I've been watching a lot of WCW from 1990 on the network and I'm consistently annoyed by the crooked WCW logo used at the top of the ramp. It's used at every PPV and Clash of The Champions during this era. Here's what I'm talking about:  Was this done on purpose? Did no one notice? Did they just not give a shit? |

This was done by design to make it seem like the logo is "emerging" from behind the stage, though not necessarily evenly crooked or arched logos are nothing new  |

Before that crooked standalone logo, they used a giant banner that had the WCW logo and the words 'World Championship Wrestling'. Only problem was whoever made it evidentally screwed up and put 'WOW' instead. I guess they realized they made a mistake and "fixed" it, but the part of the O that they took out to make a 'C' was still visible underneath. It looked really awkward.

Better than the Starfleet stage they ended their existence with That thing was atrocious. It's almost fitting that the quality of the product they were putting out took a nose dive almost simultaneously with switching to that set/logo. |

Better than the Starfleet stage they ended their existence with Actually, they retired Starship Anus when Russo and Bischoff came back. This was the Nitro set for most of 2000:  Then they started taping Nitro and Thunder the same night at some point in October and just used the Thunder set (basically the same, except with the big screen sitting on the ramp surrounded by curtains) for the rest of WCW's existence. God, it's so disheartening to see how cheap WCW looked near the end. That said, I'd take this over Starship Anus any day. |

Watching a Nitro from Spring 2000 and then in the final months of the company's existence, you can see a subtle difference in production. It's not pretty. |

Also they used the same set for their ppvs in 2000 as well.
