For me, it was starcade 97.

There are so many things they did wrong in the months following that event. Starrcade should have been the beginning of the end for the nWo angle. Guys like Sting, Bret Hart, DDP and Goldberg should have been the focus for WCW through '98 with the mid carders and cruiserweights getting steady pushes and finally getting their big breaks in '99. I really think that strategy could have kept WCW in competition with WWE.

WCWS biggest problem was the same main eventers over and over again.

When did you know it started going downhill?

Starrcade 97 is the moment for me as well. I knew they would fuck it all up, 15 months of build and they screw it up. Goldberg got huge after that but as we saw, they screwed that up too. 1998 was a good year but it was mostly a rehash of the year before.

when they went off the air in the middle of the main event at halloween havoc 98, the ending was inevitatable after that happened.

Yes I remember this, didn't see it live, but I remember my cousin saying how he got his money back after being on the phone with AT&T for a half hour.

How you end a ppv like that is pathetic.

Na, that just proved how one dimensional Goldberg was.

The first sign to me was the nWo splitting up into nWo Hollywood and nWo Wolfpac. By that point I was just so sick of nWo this and nWo that. In 1997 I would say I watched WCW, WWF, and ECW pretty evenly but by 1998 I had grown a little tired of WCW/nWo.

1999 though, that's when I realized WCW had lost it completely. I wasn't watching as much at that point, because I was so much into WWF as were all my friends. When I turned it on, it wasn't pretty. Ric Flair in the mental ward, Ric Flair vs. Disco Inferno I think was a main event of Thunder one night, David Flair the WCW US Champion, Hulk Hogan back in the red and yellow doing his same ol' bullshit Hulkamania act that was so outdated at that time. The only cool thing I saw was that Randy Savage was the World Champion after Road Wild I think it was, but then he dropped the title that next night on Nitro.

By 2000, I started watching WCW again, because I figured I was either going to watch history and see them turn it around again, or watch them until the bitter end. Sadly, it was the latter.

For me, and I know I will probably be the only one of this opinion because it happened so early in their hot run, but the moment Bischoff came out as a nWo guy I knew the lot was cast and there was something going on backstage that would prevent the company from delivering what it was capable of.

NWO when on for too long Fall Brawl 1998 was the time to end the black and white

So you start an obvious "give me your opinion" thread and then shit on mine because you have a problem with Goldberg. Obvious troll.
