#1 The Third Man
My apologies to any Orson Welles fans.
On July 7, 1996, at Bash at the Beach, the team of Sting, Lex Luger, and "Macho Man" Randy Savage took on the team of The Outsiders - Hall and Nash - and their mystery third partner. This partner would turn out to be none other than Hulk Hogan.
Oh, sorry. Spoiler alert.
Hogan would step out of the corner and hit Savage with his trademark leg drop, thus not only cementing him as the leader of the now-formed New World Order of WCW, but the company's top bad guy - something that would have been unimaginable just weeks - heck, days - earlier.
Even to this day, this might just be the most unexpected, shocking moment in the history of Professional Wrestling. Even the fans who were already booing the perennial babyface and his tired red-and-yellow shtick at WCW events across the country couldn't have seen this one coming.
When you think of WCW, chances are you think of the nWo. And when you think of the nWo, chances are you think of this moment.
What about you? What are your favorite nWo moments? Head on down to the comments section and share them with us and your fellow nWo-ites. Until then, remember to stay too sweeeeeeeet! *does finger gesture*
