in 1999, WCW still had a much better roster and talented wrestlers than the WWF, the only problem was the stupid booking commitee and pointless angles that went nowhere and made no sense at all, that alone left WCW a shell of its former self, anyone who watched WCW in 2000 would agree with that
Sad that we'l never see that on our TV screens again. nine years on and I'm still sad about it. WCW could have picked it's self back up with good enough booking and a little patience. Even Vince could have saved it, but his ego was too big to allow that to happen.
Shows ho much of an asshole Vince is. 'Fuck the WCW Fans, we're WWF! We're superior and you will like our programming!'
This logo and intro aren't that bad. The only problem is that nothing good happened to WCW after they started using this logo, because of that it's hard to look at this logo in a positive way.
get your facts straight, WCW formed off of NWA which is the oldest wrestling promotion that exists.
Get your facts straight, WCW entered a monday night time slot on TNT, not to copy WWF, but to complete.
get your facts straight, the first WCW Nitro introduction, with explosions and video footage of wrestlers appearing on the buildings was later copied by WWF in 1997 in their Raw intro.
It doesn't matter what came first- all GamingPalooza said were facts. DX was a lame nWo rip off. Hollywood Hogan WAS the first "cool" heel. Bischoff was the first evil overlord boss in that era.
It bothers me how people never want to admit that, especially the DX thing.
I think it was a rip off because it was time for that style of wrestling to make a comeback, not to just be a rip off. I think Heyman is a student of wrestling and admired what Watts was able to do. And he applied the same theory very well.
It would be mostly lies and revisionist history giving WCW NO credit for things like lucha, puro and women's puro being introduced to mainstream wrestling. It'd suck hard. Then they'd get Flair to say guys like Sting (who was WCW's main man) were just flashes in the pan.
well just a thought but your right they might chop it down to there own vision of it and stick more to the monday night war and say stars like sting werenothing and say nWo killed WCW
Nitro never won in 1999. I grew up watching WCW and I felt bitter about the WWE buying the company. However, once I started watching old WWF matches I realized that even back then the WWF was kicking Nitro's butt and rightfully so they deserved to be the dominant wrestling company.
i agree same here, and that logo is better than the that red one from invasion. also its cool how in svr 2009 u can make people from wcw after its unlocked but wish they added nitro as a arena
In a weird way when McMahon acquired WCW and ECW, wrestling became less interesting because there was no longer any mainstream wrestling competition. ECW is still around, but you know it's still WWE with the ECW logo, and you now have TNA which is coming up. Nevertheless, mainstream wrestling entertainment is not the same as the good ole' days :-)
It truely was the golden age of wrestling! The Monday night wars drove these companies to there absolute limits and the winner was not WWF/E, WCW or ECW it was us the fans! But now Vince has no one running with him they have just laxed so much. TNA is still very much in short trousers so saddly we have to sit here and have Bateista's, John Cena's and Edge's shoved at us! BRING ON THE NEXT WAR I SAY!!!
So tell me... did Steve Austin, Benoit, Al Snow, Eddie Guerrero. Rey Misterio Jr., Konnan, Juventud Guerrera and Shane Douglas devlelop their gimmicks in WWF & WCW.???.. hell Austin was drinking beers and raising hell in ECW before he stepped anywhere near a wwf ring... even wcw dropped the ball with the 'stunning' steve austin gimmick before they fired him...
and that list doesn't even take into account the ones who made their names this decade or inside the company... tazz, sabu, the sandman, the dudleys, rvd, rhyno, jericho, tajiri, lita... or the ones who worked for them at various points... terry funk, mick foley, jimmy snuka, dusty rhodes, scott hall, bam bam bigelow, brian pillman, don muraco, dean malenko, jim the anvil neidhart and mabel(viscera) the steiner brothers, the eliminators, farrooq, sid vicious and tito santana...
and didn't they bring the three-way dance (triangle/triple threat) match back to prominence in america??? shit... could at least give them half the fuckin credit they deserve for making shit happen before wwf and wcw raided them...
the best logo ever and is still the very best entrance ramp/set today WWE sets suck..i like TNA's tunnel idea but the WCW set was the koolest when it parted to let the wrestlers out then close again
WWE beat WCW from late 1998 to WCW's downfall in 2001. Was it consecutive wins? No, Nitro won a couple here and there in 1999, but WWE's dominance those years lasted longer than the 86 weeks WCW beat the then-WWF from 1996 to 1998.
well they can stil use it. just from seeing it they now have WCW and all. i can see that now if it was way the shape be different and the intialials look just little like this but it be cool
Because WWE was going to make WCW a seperate promotion under their banner(KInda how The New ECW Started out before just being a WWE Brand). Thats why they Re-branded it. But Vince could not strike a deal with TNN/Spike or UPN. So instead they just went with the RAW & Smackdown brand extension.
@JasonCoolKat I know exactly how you feel, and I've felt pretty bitter towards vince WWF/WWE since that bs took place. I wish Bischoff was able to buy it like he wanted instead of that asshole vince
Just like every one else here, I'VE MISSED WCW, WWE cant get into it, like TNA But WCW is the BEST! A quick trip down memory lane to mention a few names here such as Flyin Brian Pilman (R.I.P), Ricky The Dragon Steamboat, Stars and Stripes aka The patriot and Marcus Alexander Bagwell, Sting, Goldberg, Kevin Nash, Sid Vicious.

In India, we only watched WWF at that time which showed Raw is War, WWF Superstar and LiveWire.
TNT starts at 9 pm at that time and also only Nitro comes every Friday..so it was less popular here

WWF is older than WCW and RAW is older than the WCW Nitro show which was both Monday night. and RAW had Monday night.
