[@Obscusion2]

Aside from the main event itself, even Whipwreck vs. Kidman was an example of just how chaotic WCW was backstage, creatively. According to Mickey himself, he was given at least three different orders for his match when it came to length, balance of offense, etc., and from three different people! Meanwhile, there's also a rumor that Mickey's entire push was more or less quashed after that debut match because the match itself was too good & that someone got annoyed that their later match was made to look pathetic. That person? Vincent. Yeah, aside from being given conflicting orders regarding the match itself, Mickey Whipwreck's time in WCW may have been screwed over by Vincent, of all people; not even Stevie Ray! At any other time & any other promotion this would sound completely absurd, but this is WCW in early 1999 so it actually sounds believable.

[@zlinedavid]

Virgil better be sending Mikey a lifetime supply of meat sauce to make up for that.

[@TimTE01]

According to the WWE Documentary , they signed Whipwreck to a 1 year deal, despite knowing that he’d be out for about 6 months to have knee surgery. This kept him out of ECW though, so…win?

I know a lot of people point to the Fingerpoke of Doom being the first warning sign that WCW was definitely heading down the wrong path, but to me, the Uncensored 1999 main event, and *especially* the double-turn in particular was the TRUE catalyst for the spiraling decline that WCW would go on from this point onward, made only worse the following month with the logo change/re-branding. From this point onwards, things get incredibly sad, and the highlights become much fewer and farther in between.

[@Ghost-304]

It wasn’t that everyone was joining Nwo the first sign of company crumbling lol. But yea finger of doom, matches , promos, story lines etc was down fall that everyone seen coming. Not to mention not letting DX into building that day made WWE take over lol

[@Alehud42]

There were many inflection points that sent them backwards or downwards between Hog Wild 97 and March 99 but *this* is the cliff face they fall off only to really start to recover once they were weeks from death.

[@namikstudios]

The logo/set change is probably the best marker of where the good old WCW ended and when it started going down hill. Not that the logo/set is what caused it but it certainly didn't help.

WCW Uncensored 1999 was the last WCW PPV of the iconic WCW period from 1988 to early 1999. After this and a number of Nitros and Thunders, get ready to wash your eyes out after April 1999 because WCW will get its most hated symbol and look soon.

[@namikstudios]

No, Hulk was incredibly over during this time. Having him front and centre made perfect sense. Eric also learned from his mentor's major mistake - Verne Gagne, who Eric worked for in the AWA, infamously refused to put the belt on a young Hulk Hogan, which eventually lead to him jumping to the WWE and becoming the biggest star in the industry.

[@Allencartercomix]

This might have been the only world title match where Flair went over Hogan. I remember not really wanting to see them do a double-turn, but after watching it recently, many of the fans seemed to be behind it. However, this begins a series of nonsensical turns in several months with Kevin Nash (heel in March '99, babyface by end of April), and the nWo wolfpac elite slowly dissolving with Steiner turning on Bagwell, Hogan going off TV after Spring Stampede, and Scott Hall off TV until October. Then there's the DDP slow heel turn and his first two World Title reigns. There will be some unintentional comedy soon with the return of Sid Vicious in the summer, especially when he begins a feud with Goldberg.

[@namikstudios]

Yes! Half the brain! 😂

While WM XV wasn't a great card from top to bottom, to know that the WWF put their two hottest wrestlers together in a main event that actually made sense and furthered the future of the company while WCW primed the pump once more and again with Hogan v Flair says so much about how WCW couldn't get out of its own way

@@Miguel-mp7uz like I said and as you agreed, Jericho was midcarded for years. It wasn't until well after WCW was sold to WWE that he was finally put in the main event.

Tbf, the main point of the main event was to show that flair had become corrupt enough to now start fixing matches for himself (ie bribing refs etc). Problem is, Hollywood was also a heel and it was hard to know how we the audience were supposed to feel. Although it's clear from the crowd reaction, that they wanted them to ditch the Hollywood gimmick.

