Former Boss of the World Championship Wrestling and the WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff recently revealed that The Immortal Hulk Hogan had creative freedom on the nWo but Kevin Nash and Scott Hall did not have that. There was a clause that gave Hogan creative freedom but did not allow Nash and Hall the same.
The nWo was arguably the best stable back in the 90s and also considered as one of the best stables in professional wrestling history. Kevin Nash and Scott hall were the two inaugural members of the stable. Slowly it became bigger and bigger. When Hulk Hogan joined the stable, it was a huge deal. Because Hulk Hogan turned heel for the first time in his career by joining the nWo.
The New World Order which is better known as the nWo made its debut in July 1996. It first looked like a modified version of the Outsiders. But slowly it became more and more popular, and with Hulk Hogan joining the squad it became the best stable in the world back then.
The former Boss of WCW, Eric Bischoff recently spoke to WrestleSlam Podcast where we took on this matter. He said;
Eric Bischoff On Hulk Hogan’s Creative Freedom On nWo
“Hall and Nash didn’t have creative control. To clarify, they did have language in their agreement that gave them meaningful consultation. Meaning they were guaranteed to have a conversation with me and it would have been a meaningful conversation, but a meaningful conversation and creative control or two different things, And they did not have creative control.”
“Hulk Hogan had creative control and he only used it once. So, the creative control issue was not an issue, even though people like to talk about it and it’s part of the narrative, so I know there’s a lot of narrative and a lot of people have reported that there was creative control and none of those people know what the f–k they’re talking about, to be honest with you. So it didn’t create an issue.”
