You have forgotten more about the demise of WCW than I ever knew. I was casually watching wrestling during that late period and I had no idea of all the poo poo that was going on behind the scenes. As the casual uninformed fan, I stopped watching because the nWo storyline was just getting played to death and it seemed like the run-ins were just relentless. I remember the nWo all running out to interfere at least three times in a single show and it got frustrating as hell because it seemed like nothing was ever really resolved at the end. I wasn't around when it finally tanked.

I wonder whatever happened to that Women's Title that Madusa dropped in the trash.

I also remember when the nWo did a live conversion of the WCW Nitro set to an nWo one and the ratings during that time just nose dived. It was like 20+ minutes of newly converted nWo stage workers busting their rear end.

The whole set takeover thing has actually aged quite well if you ask me because watching it now is amusing and a little nostalgic. However doing something like this during the Monday Night War and in Prime time was just stupid as hell.

Von Linus posted:You know, I didn't watch Nitro or Raw at the time, but I can understand the rationale in the abstract. It was the NWO at their height adn they were showing what would happen if Hogan beat Sting, and the NWO took over and changed everything. Admitedly the execution was appalling but the idea was sound. I just would have had the set built beforehand, I suppose. Could be wrong here but as I recall Eric pulled that stunt to gauge the reaction of a possible nWo Monday Nitro and keep Thunder as a regular WCW. Of course when the ratings nose dived during the set redesign the idea was scrapped. Yeah, building it before hand with some small shorter clips of the nWo taking over might have been a better idea.

I loved the promos that Macho Man used to cut with Sting and some of the other guys around 1995 in WCW. They were just awesome. Botchamania did a year of PPV Macho Man Promos on youtube but I can't find it anymore because I think youtube shut down his account.
