6. Eric Bischoff Recalls How He Didn’t Decide On nWo’s Name Before Hulk Hogan’s Promo At Bash At The Beach 1996
During a recent edition of “Bischoff on Wrestling” podcast, Eric Bischoff talked about how he didn’t decided on nWo’s name before Hulk Hogan’s promo at Bash at the Beach 1996. Below is what he said:
Honest to God. I was so determined to not let it leak that Hogan was the third guy. I protected that secret with my life. Despite what people have said publicly for years on podcasts or interviews about when they found out. I call bullshit on 99% of it. Only a small handful of people knew … It was all improvised.
There wasn’t even a piece of paper with anything written on it. It was me and Hulk just going back and forth. We knew we had 2-4 minutes to fill. We knew what we wanted it to accomplish and it was then I said, “Hulk I want you to say something like, ‘AND THIS. IS. THE. NEW. WORLD. ORDER… of wrestling.”
