"WCW's answer to Wrestlemania" despite there having been two Starrcades before the first WM

[@user-uz2jo5hw1b]

I'm ain't that drunk..... wasn't it 2000 ?

[@DaveHogg]

Charlotte (age 7) was at Starrcade '93 to support her dad in ... *checks notes* ... a retirement match. Technically, that makes her part of a very small number of wrestlers to be "in" a main event at a WCW Starrcade and a Wrestlemania. Very technically.

[@lesterwink23]

Watching every WCW PPV from 2000 is either a tremendous act of bravery or a desperate cry for help

[@vampirascoffin870]

Like HHH reign of terror Cena era

[@optimus2008]

@vampirascoffin870 Not really the Cena Era. He took many L's which ppl really gloss over. And in retrospective, quite a lot of the Reign of Terror was actually a blessing in disguise. Plus, if the RoT was not under an effective heel, the wins of HBK at Survivor Series, *redacted* at Mania 20 and Batista at Mania 21 would've been flat.

[@namikstudios]

WCW was actually improving in late 2000 and into 2001. It was from around the middle of the year in 99 until around the middle of 2000 when WCW was a bit of a mess. Things seemed to get a lot better around the time Scott Steiner became world champ, he had a really good run at the end of WCW.

[@jeffreypridemore100]

WCW 2000 PPVs rank anywhere from “Not good” to “Holy shit, why did I waste my time and money with this?”

[@actionsam7878]

WCW in 2000 did give us one thing that, to me at least, is incredibly underrated: the Triple Cage. I genuinely think either WWE or AEW need to bring it back one day, with the right talent and booking it could be great. Give me more ridiculously big cage matches in wrestling.

[@KamenRiderGumo]

With the right wrestlers involved it could be amazing. I think it should be AEW that does it, since very few in the WWE could make it work. Maybe do the Blackpool Combat Club vs Christian, Nick Wayne and Luchasaurus.

[@robw5741]

The og triple cage was in 88 tho, granted the rules were a bit different.

[@tonythomas2391]

I was at Fall Brawl, it was a lot better than I expected. The spot that caused Orndorff's career ending injury didn't seem that bad, but maybe it was a cumulative effect due to many years of taking bumps.

[@Scaramanga7]

He already had plenty of problems from his 80s run.

As someone currently doing a WCW 2000 watch, I am shocked you found anything good in those 12 months. You could do a "Worst Nitro 2000" show and never run out.

The most remarkable thing ia that any show of 2000 from WCW is better than actual WWE

[@optimus2008]

​@@pablo77bar60That's a hot take. Nothing in WWE has been that awful. Mediocre and boring many a times, but NOWHERE as company-killing.

[@carribob1992]

After the WWE PPVs ranked from worst to best was done and dusted. This would be the logical step forward and I am totes up for that. The thing about WCW in 2000 is that after hearing from almost everyone that it was bad. You let your curiosity get the better of you and watch a few shows on the network to see how bad it was. Personally, the best PPV from the last 15 months of WCW was Greed (An ironic name tbh).

You were a lot kinder on NBR than I was when I covered it on a podcast a few years ago.

I honestly believe that if not for Russo, WCW would still be around. They had some amazing talent that they so terribly misused.

[@BoogalooBartholomew]

The guys who ran the network hated pro wrestling and that had more to do with WCW's demise than anything. They wanted it gone when it was "good". They wanted it gone when it was profitable. Ted Turner not having he shares was the end of WCW. That being said, WCW did produce some stupid stuff in the last years.

@@shubhanshi9042 The point is more that at least in 1995 you had two big companies who could give fans a viable option/alternative. WCW's absolute bollocksery they put out in 2000 essentially sealed their fate and gave us nearly 2 decades of WWE as the only major (in terms of US/global markets, that is) wrestling company. Not shitting on smaller companies or TNA, RoH, NJPW, etc but in terms of global marketing/appeal, none came close to what WCW had as competition to the WWE. (But aye, 1995 was shite all round...)

I’ve said this before about Vince Russo and I’ll say it again-Even though Vince bombed out at WCW I understand why he did some of the thing he did back then. WCW had old talent and needed younger stars so I get why he pushed Booker T and the other young guys.Also fans at that time wanted stuff that blurred the lines of Kayfabe and reality so I get why he did some of his wild confusing storylines

[@MichaelTaylor-qp2xf]

I'm pretty sure the only reason Kevin Nash just didn't go out and lay down in the ring every week in 2000 WCW was because of the obscene amount of money that WCW was vomiting all over him and the fear they might vomit less when it would come time for a new contract, which never came to be because the company ended before his initial 5-year deal signed in 1996 was up.