[@DaManEX1983]

This is where WCW started to feel the consequences of the Fingerpoke of Doom. Kevin Nash claims it was done to set up a heel faction for Goldberg to go through but instead it was Ric Flair and then Flair abusing his power as President caused the nWo to become babyfaces.

[@johnepants]

Bingo. There was no payoff to the Fingerpoke and WCW would just fart it’s way through the next 2 years before dying

[@micklemackle207]

I remember when I was watching the DSOTR Ep on Bash at the Beach 2000 and Russo is talking about how he was in a creative meeting (allegedly Bischoff claims this never happened because he wasn't present at the meeting) and everyone in that meeting wanted to make Booker T the next pet project of the brand Jarrett (Russo's friend) says he was (allegedly) supportive of the idea namely because it would get the belt off Hogan. This match with Steiner was likely the inkling that Booker was gonna be the guy

[@zlinedavid]

I am far from a Russo fan, and think he got more things wrong than he did right. But I will admit that occasionally, he had a good idea. If this is true, he was dead on right. Booker vs Steiner should have been happening in 1999, not 2000.

People talk about the Fingerpoke of Doom marking the beginning of the end for WCW, but they still did a 1.1 buyrate with this PPV (only slightly below Starrcade 1998) and they were still doing great ratings for Nitro, just not as good as Raw's absurdly good ratings in this period. Most WCW fans still had faith that they could still get back on track, like the awesomeness of mid-1996 to mid-1998 - roughly from after Uncensored 1996 to Goldberg beating Hogan for the title. The problem was that WCW became increasingly like a second-rate WWF (especially once Russo came along, but even before that) with lots of soap opera shenanigans and a focus on promos/vignettes over in-ring action, while lots of WCW fans' favourite wrestlers started going to the WWF or not getting pushed. Jericho, Goldberg, Benoit, even DDP for the most part - they were relegated to the sidelines and we got e.g. Hogan vs. Sting, long after that pairing was a confirmed damp squib. And we never saw Hart vs. Hogan, which was their last Ace of established names cards. WCW was apparently in profit in the first half of 1999, then did so badly in the second half that they lost $8 million overall in 1999, according to Dave Meltzer. If you look at ratings and buyrates, April-June 1999 was when the big slide happened, and early 2000 was when the nadir was reached. WCW never escaped it, though the actual shows in the last ~4 months were better that the horrorshow that was late 1999 to mid 2000. Unfortunately, even previously loyal WCW fans like me had mostly stopped watching at that point; I only found out about the WCW sale when I was watching the WWF. So, the poor booking decisions in March 1999 were a major reason of why WCW didn't just become the number 2 company (subsequent companies have shown that it's possible to survive for years that way) but actually began to go into financial meltdown. They needed Ric Flair to be doing old-school WCW booking that their fanbase loved, not main eventing an increasingly WWF-lite company.

It's crazy how Saturns character and story seems to be evolving better than the main guys lol. Super underrated. ❤

The main event is one of my favorite Hogan v. Flair matches ever. Whether it was first blood or not and whether or not they stuck to the plan, I enjoyed it. When I think of these two, this match always comes to mind.

I sure do miss Mark Curtis's finger guns. 😄👍

I miss the way WCW refs would flop their hands around between counts.

I remember this being the PPV where Heenan turned his back on Schiavone during the opening minutes

What a mess. Turning Flair heel, Hogan face and destroying the NWO again. All in 20 minutes.

That table in Raven/BBB/Sandman looked like it had seen two World Wars. The Magna Carta was signed on that table. It survived the blast that killed the dinosaurs. Why does anyone think that an unmodified, made-in-America, honest-to-God table is going to break?

That double turn really makes no sense to me. 1st it was only 2 months ago Hogan won the title with a finger poke. He has turned Flairs own son against him. He is the leader of a group of heels. It was only 6 months ago to that the fans were going mad for Flairs return. To me it makes no sense
