I miss NWA/WCW definitely had great ppv events. And yea they did steal a lot of ideas from each other back in the day. After it was bought they tried to do Halloween Havoc and other events but they’ll never be like the old ones.
The roof for Hell in A Cell may have come from War Games but having space to brawl at ringside is something Cornette picked up from his time in Memphis where they have cages that go to the barriers.
Going by attitude era was all stole from ECW just a bigger stage but Vince always pushed ECW more than WcW that h8trd wasn't there the same but attitude era water dwn ECW Paul Ur a fkn legend
The LWO completely makes sense given Rey’s history. I personally think that it was good of them to do that. Also, WWE owns all things WCW, so it’s not really stealing. Besides you also have to remember that Rey was the only member of the LWO who did not turn their back on them, directly leading him to feud with the NWO.
I don't see the point of these types of lists. Wrestling promotions copy each other shocker. If you were to do that about other wrestling promotions you could argue AEW copies from WWE who copied from WCW who copied from NJPW and NWA and so on. I mean Bullet Club Gold in AEW is copied from Bullet Club, who was copied from nWo, who was copied from NJPW. This has Sidgwick's marky fingerprints all over it lol
Soooo…. Are we going to ignore that Mr. McMahon became an “evil boss” because of the Montreal Screwjob?? It had nothing to do with him copying Eric Bischoff.
This is a typical thing in rivalries. Marvel and DC for example have several characters that are blatant copies, often with no attempt at disguising this, either...
What are you talking about, "newer 'stolen' stuff"??? Everything mentioned about WCW was imitated before WWE bought WCW, and once they bought them, WCW ceased to exist. So what exactly are you talking about?
I disagree we need 2 world titles. There should be one World Champion and a Champion of Raw and Smackdown. It should work the same for Women. They’re supposed to be the World Champ and there’s 2 of them ? That doesn’t make sense. Seth absolutely deserved every bit of his Championship win, but it devalues whoever eventually beats Roman.
Some were from ECW, and some were just transferred from the WCW purchase. LWO was restarted by Rey, which is just carrying the torch. That’s not stealing
I don't wanna be that guy... But most of this stuff was stolen from ECW in the grand scheme of things. The edginess of the product, the Cruiserweight showcase, Raven's Nest...?
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ comparing The Ministry of Darkness to Raven’s Flock?? 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ So…. Are The House of Black & The Straight Edge Society a copy of Raven’s Flock also?
Who comes up with these ideas/titles cuz this is just stupid, I didn’t know I can steal something that you’ve technically owned for over 20 years now 😑😑😒😒😒
They didn't own WCW in the 90's.. everybody here in these comments seems to think they always owned WCW; WWF/E always mocked WCW (still do) but enjoyed success from their ideas while both companies were active. THAT'S what this list is about...
Imagine acting like WCW invented cruiserweight divisions. Japan and Mexico would like a word. Also, by the time WWE called it the Cruiserweight division they owned WCW
Some of the stuff from before WWE bought them, sure, what ever. Some of them are very basic concepts, others are a freaking stretch, but what ever. But how you gonna say WWE stole the lWo, when they literally own the lWo lmao Isn't that like saying WWE stole the nWo for 2002, when they literally own the rights to it? That's so stupid lmao
I'm all for the LWO to comeback because it didn't overstay it's welcome like nWo. It's just with the exception of Rey, they just look like a bunch of jobbers to me. None of those guys will make it. Santos may get a us or ic title run but I doubt even that will happen

@@korywilliamsO.G.1 yes lex luger did he was a part of the four horsemen and Hulk Hogan got fired by Vince Sr and then went to WCW they were both in NWA/WCW
I think the narrator means that the WWF stole stuff from WCW _IN THE PAST,_ when they were a separate entity from the WWF. Like back in the 90's when the company existed, not when it went out of business and when the WWF acquired its assets.
This was the height of wrestling in every way! Best storytelling and incredible matches. Both of these companies pushed each other to be better and better and it was awesome!
Hate to break it to you but more people watch now compared to back then. Weekly TV Ratings aren’t everything especially when your product is more focused on being a global brand rather than a national company.
The past needs to stay in the past. With every new generation, there needs to be something new. We don't need an updated LWO. Hell, even Rey Mysterio can't get them over.

None of this changes the fact that there are 49million kangaroos in Australia and 3.5million people in Uruguay right now ! ..which means if the kangaroos were to invade Uruguay, each person will have to fight 14 kangaroos.🦘 😤
1993 Vince played an evil version of himself down in the USWA in Memphis, so Bischoff wasn't the originator of that after all.
And herb Abrams did it on the UWF before that
But technically still WCW did do it before WWE lol idk sounded good
Fun fact: Both the Great American Bash and War Games were creations of Dusty Rhodes who Vince McMahon ridiculed every chance he got.
Facts
The Vince McMahon character began in 1993 in Memphis Wrestling
Never knew until past few months, it's fascinating to watch
How is Rey paying tribute to Eddy “stealing” lmao
More so, how is it stealing when the gimmick and character was made in WWE
He's paying tribute to Eddy *by* stealing
Because WhatCulture think copying or paying homage to anything is stealing, but only if it's WWE doing it
Also Rey changing his mind 25 years later is a crime.

Hell in a Cell is a major improvement and still has what most of us consider to be the best match of all time
no war games come near above average HIAC
