Are You Ready?.....I'm Not. [Updated]
Or maybe I should ask "Are You Ready...For A Complete Disaster?".
There is a rumor starting to take root on the Internet. While the new DX is getting stale, the WWE writers are rumored to have come up with an idea to help add more interest to them. Have them feud with an even older and staler group. The nWo. That's right. There is now talks of bringing Kevin Nash & Scott Hall (both of which are in their late 40's) back into WWE. Supposedly there is a chance that Kevin Nash, a man who had a heart attack less than a year ago, will be parting ways with TNA very soon and Scott Hall, who claims that he is back in shape, is eager to make a return to the big time. Add to this the fact that the MTV wrestling promotion that X-Pac is signed with looks like it will never get off of the ground, and you have a perfect recipe for disaster. What's more is that Triple H and Shawn Michaels (Nash, Hall, and X-Pac's good friend) have a lot of pull backstage and it looks like it could be only a matter of time before the DX v. nWo feud becomes a disturbing reality. Nobody on earth can argue against Triple H and HBK still being able to deliver a top-notch match, but Nash & Hall? Nash can barely move, literally, and Hall is still a bit unpredictable as to whether he can be a professional. I think that if this does happen it will only be because the WWE is expecting a huge amount of fan interest, but I doubt the fans actually would care all that much. DX is still over to a certain extent, but the nWo is definitely old news. Anyone remember when the nWo came into WWE the first time? I do and it was little more than a disaster. Why do it again? I also sure that if the WWE does decide to bring them in they will get a HUGE paycheck. More money than they are even worth.
In conclusion - a few months ago a Survivor Series promotional poster made its way onto the Internet. I'm not 100% sure if it was the WWE (I'm 95% sure that I read that it was them), but it was revelealed one way or another that the poster was a fake. With these new rumors I am starting to doubt if the poster was indeed fake or not.
You can view the poster HERE.
If I had to say right now whether or not the rumors are true I would have to say no, but that may just be me hoping that they're not.
There is a small bit of good news though. It looks like those drunken hillbillies that got nWo tattoos back in 1996 can wait a few months more before they get them lasered off.
Update: Adding some feul to fire concerning the return of the nWo, X-Pac made an appearance at a RAW house show this past Friday. After DX's victory in their match X-Pac made a 'surprise' appearance and celebrated with HHH and HBK. If the DX v. nWo rumors turn out to be true it is too soon to tell if X-Pac will be aligned with team DX or team nWo since this Friday's house show wasn't telvised. And as we all know, if it doesn't happen on TV then it didn't really take place.
