Nation of Domination
The Nation of Domination (NOD) was an American-Canadian professional wrestling stable who competed in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) from November 17, 1996 to November 28, 1998.
The group was formed by newcomer Faarooq in 1996 and remained an influential faction in the company. While in the group, The Rock was a one-time Intercontinental Champion and D'Lo Brown was a two-time European Champion. Near the end of The Nation's existence, the group was joined by Owen Hart.
The group was based loosely on the Nation of Islam and street gang lifestyle (with group members adopting Islamic names and wearing Muslim headgear) and the Black Panther Party. The extremism of the group's pro-black theme – often including the "Nation Salute" and Faarooq's angry tirades on the microphone – garnered them an excessive amount of heat from fans in arenas.
On the October 28, 1996 edition of Monday Night Raw, announcer Jim Ross revealed that Faarooq had taken Clarence Mason as his new manager after Ross recommended Mason's services for a lawsuit against Ahmed Johnson. Ross noted the duo would appear on WWF Livewire that Saturday with "big changes" in store for Faarooq, meaning the dropping of his "Roman gladiator" gimmick. The Nation of Domination heel faction would make its debut at Survivor Series, where Faarooq would be accompanied to the ring by Mason and PG-13 (J.C. Ice and Wolfie D). The four men were also accompanied by three actors, Albert Armstrong, Charles Hines, and Richard Beach, whose names were unacknowledged on screen and were supposed to represent other members of the Nation. Faarooq would team with Vader, Fake Diesel, and Fake Razor Ramon in a 4-on-4 Survivor Series elimination match against Flash Funk, Jimmy Snuka, Savio Vega and Yokozuna, where it ended in a no contest.
Many wrestlers joined the heel stable over time including Crush, D'Lo Brown, and Savio Vega. Their first feud was with Ahmed Johnson, who had a rivalry with Faarooq since SummerSlam. At the Royal Rumble, the Nation assisted Faarooq during his match against Johnson. Faarooq lost by disqualification after Crush interfered and attacked Johnson.
Faarooq, Crush, and Vega were the members of Nation of Domination who wrestled while others supported them during their matches. These three men often teamed up together in six-man tag team matches such as one at In Your House 13: Final Four against Bart Gunn, Goldust, and Flash Funk and most notably in a Chicago Street Fight at WrestleMania 13 against the Legion of Doom (Hawk and Animal) and Ahmed Johnson. At A Cold Day In Hell, the Nation faced Johnson in a Gauntlet match. Johnson defeated Crush and Vega in the Gauntlet before losing to Faarooq. The next night on Raw, JC Ice and Wolfie D would be removed from the Nation after a loss to the Legion of Doom, the Nation effectively abandoning them to their fate.
After losing JC Ice and Wolfie D, Faarooq began challenging The Undertaker for the WWF Championship at King of the Ring, after Faarooq lost the match, he blamed Crush and Vega for the loss. The next night on Raw, Faarooq went to the ring with only Mason, Brown and three bodyguards and announced that due to too much arguing in the group he fired Crush and Vega, he then fired Mason and the bodyguards for not getting involved in the matches
In reality, Clarence Mason requested to be taken out of the group because he was feeling uncomfortable with the Nation of Domination storyline and with Faarooq using racist comments in promos. The other reason was because WWF owner Vince McMahon wanted more managers to start taking more bumps and getting involved in the matches.
