Damn we were spoiled rotten back then. Because of the ratings war, almost every week you got PPV caliber match-ups and shows on regular cable. Eric was a genius from 95- early 99. Although I loved WWF too, it always pissed me off when they started winning the ratings war because they forced the business to go right back to the stupid "We're going to face off...at the pay per view. So everyone should totally wait 4 weeks to finally see it" format. Obviously the death of WCW was the end of cutting edge entertainment. Vince took wrestling right back to the homo-erotic cowboys and eye-roll inducing storylines.

I don't think you were actually around to see Nitro back then. Most of the main event matches ended in NWO run-in cluster fuck DQs.

But at the same time, everyone on the card had something to do and the mid card was fucking stacked. The cruiserweights were perfect, the women were mostly all hot, there were still hardcore matches, and even though the main event usually ended in interference, it didn't end up being 50/50 booking garbage and everyone still looked pretty strong. WCW at its best was the best wrestling of all time and it forced Vince to give a shit

WCW 1995-1999 was the pinnacle of wrestling. I started watching WWE a couple of years ago but I mainly only give a fuck about Sting, Goldberg, Stone Cold, the Rock. All the new guys are shitters

>he mid card was fucking stacked.
The only reason you can say that now is because Vince eventually promoted them to main event status, which is what WCW refused to do and that's why they quit en masse.
If it wasn't for Vince, they'd be nobodies, buried forever in the name of Hogan, Nash and Goldberg.

WCW women were top tier, what the fuck is with Vince's manjaw fetish?

wcw's advertising revenue was way more than they ever could have made from ppv, hence the big matches on nitr

Nobody remembers any WCW matches because they weren't on PPV. Even when WWE was losing the ratings war they still had classic matches on PPV now and then e.g. Bret/HBK. What classic matches did WCW build on PPV?

Sting/Hogan
Jericho/Malenko
Hogan/Flair
DDP/Savage
