edited the very first Hogan video taped promo.
I remember hearing a story from Hall and Nash, that Hogan’s promo was the absolute worst Heel Promo of all time, and if Hogan pulled his Creative Control card the NWO would have failed before it even started.
You actually aren't wrong!!! Rip 🙏 Scott Hall, but he even said he had to convince and show Hogan how to be a heel, because Hogan hadn't been one forever!!!! Rip 🙏 Razor
