WCW was way better than WWF/WWE


Especially nowadays, the WWE is worse than the WCW ever was! All their "talent" are jobbers. John Cena is terrible always had been, cody rhodes?? Who cares about him? CM punk?? Give a *beep* break. Fact is Eric Bischoff brought wrestling back from the brink of extinction, not the copy cat Vince Mcmahon. Its a shame WCW never got there act together towards the end, it still would be a superior product even today.

I would rather watch WCW during its deathbed days than this crap WWE puts out now. Screw entertainment and superstars, b.a. star and all the other bullsh!t they are putting out.

I don't want to see the fu.ckin muppets or 3 stooges. Punk, Cena and Orton all suck! WWE got mostly lame after 2004 and was a little cool when they brought back ECW in 2006, but that turned to sh!T after 2007. Paul Heyman left and it was obvious it was going to suck afterwards.

I will admit WWE does have some decent wrestlers. Most are the old school wrestlers that are still around but even a few new ones like Cesaro and Barrett.

They only wrestling show somewhat decent on TV is TNA iMPACT! and even that has been pretty shi.tty because of Hogan ruining it. I kind of liked Immortal for awhile but it fell apart all lame just like when nWo did.

WCW was very disorganized, especially during its "hey day." Sure, the WWE isn't how it was back in the day(1980's, 1990's/Attitude era) but I still watch it. When it comes to WCW, well during the Jim Crockett/Mid-Atlantic NWA days and even when it became WCW in 1988 to 1995, that was some classic wrestling. But when it comes to the "Monday Night War" era of WCW which was from 1995-2001, that, in my opinion, was complete garbage no matter if they nearly put the WWF out of business during that time. And yes, Eric Bischoff did make an attempt to reinvent the wrestling business. But because of his cockiness and over-confidence, he basically contributed to WCW's downfall. Every wrestler ranging from Hulk Hogan, Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase, Bret Hart and Ric Flair have stated that Eric Bischoff cared more about competing with and putting Vince McMahon and the WWF out of business than he did in promoting WCW. And even WWE announcer Jim "JR" Ross(who also was an announcer for WCW and the NWA) has stated that they(WWF/WWE) created wrestlers and built them up to be superstars. All WCW did was take all of the top WWF wrestlers just so they can put on a wrestling show. And even the aforementioned wrestlers warned Eric Bischoff about trying to compete with Vince McMahon but he wouldn't listen. An example I can give was before the Hulk Hogan/Goldberg match, Bischoff had been depressed about how the WWF was emerging with the "Attitude" era and "Nitro's" ratings were starting to suffer because of that. After telling Hulk Hogan about this problem, he basically convinced Eric Bischoff to set that match up to help WCW rise again. But if I were Hulk Hogan at that time, I would've used a line in Scarface to Eric Bischoff. The particular line I would've used was what Tony Montana(Al Pacino) said to that hitman that he killed for wanting to kill that journalist and his family but with some changes. Of course, the line would go, "We told you not to compete with Vince McMahon but no you wouldn't listen. Yeah, you stupid *beep* look at what's happening to WCW now." So in the end, Eric Bischoff and Vince Russo basically destroyed WCW while Vince McMahon basically put that company out of its misery once the WWF/WWE bought it in 2001.

WCW might have showcased,better wrestling per SE than the then-WWF did,but it had been poorly managed and that resulted in their eventual demise.Vince McMahon marketed his product much better,however.

WCW had a bad final year, but it amazing number one world wrestling champion for a long time. They beat raw 3.2 to 4.1 in ratings.
