somehow Redditors calling it the most tragic event in the history of professional wrestling can't put these two and two together.
Of course, they continue the willful bewilderment with the spectacular decline of AEW (which they currently deny is even taking place)

If you want to understand what it was like and how WCW died, just observe how AEW and its community goes on.

Killing off the hottest baby face in the company? WM17. WCW 1998 was saved by Goldberg. WWF 2001 didn’t have a Goldberg up there sleeve, and didn’t have the competition to force them to be creative.

Eh, they could afford that. In 2001 Rock was not expected to leave forever, Booker, Jericho, Angle and RVD were there to help building the card. nWo and Lesnar were in the oven for 2002. In retrospective, Austin was awful in 2001, but all things considered it's not a big deal.

Why do people for some reason start this headcanon at the WM17 turn when it was fine until they turned Austin again to join the alliance? Sure, it was a mistake to do it in Texas if they wanted him booed but face Austin would've gotten stale. They did it a bit too early but not changing is what led to business falling in the early 90s

They piped in his chants and you can hear them loop awkwardly at time or even the audio skip, like the time he got booed facing Hall and Nash when they did a show in the Northeast. Goldberg never sold out venues, if he's the biggest ratings draw ever, why couldn't he?

It's not quite the same, as Rock and Austin at least had an amazing match. But it certainly's the most damaging finish in company history. MC Hammer re-inventing himself as an OG was a less ill-advised career decision.
