With Kevin Nash, Scott Hall and Hulk Hogan leading the way, the nWo became incredibly popular with wrestling fans across the world, eventually turning things around for WCW during the Monday Night TV ratings battle and helping WCW to become the biggest, most watched wrestling company in the United States. With the nWo’s popularity at an all-time high, Eric Bischoff decided to run a special pay per view event based around the heel WCW faction. Happening in January of 1997, nWo Souled Out promised to be like nothing we had ever seen before. In a drastic creative decision, Bischoff decided to move away from the standard PPV events that he (and Vince McMahon) produced in order to create an event that would look and feel very different. Eric was in a good position to experiment with WCW, the company was being handsomely funded by Ted Turner and Time Warner, and so trying things outside of the box was Eric’s philosophy as the nWo grew in popularity. nWo Souled Out, as Eric puts it, was an experiment. The whole show was built to further give the nWo it’s own identity. This video from Wrestling Bios takes a look at the creation of nWo Souled Out along with an in-depth look at the PPV show itself.
