Was WCW Really That Bad Near The End?

WWE's Chris Jericho talks about just how bad it was at WCW near the end of the Turner-owned era.

[@sumbitch3rdgen]

whenever I see a FedEx car driving on the street I just think to myself that it's delivering an empty box to Chris Jericho

[@TacomaStreetcarDisaster]

And when he opens it to discover it's empty, he shakes his fist at the sky and screams, "BIIIISCHOOOOOOFFFFFFF!"

[@comradecarabao9122]

[@MrDaruis]

That fed ex package contained Chris Jericho's push. LOL

[@piro4351]

LMAO!!!

[@FerretJohn]

***** The WWF Lt Heavyweight division, led by Taka Michinoku, was a mid-card joke, it was never given the respect WCW gave their Cruiserweight division. Russo himself never booked a single match, he was writer writing overall stories, indeed many people have said Russo's view was that pro wrestling shows would be successful if they removed as much of the wrestling matches as possible, and he had Vince McMahon over his shoulder looking through Russo's work going "Okay, we'll throw out these 20 ideas and run this one. In WCW Russo didn't have McMahon or anyone else filtering out the bad ideas. Now I won't blame Russo for WCWs fall, that was plain to see well before he got there, but he did relegate the cruiserweights to mid-card jobbers, stripped all the luchadores of their masks, and had them compete in a Pinata on a Pole match.

[@juicer67]

Chris got out of WCW at just the right time. Smart man.

[@SandmanFightingSys]

juicer67 he was possibly one of very FEW WWE helped put over after the acquisition of WCW. For the most part WWE made a laughing stock out of WCW transfers instead of helping them grow their careers. Prime example, Goldberg. Involved in possibly the most boring storylines ever concocted and booked in some of the dumbest and shittiest matches ever to be televised in the history of wrestling.

I doubt that, Chris. I'll bet Bischoff, Hall, & Nash each took turns planting air-biscuts into that package before they sent it, giggling all the way to the FedEX office in Atlanta.

[@madmanszalinski]

Pretty sure Hulk Hogan ate all the opportunity before it got mailed out.

[@InvisibleHotdog]

Actually, Jericho was well known even when he was working in Canada, Mexico and Japan, he was well known. So, no, WCW didn't make him. Jericho made himself. He went to ECW and still wrestled in the other promotions, that's how WCW found him! He was used well because he was amazingly talented, both with the stick, in the ring and entirely as a worker!

[@SRPC21]

Poor management but near the *very* end it was actually a great product (shortly before Russo was fired). It was too little too late though :(

Love Jericho.. I remember his gimmicks in WCW were just hilarious with the 'man of 1004 holds' or his greenberg angle.. then he went to WWE and was finally taken seriously.. he was never "the man" on Raw like The Rock, Stone Cold, HBK. or even HHH but he was a great character who always delivered awesome matches... great technical wrestler.

[@chadanderson5736]

In my opinion the last two years of WCW was very bad 1999-2001 and it all started when Bill Goldberg lost his winning his streak to Kevin Nash at the end of 1998, and it really pissed me of when Kevin Nash lost the WCW World Heavywight title on purpose to Hulk Hogan and a very new Wolf-pack was formed NWO black and white members started to combine with the wolfpack and they all started to gang up and attack Bill Goldberg after he got arrested and came back to the arena from the police station. The best WCW moments were when Kevin Nash was the leader of the NWO wolfpack and on his team were Sting, Lex Luger, Randy Savage and Konan competing aganst Hulk hogan NWO black and white with Scott Hall and watching Bill Goldberg wrestle when he was on a very big winning streak and of course watching the Nitro Girls dance I miss those WCW days.

[@shindean]

I specifically remember cutting WCW out of my life when a buddy of mine told me who finally beat Goldberg's streak. Was it over a spectacular finish with a great performer? Was it "Wrestlemania moment" comparable? Was it a grueling battle to the point of exhaustion where the ending was acceptable like Bret and HBK Ironman? Nope, cattle prod. Goldberg, who is already a performer, had to double fake getting hurt by a fake cattle prod, and then lay down like jobber. This was the last shit that WCW was ever going to throw at me.

[@BizzyIzzy87]

It all started when Goldberg arrived in general. Worst character in pro wrestling.

[@BizzyIzzy87]

shindean Goldberg is what ruined WCW. A non charismatic 1 min wrestler who was more super human than Cena.

[@shindean]

BizzyIzzy87 Nope, because Goldberg could still wrestle. I understand charisma goes a long way in the industry, but the only time I've forced myself to watch a Cena match without going to sleep is when I went to Wrestlemania here in Miami and watched him lose. RVD had more time to show off his charisma in ECW, but he was such a fan favorite through his wrestling that he was eventually the world champ in WWE. WCW ruined everyone, the smart ones jumped ship and got their titles shots fairly soon.

[@MrDeadsr]

BizzyIzzy87 Nah it wasnt him. it was the WCW not developing him properly. They saw him as an easy way to pull crowds and after he started having succes they never bothered to give him depth or let him fight longer matches. WCW was happy with him doing his 2min matches.

