It's funny though, when WCW had both Russo & Eric you'd think they would make miracles but the trust between the 2 just wasn't there. The real reason WCW fell apart was because of the merger between AOL and Time Warner in 2001. Ted Turner did't have much control & the "new guys" in charge weren't too fond of wrestling. Eric was supposed to buy out WCW but WWF got the deal. I think if WCW lasted a bit longer (Eric & co buying WCW) I think they would've got their shit together & made a comeback. WCW while falling apart>>> WWE today

nWo > Any other group. I still remember when the Outsiders invaded WCW. And I agree, the merger led to the demise of WCW.
It's true, WCW did push the same players but they made WWE become competitive. When you take out the competition, you have no gauge for how much you should raise the bar. Look at the angles WWE use to do with DX or the whole Kane vs. Undertaker thing as well as the Y2J save us thing. Now, they're uninspired storylines. I think TNA is working its way up the ladder. They're using the vets so that they can bring in more viewers but displaying new talent as well.

^Actually Austin was in WCW, so was Triple H. But because of guys like Flair (who had some control in WCW back then) the new guys weren't getting pushed. Bischoff could've been a factor to that too. I've heard both Austin & Eric speak on this, I don't really know who to believe.

Yeah TNA is going in the right direction, of course they do fuck up here & there but I see TNA getting big in 09. Not as big to go on Monday nights head to head with RAW but still considered as some sort of "threat".

Yeah, I'd say another year or two and Smackdown or RAW could have a problem on their hands.
