-"Blood Runs Cold" promos lasting almost an entire year to see..."is that Sub-Zero from Mortal Kombat?"
-On the same subject, Glacier in the ring doing tai-chi or whatever he was supposed to be doing while "snow" fell in a laser-light show; I know it always lasted longer than the match.
-Screwjob finishes EVERY. SINGLE. WEEK!. Got so bad in 1996-97, you would see the Main Event start up, then just automatically ignore the action in the ring and look towards the ramp because you knew SOMEBODY was going to run-in and screw it all up. (As opposed to old NWA/WCW TV matches, where they would barely start the Main Event before Schiavone starts screaming "We're outta time! See you next week!")
-WCW reliving the AWA: Alzheimer's Wrestling Association. A lot of these older guys weren't just old, they were delusional into thinking they still drew fans.

-Mark Madden. Someone asked what he's doing nowadays...he's in Pittsburgh somewhere, being fat.

Having a guy like Jushin Liger come over only to lose the IWGP title to Juventud via Tequila bottle to the head.
Also, bringing Muta over to hang out with Vampiro and ICP.

-Very random PPV undercard matches between guys we don't care about (and rarely see on TV) going 10-15 minutes. (Did they actually book this crap or do they throw darts at the wall?)

Larry Zbyszko's commentating. I found him really annoying, into himself, and the whole "New World Odor" was NEVER funny to me.
Trash being thrown in the ring. Way to make wrestling fans look even more lowbrow and classless.
JJ in the main event. Why?
The bad entrance themes. With all the money they were spending you'd think they would put a little more effort into the music.

Chad Brock ( a country singer) performed around the time of the West Texas Rednecks. How did these concerts actually do, ratings-wise? There was a flurry of them all of a sudden back in 99, and none of them interested me at all. Horrible idea and a very tellling sign that WCW was getting desperate.
It's been mentioned before, but Konnan's super push starting with the Wolfpac and continuing with the Filthy Animals was the WORST. He used to be an extremely good worker when he was wearing his goofy tassled attire circa early 96, but then he just started getting fat and lazy. His promos where he'd say "bowdy-bowdy" and all that crap pissed me off like nothing else, because they'd be the same. words. every. time. For MONTHS ON END.
I don't miss Bischoff kissing Hogan's ass (pre or post heel turn).
I don't miss Goldberg beating legends like Curt Hennig in 30 seconds flat, and am at least thankful the same fate didn't happen to Bret, no matter how bad his WCW run ended up being.

Marty Jannetty had nothing to offer in the ring? Rick Rude was washed up, even though he was gold on the stick?
Wow, man...I guess we'll agree to disagree.

Who are you to doubt Super Calo!? What's that? Wrong WCW cruiserweight? Carry on then.

Marty Jannetty had nothing to offer in the ring? Rick Rude was washed up, even though he was gold on the stick? Wow, man...I guess we'll agree to disagree. I knew I would take some heat for these comments. Someone bashed me for including Dibiase too. Here's my defense: Jannetty was nothing but a jobber in WCW, so why would anyone care about him? Heck, he could have been included in the nWo and done worked shoot promos on HBK. Not that I wanted to see that, but it would have been more relevant than anything else he did in WCW. Rick Rude - gold on the stick. Yes, I agree. My problem is, though, that WCW mainly signed him just because he was part of DX and they had the opportunity to have him on both RAW and Nitro in the same night. Other than that, he didn't do much other than follow Curt Hennig around. The signing seemed more about subtracting talent from WWF than it was about adding talent to WCW. Did Degeneration-X lose a step after losing Rick Rude? Nope. In fact, they got stronger. What does that tell you about Rude's value? Ted Dibiase - Still could cut a decent promo, but he never seemed to fit in nWo, in my opinion. Then he managed the Steiner Brothers, which I thought was a little better for him, but it wasn't anything memorable. He couldn't wrestle anymore, so why sign him? WCW spent too much time pushing non-wrestlers. Of all the names I mentioned, I thought I would get more heat for including Davey Boy Smith. He could still wrestle at least. He had a hard time getting over in WCW though, and his run was cut short due to that unfortunate injury.

Having a 2nd rate company featuring an idiot running the show, wrestlers past their prime that outshine and ultimately bury the younger talent that they should be putting over, and egotistical writers whose talents stop at nonsensical turns and shock value. Glad to see we don't have that kind of company around anymore...right?

Swerves...dear god all the swerves.... This is where you reveal you actually loved them and were fooling us all along. You got me..not only do I love the swerves...but I was actually the father of the swerves! Oh and Hummers...black or white I do not miss those magical driverless murdering machines always trying to kill someone...they were so rude.

What i really didn't like, was that rules of a match didn't mean anything. I'm watching Uncensored 1995 right now: They say that all matches are No DQ and then Randy Savage wins his match against Avalanche by Disqualification In the Main Event Hogan wins by draging Ric Flair to all 4 corners in the strap match, but Vader was his opponent.
Same with Uncensored 2000: Hogans win in the Yapapi Strap match by pinning Ric Flair, then remembers it was a Strap match and dragging Flair to all 4 corners, but he already won.
Oh and the King of the Road match from Uncensored 1995 must be the stupidest idea of all time, leading to one of the worst "wrestling matches" of all time

Bait and switch main events.
Stretching the truth to it's breaking point to try to get over the WCW title lineage (remember how for a few weeks they would bring up Abe Lincoln being a pro-wrestler and trying to connect their lineage to him?)