[@AnEternalEnigma]

I also remember the story of Jericho's girlfriend at the time buying a $20 Jericho/Malenko two-pack of action figures. She got the receipt and it rang up as a Hogan/Sting two-pack, so they ended up getting the royalties for it. I also remember the story where Jericho said he got a royalties check from WCW for $0.15.

[@SavageTilley]

I miss my WCW

[@useful76]

WCW was a lot like an aging professional sports team. They signed all these big free agents and it carried them for a few seasons. However, once they all got paid and were way past their prime, it all went down hill fast. They never had a rebuilding year so they just folded.

[@thomasedward2046]

Not knowing what segment your in before the show starts? Sounds like WWE today.

[@FerretJohn]

+2 Flash Not at all, WWE management is a well-oiled machine. You may not like what comes out but they do know what they're doing

[@thomasedward2046]

FerretJohn They're always writing shows day of, changing match results at the eleventh hour, overscripting, and micromanaging everything to death. I would never want to work in an environment like that. Plus, you hear multiple guys talking about how everything gets changed so often the day they're setting up the shows.

[@FerretJohn]

+2 Flash Well it is somewhat organic in production, yes, all shows with live audiences are. If the audience isn't feeling the story or the wrestler gets hurt or can't make the show then the writers have to adapt. But WWE is nowhere near as chaotic as WCW was

[@thomasedward2046]

FerretJohn There is like 20 some writers who have never wrote wrestling in their lives. They need wrestling people writing the shows. That's why you got the product you got now. There are various other reasons for that, but would you rather have a Vince Russo (yep, I said it), Jim Cornette, or Paul Heyman (writing SmackDown back then) writing or these guys who have TV, basketball,reality writing, or guys who have never been in a real fight in their life (direct quote from CM Punk)?

I remember when Giant (big show) helped him. I swear he had an aggravated look on his face as he was running to the ring. He literally rolled his eyes.

[@Richie46071]

I'll give you me reasons. 1. Hogan, Hall, Savage, Nash all went to WCW for money and egos and to put WWF/E out of business. 2. Eric Bischoff, his inability to create new stars and relying on Flair and Hogan too long. Benoit, Jericho, Guerrero, Rey, Big Show, those were the guys that should have gotten the push they should have deserved. 3. Ted Turner, the Time Warner/AOL merger forced him out of WCW. 4. Bad booking decisions. Russo...Arquette WCW champion? WTF.

[@skinnypippen9580]

[@peterp21]

He mentions in one of his other videos another humorous story on WCW's dysfunctionality regarding receiving a royalty check (no doubt shipped for $50 via FedEx) for $0.00.

[@ninjajesus81]

What probably happened with the FedEx thing is the box probably came open, the contents came out and were separated from the box, and then the box sealed up and shipped without the contents.

[@MossB87]

I just watched that match. It was as random as Jericho described. Even Schiavone, Heenan and Zbyszko were completely confused as to why Show was out there.

[@CRCamp86]

The FedEx package was a symbolic gesture of his future in WCW...

[@enuvune]

[@joshcannon23]

people don't really understand what happened to WCW. Ted Turner is a billionaire. WCW went under when Turner combined with AOL. AOL were not fans if pro wrestling. So Turner had to make a business decision. It wasn't because they didn't have monry, AOL is the reason why WCW was sold to Vince. I liked both when I was younger. But that is what happened to WCW. Turner had plenty cash to keep them going. but he had to risk missing out on billions more on a deal with AOL.

[@jtomally9681]

Truly, Jericho had received a paycheck (still working for WCW under Eric Bischoff) that was $0.00. That was when Jericho was getting deeper into his prime and Eric Bischoff played him like a dog. So Jericho went to WWF/WWE.

[@chadanderson5736]

WCW started to get bad right after Kevin Nash ended Goldberg winning Streak and back when WWE was called WWF TV rating started to higher and made WCW go out of business.

[@Thrashtodeth]

I think it funny people talk shit about WCW, but WCW 1996-2000 was better than WWE's past 4 years.

[@johnlewisbrooks]

I'd say basically WCW had so many problems it was like a plane catching on fire and slowly burning until it inevitably crashed. The stories were boring, the matches became uninspired, the wrestlers sometimes didn't seem to know what was going on (Jericho up there validating my point) and apparently a LOT of ego in the background. It was basically a collection of piss-poor choices leading to the downfall of a once leading company! I still get upset over it when I think about it.

[@CAWGregoryBlack]

WOW! They had no idea what was going to happen in their matches? Holy shit...Imagine how easy it'd be to get a match against a champion and with no finish, you just say "I'm going over" and you'd win the title? Damn....Someone with the smarts could've been WCW Grand Slam Champion many times over.

[@DarkReapersGrim]

Jericho is one of those good guys in real life. I think a lot of Canadians are like that, as opposed to Americans who would tell you to "fuck off," even when you helped make their careers.

[@OverLordRiper]

Yea,i'm just really fed up with the ''harcore'' MMA fans spamming wrestling videos with their bullshit.I guess they feel insecure because wrestling is a bigger industry,but that doesn't give them the right to take away from professional athletes who sacrifice their bodies and shorten their lives to give us a performance so entertaining MMA won't come close to it in a million years.Especially since with all the rules you can hardly call it a real fight.More real then wrestling,but still.

