Booker T: Scott Hall Came To Me After NWO Started And Said, ‘We Need Some Color’

The New World Order officially formed at WCW Bash at the Beach 1996 with Hulk Hogan turning on the company and aligning with Scott Hall and Kevin Nash.

The group would grow in the weeks and moths to come with the likes of The Giant, Ted DiBiase, Syxx (X-Pac), and more being added.

According to Booker, Scott Hall wanted him as part of the group.

"NWO, it totally took on a life of its own. Scott Hall, this was right after the NWO got started, it was just Hall and Nash, and maybe one more member. Scott Hall comes up to me, ‘Ay, bro. We need some color, bro. We want you to join.’ [Laughs]. I turned it down. I was like, ‘Nah, I’m a solo act.’ I knew if I would have joined the NWO, I would have been taking all the bumps and I would have been on all the house shows. To hell with that deal," Booker said with a laugh while speaking to The Undertaker on Six Feet Under.

Booker did eventually join the NWO, just the WWE version with Shawn Michaels and Kevin Nash.
