#3 nWoverload!
On July 7, 1996, roughly 8,500 fans inside of the Daytona Beach Ocean Center Arena, as well as millions of fans watching via pay-per-view, witnessed one of the most pivotal moments in professional wrestling history when Hulk Hogan did the unthinkable and made the heel turn heard around the world.
It was the 1996 WCW Bash at the Beach when Hogan ventured into the dark side and the infamous New World Order of professional wrestling was born.
The nWo would go on to be one of the most, if not the most reckless and dominate faction of all-time. Week after week fans watched as Hollywood Hogan led the black-and-white attack as they destroyed everything in their path. It was truly one of the most exciting and intense times in all of wrestling history.
As the nWo evolved, more and more members jumped ship from team WCW, over to the nWo. At first, it made for fantastic television. However, the angle reached a point when it seemed as if there were more nWo members than there were just average WCW stars. Essentially, the nWo outgrew its limits, so-to-speak. What was once fun, provocative and exciting television had now turned into a circus where everyone and their dog had joined the nWo.
Had they kept things to a minimum, or at least not thrown all the WCW roster into either the original nWo or the Wolfpac, then maybe things wouldn't have burnt out the way they did.
