What if the nWo works WrestleMania 35?

#1 A Hall of Fame induction

The original nWo may all join Ric Flair as two-time Hall of Fame inductees.

One last hurrah for The New World Order at WrestleMania may be something like Sting working WrestleMania 31 and Goldberg working a comeback angle that culminated at WrestleMania 33. It’s the kind of angle that cashes in on nostalgia and pays tribute to well established legends of the industry, while also cashing in on those last scraps of interest from old WCW fans who didn’t all come over to WWE—or at least stick with it—after the Monday Night War.

A year after Sting’s WrestleMania match, he headlined the Hall of Fame induction class. Goldberg did the same two years later. It follows that the original now members would get a similar treatment. Like The Four Horsemen, they had a high volume of members over time, and not all of them created equally. Similar to that group, it would make sense for WWE to limit it to a select, identifiable group, and the trio of Hogan, Hall, and Nash would be the most recognizable, sensible choice.

There is the matter of double induction, as all three of the men in question are already inducted. Hogan is certainly the magnitude of star to justify going in twice, like only Ric Flair has before. Hall and Nash are a bit tougher sell in terms of historical magnitude, but the importance of the group may well justify it, besides which it doesn’t hurt that they’re tight with Triple H—one of WWE’s biggest power brokers.
