Bischoff was gone after Bash at the Beach 2000. Bad booking didn't kill WWF in the early 90's. Jaime Kelner killed WCW by cancelling Nitro and Thunder in 2001. It still had decent ratings at the end.
Anyone under Ted Turner didn't like wrestling, didn't want wrestling, and wanted Turner to drop wrestling. When the Time Warner merger happened, Ted was out and they could get rid of WCW. Dating back to Black Saturday, Vince was given a special perk where if they sold WCW, he'd get the first crack at buying it which is unfortunate as he didn't need to buy it. There was also talk of Bischoff wanting to buy it along with DDP and Chris Jericho. In all honesty, I'd rather live in a world where they bought WCW, rebuilt it, made it a competitor to WWE again, and keep AEW out of the ideas for stuff to break WWE's grasp on wrestling in America.
Crap story writing. Hogan thought it was all about him. David Flair. How about the fact they did nothing with their cruiserweight division. Russo did so go to help WWE take off and then completely bombed in WCW
What really happened to wcw was this they where spending way too much money for talent that didnt deserved the pay. Time Warner the owner of wcw lost interest in the company and was not willing to give mad money so the main talent left to greener postures aka wwe. So in conclusion it was bad management that killed wcw not rhe figure poke of doom. Buffer was paid weekly 80k to announce lets get ready to rumble really .
@@A-ListAlverson No, it was terrible, but bad booking did not kill WCW. Not even close. WCW's days were numbered once the AOL Time warner merger happened. Full stop. That is what killed WCW.

Final straw for me was the "Finger poke of doom", between Hogan and Nash. I couldn't get into WCW after that. It was just too stupid.
thing one: bischoff
Oh, he had HELP!

Aew is essentially WCW.
IMO, the problem with WCW was they never built up any of the young guys. The other problem was Hogan with his "creative control".
