1999 WCW was fine and could have survived and thrived. A year or so ago I was rewatching Nitro's on twitch and when Russo signs on in 1999 there is an IMMEDIATE drop in quality in both the shows quality and content.

Russo was based as hell. He pushed the Natural Born Thrillers who were all dimes. He made Hogan sit at home, Gave Hugh Morris a solid run that resulted in him having a job training dudes for years. Recognised Booker T as a top guy.

1998 was starting to look rough by about summer as well. Goldberg made some things look better but that NWO explodes feud was death. Lex Lugar and Sting wearing Wolfpac shit and dancing around like street thugs was cringe.

And that's why you gotta conclude his AE stuff was a fluke of the right talent and lucky timing. Same with Bischoff. True skill and talent and repeat their successes at least twice or more.

Russo booking himself to be angry and disgusted that he booked himself to win the world championship will always be hilarious to me.

You mean pushed Booker as a desperation measure to try and prove he and WCW wasn't racist.

They later lost the racial discrimination lawsuit filed against them.

At least Russo in WWF wasn't a TV character. McMahon had enough sense not to put him onscreen. It's when he comes out and starts cutting shoot promos on air that things go to shit.

the FPOD was obviously a bullshit thing to do but did the ratings really didn't fall that much?
