10 wrestlers who should be in an nWo Revival.

The videos teases have begun, and the nWo is set to return in some capacity. Here are ten WWE wrestlers who should don the black and white.

It began in the days when kayfabe still ruled wrestling, and fans were never sure how much of what they were seeing was a performance and how much was grounded in reality.

When Scott Hall, and then Kevin Nash 'invaded' Monday Nitro, the wrestling world sat up and took notice. After all, the two men had just gotten off WWE runs where they had played larger than life comic book characters, Diesel and Razor Ramon. Upon their entry into WCW, they were appearing largely as themselves and using their real names.

This lent the nWo an air of legitimacy lacking in many other heel factions of the era. Instead of silly or extreme groups like the Dungeon of Doom, the nWo would be a stripped down, 'realistic' depiction of wrestling bad guys.

Then Hulk Hogan was revealed to be the mastermind behind the movement, and both the fandom and media turned their attention toward WCW. The legendary hero was now a bad guy for the first time since before the Rock and Wrestling days.

The nWo angle would single-handedly change the wrestling landscape, and lead to WCW nearly putting WWE out of business. Of course, it was allowed to go on far too long, and ironically probably helped drive WCW into bankruptcy when management refused to let it go when its time was up.

Part of the reason the nWo fizzled after a time is because of the lower tier wrestlers allowed to join. Men like Vincent and Bryan Adams, who were recognizable to wrestling fans but not major stars, were added to the roster. Then there were the men like Ted Dibiase and Rick Rude, whose wrestling days were behind them but still acted in concert with the nWo. The membership became too sprawling, too diluted, and uninteresting.

But if the WWE is going to bring the supergroup back in some capacity--which it seems as if they are--it might behoove them carefully select new members. After all, Hogan's age and health make an in ring return unlikely. Likewise, Kevin Nash's numerous surgeries and Scott Hall's many years of substance abuse mean that they most likely won't be used in a wrestling capacity either. For the nWo to succeed in a new incarnation, they will need new blood, current WWE wrestlers who fit the bill for what the nWo stands for.

Here are ten wrestlers who should join the new nWo.

---

#1.John Cena--as a heel.

What really sold the nWo was Hogan's involvement. His heel turn after spending the previous decade as the patriotic children's hero was both shocking, memorable, and perfectly timed.

For the new incarnation of the nWo to truly succeed, they need another figure like Hogan. If you look at the parallels between John Cena and Hulk Hogan, they are numerous and profound. Cena IS the Hogan of the 2000s, for all intents and purposes, and a heel Cena (Hollywood John Cena?) would cement the new nWo as a force to be reckoned with.

#2. Drew McIntyre

In order to fulfill Kevin Nash's role in the nWo, you need a big man who is still handsome enough to appeal to the female portion of the crowd.

For this role we humbly submit the Scottish Smasher Drew McIntyre. He has both the ability and the charisma to take the new nWo to the next level.

#3. Dolph Ziggler

The nWo counted among its members Curt Hennig, perhaps one of the greatest technical wrestlers who ever lived. In terms of charisma, ability, and even appearance Dolph Ziggler could perform this role in the new nWo.

Ziggler is that rare athlete who appeals to both the masses and the wrestling purists. His presence on a new nWo would legitimize the faction and prove that it's more than just catchphrases and t-shirts: It's about wrestling.

#4. Nia Jax

The original nWo featured only Miss Elizabeth as a female representative, and she was not a wrestler.

However, the times have changed. The women's evolution continues, and a new nWo should absolutely include a few women in its ranks. Nia Jax has the power, the presence, and the charisma to fulfill this role quite handsomely. Plus, her character seems to work better as a heel than babyface.

#5. Randy Orton

In order to fulfill Scott Hall's role in the nWo, you need a big, experienced wrestler who has a kind of bad boy reputation/vibe.

There's no better fit for this than Randy Orton. Like Hall was in 1995, he's a ten plus year veteran of the sport who sometimes acts like a frat boy instead of a married father. Randy's bad boy reputation and consummate skill and prestige make him a good fit for the new nWo.

#6. Braun Strowman

The Giant (Big Show) was one of the nWo's biggest--literally--acquisitions. Who better to fulfill his role in the nWo than the current most popular 'big man' in pro wrestling.

Braun Strowman would be an ideal enforcer for the new nWo, taking on whole teams with ease.

#7. Ruby Riott and Sarah Logan

If you're looking for the female equivalent of the Outsiders, look no further than this duo.

Riott has one of the most unique looks in women's wrestling, and tremendous strength. Logan has wrestled extensively on the international level and is known for both her technical ability and toughness. If the WWE goes ahead and starts it's women's tag team division, these two could dominate the title scene as part of the nWo.

#8. The Usos

If you're looking for a team that mixes sensational action with that bad boy attitude so prevalent in nWo members, you'll find that the Usos fit the bill.

They have always been tremendous wrestlers, but turning heel has turned them into compelling characters as well. From poking fun at Xavier Wood's social media misadventures to delivering solid super kicks to their opponent's chins, the Usos would do well in the new nWo. Plus, they already have a black and white color scheme to their ring gear.

#9. Paul Heyman

Eric Bischoff was the evil spokesman for the original nWo, and often used his backstage stroke to keep the members out of trouble and guarantee they wore the title belts as often as possible.

Paul Heyman would be superb as the nWo's spokesman. It's the only manager gig that would not feel like a step down after being Brock Lesnar's advocate for so long. Paul Heyman's diatribes alone would make the new nWo worth watching.

#10. Shinsuke Nakamura

In order to make the nWo seem truly like an international phenomenon, Masahiro Chono and the Great Muta were added to the line up as part of nWo Typhoon, the Japanese segment of the faction.

If you're looking for international wrestling stars with the toughness, charisma, and credibility to be in the new nWo, look no further than Shinsuke Nakamura. He has been playing the heel role to the hilt, and is one of the best pure wrestlers WWE has on their roster.
