@@rickgonzalez8737 Doesn't seem to be on Netflix. Mine skips from like 1/24-2/21. Weird

[@chrishh5777]

@@shiningwizardskevin It's not on Netflix and is no longer on Peacock. If you have a VPN, you could use the regular WWE Network, which actually does still exist despite WWE no longer advertising it.

thanks for creating the NWO. 38 years old and me and my friends growing up at the time there was no Internet or anything like that and you guys really really were our heroes growing up and I really appreciate all of your hard work and everyone else's and I really think you're brilliant for everything you've done and is interesting howthings are working out for the other guy and how much happier and better you look. Thank you so much for all the great memories from WCW. You are a genius and definitely haven't gotten enough credit you deserve.

Bro we got called to the office at school with the community cop because there was concern we we’re part of a gang since we would write NWO all over our binders

[@ivangarcia.21]

When the cop saw everything he looks at the V.P. and says “They like wrestling it’s no big deal” and he threw up Wolfpac to us

FACT CHECK: David Arquette

[@RonJP-pm7jp]

This move with the Radicals leaving I think is similar to Cody leaving AEW. One of the beginnings of the end.

[@surgeplays1421]

Easy fucking E I love the show! I love rewatching all WCW events from 96 through 98

[@AmericanGypsy206]

It was a sad day in wrestling when the WCW died because we got stuck with just the WWE They were mediocre as fuck, wrestling has never been the same since WCW went out of business. It’s been very boring the WWE got way too comfortable having no competition I couldn’t consider TNA competition because they never was on the same level as the WWE even though today we have AEW it’s just not the same, there’s a lot of factors that went into the decline of wrestling such as the Internet most of us got older and we’re aware that wrestling is scripted but back then it was exciting. If you watch wrestling today none of that exist anymore. It’s very lackluster and you can’t even watch it without changing the channel…. Today I no longer watch wrestling, but I still listen to podcasts and sometimes I watched old stuff when it was good, but today’s wrestling is beyond garbage 🗑️

[@drcat1313]

The time I knew WCW was dead was when the NWO Elite formed. I was like this makes literally no sense I can't even pretend it makes sense.

[@JimmyLoupeIII]

I was rooting for AEW at the beginning. Terrible product now..

[@McMahonHater]

What really killed WCW was that dreadful Tag Team known as Coke & Hookers

[@stollar666]

Eric kissing WWE's ass = Now Then Forever

[@Asiate]

Will forever miss the 1995 Bischoff version. Starting out in WCW and driving a big vision forward

[@CurtMoomau]

Benoit was WCW champ

[@Asiate]

Paul today doesn't look like he lived straight edge. A drink here and there wouldn't have hurt him.
