Justin, I respect your opinion but I think you are playing a little revisionist history with the NWO's run in WCW.
The NWO both made and destroyed the WCW. It was a one shot deal that Bischoff stretched out for 2 years. remember the NWO "B-Team" led by Stevie Ray of all people? Pathetic. Add this on to the reported arrogance and hostility of Hall, Nash and Hogan in the locker room and you have your explanation as to their downfall.
Now, the NWO aren't the only reason why WCW folded. Goldberg was a huge reason as was the lack of any real corporate leadership and inordinately large salaries, but the NWO is still a large part of the equation.
Hall, Nash and Hogan could have led by example being that they were the biggest stars in WCW and they could have led WCW to new heights, instead they worked for themselves and sabotaged other wrestlers pushes, created their own little circle of influence and made the locker room miserable.
As for proof, I could cite about 150,000 articles from 1wrestling.com saying what a cancer Hall, Nash and Hogan were in the locker room.
