Bucci, along with Richards, asked permission from both Raven and Paul Heyman to parody the New World Order (nWo); it was granted, and Bucci was given credit with the creation of The Blue World Order (bWo) logo. Bucci parodied Hollywood Hogan as Hollywood Nova, Richards became "Big Stevie Cool" (a takeoff on Kevin Nash's nickname of "Big Daddy Cool"), and Meanie was "Da Blue Guy", a takeoff on Scott Hall, "The Bad Guy". Many other members were added and removed between 1996 and 1998 before the team split in the latter. Richards left the bWo to return to Raven's Nest, and Nova and Meanie continued to team together. They started a feud with the much larger stable Full Blooded Italians. They also briefly feuded with Danny Doring and Roadkill, defeating them in November to Remember 1998.
