Do You Still Miss WCW?

Over 11 years on and in this dark period in wrestling, who else still misses WCW and wishes they'd made it through without crazy, old, egomaniac Vince getting his hands on the company? The industry today would be better for it.

More than anything I just miss the feel of WCW. I miss the talent, the logo, the arena's, I miss Nitro, I miss WCW Worldwide on channel 5, hell I even miss Tony Schiavone and Scott Hudson on commentary.

Do people that love WCW love TNA too? I never watched WCW much, but I love TNA more than WWE now.

WCW was nothing more than ABA(in terms of basketball) or WHA(in terms of hockey), if you don't know what those 2 leagues are, them look them up.

Don't know why people ever wanted WCW to win over WWE. Minus the 2-3 years WCW had of being great, do you really think if WCW won monday night wars, they'd have been better after that?

That'd be like saying you'd want Nintendo to have beaten Sony and Microsoft in console wars. Sure, Nintendo did have great stuff in 90s like gameboy,n64 and all that, but if Nintendo was THE gaming console out there, then things like the Wii would be the main thing people use today. That's what it'd be like if WCW had won the monday night wars.

Learn your history. Nintendo crushed the competition with NES and SNES before Sony and Microsoft ever thought of making a console. If Nintendo had beaten Sony and Microsoft in console wars, we most likely would not have had the Wii, which was made to be a niche product and instead had a more traditional HD gaming console. Also, we'd have Nintendo's amazing 1st party games along with the 3rd party support that the XBox 360 and PS3 now enjoy.

I'd take WCW in 1999 or a lot of 2000 over today's WWE. Both are bad though. The final few months of WCW in late 2000 and early 2001 were so brutal that even today's WWE is better. I can remember Sid and Steiner main eventing Starrcade without much build up at all and with all the creative team changes over the final year and a half or so of the company things rarely made sense.

Today's WWE gets away with a lackluster product because there's no competition. When WWE sucked in the mid 90's you could always switch over to Nitro and when WCW started to suck we could switch over to RAW. Now one is dead and we get the other shoved down our throat.

What I really miss is that old WCW formula. Shows with a great undercard for work rate and high spots, followed by big time Semi and Main Events that felt important even if the actual in-ring wasn't so great. There were things they did that Vince really didn't/doesn't have much interest in eg. Luchadores and Japanese talent.

Agree with El Chapo though, I miss ECW even more.

Yes, especially on nights like tonight after watching RAW. Earlier I watched WCW Starrcade 1997 and WCW SuperBrawl VIII, and I remembered how good those of use who were kids during the MNW and AE had it- we had WCW, WWF, CMLL, AAA, (ooops, I meant WWE), and ECW. Now we just have WWE, TNA, CMLL, AAA, and if you're up late enough, and your provider will air it, ROH.
