WCW back in 1997 when the nWo was at it’s prime, people inside WCW and even wrestling fans thought that WCW was like the Titanic, it was unsinkable. Well, like the Titanic the kingdom of WCW crumbled from the insides. With the backstage politics, paranoia running more rapid than "Hulkamania" in the early nineties, and the repetitive story lines WCW faltered and eventually collapsed. In August of 1999, there was a shining light on the horizon though. Vince Russo. Surely if this man could turn the WWF around and bring them to record setting numbers surely he could do the same for this second class federation. Well right from the get go Russo’s creative development was cut short and he eventually was demoted and dropped from the top spot of creative writer. During this saga, WCW had a switch in Presidency in the company, (No not the on role crap) but rather Eric Bischoff being let go and Bill Busch put in his place. What would have happened if Bischoff was never let go? Would WCW be any better off? I think so. Eric Bischoff was the only guy that actually came near Vince McMahon in ambition. Bill Busch may be a friendly person, but does he know how to make a successful wrestling product? Obviously not if he’s got Kevin Sullivan in charge. WCW is like an Aries or more known as a Ram. The Aries will continually ramming it’s horns into a brick wall until the wall falls apart or, until they die. WCW continues to put out the same people in the main events, and probably will continue to. It’s pretty obvious that Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Lex Luger, Sid Vicious, Kevin Nash or Scott Hall aren’t as demanded as they once were. Yet WCW continues to put them out there. Get it through your head WCW, people do not want to see Lex Luger Vs. Hulk Hogan, or Flair Vs. Hogan. Or any other match with these guys. If the majority of the viewer’s did, then obviously WCW would be getting major ratings, but they aren’t so that pretty much tells you that people don’t want it. WCW will not surpass WWF in the ratings, ever in my view, or at least not anytime soon but they certainly can do better than 2.5-3.0’s unopposed. WCW should just throw caution to the wind and try something COMPLETELY different. For ONE NIGHT ONLY put on a totally different show. Align Symphony with Vampiro, and have Vampiro/Symphony Vs. Crowbar/Daffney in a mixed tag team match. Kidman Vs. Kanyon. DDP Vs. Jeff Jarrett. TAFKA Prince Iaukea Vs. Kid Romeo. Bret Hart Vs. Tank Abbott. Norman Smiley Vs. Bam Bam Bigelow. Three Count (Shane Helms/Shannon Moore) Vs. Booker T/Felix Skipper. Madusa Vs. Mona Vs. Sherri Martel in a COMPETITIVE match. Evan Karagias Vs. Psychosis. There’s more than plenty. I guarantee those matches would raise the ratings. Just for the record if you like those matches send me some feedback, if not, give me matches that you think WCW should run (Obviously the workers have to be on the WCW roster.) I’ll post some reply’s next week. These matches couldn’t get any worse. They are already getting slaughtered, why not try something different?

WWF Wrestlemania is coming soon. April 2 to be exact. Not much I can say as of now, but I read some information that the show will be $49.95 with a pre-show starting at noon and running till 11pm when the usual pay-per-view ends. All I have to comment on that is, is WWF nuts?! Fifty bucks?! That’s nearly the same amount for boxing events, and at least with a wrestling show you get to see some entertainment, unlike ordering a boxing event sitting through the crap under-card and then watching a 20 minute intro of Mike Tyson followed by a ten second fight. That’s entertainment? Damn.

Time to wrap this one up. Time for the failed gimmick of the week, which is.... Vince McMahon. HUH?! Allow me to elaborate. Elabor- OH! Explain, okay well Vince hasn’t been on television. No problem there. But rather it’s the way he brought back Kane. Vince is smart and often fools the fans by continuing the main angle, which in this case is the McMahon-Helmsly era. But then he takes a swerve in this case, Kane and inserts him in like nothing. Which in the end is prolonging the McMahon-Helmsly era. But with this new swerve added, this will keep the fans happy for another two weeks or so. Thing is most fans will just go along with this and be happy. Meanwhile a few weeks back everyone was whining that this era angle has run it’s time. Guess again.

That’s all for tonight. Told yeah it would be short, but not lacking in content.
