Former WCW President and WWE Monday Night RAW General Manager Eric Bischoff recently commented on if the NWO featured any Illuminati symbolism or messages in it’s storylines. You can read what he had to say here:
“I would if I could but I’m not allowed to. There are certain rules and I can’t break them. Even at this late stage. (Laughs) It’s a ridiculous conspiracy. No, it had nothing to do with the illuminati group or anybody else. There was no big underlying message there. It was really just a spontaneous thought. The basic story concept, the premise if you will, of the NWO was just a couple guys that were in WCW. They got pissed off because they didn’t get treated fairly or appropriately. Went to the WWE and became big stars and then came back to seek revenge. That was the basic premise of that storyline. It obviously grew from there but I think because we called it the NWO and there’s a certain kind of inference associated with the “New World Order” that it took on this life of it’s own but… it’s not true.”
