WHY? i never understood that,,NOD was all about african americans being negatively stereotyped and decided to do something about,,so how in the world did owen fit into the equation? :-\Aggro wrote:Owen Hart. He tried to be a tough guy but he couldn't grow his damn beard in!
In all seriousness, Owen's attempts at being a face, when Bret left for WCW, fell pretty flat. He ended up joining the Nation of Domination.
For BC reasons. The NOD was by far the most over of those groups (because it was the original group that all of the others emerged from), thus it was the only one to survive after the Gang Wars angle. They needed to PC it up, so they kicked out Faarooq, thus dropping the "militant black guys" angle. One way to do this and give them a guy who could replace both the star power of The Rock (as Rocky moved up and became a megastar) and the wrestling skill of Faarooq was to add in Owen.KILLdozer wrote:WHY? i never understood that,,NOD was all about african americans being negatively stereotyped and decided to do something about,,so how in the world did owen fit into the equation? :-\Aggro wrote:Owen Hart.

[/quote]You mean 8 Ball and Skull, the Harris Boys? They were with Crush and Brian Lee in D.O.A. Crush and Savio Vega got the boot from N.O.D after Farooq wanted to make it "A whole lot blacker!" and got the Rock and Kama Mustafa to join him and D-Lo.[/quote]Aggro wrote:Big Bad Booty Daddy wrote:

Both very good points, but have people forgotten that both Crush and the two twins who were all white were in The Nation way before Owen!!!

I think originally the Nation of Domination was spose to be some super prison group: Farooq had what appeared to be black Muslims and he himself was a militant black man, Crush was a biker, and Savio was a Puerto Rican gangster. After Farooq reformed it, it became JUST a militant balck group, but Owen being in it didn't hurt it much. There were whites and other non-blacks in the Black Panthers.....

This. Not because of the effect... but the 25 minutes or whatever that came just before the turn. As Randy would say "STUPID".yourcrapsweak wrote:Hogan at BFG 2011.
