Was the "golden age" of WCW?

Golden age started with hall coming into wcw, ended just after nash got the book. Not that he did a bad job per say, but there was lots of circumstances against them at the time.

If you think of WCW from 1989 to 2001 as a kingdom, then 89-90 was its golden age with Sting, Flair, Steamboat reigning. 91-93 was an interregnum of Bill Watts garbage. 93-95 was its silver age when it started pulling in silver-aged grandpas from WWF. 96-98 was its resurgence and when it established an empire with Nitro and the MNW. 99-2000 was its decline, and 2001 is the year it crumbled.

>>3095973 So you are saying one year basically.

>>3095953
1992-1998

The NWO got overcrowded so fast it lost all meaning. Half the roster was NWO.

You know that hardcore WCW fans fucking HATED the nWo era, right?

>>3096080
Yeah I can agree with that

It was a pretty rough stretch. I think '92 and '97 were the best years.

When Cornette was booking just like any promotion Cornette booked, they were at their best

97-99 was rad

Golden age of WCW was when Hall cut that sick promo when he invaded and ended after he cut that sick promo when he invaded

When they brought in Eddie, Benoit, Malenko, etc. It was the first time I'd been exposed to flippy shit. It was the perfect way to kick off a show. Then follow that up with some Steiner Bros./Harlem Heat tag action, capped off with some NWO/4 Horsemen shenanigans. The show was firing on all cylinders around the start of/before the NWO storyline all the way up until Goldberg's reign ended.

>>3095993
What year was The Dangerous Alliance? 1992?

>>3097553
Yeah.

>>3095993
This is accurate.

There are some absolutely miserable moments in the epic 96-98 period too though. Like the Sting-Hogan finish at Starcade '97 and Warrior-Hogan at Havoc '98. 14 year old me did mark the fuck out when Warrior first showed up on Nitro, but after 2 promo's it turn shit.

This.

>thinks he's an expert on WCW
>calls 1992 WCW garbage
You're not fooling anyone.

My WC W comfy era was 89 up to when Hogan and his cronies came in.

Got into during Black Scorpion (dammit I liked) you had Sting, Flair, Funk, Muta

91-92 took a hit with losing Flair, but Dangerous Alliance were still pretty based

93-94 Flair returns, Vader, Cactus. loved this era

95 Hogan shows up and WCW loses it's individual charm

>>3095953
No, it wasn't.

>>3098001
I'm not an expert on anything, but other than the Dangerous Alliance and an okay Sting/Cactus Jack feud, it wasn't great. Business was bad at that point, too.

May 96-Dec 97 was my favorite span in WCW. Popularity wise though I'd say May 96 - Spring of 99.

>>3095953

Invasion of Hall and Nash (mid 1996) to Starrcade '97.

92-93 Missy Hyatt was eo hot back then. Certainly a reason to watch WCW programming.
