I feel like next time someone moans about another company taking potshots at WWE, someone should show them this and remind them that WWF’s always been the leader of extremely dumb potshots.

Still better than what WCW handed out at their own shows. Tickets to get in. literally everyone gives away tickets.

Because I know when I consider what wrestling company to watch I put a lot of thought into which company is more profitable and has less alcoholics.
Also got to love just the absolute absurdity of the idea that 1998 WWF was better in the ring than 1998 WCW.

Yeah, that’s the same level of criticism as going “WCW used to sign people on big contracts” because it wasn’t like WWE were the one that gave the first guaranteed pay contract to Johnny B Badd or anything.

"Alcoholics"
Then what pray tell is Austin chugging down three or four times a night? It sure wasn't apple juice.

Who made these? Lol, I’m not one for work rate but insisting 1998 WWF was masterclass at it is hilarious Yeah, but I mean look at the bums WCW was offering up at the time. Ric Flair, Dean Malenko, Eddie Guerrero, Curt Hennig, Chris Benoit, Ultimo Dragon, Chris Jericho... The WWF even managed to pawn off Bret Hart on them, another guy never known for his workrate.

As an accountant, I do appreciate 'Balanced Budget' being a reason to watch a wrestling show. "Balanced Budget" is funny given both that the company was bleeding money in 1997 and that f***ing Bret over was what helped in said budget.

Drug Abuse? Yeah, but that sure wasn't happening in the wwf. "Monday Night Alcoholics" is also hilarious considering literally the top guy in the company's shtick was drinking copious amounts of beer. Not to mention this was just around the time of that Road Warrior Hawk angle.

Nice to see that Vince and co weren’t petty about being beaten in the ratings.

I don't see any Owen Hart logo on there. Guys like Vader, Quebeccers, Jackyl/Kurrgan, Truth Commission, Flash, LOD, Aguilla, NWA (Jarrett, Barry, Midnights, Rock N Roll), Boricaus, Faarooq/D'lo/Kama/Henry, Godwinns, Bradshaw and DOA were reasons I would change the channel to Nitro or really anything else.

As an accountant, I do appreciate 'Balanced Budget' being a reason to watch a wrestling show. Easy for the WWF to balance the books when everyone's signed for a couple or dozen guaranteed dates, and once they're through with those in a couple of months on the house show loop, if they're not over they can be shunted off to Jerry Lawler's fleamarket shows in Memphis to work for starvation wages to 'develop', or simply to make sure they can't head to WCW while they still have any heat.

Haha, WCW has all the alcoholics! What a joke! So anyway, we're totally doing a storyline later in the year about Hawk's real-life battle with addiction. Also, our top babyface is a guy who drinks beer.

See, WWF has The Fink, WCW doesnt, ergo WWF is superior.
