StockID: 153176 SKU: APR251638
In 1996- professional wrestling was one of the most watched sports on cable television- with more than 5 million people tuning in every week. And in the late 1990s- pro-wrestling was the hottest thing in American pop culture. The NWO- or New World Order- became a business like no other- and was responsible for the explosive ratings and rabid fanbase. It started with an ingenious storyline starring Scott Hall- Kevin Nash- and the titular Hollywood Hogan-Hulk Hogan gone bad. Together- they formed a new era of characters to root for: The Bad Guys. The NWO broke down wrestling's fourth wall in a clever new way- blurring the lines between fiction and reality. And suddenly- watching professional wrestling not only became socially acceptable- but a necessity if you wanted to stay up to date with pop culture. Their impact was infectious and long-lasting. It was entertainment that shaped a generation.
