(March 4th, 2002) What I would have done with the nWo?

At the No Way PPV in the final match of Austin vs. Jericho, the nWo would make their appearance. They would stroll down to the ring destroy both Jericho and Austin causing a DQ.

On Raw the next night I would have X-Pac defend his Light heavyweight Title against Rob Van Dam. During this match Hall, Nash, Hogan would come out to ringside. The nWo would interfere and destroy RVD, X-Pac would revealed to be the forth member of the group and would change his look and name to Syxx on the following Smackdown. (I hate X-Pac but you might as well use him and hopefully being Syxx would help his character.)

This would set up a Syxx/RVD feud for Wrestlemania. RVD would win the Light heavyweight belt at Wrestlemania and maybe bring some interest back to the Lightweight division.

Hall and Nash would then dominate the Tag Team division. I would put not these guys in any other division. I would probably have Tazz and Spike drops the titles to the fan favorite Hardy Boys. This would set up an Outsiders vs. Hardy Boys at Wrestlemania. Despite there efforts the Hardy's would lose, giving the nWo the tag team gold.

After No Way Out I would have Austin or Rock vs. Hogan at Wrestlemania with Hogan winning the bout. I would have Jericho vs. HHH in the Main Event at Wrestlemania with Steph in the corner of Jericho. I would then go one of two ways from here:

1) I would have Jericho beat HHH with the help of Steph. The next night have a rematch between Jericho and HHH for the title, have Hogan and the nWo interfere destroying both men. This would setup a Hogan vs. Jericho vs. HHH at Backlash PPV with Hogan winning the title. Then you could have a feud with HHH and Hogan until King of the Ring where HHH's quest for the title is fulfilled.

2) HHH would beat Jericho at Wrestlemania. Hogan would be granted a title shot at Backlash vs. HHH. Hogan would win the WWF Title at Backlash. The nWo would feud with Rock, Austin, and HHH throughout the summer and finally have a Fatal Four Way Elimination Match at either Summer Slam or even the Survivor Series.

I wouldn't let the group get any bigger than maybe six members at most. I personally think it should be five. Although I know it's a goofy idea but I might give "nWo Kane" a try. Imagine Kane coming to the ring in a new Black & White outfit, and a New Mask. If I did this he would be the nWo Enforcer and unlike his is know, I would make him unstoppable. You could maybe bring him in by having him feud with Hogan at first, until he finally gives in to the poison. If I did this I would put him in the Hardcore or I.C. division.

So I guess I rambled on enough, that's just some of my ideas. Thanks for reading this column. Next week... my Wrestlemania predictions!
