Top 10 Moments of The nWo

#5 DDP fakes joining the nWo

Much like Sting and Goldberg, former WCW World Champion Diamond Dallas Page was also another prominent superstar who was at war with the nWo and the group's message was seemingly loud and clear, you're either with the nWo or you're against them.

However, as far as Diamond Dallas Page was concerned, he decided to choose the hard way. By 1997, the nWo had already grown in huge numbers as the likes of Hogan, Nash, Hall, Savage, Ms Elizabeth, Masahiro Chono, Scott Norton, The Giant, and Ted Dibiase were all representing the black and white.

On 13th January 1997, DDP was involved in an in-ring confrontation with The Outsiders who offered Page with a nWo shirt and asked him to join the group and just when it seemed like DDP had eventually sided with The New World Order, out of nowhere, Scott Hall fell victim to a wicked Diamond Cutter, as DDP made his exit through the crowd and got a hero's reception, whereas, Kevin Nash "tripped" himself and fell face first on the floor.
