End days of WCW

[Byakugan]

Did anyone else really enjoy the final days of WCW?

Scott Steiner and the Magnificent 7 were great IMO. I was just getting into pro wrestling (watching every week) and I loved WCW much more then WWE at the end. The cruisers were also pretty fun.

i absolutely agree

while most of the big stars were gone.... i still enjoyed the work of sugar shane helms and the crusierweight tag title tournament was really cool.....too bad that division didnt last long

primetime, booker t, kidman, the jung dragons, vampiro, and rey mysterio were all fun to watch.

WCW was starting to get better in 2001, which isn't much to say after the disasters that were WCW 1999 and WCW 2000. It was too little too late though, and the WWF was still on a monster roll in 2001 (until, of course, the disasterous repercussions of the Invasion angle). I still wonder what would have happened to WCW had Fusient Media closed the deal, or even if McMahon handled his newfound assets better and went through with his plan to run WCW shows and PPVs.

It really was a lot better, both in storyline and match quality, than the previous years. One thing that bothered me is that the Magnificent 7, opposition was, like, Earnest Miller, Kronik and Hugh Morris. Kind of one-sided.

I liked Totally Buff, Palumbo and O'Haire, and Lance Storm. I miss those days, Ric Flair(even if was just in kayfabe)giving his speech "We bled, we sweat, we paid the price to be the best" moved me.

The botched collaboration with that Rollerball-esque show aside, I still enjoyed the last year of WCW.

And watching Sugar Shane Helms still using the Vertebreaker back then was a thing of awesomeness.

According to Bischoff, if Fusient Media bought WCW, they were going to close up for at least 6 months and then start taping in a studio set up in the parking garage of the Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas. They would do Nitro and another 1 hour show with no PPVs for another 6 months.




"Sugar" Shane Helms, Sean O'Haire, Reno, "Above Average" Mike Sanders and Lance Storm were the only things remaining worth a damn to me.

Looking back on it , compared to what we have now with Raw, I really miss wcw even more now. It wasnt that bad at the end but it was just too late!

I loved WCW right till the end. I dug the Magnificent Seven, except for the fact Animal of all people ended up being the surprise. Though considering how WCW had been in the last few years, they got lucky even getting him.

Sugar Shane was awesome, and his dancers were money.

The WCW guys really busted their butts in 2001. It was like everyone wanted to prove themselves to Bischoff so they wouldn't be fired.
