The Craziest Time To Be A Pro Wrestling Fan. World Championship Wrestling broke away from the National Wrestling Alliance in the early 1990s and under Eric Bischoff completely changed the pro wrestling landscape. From poaching it's rival WWE's top stars in Kevin Nash, Hulk Hogan, Macho Man Randy Savage, Mr. Perfect and so many more. Ric Flair became the face of the company and through his rivalries with the likes of Sting, Big Van Vader and the N.W.O took WCW to new heights. We look at the company's relationship with Japanese wrestling brands in New Japan and the collision in Korea event which was the biggest attended wrestling show of all time. Through Vince Russo and his terrible creative decisions, such as David Arquette, On A Pole Matches, the finger poke of doom and the incident at Bash at the Beach involving Jeff Jarrett and Booker T.

How different would Hogan's Legacy be if he woulda just took the loss against Jarrett & Sting clean. He should have lost 1,2,3 after a knock down drag out fight for your life type battle..I think that would have went a long way in not throwing a lot of other people under the bus, Heck WCW might still be around.

My mom hated us watching wrestling as kids. We all came to an agreement that Monday and Thursday were Opposite Day so when she would yell to ask us if we were watching we didn’t feels as guilty saying no

I think it's hilarious that Russo thinks that if he would have had more time to write and produce that the show would have been better lmao he loved being out there in front of that camera and always reassuring everyone wrestling is fake so people shouldn't take it seriously but all he did was played out his boy hood dream and won the belt but it doesn't mean anything lmao

Good lord, Hogan claims he came up with the NWO.....but for him, Beefcake the Nasty Boys. First of all, he didnt come up with the NWO. Second of all, his NWO would have been a friggin joke. Third of all, Hogan looked like a complete tool the entire NWO run and it only got worse with the outfits he wore. He owes the entire thing to Hall and Nash's coolness...cause he was the total opposite of cool.....then there's early 99 Hogan, when his looking like a complete wanna-be tool hit its peak.

To me, the difference between the two was that it felt like WCW was run by Nash and Hogan. Whereas WWF still felt like a product controlled by Vince. Whether it's true or not it still felt that way. WWF had plenty of over the top stupid moments. Milk trucks, granny s**, socks over the hand. But it all felt like a part of the creative process, not the whim of part timers.

There was often some great American wrestlers coming to quebec to face Ricky Martel, Dino Bravo and Abdullah. The Road Warriors vs Bravo-Martel was a classic.

I was a kid in this era also. I received the game Revenge on the 64 for Xmas without knowing anything about WCW bc we diidnt have cable! I knew kids preferred WWF to WCW, but didnt know why, and I didnt know Revenge was actually the best wrestling game available. And I had no idea why Hogan's finisher was this finger poke that did no damage. It made me hate Hogan and forced me to learn what his "real" finisher was...and I was even more incredulous to learn he did a leg drop off the corner when his spirit was full? I never caught on that Sting was a Taker ripoff, or even that some of the characters were fictional. I couldn't put it past WCW to sign a Frankenstein monster among others 😅

Man youre extremely good at this. Any xha😢 you'll ever do a AWA video? They used to be the biggest territory, half the wwf 80s roster came from there. Bischoff, Alundra Blaze, Rick Rude. Had the best tag eister and women's roster.
I grew up on the last good years before WCW ate em.

WCW was drawing 3.5 million during its “death spiral”. Its closure was political nonsense. AOL Time Warner thought it was too good for “trashy wrasslin’”, neutered it then killed it. Sold it off for peanuts in what was surely a corrupt deal. WCW produced 156 hours of prime time a year, even if they “lost” 80$ mill in 2000, that’s 533k per hour. A prime time tv series averaged 1.5$ million per hour production costs. Killing WCW was horrible business.

I watched both. Only because it had older top WWF talent. Nitro would start at 7 pm Raw at 8. We would watch all of Raw then watch the re run of Nitro. Imo WWF was always been better than the rest. 😮
