The New World Order debuted in WCW in 1996 when Scott Hall and Kevin Nash arrived as outsiders and Hulk Hogan turned heel to join them. Their black and white presentation and this rock theme became a defining image of the Monday Night Wars era. The stable helped WCW overtake rivals in ratings and sold huge amounts of merchandise. Decades later the riff remains shorthand online for a rebellious faction entrance, a betrayal, or anyone arriving to take over.
