They could have still had a "gang" esque feel to the nWo without over saturating the cards with nWo related angles. That was a major problem, aside from giving away big match ups, and flubbing storylines. I remember a few nitros where you would have 4 segments in a row of nWo guys coming out. Complete overkill.
A more condensed nWo while still giving a feel of a large invading stable couldve included.
Hogan, Nash, Hall, Savage (Marquee main event players)
Hennig (Upper Mid)
Norton, Bagwell (midcard tag)
Vincent, Disciple, Elizabeth, (Lackeys/Valets that never compete, just accompany)
Konnan, Crush, The Giant, Stevie Ray, Steiner, et al. should have never been included. Loved Big Poppa Pump, but he didnt need to turn on Rick or join the nWo to roll with that gimmick. Would've provided more variety for the show as well. Then ye got the LWO and Wolfpac added, and it just overwhelmed the senses and watered it all down.
If they wanted a baby face stable to counter the nWo, Sting and Luger could have recruited two members of the roster to elevate just by being associated with them. Could have been a good opportunity for Guerrero and Benoit.
