#5 Scott Hall & Kevin Nash: 2002 - 2003
With ratings starting to take a bit of a decline, WWE decided to go up a level and bring WCW's most successful angle to WWE, the nWo.
And for a while, it seemed like it would be a success too. Where the angle had eventually become boring in WCW thanks to adding so many members, WWE brought it back with its original three core members, Hollywood Hulk Hogan, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash in 2002.
Hogan would instantly take in the loudest cheers in every arena, even upstaging The Rock at WrestleMania, and would even defeat Triple H for his 6th WWE Championship at Backlash. The same kind of success did not follow for Scott Hall and Kevin Nash, however, not even close.
It all mounted up to May, when Scott Hall would be fired for his conduct during the UK tour. As for Kevin Nash, he had nagging injuries upon his return and only wrestled two matches before it was decided to keep him out of the ring until he was fully healed. Immediately upon returning to action in July, Nash suffered a quadriceps tear in his first match back and would be out of action until April 2003.
When Nash returned to TV, he feuded with Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship until he left TV after SummerSlam 2003, and wouldn't be seen again in WWE until 2011. Nash only had one really entertaining match during his comeback, with Triple H at UK PPV Insurrextion 2003.
This was a case of both poor performance and bad booking. The duo were unable to replicate Hogan's success back in the WWE and slowly faded away along with the nWo storyline in tow.
