World Championship Wrestling 2000
WCW is in a world of turbulance. Since removing Eric Bischoff from the company's creative control back in September; replacing him with the team of Vince Russo and Ed Farara the company started to see an increase in horrendous storylines with knee jerk outcomes; a slump in ratings and a huge dive in ticket sales. With their biggest pay-per-view of the year upon them, the company needed to make a huge change in their product to turn things around and start the new millennium off right. Unfortunately things didn't go quite the way that Russo and WCW executives wanted it to go.
