Editor’s Opinion:

It’s about time! The nWo was the reason that I really began to fall in love with professional wrestling and created some of the most pivotal moments in the history of the sport. Batista is one of the best performers in the history of the business and he has gone on to become a brilliant movie star. Congratulations to all involved!
