5 Superstars who left WWE fans stunned by joining a faction

#1 WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan is revealed as the third man of nWo

nWo is one of the most influential stables in history

Back in 1996, former WWE Superstars Scott Hall and Kevin Nash made their way to WCW and announced that they were here to wage a war against the promotion. The duo took on Randy Savage, Sting, and Lex Luger in the main event of WCW Bash at the Beach, with the third mystery member nowhere to be seen. In the end, Hulk Hogan of all people came out and joined hands with Hall and Nash, thus turning heel in the process.

Hogan then announced that he was done with the fans and it was time for the trio to take over the promotion. The group was labeled the nWo and this was a moment that would change the landscape of pro wrestling forever. Although the incident happened at a WCW show, it goes without saying that every pro wrestling fan was left stunned with this reveal, no matter if they watched WCW or WWE. The group gave WCW some of its biggest ratings but was also a major reason why WCW's ship sank in the end and the promotion was bought off by WWE.
