A company that never made Das Wunderkind a 7x World Champion DESERVED to go under.
How dare you talk bad of Mr. Big Brautwurst!
😂
Right?
That dance lives rent free in my head

"The Four Horsemen were the Baron Corbin of WCW" was not a take I expected to hear today.
Guys you have to stop saying that. Goldberg did not hurt his arm until almost a year after the finger poke he got into a feud with Scott Hall while Hogan was feuding with Flair and then just dithered into the mid card. He had a feud with Bam Bam Bigelow before he hurt his arm. The idea that Goldbergs injury derailed that booking is Kevin Nash revising history after the fact to make himself look better.
In a timeline where Sting wins Starrcade 97 in proper fashion, Raven is the first title challenger
Crow Sting and Raven = 💲💲💲💲
The Starcade 97 fumble should have been ranked higher, because the ramifications were longstanding
And fatal
Ohhhh man if we have a Countout today we’re likely not gonna get a Review show. Looks like we’re gonna get a two hour+ podcast tomorrow with all the shit that’s happened since Friday
Raw hasn't even started yet and there's tons of news dropping already today 👀
nWo bloat was actually necessary, and would have been great if they did it right. For starters, you can't realistically have 4 or 6 guys taking out the roster of an entire company week after week. The angle was they were trying to destroy WCW, and that would require numbers. Second, and more importantly, I read and heard in shoots since that the idea was to eventually run two shows, one WCW and the other nWo, as if they would then be two different companies competing. For that nWo would need its own roster. Complete with heels and faces at launch (Black & White vs Wolfpack).
They just didn't know how to get there.
When everyone and their uncles is NWO, its no longer cool. Totally killed the cool factor. Dead. Burried.
No Smackdown recap?
Nothing like a WCW video by Steve and Larson to bring the nostalgia. Their first video I saw was the "10 ways WCW died" waaaaay back in 2016
Raven was the biggest miss and Jericho but his debut was dope in wwf
It Starrcade 97 had gone right, Raven would have made a good challenger for the belt. Crow Sting vs Raven.
No Steve, you aren’t alone on that nWo shirt with the blended colors (nWo Black logo with the red and white colors behind it). I remember seeing that and going “meh.”
But I will admit I did like that silver nWo logo…just not nWo 2000.
Larson over here Luthering around with Granny's Peach Iced Tea.

in a passing thought,
larson booked it better
Number 1. Never putting the belt on El Dandy, he's a jam up guy!
WCW’s mistreatment of Eddie Guerrero is one of many creative blunders that WCW dropped the ball. Once Eddie cut that promo on Eric Bischoff, he knew that Eddie isn’t happy because you could’ve use him a spot in the main event level because Eddie was well-loved by critics and audiences. But because of Hogan’s egotistical Creative Control clout still continues to grow (Hogan can’t lose, brother. That’s in his WCW contract), it’s no surprise that WCW was starting to feel the pressure when you realize that the company was starting to go downhill by late 1998-early 99.
nWo as it's own separate company was the rough draft of brands being split. Imagine Thunder was nWo and Nitro was WCW
Other way round
Spray painted belts is concerned, Evil recently spray painted the IWGP world title black and now Mox carries it around and it looks like it pops out more. Somewhat reminds me of the ECW title when Lashley had it
The 1st ball drop was the second that a non ex wwe guy became an nwo member
For the cage match you mentioned, it ended way worse than how you said it. Not to be mean. Because it was a "First Blood Steel Cage Match," which ended in a pinfall where Hogan was pinned while he was in a figure four leglock.
Drinking energy drink from glass just seems wrong
I might be wrong but you forgot about Virgil.
They should’ve gave Lance storm the WCW title
I disagree about the Raven thing, that character was just never any good in my option. NWO 2000 might have worked if Bert didn't get hurt. The Four Horsemen were always over rated. AA looked like your friend's step dad never gave "I'm a big scary wrestler that can work as an enforcer" vibes that he was suppose to be. The streak ending was fine and if you re-watch it the fans loved it at least at the time. Nash was believable to take it, and the streak and undefeated streak had to end at some point. I'm not a Bret Hart fan but I can agree after the screw job he should have been pushed hard as hell in WCW from the start at that point he was one of the most talked about wrestlers.
Not enough El Dandy
Did they not do the Smackdown recap
You forgot Steiner, Luger, Sting, & Dusty Rhodes
Did Larson say he was drinking snot
I wanna see that NWO belt Steve was talking about but I can't find it! 😭😭
raven 😞
"It may look like urine, but its snot."
:( I was a fan of LWO
NWO Elite
Doesn't really make sense that you complain about NWO bloat and then complain about an NWO civil war. I mean, duh, the one follows from the other.
Www
Cool I’m the first one here
I liked raven's flock.
I liked Lance storm team Canada stable.
I liked the being of nwo.
I liked the surfer sting.
I liked macho Man Randy Savage.
I liked the Steiner brothers.
I liked the four horseman.
Goldberg was built strong.
