When did Scott Hall quickly become expendable as a relevant nWo member?

Hall might've been the first to initiate the entire nWo angle and was soon joined by his fellow Kliq friend Kevin Nash, but Hulk Hogan was the groundbreaking franchise-caliber performer who shocked the entire world by turning heel at Bash At The Beach '96 when he leg dropped Randy Savage and indirectly turned against Sting and Lex Luger in favor of joining up with Hall and Nash to form the New World Order.
At first, the nWo was composed of only their Original Big Three members, but as soon as The Giant, Buff Bagwell, Randy Savage, Curt Hennig and Scott Steiner all joined the nWo within the life of the nWo's prime years, Hall quickly became expendable to the nWo and also became quickly overshadowed by the nWo add-ons.
Hogan and Nash were the true megastars of the nWo, Savage was a megastar miscast as a role player, Giant was a solid star in his own right, Steiner was the nWo's one and only breakout singles star whose career actually benefitted from being an nWo member, Bagwell and Hennig were role players just like Hall except Bagwell and Hennig knew their roles and did their jobs better while Hall constantly shifted in and out of WCW from 1998 onwards due to trips to drug rehab.
While Hogan and Nash were the engines that kept the nWo running, who were the other nWo members there to pick up the pieces Hall shamefully left behind when he was in and out of WCW? Giant, Bagwell, Savage, Hennig and Steiner all picked up the pieces left behind by Hall.
So therefore, Scott Hall is a massive backstage instigator and an excuse-making backstage troublemaker.
