#5 nWo

If there was one entity that got more cheers than Stone Cold Steve Austin, it was the nWo. Scott Hall had already built up a reputation in the WWE as being the cool bad guy and he carried his machismo over to WCW as well.
While Kevin Nash could not match Hall’s charisma, he did have an aura about him from his Diesel persona and the Outsiders ran rough shots on Nitro – raising cheers rather than boos from the crowd.
Hulk Hogan’s turn might have been treated with boos and garbage being thrown in to the ring, but the trio became so popular despite being villains that it set off a quantum shift in how wrestling was scripted in the mid-nineties.
