Eric Bischoff reflects on NWO's storyline conclusion in WCW
Summary

Eric Bischoff shared his thoughts on the New World Order (NWO) storyline during his "83 Weeks" podcast. He expressed a desire for the NWO to have a definitive ending before its decline in 2000, suggesting that an earlier conclusion in 1998 would have allowed for a smoother transition to new storylines. Bischoff noted the importance of closing one arc before launching another to maintain audience engagement. The NWO was pivotal in propelling WCW past WWE during the late 1990s, and its popularity continues to influence wrestling narratives today, including potential revivals.
