Yeah, it was a clusterfuck with poor booking and lots of wasted talent.

Kind of like TNA today. They are going nowhere fast even with their talent pool, which surpasses WWE's.

"THE" MoSav:
yeah no competition equals complacency, but i still enjoy watching

WCW had issues when they brought back Eric Bischoff and had Vince Russo with him. Before Russo, Eric was burned out and left WCW with Kevin Sullivan, who used favoritism and was notorious for holding back new talent in favor of broken old talent. Sullivan I put in responsibility as the cause of the fall of WCW, that and that Eric Bischoff was not as driven as Vince McMahon. Eric wanted to compete with WWF by doing what WWF wouldn't do, feature the cruiserweights, offer huge contracts which forced the WWF to build new talent, and push it's own new talent to main event level like The Giant and Bill Goldberg.

By the time WCW was bought, it was over though. The company was going down hill, trying to use gimmicks to comeback, and was getting killed when it came to developing new talent. Yeah, they finally put the belt on Booker T, but at the same time, WCW needed to push more main eventers, along with Booker T and Scott Steiner and Bill Goldberg. The gimmicks were down hill, the rivalries were uninspired and the money to buy huge talent was now caught in a merger.
