back then, smark's favorite shitters knew their place and were taught how to draw dimes as manlets, anon. now faggots learn to flip before learning how to work a match people will care about.

kenny's fucked for life and has nothing else to offer but an omg bump that might kill him, ffs.

You never watched WCW. WCW started everything wrong with wrestling today.

Before Bischoff and Russo; WCW used to market themselves much like AEW does now; as the real wrestling alternative to WWF's cartoon entertainment.

It'll always be ironic that WCW switching to sports entertainment is what made them reach their highest heights but was also what ended up killing them.

Well yeah it was JCP. WWE tanked TBS ratings when Black Saturday happened. Jim Herd tried doing cartoonish WWE shit and it drove all the territory guys away.

The nWo may have been “sports entertainment” but it was conpletely different than the kind WWE was doing at the time, which was campy as fuck.

Peak WCW wasn't sports entertainment. It still had a very clear sports presentation - cruiserweights, heavyweights, title matters, etc and the stories were centered around the wrestlers being the best, not who fucked who's mom.

Do you object to their presence because they are "unknown" (like literally every wrestler ever before becoming established) or because of weird political race bullshit?

They literally did what Tony Khan does now. They had "working relationship" with multiple foreign feds, they import a guy for a one off match and then never mention him on their television before or after ever again.

I think the key difference is that the outside wrestlers WCW brought in were good, where as the outside wrestlers AEW brings in are bad.

Absolutely fucking not. WCW and WWF were both mainstream. It isn't WCW's fault that dumbass smarks learned all the wrong lessons from the cruiserweight division.

Many of the foreign wrestlers in WCW became well regarded. All of the foreign wrestlers in AEW are universally mocked and shat on by all but the most devoted cultists. The one exception might be Okada. It's not rocket science to tell there's a clear difference.

WCW didn’t switch to sports entertainment until Russo joined the staff and that’s when business was going downhill

They have brought in a few of the same boomers, lo and behold those matches weren't shit on because even decades past their prime those guys are still good and they were wrestling other properly trained veterans like Punk and Bryan. Now look at the young guys like Komander and Vikingo. Look at Regal and Finlay in the 90s and then look at Will Ospreay and Zack Sabre Jr.
