The Magnificent Seven brought together some of WCW’s biggest names including Ric Flair, Scott Steiner, Rick Steiner, Jeff Jarrett, Lex Luger, Buff Bagwell, and Road Warrior Animal. Positioned as an elite super faction controlling the WCW World Heavyweight Championship scene, the group was designed to dominate Nitro and shape the company’s direction by taking out every top babyface the company had to offer. With Scott Steiner reigning as WCW World Heavyweight Champion and Ric Flair once again in a leadership role, the Magnificent Seven quickly became central to WCW programming. The storyline appeared to be building toward major confrontations with returning top babyfaces and long term power struggles that would possibly define WCW’s future... but that future never arrived. In March 2001, WWE purchased WCW, bringing an abrupt end to ongoing storylines, rivalries, and faction warfare. The Magnificent Seven angle was left unresolved as Nitro aired its final episode, leaving fans to wonder how the group’s dominance would have ultimately played out. This video looks back at the formation of the Magnificent Seven, their role in WCW’s final months, their dominance over WCW's top babyfaces such as Sting, Goldberg and Kevin Nash, and how the WWE acquisition prevented the storyline from ever reaching its intended conclusion.