[@LTglenn91]

he is one of the best people for wrestling ever, he was never greedy, he put younger wrestlers over, only held like 3-4 world titles dropped to mid card and tag to once again put people over, always had great gimmicks and kept himself fresh

[@joelsttn]

@Batistaberg Yes on Schiavone's comment, but the fingerpoke was delivered by Hogan to Kevin Nash, allowing him to pin Nash, win the belt and reform the NWO. The Hogan/Jarrett incident was at Bash At The Beach 2000 when Jarrett lay down on the mat to allow Hogan to pin him, while Vince Russo was at ringside.

[@PYLrulz1984]

And the thing was, until Ted Turner sold, it had the money backing to fix that up. If AOL/Time Warner never buys Ted Turner's empire, Ted Turner eats his losses, and you'd figure WCW would have a few lean years before hopping back on the horse, and giving the WWF/E a challenge again.

[@RedFlagCoalition]

And WCW was too old school to be in touch with the new fanbase that the Monday night wars culture was breeding. The Attitude era was what helped shape that dynamic from what was then the carnival circus and superhero stageplay. WCW was def. mainstream but in the end they forgot how to tell actual stories and didn't focus on quality wrestling. Just throwing money at the product is what literally killed it

[@Antrizzle2009]

The thing with the Big Show, when I say he's dropped the ball, he gets fat and lazy and chooses not to keep in shape. Every time they gave him the belt this is what happened. Plus the sad fact is, the fans just don't respond to him like when he first came around. It's like they've been de-sensitized with his size and all. Honestly at this point who can he even have an effective match with? I think his role right now with the Miz is good for him and it keeps him relevant.

@kuunami When WWF became WWE, there was a switch in the way the product would be sold to the audience, and it worked.

I like all the guys that you mentioned on WCW for different reasons. But Malenko never even got close to the same level of push in WWF as he had in WCW. He went from the Iceman Dean Malenko, the man of a 1000 holds, member of the 4 horsemen, US champ, Tag champ, Cruiserweight champ. To James Bond wannabe try to score with Lita and looking stupid in the process. Guerrero and Benoit couldn't handle the spot light.

Jericho is a cool guy, but to be honest, he never really seemed like...he was on that main event level to me, even after all these years in the WWF/WWE. I never really believed he was going to come out on top in his feuds with characters like The Rock or Hunter, though it probably would've been nice.

Exactly. It's stupid to even bring it up. I mean, I admit that when I was like 12 I was a little disappointed to find out it was scripted but it didn't change most of how I felt about it.

[@therrydicule]

@assemblyguy "Bad storyline, repetitive feud" - I agree, and I don't understand how it happen. Story lines are like soap opera, so they just need to go to a university, find these graduates with an english major, find the ones that like wrestling (may want to give free posters) and test them with a few ideas of story lines, then just sign 2 or 3. It will cost a lot less than paying half a million a years to Russo and the story lines will be better.

[@TheIrishEnigma]

Chris Jericho switched to the WWF in 1999, David Arquette didn't win the belt until a year later.

[@comradecarabao9122]

[@DTM4581]

Way too simplistic to say all creative decisions were influenced only by poor booking, politics, fear, contracts & treachery all assisted in WCW losing it's way toward the end. Scott Steiner was one of the best heels around in his day & deserved to hold the belt. Its too easy to trash him because he went OTT on the gear but he aint the only sted head who has graced the squared circle.

[@Dragonball4eva]

[@CyranoDeCorveau]

Although there is no doubt that WCW was a mess in the end, all this retroperspektive on a WWE DVD can also be taken serious to a certain extend. I mean, we hear all this from guys that were employed by the WWE at the time this DVD was made. You have to keep that in mind. I'm not saying stuff like the FedEx thing is made up - but you have to keep in mind that these guys were doing a DVD FOR the WWE, not for fair journalism or anything like this.

That's why we have both Raw and Smackdown champions.

@donn409 It wasn't about profitability initially, it is about control over an industry lacking leadership. McMahon may or may not be a fair man outside the ring, but he knows how to make deals to increase profit unless you talk about football failures. He will take over a financially incompetent organization as long as he sees there is something to gain by that move. WCW was such a move, it had the popularity but it also had venues which WWE could not access. Wait and see, TNA is next.

[@slimtechn]

@RobVanDamkicksass No WCW didn't MAKE Chris Jericho but they certainly helped. There is no question Jericho, like many other WCW talents, was underutilized in favor of washed up veterans like Hogan, Hart, Flair and others. He was never given a chance to shine in WCW & he defiantly made the right call in jumping ship, however WCW does deserve a lot of credit. Yes he was well-known in other countries and yes he was in ECW, but WCW was without question his biggest break, until Vince called that is.

[@ilikepizza625]

If you want to see NWO live on and on well after everyone stopped caring and them not making new stars just pushing the same old flabby guys from wrestlings past. that just about sums it up right there
