Agreed. One such problem was the AOL-Time Warner merger that was finalized around this time. How this affected WCW was that some of the executives (particularly the ones with the most power) behind the merger felt as though WCW & wrestling in general was too "low brow" for their company & wanted to get rid of it even though it was drawing decent ratings. As a result, it forced WCW to do whatever it took to not get booted off the air & keep the ratings decent.
Bookings from the same Vince Russo that everyone keeps defending because Vince McMahon once said he needs to hire a nanny. That's nothing compared to the disgusting storylines/segments he had a hand in. Whether it was WWE, WCW or TNA (yes, he worked for TNA as well). Dude is just a clown 🤡🙄
One of my favorite dumb angles of WCW is when Goldberg gets arrested by the cops and they're just standing out there arguing that he didn't do anything but they still got to take him in And then they take them to the police station but he gets back to the arena so fast. That means the police station is right next to the arena 😂
@@kith1235 that makes it so much more hilarious. Because Goldberg's whole thing was if I go I'm going to miss them an event. 😂 He's stalling the time 😆 He just had to go and then he would be out before the main event That's WCW right there
@@ernestcruz6316 that just makes sense so much better because Goldberg was worried about missing the main event but he was the one stalling more than them taking him in 😂
I've heard about all these things individually from What Culture over the years, but this is the first time I ever heard they were all on the same PPV.
I was there live for New Blood Rising. I had stopped watching all the time as a kid and was really upset and confused I didn’t get to see Goldberg proper. Thankfully WWE Raw cane to Vancouver in 2003 and I got to see him live again.
I have been rewatching WCW from its Golden Days all the way till the 2000s what the f*** moments And I've got attached to the stars of WCW but my God the booking was crap and funny I laughed so many times
Baha, let's not forget the commentary team thanking Scott Steiner for being professional and taking the powerbomb since Goldberg wouldn't, even though the script said he was supposed to.
all of this dialogue about "scripts", "doing business" and "going over", was really just Vince Russo showing his contempt for wrestling and trying his hardest to expose it and make fun of it, because he thought he could make it better by shitting all over traditions. You can claim he had good ideas at some point but this is the reason why we hate him.
To everyone asking, this isn’t a re-upload, Wrestling With Wregret did it a week or two ago. Wrestling channels are like soap operas nowadays, just copy each other’s stuff.

The fact that all of this trash was on one single pay per view is absolutely mind-blowing .
I low-key think Simon loves the Judy Bagwell on the Forklift match
😂
Actually wcw were having problems before VR showed up. VR just made things worse in WCW.

If watching wrestling has taught me one thing, it's that nothing good ever happens when a wild slapnuts appears.
Nah brother, thats the best part 😂
Keiji Muto (as himself and as The Great Muta) wrestled for nearly twenty-four years afterwards, Simon...
I was thinking the same thing...was he confusing Muta with some other wrestler??

Simon saying WCW like Scott Hall 🤣
WCW gone but never forgotten 😎
Rip Scott Hall 🙏
Simon 👍

Actually, you're pretty close. That arena in Atlanta was across the street from the police station.
Yes it was directly across the street. Lol. And for some reason they needed to escort him back.

Booker didn't jump over, he went with the buy out
8:28 the point is so they cant get away when you got one guy who just keeps running away you put a strap on him so he cant leave
This is basically a pseudo retro ups and downs😂
Is this a re upload. I could swear I watched this a couple weeks ago

I Just Thought Of Something Can You Imagine WWE Bringing This PPV Back It Would Be Called NXT: New Blood Rising.
Re-upload?
This is like those retro ups and downs that we subjected simon to like new blood rising and december to dismember
bring back retro ups and down please--thank you
It says this came out 2 hours ago but I saw it last week. Is this a reupload?
I have been rewatching WCW from its Golden Days all the way till the 2000s what the f*** moments
And I've got attached to the stars of WCW but my God the booking was crap and funny I laughed so many times
I just remember getting migraines watching this era of WCW. Now I have another watching this 😂
Re upload??
Kidman was only dating Torrie during this time. He didn't marry Torrie in real life until 3 years after that
Possession is 9/10th. of the law is a common misconception. How many people are or were in prison for Possession of stolen property?

Kevin Nash ALWAYS took wrestling and kayfabe THAT seriously in WCW AND TNA; i.e., not at all... 🤣🤣
For someone who's goofy wrestling for life, how could you possibly hate this? It's all goofy.
Lance Storm was SUPER over during WCW’s Canada tour. So of course they had him lose and look like an idiot the whole time.
🤦♂️
Why was this taken down and re-uploaded? The original seemed fine
Is this a reupload? Because I’m remembering seeing that already.
Its pronounced Wuba Cee Wuba, and then the goofy laugh
This is a re-upload right? Or am I just losing it?
Yo looks like Johnny sins 😂
Wcpw worst booking ?
I love wcw booking it was so funny 😂😂😂
😁⏫
Thank God Simon Miller doesn't have hair or else he would have pulled it all out watching this pay-per-view.
WCW freaking rockz!
Simone. Bro. You shouldn’t shave under your chin like that. Gotta leave the hair there. Only shave the neck. It looks really the way you have it.
💜
Wow AEW looked really different back then...
why do u fake laugh so much?
It’s his thing.
