Since they're gonna do it anyway, they might as well do it right, and have Hall debut, then Nash, then Hogan.
That "Mission Accomplished" idea would stink. Literally. Because you'd have millions of internet fans crapping themselves over it. That'd be the second extremely ironic shoot-that's-not-a-shoot statement about the NWO concerning their debut. And then, the world would likely implode.
Actually, I think Hogan should appear first. Maybe have him talking to Vince backstage and no one knows what is up. Or have him talking to Vince and then quickly leaving in a Hummer. Then next week have Nash and Hall appear to kill Regal and Edge during another IC match. Then the next week Hall, Nash and Hogan come out and say the NWO is here to take over the WWF and we are recruiting. I say Hogan first to get it out of the way. After Hall and Nash, Hogan would be a let down, so get him out of the way.

Well, knowing Vince, it will be all three together or the Outsiders first since he tends to bow his load early on things. I don't know about this NWO thing, here is what I envision.
First the Outsiders then, Hogan, X-Pac, Shawn and HHH. It makes sense to both insiders and if done properly the casual fan as well. Done properly is the key words here.
A Fan- My question is who is going to play Sting to the NWO?

That's an easy question, Hurricane Helms!
Honestly, I figure that role will be filled by Austin. It only makes sense.

henning... has already appeared... that really is an interesting thought considering he was nWo too....
austin would make the perfect sting to the nWo... have him come out like the third time they are punking someone out... and have him stomp a mudhole in everybody yelling that this redneck isn't gonna let some two bit wrestling freaks take over.... it'd be great!....
seriously though.... if they plan to do the whole nWo thing right someone from the creative team needs to hold vince back some to keep him from blowing his load....
I AM THE BEST there is, was and ever will be!!!! Dont you wish that you were me??? no?.... i've got two words for ya!
Even though I said it, Austin might not be the best choice. They have to kill this "What" stuff first. You can't have him running out to save the WWF with 18k people screaming "What!" at every step he takes. It would just kill the urgency of the situation. Maybe it would be OK, I am not sure.

Nice job Catapult. Yes, the part of NWO Sting was played at one time by the former Cobra. BTW, Cobra had the best theme song ever, if you like the sound of Morse code.
I am really interested in seeing who comes out first. I really think it will be all 3 but I think they will come out at random times throughout RAW or SD!. Punking people out and leaving through the crowd. Then blow the load on the following show.

Say what you will, but I think having the original NWO guys coming into the ring with Vince and having them celebrate with the two words "Mission Accomplished" would be the coolest f'n wrestling angle ever.
I mean, you can't script a 5 1/2-year angle that good. How all those circumstances all coincidentally come together is just absolutely beautiful. If Vince doesn't take advantage of that, then he's an idiot.
Tino, that would be too smart for almost everyone. It would be cool for us, but after saying "Mission Accomplished", they would have to spend atleast 2 hours explaining it to the people in the crowd and they would be like..."What!", this time for the right reason.

I think Nash should appear first, only because he was probably the last of the core group to be wrestling [if you can call what he does wrestling] on a regular basis. Casual fans would probably be more likely to remember him, though I know Hogan has the most recognition of any of them.
Some say Vince is jumping the gun, but I think this has to be done quickly if it has any chance of success. Most of the fans have short memories, and I wonder how many of them were even watching wrestling in 1996. The longer it takes to start the angle, the less likely fans will be to buy into it, because of the length of time since WCW's demise. The failure of the Invasion angle shows that the fans don't have much interest in WCW-related angles.
