I remember watching WCW right up to its death because it became the best sitcom on TV.



One of the worst things that they did in WCW is they decided to turn Goldberg Heel, this was after they completely devalued their world championship.


Yeah the Finger poke of doom was devastating, The Goldberg raped Elizabeth accusation was worse, not just because of the accusation of rape (original story that they had to soften). But Goldberg was arrested and taken to a police station across the street from the arena, and it took him 2 hours to get back after he was released.


They burned out the belts and devalued them, they kept hotshopping heel turns and face turns to the point where the fans just gave up (Remember Buff Bagwells return from his broken neck, he could have been a huge baby face, but instead went heel and became the 500th member of the NWO).


We look fondly back on the attitude era, but it had a lot of tremendously bad booking as well, and WWE really went into a spiral after the death of wcw that they still really haven't recovered from.
