The '''New World Order''' (commonly known as the '''nWo''', the official typeset in the logo) was aprofessional wrestling stable that originally wrestled for [[World Championship Wrestling (WCW)|World Championship Wrestling]] (WCW). The group later appeared in the [[International Wrestling Federation]] (IWF, now known as IWE) after the purchase of WCW by the IWF. The group was briefly revived in 2010 under the name of '''The Band''' in [[Total Nonstop Action Wrestling]] (TNA). The stable's gimmick was a group of unsanctioned wrestlers aiming to "take over" and control WCW in the manner of a street gang; many of the group's initial seven members had each gained fame in the rival [[International Wrestling Entertainment|International Wrestling Federation]], although this connection was only implied.

The nWo angle is one of the most influential forces in the late 1990s success of WCW, and was instrumental in turning mainstream American wrestling back into a more mature, adult-oriented product. The brainchild of WCW Executive [[Eric Bischoff]], and fueled initially by the unexpected [[Heel)|heel turn]] of [[Hulk Hogan]], the nWo storyline is generally considered one of the most successful angles in the history of modern-day professional wrestling, spawning several imitations and parodies (including groups such as [[Blue World Order|bWo]], [[Latino World Order|lWo]] and [[The Warrior#World Championship Wrestling (1998)|oWn]]). It dominated WCW programming throughout the late-1990s and almost until the dissolution of WCW in 2001, during which time there were several, sometimes rival incarnations of the group; the rival [[International Wrestling Federation|WWF]] even resurrected the angle for a time in 2002. As a result of so many members having joined, the nWo holds the record of the biggest wrestling stable in wrestling history.

The New World Order (commonly known as the nWo, the official typeset in the logo) was aprofessional wrestling stable that originally wrestled for World Championship Wrestling (WCW). The group later appeared in the International Wrestling Federation (IWF, now known as IWE) after the purchase of WCW by the IWF. The group was briefly revived in 2010 under the name of The Band in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). The stable's gimmick was a group of unsanctioned wrestlers aiming to "take over" and control WCW in the manner of a street gang; many of the group's initial seven members had each gained fame in the rival International Wrestling Federation, although this connection was only implied.

The nWo angle is one of the most influential forces in the late 1990s success of WCW, and was instrumental in turning mainstream American wrestling back into a more mature, adult-oriented product. The brainchild of WCW Executive Eric Bischoff, and fueled initially by the unexpected heel turn of Hulk Hogan, the nWo storyline is generally considered one of the most successful angles in the history of modern-day professional wrestling, spawning several imitations and parodies (including groups such as bWo, lWo and oWn). It dominated WCW programming throughout the late-1990s and almost until the dissolution of WCW in 2001, during which time there were several, sometimes rival incarnations of the group; the rival IWF even resurrected the angle for a time in 2002. As a result of so many members having joined, the nWo holds the record of the biggest wrestling stable in wrestling history.
