I know that most of the younger fans who didn't watch wwe before 2002 would have no idea who NOD is but I think wwe should do a one night NOD reunion. D'lo Brown is in tna but Farooq, The Rock and Mark Henry are still with wwe and they can also bring back the Godfather as well. Do you think they should have a one night reunion? Maybe even have the group its self inducted into the hof next year?

Simply put no and the reason is because The Nation was actually quite a controversial and racy stable seeing as it was a black supremacist group who were all about gang warfare and that simply wouldn't and couldn't work in this current era. A storyline like the one involving D-Generation X, The Hart Foundation and The Nation revolving around suspected racism against The Nation would give people against Linda McMahon an absolute field day for things to throw at her in her election campaign as well.
Don't get me wrong i would personally love to see The Nation make a return as i found them to be a very original group and from late 1996 through to early 1998 when they were booked as a serious, badass gang they were very entertaining although i still enjoyed The Nation that was led by The Rock despite them being more comedic then. Right now there isn't anywhere near enough black wrestlers to pull off bringing back The Nation as i don't see enough in Mark Henry, Kofi Kingston, R-Truth or The Prime Time Players although if MVP was brought back i would be all for an all black group with MVP, The Prime Time Players and maybe Mark Henry or a repackaged Percy Watson.

Somebody forgot to read the OP. D'oh!
If they came back for a one-night reunion, it'd be a case of 'OMG ITS DA ROCK', then they'd be baffled as to why Mark Henry is being chummy with him, then they see the guy who says 'DAMN!' alot and bringing up the rear, some retired pimp daddy who would get shit on by the AE fans because he only got cheers due to his hoes anyway, and in this era, not a chance boyo.
they should've reformed it years ago, when mvp was still in the company. there was definately an opportunity, but as usual they missed it. as for a 1 night reunion, i don't really like it. like marty said, it'd be all about the rock. if they had mostly new members besides henry, i could get behind that. it shoulda been henry, truth, mvp, kofi, and there was someone else i wanted in i'm forgetting.
Due to The Rock's popularity and celebrity status, no. I actually wouldn't mind a one night reunion, but all the attention would be on The Rock rather than the group itself. Better to leave the memories alone...

I think it would be great to have the NOD back. Chances are it wouldn't last long but I'll watch every match on youtube next year.
Mark Henry could lead MVP, Truth, and even Shelton Benjamin as the (New) New Nation. They would terrorize as expected and have some okay promos. Probably try to recruit the Rock. He'll turn it down thus be injured until his next movie is done. Then as soon as they start to rise to championship heights like nWo or Evolution, It would be revealed that they are actually led, behind the scenes by either Teddy Long, Booker T, Or Ron Simmons Himself.
After that either Cena or Punk will be the hero for a while only to have their PPV match interrupted by The Rock. Then they'll eventually be written out of the story because Somebody just has to have that Intercontinental Title so bad.
Then Mark Henry retires, We never here DAMN again, Rock goes back to movies :Rock2, R-truth Comes up with another tag team and everyone else is either on Superstars or TNA.
Should wwe do a Nation of Domination reunion?
