The
New World Order (commonly known as the
nWo, the official typeset in the
logo) was a
professional wrestling stable that originally wrestled for
World Championship Wrestling (WCW). The group later appeared in
World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) after the purchase of WCW by WWE.
The stable's
gimmick was a group of unsanctioned wrestlers aiming to "take over" and control WCW in the manner of a
street gang; the group's seven initial members had each gained fame in the rival
World Wrestling Federation, although this connection was only implied.
The nWo
angle was one of the most influential forces in the late 1990s success of WCW, and was instrumental in turning mainstream American wrestling back into a more mature, adult-oriented product. The brainchild of WCW Executive
Eric Bischoff, and fueled initially by the unexpected
heel turn of
Hulk Hogan, the nWo storyline is generally considered one of the most successful angles in the history of modern-day professional wrestling, spawning several imitations and parodies. It dominated WCW programming throughout the late-1990s and almost until the dissolution of WCW in 2001, during which time there were several, sometimes rival incarnations of the group; the rival
WWF even resurrected the angle for a time in 2002.
