WWE Hall Of Famer Declares Who’s Better: Bloodline or NWO

With The Bloodline giving us some of the most memorable moments in WWE storytelling history, a WWE Hall of Famer has compared it to the NWO.

Speaking on 83 Weeks, the man who brought the NWO to the world, Eric Bischoff, stated:

“I think [The Bloodline] is the best story that’s been told in professional wrestling in 30 or more years.”

The praise wouldn’t end there, with Bischoff going on to call it:

“Far better than NWO. It is. In terms of its structure, it’s discipline.

“That means sticking to the plan, sticking to the story, don’t start throwing things in randomly and spontaneously because somebody had a good idea two hours before show time.

“That’s what typically happens.

“They’ve stuck to the plan and they’ve executed it perfectly.

“The NWO was a great story, and in its day I think it was — up until Bloodline — it was one of the best stories told, which is why people keep talking about it.

“But if you look at just the way the Bloodline has been told and the detail and discipline that goes into that story, it blows the NWO story out of the water.”

Bischoff also suggested that WWE should study the success of The Bloodline story, including the involvement of Sami Zayn, to be craft compelling content in the future.

As The Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns has reached another epic milestone as Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, hitting 900 days as champion on February 16 2023.

He is set to face Sami Zayn at Elimination Chamber on February 18 with the championship on the line.
