nWo Japan

[Guest The Metal Maniac]

So yeah...I know there was an nWo Japan, and that Muta and Chono were a part of it.

 

But who else? How long did it last for? How over was it?

 

Basically, if the whole angle can be summarized, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Here is a very compressed history of it.

 

Chono shows up on Nitro in an nWo T-shirt in late 1996-early 1997.

 

WCW and NJ have a working relationship so nWo guys in WCW like Scott Norton are in NJ

 

Chono recruits Tenzan and Hiro Saito in mid 1997.

 

Muta joins in 1997 on Nitro. nWo Sting leaves WCW for NJ

 

In 1998 AKIRA joins nWo, Chono gets hurt and Mutoh takes over as leader.

 

Mutoh recruits Kojima, nWo Sting becomes Super J

 

Chono gets booted out of nWo.

 

In early 1999 Chono announces he's forming his own group Team 2000

 

Muoth recruits Goto and Ohara into nWo.

 

in mid-late 1999 Goto, Ohara, Super J, Norton, AKIRA, and Hiro join Chono in Team 2000, nWo is left with Tenkoji and Mutoh

 

Chono beats Mutoh on 1/4/00 and Kojima and Tenzan join Team 2000.
