I miss Bischoff. What happened to him anyway? I thought he was making a comeback when his book came out but after the Raw following Cyber Sunday he disappeared.

WCW had some of the best matches ever, I've watch Benoit & Guerrero's WCW match from their DVD's so many times.

Uh...whats wrong with it? SEVEN AND A HALF MINUTES was wasted on Nitro to hype a feud that had absolutely NO payoff in the ring.

I don't remember storyline wise if he did or not. I do remember he rejoined the Nitro announce team sometime in the summer of 1999 and then was legit fired on my birthday that year(Sept. 10th). And then....Enter Russo. And then, Exit Russo. And Bischoff is brought back. And Russo is brought back. They are put together. Bischoff Leaves. Russo dissapears. Russo is fired. Bischoff returns via phone as he's about to buy WCW. Bischoff dosen't buy WCW. I remember the day Russo (or WUSS-o as he calls himself with that Elmer Fudd accent of his) and Bischoff joined forces. It made my stomach turn. Especially because just seconds earlier it seemed as if they were going to be on opposite sides. When Bischoff interrupted WUSS-o's insulting speech ("Are you done yet?") to make his return the crowd went wild. But instead of a confrontation, they hugged and the energy of the crowd (and all viewing fans) went dead in a heartbeat. I remember watching this and thinking "It's over before it even started." Much like the tension created by the NWO/WCW storyline, they should have built the tension between the New Blood and Millionaires Club with each guy taking a side. It also didn't help that every star they were trying to make with the New Blood angle was playing a heel role. Maybe it works now, but in 2000, the crowds were predomnantly marky.

Y'know, I didn't see it live, but I've seen it on replays many times. But ... Hogan's legdrop on Savage during his (Hogan's) heel turn looked a lot better than most of the ones I've seen the Hulkster do.
Just an observation. Agree or disagree ... whatever.

One thing that I just remembered from WCW that was nothing shrt of awesome was when Saturn singlehandedly beat Raven and freed the Flock, then the next night on Nitro he cut an awesome promo about how they were free and how they had talent and could do anything. (well, except Reese).
Best Part: "Kidman! You could be the CW champ if you wanted to!"
30 minutes later: Kidman is the new CW champ.
Awesome.

No, it wasn't, I think that package was from the Best of Nitro show in April 2000. I loved it when Bischoff would not allow WCW to show even the still pictures from the PPV whenever his nWo guys lost a match, and they'd act as if they won, great stuff. Also, the firing of Randy Anderson as a ref was great stuff to get even more over as a heel. Man I hated Bisch back then,lol.

Nope, it was on a regular old edition of Nitro. It was Bish just trying to make himself look good to the fans, but to a bigger extent, the Turner execs who were starting to give him static for sagging ratings.
