I always get a kick out of seeing Meltz and Vince together.

Actually, I believe it's regarding ring announcer Mel Phillips. WWF was made it their effort to erase him from their records. Patterson likely had absolutely nothing to do with it, and was just roped in there because of his homosexual background. Phillips on the other hand had many instances of sexual abuse. Terry Garvin may have also been involved. From what I can gather, the allegations against Patterson was just because a guy they canned was bitter.

I would definitely say that the expansion into Europe with the company tightening the belt factored into the company surviving. I think Raw payoffs were down to 150 bucks in this period and anybody who worked SMW/USWA weren't getting paid much. I think the biggest factor was that despite revenue being down, they were still making more money on PPV/Merch/Live Events than WCW. WCW really didn't get their act together until they signed Hogan and it took them awhile to really compete with Vince.
