While the nWo were getting featured in the main event spots of WCW, the cruiserweights and luchadores of World Championship Wrestling were widely considered as the true workers of the company. Guys like Rey Mysterio Jr., Psychosis, La Parka and Eddie Guerrero were putting on fantastic, breath-taking matches on a weekly basis while guys like Hulk Hogan and Kevin Nash grabbed huge paychecks for doing very little in the main event scene.
A meeting between Eric Bischoff and Eddie Guerrero would lead to Eddie creating the LWO, the Latino World Order. The idea behind LWO was a group of Mexican superstars who were overlooked by Eric Bischoff and WCW. Eddie would say that Bischoff was paying the luchadores of WCW peanuts in order to wrestle eachother, and on top of this, the young stars of WCW were unable to break into a controlled main event picture. The LWO would rally together to fight back, and the faction set their sights on recruiting Rey Mysterio to complete their goal.
This video looks at the entire LWO run in WCW. Topics covered include:

We need a Filthy Animals bio!!
Holy drip Juventud Guerrera
What makes Eddie Latino and not White
The network has one of the worst search engines. I searched Eddie Guerrero vs. Rey Mysterio and it comes up with all these matches that don’t even have Eddie in it. The match I eventually found was on a December 21st, 1998 episode of Nitro.
I think you've done every "Wo" except for the best... the bWo. Got to do that story... they were my favorite... and if this was made, a side bar into the parodies of "The Earl of Eating" and "Lord Stevie", "Baron Von Stevie and Bluedust (with Patricia)" and "The Heart Attack Kid" and "Big Daddy Fool" Ethyl...
Viva la raza
🔥🔥🔥 this the Real Golden age
When the cruiserweights stop wrestling after the first hour. I always changed to the wwf. WCW Cruiserweight division had the most exciting form of wrestling I have ever seen. Only thing that comes close to me is the Dudley/edge & Christan/Hardy boys tlc matches.
Viva laraza
Tbh I'm STILL NWO! While the likes of Hogan Hall and Vincent don't even represent NWO any more!! Thought we were NWO 4 LYFE FELLOWS!!! Guess that only applies to ME!
RIP Eddie Guerrero 🇲🇽
Ese Vato
L.W.O Let's Whack Off!!!!
Wow Eric sent Eddie to njpw. It must've been nice for eddie to see what a working for a real wrestling promoter was like
Bruh Latino world order and blue world order my favorite organization
I don't know why but Eddie looked like the angry version of Luigi because of his mullet hair and his moustache.
Im here for eddie
Juventude Sold Out I'm surprised LWO didn't feud with Konnan.
I love your channel, man. All info, no BS. keep it up! #subscribed
Rest in peace Eddie the #LWO was more significant than the NWO or the red and black because it stood for something.
Eddie Guerrero too, was a killer!
rey misterio was HUge.
If i ever properly break into the business one of my dreams is bringing a different version of the LWO to life. I wasnt alive when it was going on but later found out about it & loved it. Loved what Eddie was doing bc he genuinely cared for other talent. GOAT !
LWO would have been a great faction. WCW had a lot of luchadors signed at the time. They could have had a great rivalry with the NWO. Which is probably why they killed the LWO. Because they wanted the NWO to be big and popular, and didn't want it to tank ahead of time.
Adding El Dandy and Hypnosis is a license to print money.
LOVED this stable. Was hoping WWE did something similar with all the Mexican-Mexican Americans they now have in the roster.... Rey, Kalisto, Andrade, Garza, Lince(although not Mexican), and many more
Lwo was the only splinter group that worked for me
Back when mfrs we're not afraid to be Latino!! I love Eddie as much hate as his people gets nowadays I know he would be a catalyst for change in our community
Basically saying Latino lives matter
This is amazing!!! Thank you for this!
then ray Beat Nash on nitro
I just bought an Lwo shirt
Rip Eddie
The whole nwo red/white bwo lwo all was dope I like that especially when ecw invaded shyt was awesome
Rey Mysterio should bring it back Latino World Order i think he can accomplish it
LWO 4 LIFE
R.I.P Eddie Guerrero
Man the LWO was amazing and too short-lived... Also, that huge t-shirt bit for Rey was hilariously geniuses!
Could you please do bWo?
I don’t remember Eddie’s mullet being so huge.
