[quote name='MorPhiend']Come on now. Most of that was '99 and beyond. You can't say that WCW was defined by '99-'01. That's not fair. That's after Ted Turner and Eric Bischoff were both out of the picture. That is not the company that they built.[/QUOTE]
Alright fine, but if it's not fair to judge WCW by some of it's later angles/characters, how is it fair to moan about how terrible WWE is now? Most people here would say that The Rock was a blast to watch, that Kurt Angle put on some of the best wrestling of all time, that Steve Austin revived the WWF at a very low point for the company and so on.
I am looking at the whole WCW picture and really I think their problems began when Hogan arrived. In '94 he had already lost a step that he couldn't afford to lose and from then on, the title was more often than not, around his non-jobbing, out of touch, pompous ass. I say this as a Hogan fan (yes, it's nostalgia) but to think that WCW's problems began in '99 is ridiculous. And for the record, the standard "drop Sting from the rafters" Nitro ending began before Starrcade '97.
Because I don't want this to get heated, this is the last of it from me. Did I enjoy WCW? Sure. Did I enjoy it as much as the WWF or ECW, certainly not.
