    One thing that always stood out during this time period and maybe a little before was that all the guys liked wearing their street clothes vs their wrestling gear. They liked showing off their Tommy Hilfiger jeans to look cool and were just there to deliver a promo. It was as if they didn't technically want to be there by not dressing in their wrestling gear. I don't know, maybe it was just me but that always felt off/odd.

    I remember Halloween Havoc 1998 and was so disappointed as a kid watching the video when Sting was stretchered out. I often wonder: Where was he between Havoc and late-March 99? One of the things that never gets talked about from 98. I heard things like the injuries being legit, other things being simply working on his 'personal demons'.
    Ultimately, for the best if it meant Sting got clean/found God/etc.

    I think the main problem aside from a lot of the members being essentially groupies, just sitting and walking around backstage doing really nothing, was there was no strong babyface to oppose them. Goldberg got neutered and Sting was taking time off. No one else was built to join the main event scene at the time. So they were too overpowered and it became too one sided to hold enough fans' interest. It was different when the nWo first formed in '96 and were really fresh and exciting.

Outside of the nWo as well Hart could’ve had some great matches and angles; Bret vs DDP, relive an old feud with Bret vs Kurt Hennig, put a stable together and have the hart foundation vs the 4 horsemen in a war games match, Bret vs Jericho and Bret vs Raven before they left. Bret vs Mysterio, Bret vs Eddie, and they never did have a proper blowoff for the storied Bret vs El Dandy feud they were hyping on the hotline so much….So many matches could’ve happened but didn’t because they made Bret a whiny heel with a broken leg. He was a good heel but a much better baby face and he came in with so much white hot heat, even if he didn’t get hurt like he did they wasted 3 years of his services they could’ve spent getting talent and the overall product over.

    Hulk and his damn ego killed WCW. He always had to be on top. This why Russo embarrassed him at Bash at Beach 00. 🤣🤣. I've notice while watching these reviews, McMahon controlled where Hulkamania was heading. That's why he really left in 93. He wanted to go somewhere where he had to be in control and WCW unfortunately gave him way too much lean way. When he came back 02, the left again because of his WM pay cut but it was really because he thought he was going to be in control in a roster with the likes of The Rock and Austin. Yeah Ok! Then 05 he wanted to go over Shawn, like wtf! That's why Shawn showed his ass how comedic he really look.

      The steroid scandal played a bigger part in Hogan leaving when he did but yes Vince didn't bow down to Hogan like Bischoff cuz he didn't need to. Yes he took his lumps in the subsequent years after Hogan, but eventually he righted the ship once Austin, Rock, DX, etc.. got big.

    The most frustrating thing about this time in WCW: WAY too many face and heel turns. Kevin Nash had the most here, going from face to heel after the Fingerpoke of Doom in January '99, then turning face again after DDP's heel turn and World Title win in April, then back to a heel after Hogan came back in July and beat Savage for the World Title. Then there was the Hogan and Flair double-turn at Uncensored (Flair turning heel, Hogan turning face).

    • @wolfpacindahouse1
      @wolfpacindahouse1 3 роки тому +7

      Also while Hogan and Nash both turned Face in April, Scott Steiner who was still on tv despite not wrestling due to his injury still was coming out with the Wolfpac music was a heel and later inducted Rick into the Wolfpac even though it was over.

      I felt like during the last 18 months or so of WCW (so pretty much the time when Russo was the booker), there were far too many "tweeners".
      And I felt like WCW wasn't listening to their fans at all as far as who should be a babyface and who should be a heel.
      An example is Goldberg. What was accomplished by turning him heel?

    • @danielrierson6683

      Hogan talking gangsta is the equivalent of Vanilla Ice growing dreads, rapping like a tough guy and acting like he is the baddest dude on the planet. Comical. WCW was a joke at this point and I continued to watch just laughing through every episode. Sad, because I was a huge fan in those days too. At that point I just watched WWF and only tuned in to WCW when WWF went to commercial.

    The WWF knew (usually) when it was time to end an angle.
    Stone Cold vs. Mr. McMahon was THE feud of the Attitude Era. But it was running out of steam by mid-1999 especially after Vince was revealed as the "Greater Power".
    So they did the smart thing and ended the feud at Fully Loaded 1999.
    WCW didn't seem to understand that the nWo was passe after three years of it.

    • @anthonyanderson9303
      @anthonyanderson9303 10 місяців тому

      Exactly right. They kind of shifted over to the McMahon-Helmsley regime later that year with the Rock being the main protagonist, especially once Austin went out. Of course by the time you get to WM 17 and Austin shaking hands with McMahon, that was officially the end of an era.

They try too hard to make wrestling like the past instead of trying to give us straight good storylines, feuds & matches. And even in today's wrestling, they can't find that magic. That certain magic that made wrestling so good back in the day. It's sad really. Most wrestling fans are desperately holding on trying to find some good in wrestling. I mean, sure we got some good wrestlers, storylines, feuds and matches (every once in awhile) but nope, it will never be this good again.

      2. Every storyline has been done. Its all re-hashed three times over now
      3. Wrestlers had to draw based on TV time. Now it’s just based on a brand name like WWE. Meaning, the wrestler had to buy u in with their promos and or ring storytelling not like it is where the wrestler is monotone/like a robot reading off a script word for word because they work for WWE so they don’t have to worry about having a good match or promo because they know the audience just buys in because of the WWE name
