The Blue World Order (bWo) was a stable of professional wrestlers formed at Extreme Championship Wrestling's November to Remember 1996 event.

From 2008 through 2017, the group made several appearances at various local independent events and in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling as bW 2.0.

After clearing things with Paul Heyman and Raven, it was decided that they would form the bWo at the next big event, November to Remember '96.

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.

Just weeks after this event Richards suffered a severe injury to his neck courtesy of Terry Funk and a metal guardrail which left him temporarily paralyzed for over an hour.

During their entrance, Joey Styles (laughing hysterically once they entered) said that "If any gimmick never deserved to make a dime and made a boatload of cash, this is it!

On April 18, 2009, Nova and Blue Meanie unsuccessfully challenged for the British promotion One Pro Wrestling tag-team titles, losing to Project Ego (Kris Travis and Martin Kirby).

The event took place at the original ECW Arena in South Philadelphia as a benefit for deceased members of Francine's family; a portion of the ticket sales went to The American Cancer Society.

Heffron couldn't attend the show due to personal responsibilities to take care of in Philadelphia prior to going on his vacation the next day;[6] still, his promo was aired on PPV and in the arena he was replaced by Big Tilly.
