Bischoff went on to agree that the NWO was watered down by the different variations including the Latino World Order and The Wolfpac. Despite that, he still digs the idea of the LWO and notes that obviously, WWE does as well considering its recent revival.
The WWE Hall of Famer also conceded that they didn’t cast properly as several of the characters that were brought in did not fit the story. On top of that, another misstep involved The Ultimate Warrior and One World Nation.
“One of the things that really exacerbated the dilution of the NWO story was bringing Warrior in,” Bischoff continued. “Took the focus off. Because you’re bringing Warrior in, you gotta put a lot of attention on that. You got backstory you’re trying to recreate or expand on and that took so much focus off what we were doing at the time.”
“Of course, Warrior was really good at coming up with ideas that would get Warrior over, and I went along with it. So did Kevin Sullivan, we all did. My decision ultimately, not Kevin’s, and it was a mistake. There’s no way you can look at that and say it wasn’t. But it wasn’t because Warrior came out and took a 12-minute promo and turned it into a 30-minute television show that bored the audience to death and ruined his debut. More importantly, we took our eye off the ball creatively. That was a big mistake at the worst possible time.”
