When I was a kid watching Raw and Nitro I developed a strong perception that the difference was that WWF’s top guys were on every show, usually getting physical, but in WCW once all the top guys got their contracts you’d hardly see them. You got two hours of a really good undercard that got talked over in favor of whatever the NWO was doing, but you never got to see Hall, Nash, Sting or (god forbid) Hogan wrestle for free. Forget competitive matches, they would just do talk segments and maybe a beatdown—it was all Tier 2 and below guys actually working. And this was when WCW was good—do the actual facts back this up?

That would be true up until about 99, after a while the low/mid card guys were mediocre at best either because of their limits or the terrible booking, or both. E: as of January 99 the usually reliable undercard is mostly "boy I hope you like Lash Leroux, Billy Kidman getting squashed, and whatever we're calling Prince Iukea this week" DJExile fucked around with this message at 18:39 on Dec 8, 2021 |

I mean, Sting's biggest angle ever was based on not wrestling for almost a year before the showdown at Starrcade. Hogan, Nash, Hall, Sting, Goldberg, Luger, Steiner, and Flair were all working fewer matches than Austin, Rock, Foley, HHH, Undertaker, and Kane during the same period. In some cases only a fraction of the matches their WWF counterparts were doing. Austin's schedule was inconsistent because of injuries, but often the top WCW guys were working half as many dates as their WWF counterparts. WWE's strategy was that you got to see the belt-holders and top guys a lot, just not in singles matches that went to a clean finish. They did a lot of tag matches (which I liked) and a lot of Raws that started with interminable promos from non-wrestlers and ended with multiple run-ins and a DQ (if I want that poo poo I'll watch WCW).

Forget competitive matches, they would just do talk segments and maybe a beatdown—it was all Tier 2 and below guys actually working. And this was when WCW was good—do the actual facts back this up? Depends on the guys. Sting didn't wrestle at all on TV in 97 until after Starrcade, but that was the gimmick and part of what made him so popular. Nash wrestled a little more than once a month on Nitro, Hall about twice a month, Hogan every 6 weeks or so. But it wasn't like they did squashes during that period. You'd get poo poo finishes, but you saw a lot of poo poo finishes on Raw. The irony is as the show got worse, the big stars wrestled more. Hogan wrestled on TV twice as much in 99 as he did in 97. That number would have went up even higher in 2000 if he didn't walk out. However, in 1997 the top week to week babyface was Lex Luger. He was hugely popular, incredibly underrated for his role in WCW's hot period. He wrestled 30 times on Nitro that year. You'd get a Luger match more times than not on Nitro. So you got a good mix of the stars who mattered.

I give you the FOUR FACES OF ONOO: https://twitter.com/davidbix/status/1469111138684186627 We've got: * March 1995: Kazuo "Sonny" Onoo ("Martial Arts Match" referee/former PKA Bantamweight Champion) * April 1995: Kensuke Ishikawa (Japanese representative on the WCW International Board of Directors) * August 1995: Kazuo Ishikawa (Japanese color analyst on commentary for Collision in Korea with Eric Bischoff and Mike Tenay) * November 1995: Sony Onoo (Evil Japanese businessman/NJPW representative) Despite two of them being named "Sonny Onoo," it's clear that all four are supposed to be distinct characters.

Probably fingerpoke/fallout with how they handled Goldberg. That boom was never going to be back for a while. The actual company as an entity though was when Turner canceled the TV deals. You can survive a while with tv and investors and maybe you can get hot again with enough time.
