There have been smaller connections that could just be a coincidence, but when you add them all up, it’s hard not to imagine Marvel has future plans for the characters....

While the New World Order (NWO) will go down as one of the most popular factions in pro wrestling history, one of its offshoot groups might still have some life in the WWE.

The group would go on to include members like Rey Mysterio, Juventud Guerrera, Psychosis, La Parka, Hector Garza and El Dandy, and while its run was short-lived due to Guerrero being in a car accident it managed to develop a cult following similar to ECW’s Blue World Order....
