Is there any truth to this?

No. Scott Hall (w/Kevin Nash) pitched the idea to Bischoff who took all credit. Dutch Mantel came up with the name.

Yes, everyone involved has openly admitted Eric got the idea for an invasion angle from UWF vs. NJPW, but since there was no promotion to invade WCW, he manufactured the NWO as an outside entity.

Who do I believe

>>2988252
JUST THE FACT THAT IT'S FROM JAPAN AND AMERIFAT WRESTLING MADE MONEY BECAUSE OF THE GREATEST COUNTRY, AND THE GREATEST ALLY OF NATIONAL SOCIALIST GERMANY, THE EMPIRE OF JAPAN!!!

This. No seriously. WWE and TNA take HEAVY inspiration from Japanese wrestling, Dean Ambrose attempting to become Atsushi Onita, the WWE legitimately stealing match spots directly from NJPW and obviously signing wrestlers from NJPW like Styles and Nakamura. They are clearly threatened by NJPW and it certainly shows, they know that NJPW is a superior product and they're trying to emulate it.

>>2988203
No. Maybe the stupid invasion angle that wasn't really an invasion. Outsiders was entirely Scott Hall's idea. Then, it morphed into the nWo who kept adding members.

>>2988220
Scott Hall has said no such thing. You're lying.

>>2988252
The first guy. Scott has said numerous times how he pitched the idea, Bryan Alvarez covers this in a chapter of his book The Death of WCW.

Why do dumb marks ask Meltzer Magoo questions when they can find the answer from man himself with simple google search?

>Death of WCW
fucking CRINGE
that's your first BIG mistake.
the book is NOT credible
go watch a Scott Hall shoot interview and you'll see what a MORON you are
then go watch Russo debate Death of WCW author RD Reynolds and BTFO him

This is 100% bullshit and Dutch Mantel never worked backstage for WCW.
Bischoff publicly admits he lifted the idea from UWF vs NJPW invasion angle.

>>2988329
Bischoff has never publically admitted he got idea from UWFI (it's not UWF) vs. NJPW.

You're a mark with ZERO clue!

This doesn't contradict "Audiences cared about the NWO because of Hogan" at all, mate.

>>2988384
It does. You're only exposing your terrible reading comprehension. You're getting BTFO. Know when to quit cuck.
