Eric Bischoff almost put the WWF out of the business
well which was the mistake wcw did to let wwe take the lead back in the ratings back in the 90´s??, Im just read nitro beat raw lost 50 weeks in a row, they have it all, with the nwo being so hot at that time, goldberg, bret hart , what happen?
Re: Eric Bischoff almost put WWF out of the business
NWO fizzled out and everything not counting cruiserweights was shit.
Politics, Creative control, Throwing money away, Terrible storylines, you name it, it happened.
And at the same time Attitude Era in WWF hit full stride and never looked back.

Not to mention the fact that WWE started to push stars like Stone Cold and The Rock while WCW still had Hogan and Sting main eventing PPV's.

Re: Eric Bischoff almost put WWF out of the business
The main problem with WCW was that they were too focus on what the WWE was doing and putting them out of business that they lost track of trying to better their product. They had the NWO storyline, but they milked it to death. Not too mention all the money they spent on buying out the WWE and ECW talent. Putting big time PPV matches on free TV.

I'm for as many people getting over as possible, it would improve the show and the more over people there are, the more avenues there are to push new talent, yes, your favourites are more likely to get pushed if there are more over people to feud with.
Re: Eric Bischoff almost put the WWF out of the business
I don't ever get why people actually wanted to see WCW win. Look at everything WCW had done in its history BEFORE it's big boom era with NWO and all that, that'd basically be the type of stuff they'd be going back to, once all the monday night war/attitude era guys were all retired/done with the company.
There was nothing about WCWs history before this time period, that'd put any sort of confidence in the future of wrestling had they won the monday night wars.
WWE today has basically gone back to the way they were before monday night wars, but the thing about that, is that WWE was actually still successful during that time period as well.

I disagree. WCW has always cared more about tradition than WWE with the Four Horsemen, War Games, international tournaments with mexican and japanese superstars, six man tag team champions and many other stuff. If the WCW would really go back to the pre-monday night wars era if they won like WWE does it now I'd rather have the WCW pre wrestlingboom era than the WWE pre wrestlingboom era.

I agree. If WCW maintained the same formula they had from 88-91 (which I feel was pretty good), it would have worked, as the main focus was on the wrestling aspect.
