b.W.o. Blue World Order

The Blue World Order (b.W.o.) was a stable of professional wrestlers formed at Extreme Championship Wrestling's November to Remember 1996 event at the ECW Arena. The stable lasted until August 1998 and briefly in World Wrestling Entertainment throughout the summer of 2005.

Initially meant to be a one off parody, the Blue World Order became immensely popular, and elevated Richards to the main event level in ECW. The height of the bWo's success came at the very first ECW pay per view, Barely Legal, in which Big Stevie Cool was part of the 3-Way Dance main event for the #1 contendership for the ECW World Title. Just weeks after this event Richards suffered a "severe" neck injury and announced his retirement. The legitimacy of this injury has been rumored to be a complete work, perhaps a mockery of Shawn Michaels' knee injury segments in the WWF at that time. Shortly thereafter, Richards left for WCW, and the bWo soon faded.
