Nation of Domination The Nation of Domination is a former professional wrestling stable in the World Wrestling Federation . History . The original Nation of Domination was formed in 1996 in the USWA . The group was led by PG - 13 , ( a tag team consisting of JC Ice and Wolfie D ) . The group also consisted of Kareem Olajuwon , Sir Mohammad , Akeem Mohammad , Elijah , Shaquille Ali , Randy X , and Queen Moisha . This group never really got off the ground in the USWA but they saw greater success in the WWF . The heel group was originally formed in the WWF when wrestler Faarooq was joined by manager Clarence Mason . The two men were also accompanied by two unnamed actors , Albert Armstrong and William Beach , who were supposed to represent other members of the Nation . The group was based loosely on the Nation of Islam . The extremism of the group ' s pro - black theme at times including the ' Nation Salute ' and Faarooq ' s angry tirades on the microphone garnered them an excessive amount of heat from fans in arenas . Other wrestlers joined the Nation over time , including ( in order ) PG - 13 , Crush , Savio Vega , and D ' Lo Brown . This lineup of the group remained intact until Faarooq became angry with them and fired the entire group with the exception of Brown after Faarooq ' s loss to The Undertaker at King of the Ring 1997 , where Faarooq lost the match ( in part ) to the distraction caused when Vega and Crush were arguing at ringside . Faarooq promised that he would deliver a " bigger and blacker " version of the Nation , which led to the induction of Kama Mustafa and Ahmed Johnson into the group . Johnson would be forced out of the group due to injury and replaced by Rocky Maivia ( later known as The Rock ) . Meanwhile , former Nation members Vega and Crush formed their own rival factions , Los Boricuas ( made up entirely of Hispanic and Latino wrestlers ) and the Disciples of Apocalypse ( made up entirely of caucasian biker wrestlers ) respectively . This led to a WWF style " gang war " that was heavily criticized for separating each faction by race , eventually turning the " gang war " into an angle based on racism . In the following months , the Nation feuded with Los Boricuas and the Disciples of Apocalypse with Ahmed Johnson eventually starting feuds with the Nation as well . Toward the end of the year , " The World ' s Strongest Man " Mark Henry , joined the group in a tag team match by assaulting partner Ken Shamrock , with whom The Rock was feuding with at the time over the Intercontinental title . In the beginning of 1998 , The Rock went on to usurp leadership of the Nation from Faarooq , at which point the group dropped " of Domination " from its name and its militant focus permanently . Instead , The Rock ' s ' cool ' gimmick spread throughout the faction with Nation members taking on considerably more hip characters , the most notable being Kama Mustafa ' s transformation into The Godfather . The Nation ' s primary focus by now saw to it that The Rock retained the Intercontinental title at any cost . The group engaged in a memorable rivalry with D - Generation X . At this time , Owen Hart , who had a past rivalry with D - Generation X leader , Triple H , would join the Nation . This was due to frustration Hart felt ( kayfabe ) towards the fans and his family as he felt they had abandoned him , and he ' snapped ' and accepted The Nation as his real ' family ' as a result . This highly popular feud saw the infamous parody DX performed in which they spoofed Nation members , The Rock thoroughly humiliating Chyna by alluding to a possible ' romantic ' encounter between the two while the rest of DX were held at bay in their locker room by a forklift , a street fight between the two groups that wound up in Triple H being , in particular , singled out by the rest of the group and being beaten down with a ladder , and X - Pac & D ' Lo trading back and forth the WWF European Championship . Fall of The Nation . Toward the end of the year , the group showed signs of dissension as The Rock ' s mannerisms and swagger began to catch on with fans . The WWF could no longer ignore the cheers and adoration of the live crowds , so The Rock once again turned face . Owen Hart left the group when he believed there wasn ' t enough room for The Rock ' s ego and himself . The Rock would later be assaulted by D ' Lo Brown and Mark Henry in October 1998 which would ultimately be the end of the Nation . Shortly after , The Rock decided to run solo , riding his immense rise in popularity . He would be added to Vince McMahon ' s Corporation stable and would subsequently enjoy several years of success . Owen Hart would go on to form a successful tag team with Jeff Jarrett , and later revive his Blue Blazer character before his untimely death in May 1999 . D ' Lo Brown and Mark Henry would remain a tag team following the dissolution of The Nation , enjoying moderate success . After D ' Lo attempted to help Mark Henry lose weight , Henry turned on D ' Lo in the summer of 1999 , ending the final remnants of the Nation of Domination . D ' Lo would eventually hold both the Intercontinental and European title s at the height of his popularity . Mark Henry would form his " Sexual Chocolate " character and be involved in some angles of questionable quality until the development of his " Silverback " gimmick . As of 2015 , Mark Henry is the only former member still active in the WWE . Legacy . Similar stables and tag teams in promotions outside of the WWF have used the ' militant minority ' gimmick that The Nation was well known for . The Latino World Order in WCW was an nWo parody led by Eddie Guerrero consisted of almost every Hispanic wrestler on the roster and sought to ' take over ' the promotion . Latino wrestlers Homicide and Kane D . partnered together as The Nation of Immigration in Jersey All Pro Wrestling . The Latin American Exchange ( LAX ) , also co - formed by and including Homicide , were just as , if not more , militant than The Nation because of their street thug gang mentality and use of a particularly brutal style of violence as they pushed their political agenda . Theodore Long managed a loose stable of black wrestlers ( including former Nation members Mark Henry and D ' Lo Brown ) known as Thuggin & Buggin Enterprises on WWE Raw from 2002 - 2004 , whom he claimed were held back from main event success by WWE management because they were African - American . D - Generation X parody . D - Generation X , along with comedian Jason Sensation , parodied The Nation on the July 6 , 1998 episode of " RAW " , with each member of D - X dressing as a Nation member and impersonating their characteristic mannerisms .
