8 most memorable nWo moments in history

#6 The Outsiders raise hell (Nitro - July 29, 1996)

Kevin Nash takes out Rey Mysterio on Nitro

Speaking of dynamic programming. The July 29, 1996 episode of Nitro played host to an excellent angle; one of the hottest of the year.

During a six-man tag team match on Nitro, between Sting, Lex Luger and Randy Savage and the triumvirate of Ric Flair, Chris Benoit and Steve McMichael, manager, Jimmy Hart frantically ran to the ring, telling the competitors to come to the backstage area.

Backstage, Arn Anderson and Marcus Bagwell had been laid out by Hall and Nash.

The Outsiders weren't done there. With the fight spilling to the outside of the arena, Cruiserweight Champion, Rey Mysterio attempted to come to the aid of his colleague, by leaping off a guard rail towards Nash. However, the mighty Nash caught Mysterio in mid-air and threw him like a dart into the side of a trailer. Mysterio then fell face first onto the concrete.

Hall and Nash then departed inside a limo. As it left the arena, an enraged Savage leapt on the hood, trying to gain vengeance on the pair.

It was a hell of an exciting angle and one that proved so realistic, many nearby residents called the police, believing a real life street brawl had just occurred!
