Exactly. The beginning of the end for WCW was likely around late 98. While they were actually in an unprecedented position of strength at that time, they took their eye off the ball and became complacent, horribly mismanaging talent. And one of the biggest mistakes they made was failing to invest in young talent and elevate them to main event level. If WCW was smart they would've started elevating the likes of Booker, Steiner, Bret, Jericho, Big Show, Benoit and Eddie towards main event level in 98/99 in preparation for the millennium and the new era of the company, so that by 2000 their main event scene is new, exciting and completely refreshed. And maybe they could've added one or two prime age WWF guys or free agents as well like Shamrock, Test, Kane, Batista, Angle or Lesnar. Add that talent to Goldberg and Seán O'Haire and you've got a hell of a main event scene imo. But instead they misused Bret, failed to elevate anyone letting all their promising midcard talent leave, and let their main event scene age to the point where just 2 years later it was a complete shambles. By 2000 the WCW main event scene was a joke, full of has-beens who had nothing left in the tank. Hogan, Nash, Sting, Luger, Flair, Savage, Sid and DDP were all basically retired by 2002. Jarrett was a joke and Steiner was great but broken down. The only prime age main event talent they had was Booker T and Goldberg. Add that to the CW division and midcard going to pot, and it's no surprise WCW went under. It was a meteoric rise but man what a precipitous fall that was in 99 and 00.

I can understand Booker's perspective when it comes to Bischoff. Bischoff's relationship with and catering to Hogan and his guys prevented guys like Booker from advancing up the card.

Booker t puts the blame on Eric and Hulk Hogan, but you will never hear him criticize Triple H or Vince McMahon and this only shows whether he is actually a logical and honest person or not But the Eric, Hulk and even Vince Russo haters won't admit it. When Mr. Booker says that Hulk Hogan only thinks about himself, but he and his brother admitted that Hogan was the one who asked WCW management to push the Harlem Heat team. I don't understand how he can only think about himself and at the same time help your team, Booker T?? Eric Bischoff was suffering from people above him who were interfering in his decisions, so Eric is not the final boss as is the case with Vince McMahon, but Booker T and Eric's haters do not understand that and only like to lie to themselves. WCW would have closed its doors from day one before Eric, Hulk, or Russo arrived. They had nothing to do with the death of the company. This company was opened only to be closed . booker T is a WWE A kisser an You admit that your salary was 15 thousand dollars a year, and when Hogan came and WCW rose because of him, your salary became 100 thousand dollars, and yet you criticize him? Say thank you to Hogan instead of spreading lies about him. He helped your team, you and your brother, and because of him your salary increased. Say thank you, Booker, and don't talk about behind the scenes and WCW business and things you don't know Because you weren't in the room with Eric, Hulk, and others. Even though Triple H buried you at WrestleMania 19, you still defended him and that match. I know very well that you are not satisfied with that match, but you lie when you defend Triple H, just as you lie when you accuse Hulk Hogan and Eric. . You'Hunter and Vince's ass kisser .

At the end of the day. The world champion should be the guy who can make a big company even bigger. But in that I never had a problem with Booker T as world champion because wcw at that time hit the ceiling because of the past, not intrograding the younger guys into the already established guys so the already established guys can put them over. But Russo was pressured into quick results... For one episode, he succeeded in beating raw. I find it funny how guys like Eric and Vince don't get along, but they have a lot of the same ideas . And people marking for high flying moves. Eric was the first to push that into mainstream wrestling pertaining to the most successful of the bunch. But wcw still had an eclectic collection of different styles. I mean I get why people didn't like Russo's ways because they used wcw as an alternative to wwf. But we have to be reminded Russo was the head writer. Doing what he does. Trying to get must see tv. And he by the way had to answer to many people. So he was never in charge. But saying that... What gets me is the people who say they miss the good old days of TNA and in the same breath critisize Vince Russo. The dude was the head writer for most of those days. He was the head writer when they went into millions. I know the response to that is "but you said he was just the head writer" yes true. And he had to answer to Dixie. But the creative had more power in TNA because Dixie didn't know much about wrestling till she sadly was taking advice from reading from or listening to guys like Dave Meltzer who ended up crapping on TNA left and right because he wasn't getting his ass kissed enough. And now look at wrestling. You can tell who listens to Dave Meltzer because they are so insignificant. The dirt sheets has too much hands into wrestling and wrestling suffers from that. Wwe's success goes into the past and all the business deals that they have. Aew's "success" is because the owner has a very rich and successful dad. But who is watching aew? Barely anyone. But Shad is a damn good business man so he must know people in Time Warner because for being on a major cable channel aew is doinf garbage numbers. And with the way Tony spends money.. They cannot be coming close to being succesful. But Shad did say no matter what Tony does with his money. He accepts it. Which is a terrible way to do things. I mean Tony paid to make an aew video game. Which is freaking awful.

I am convinced everybody hates everybody in that company. Usually workplaces have their fiefdoms, politics even in the best of workplaces. But WCW takes the backstabbing to a whole new level. And I hate to break this to you Disco, but your job as a booker would be undercut with one "that don't work for me, brother."

This clip of Konan AGAIN let’s us know just miserable how Kevin Nash is and I used to be a fan. He goes on the air and pretends like there wasn’t anything wrong and admits to doing so as long as his paychecks came in. I used to have a friend in HS like Nash, real two faced. He would be a friend one day and a snake the next. People like this just want the world to be a miserable as they are

Booker usually puts over hogan as the guy who made him win the tag titles. In numerous interviews Booker said he was in a room with them and hogan said to bischoff “these are your champs. Put the rocket on them”. I think the angle Bischoff said that night was hogan getting screwed and coming back Halloween havoc. He wasn’t walking out with the belt that night. The way Russo did it obviously wasn’t agreed upon because it didn’t set hogans character up witty any future plans

Booker never was that main event guy. If anything he sounds selfish and angry. It’s ok for the other guys to fall by the waist side but not him. Booker even let it slip that he was notified a few days before bash at the beach he would be made champion. Wasn’t there a lawsuit about this. Guy has a real entitled set of balls on him.

He should not have been pushed to the top. Great upper mid guy, just like Benoit. But not world champ material. He just did not have character. Hogan and Bischoff were correct in sabotaging his push. "What would Hogan gain"? He's still the biggest draw in wcw at the time, my guy, along with Goldberg. It's about what wcw gains. What was the potential of Booker as a draw? I'll wait.

"Oh, it happened over 20 years ago, he made his money. He should get over it." Nah... He shouldn't. He can hold that grudge if he wants. How it affects his long term mental health is up to him. However, he experienced situations we have not been in. ✌🏿

Booker T was one of the few parts of late WCW that I would get excited about, but honestly I think winning the belt in the way he did was not good for his career. He wasn’t booked all that strong afterwards and WCW booked a lot of bad gimmick matches with him. I think there’s a much better argument that losing to Triple H is a better “what if” kind of moment, because if he won that match I think his career would’ve taken a way different turn.
@juanel5892 ай бұрын
Booker just wasn't over at that time... if he was it wouldn't matter.... guys like scott hall, jake the snake , piper, curt henning ect ect never held the belt but It didn't matter because they were over. Nobody cares or remembers... If you need the belt to be over, then you're probably not over.
