July 7th 2016 marks the 20th anniversary of the formation of the legendary wrestling faction NWO. WCW presented Bash At The Beach 1996. The Outsiders: Kevin Nash and Scott Hall promised a mysterious third man. It turned out to be Hulk Hogan who turned heel and the rest is history. The NWO went on to become one of (if not the most) influential factions in Professional wrestling history. All three members took to twitter to celebrate the anniversary of the group.

Amazing faction. Their impact can still be seen in the wrestling business today and that just goes to show you how amazing they really were. If you grew up watching WCW, this moment might make you feel a bit old!!!
Let us know your best memories of the faction in the comment section! We want to hear from you!
