The New World Order faction is set to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame next year. While the angle is considered by many to be one of the greatest of all-time, critics argue WCW focused too much on the angle and dragged it out too long. Eric Bischoff recently addressed if he focused too much on NWO storylines near the end of 1998 on a recent edition of his 83 Weeks podcast with Conrad Thompson.
“Look in retrospect, it’s easy to have 20/20 hindsight,” Bischoff said on the show.
“NWO was so hot, we were trying to keep it fresh. We were trying to find ways to keep it fresh. We had played out the black and white, I think to the extent that we possibly could have, as long as we possibly could have.”
“I think it was time. In order to create story, we had to create dissension.”
“I’m comfortable with the decision we made even looking bad at it now.”

Bischoff recently reacted to the NWO Hall of Fame announcement.
“The nWo is the storyline, the angle, the moment that storyline was conceived and as it became executed, was probably one of the most important periods in professional wrestling, in this industry, in the last 30 years,” Bischoff said.
