Why didn't Vince ever use the WCW branding for his B-show and PPVs? Was he that asshurt that someone dared to compete with him?

If you mean back during the Attitude era then why would you take a failed company's IPs and use them on your succeeding one and expect it to do anything but harm it? Do you forget what happened when Raw ran a WCW main event on the show? Branding matters and poisoning your own just to pop a few people who are fans of a failed company isn't exactly the most business savvy idea
It took a handful of years before an ECW resurgence was a viable idea. It's not like NXT doesn't use a ton of them now anyway

Buff Bagwell was never a WCW main eventer though. It wasn't a WCW main event, it was a match between two WCW wrestlers put in the main event.

This is the most pedantic bullshit you could possibly be trying to cope with. If WWE puts Ivar and Karrion Kross in a main event match then it's a WWE main event you retard. Just like putting two WCW wrestlers with WCW branding in a main event match is a WCW main event

They tried it with WCW and no one cared. They tried it again with ECW and Rob Van Dam and Sabu fucked it up by getting busted by the cops for dope possession and fucked that shit all up,

Because it wasn't a main event. Of course that match wouldn't do well as a main event. Buff Bagwell was a joke. It doesn't reflect on the potential of WCW to successfully draw post-WWF buyout one iota the way you're dishonestly claiming.

Vince tried to completely remove WCW from history. Which is also why the WHC title was retired for good and pretty much everyone signed after WWE bought WCW was turned into a jobber in humiliation rituals

The big time WCW guys were sitting at home collecting their checks from AOL Time-Warner. Book and Bagwell were unironically the biggest names they had. DDP didn’t show up until a month later. The fuck did you want them to do? Put Shane Helms and Chris Kanyon on in the showcase match?

They simply could've built it up and waited until they had someone better than Buff Bagwell and Shane Helms to put into that spot.
>>18153299
No it wasn't. Just like it's not a main event whenever Tony Khan closes out Collision with a six woman tag match. That doesn't make it a main event level match.

If the match goes on last in any show, ppv or weekly, it's the main event. Even if it's a match between two jobbers or a women main event.
if you don't understand that I don't know what to tell you

And it was treated like a upper midcard title for years. The likes of Jack Swagger and Del Rio held it. If that's not burying it and removing it from history, I don't know what is.

Stinger was never going over after WCW folded because none of the boys at that were ever gonna put his gimmick over. Austin/Rock/Taker/Kurt would never allow him to no sell. He’ll even mid card dudes like Farooq or Bradshaw wouldn’t allow that shit.
That’s why he sat out and collected those checks and went to TNA for an even bigger payday. Gotta protect your character and he made the right choice

He wanted to and Booker vs Bagwell was a test match but wwe and wcw were told over and over that other place sucks nashes hole so when booker and bagwell put on a good wcw style match in wwe they got shat on and vince changed his mind.
It wouldve ended in brand split where raw was renamed to nitro and smackdown became raw or something.
It wouldve worked better If they had steiner for example but alas they didnt.