VIVA LA RAZA
Would have worked had they not call it the LWO that was shooting itself in the foot and head
and then Eddie came back pissed off at everyone that abandoned the LWO
watch some there matches - some of the best wrestling you will see they were awesome!
Wrestling Bios, OWN
Heel WCW Eddie Guerrero was his best version in his entire career.
NWO killed LWO
I never liked Rey Mysterio
I still cruise my LWO shirt in 2020. ARRIBA LA RAZA!
La Parka is my spirit animal.
Laparka!!!
Thank you Eddie
Miss Eddie R.I.P
El Dandy was the Mexican lou ferrigno La RAZA
It's weird, because the entire story didn't pay off what the group supposedly got together for. They didn't start main eventing. I suppose Eddie eventually made it to the main event in the WWF, and of course Rey got big, but nobody else ever mattered.
Law teeno word odor??🤣🤣
gotta do a video of the bwo
New world order more like Latino world order
it was the best wrestling of all time, highest form and level...cant be compared with todays boring trash
This puts a tear in my eye. RiP Eddie. 915
L.W.O. Forever
the best wrestling channel, and awesome video on the LWO
I loved LWO it should have lasted longer and should have completely taken over nWo
Viva la Raza
7:49 ----> nWo Holly-Weird ???
*LATINO STAND UP* ! ! !
ARRIVA LA RACAAAA!!!
BLITZKRIEG NOW PLEASE.... He is way too underrated to not get a video
Good ol Pepe
I don't recall Nitro ever being a 1 hour show
ORALE!!!!! VIVA LA RASA!!!!!
i'm not gonna lie, if the LWO went to njpw and wrestled there as well, the LWO would of lasted longer
Latinos 4 life brother
Many years later both Eddie and Bischoff confirmed that the coffee incident was purely accidental and that Bischoff didn't do it on purpose.
I like Eric Bischoff adding reality and Eddie getting more mic time, but the LWO had little entertainment value. They should have given more of the newbies a chance, while pushing the proven entertainers like La Parka. The best part about the LWO was them getting destroyed by the nWo, and them causing K-Dogg to get kicked out.
20+ years later and American companies (minus Lucha Underground which no longer exist) still have how to book and promote latin Wrestlers
This is part of the reason why WCW failed. It should have been pushing younger talent. By just pushing older guys again and again it was part of what killed WCW.
la parka in wcw was a classic
por que sale gerrero cin yentese?
Even as a kid, I always watched some of the “Crusierweights” thinking to myself “how is he a cruiserweight? “.
The LWO wasn't given the proper attention it deserved. If Triple H and Vince were smart they would bring this faction back with Andrade, Angel Garza, Kalisto, Lince Durado, Gran Metalik and other hispanic superstars
Loved when nWo finally confronted the lWo. And Rey refusing to take the shirt off, even though he didn’t want to join the group in the first place. Then Konnan trying to help Rey and getting kicked out of the nWo. Such good writing!
Seeing the rift between Juvi and his dad is sad :(
Psycosis and la parka were 2 of the best luchadores
Some wrestlers quit WCW during the NWO era and went to WWF. It would have been ok but WCW over did the NWO members. Everyone in WCW was NWO, it became lame. It should have just been limited amount of wrestlers.
I hope they hire Chico Santana as executive consultant. And Chico will teach them the Art of Jobbing matches. What a poor Loser Chico was!
6:28 I think its just an Asian dude lol
What a wonderful story of Eddie putting Rey over. Eddie Guerrero was, is, and will always be my favorite wrestler of all time.
with wcw's weird amounts of racism backstage the l.w.o seems more "real" than the nwo imo
Konnan should have joined since he is a former Mexican Heavyweight champ.
Thanks for the vid
Spider the personal bodyguard is my teacher the best teacher i ever had
LWO was the dagger in the heart to the whole NWO angle. It was desperate and uncreative. THIS is why WCW was never better than WWF.
Simon LWO por vida!!!!!
Latino heat for life.
I remember this 😍
L...L....L....L..L..L....L WORLD ORDER!!!!!
LWO was horrible. I remember watching Nitro back then. Everyone hated it.
So long story short the L.W.O did absolutely nothing and got nobody over. WCW couldn't do anything right and had so much talent.
I loved my lwo shirt I’d rock almost once a week in junior high
