Guest JHawk Report post Posted April 10, 2003 Today in Wrestling History (April 10, 2000) Bischoff and Russo working together to try to save WCW? Did they get off to a good start? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Aero Report post Posted April 11, 2003 I thought it was a great read. I was never too familiar with WCW, and this brought me up to speed with how the whole New Blood-Millionaire's Club came about. True Story: I barely ever watched WCW in 2000. When I decided to catch an episode of Thunder one night, I witnessed David Arquette winning the World Title, of all things. Needless to say, I mostly stayed far, FAR away from any WCW TV from then on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest caboose Report post Posted April 11, 2003 The New Blood/Millionaire Club angle was essentially a good idea. Russo and Bischoff however were the wrong guys o have it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Will Scarlet Report post Posted April 11, 2003 Aside from Arquette, I loved April - July 2000 WCW. Maybe it's just me ... I liked a lot of later WCW. It had an entirely different feel than the WWE has now. Heck, I even taped a few Nitros during one of Booker T's WCW title reigns, and I find those to be more enjoyable than most Raws lately.

DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2003 Am I the only person anywhere that liked Raw this past Monday? I liked it. These days, as long as the show isn't ovelry offensive or boring, I'll accept an average - decent Raw as good enough for me. Anyway, good read. I'm a mark for historical columns, that's one of the reasons I like Keith's book. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Mulatto Heat Report post Posted April 13, 2003 I loved reading that, JHawk. I missed that particular Nitro, but recall catching the previous week's show (April 3, 2000), which was all recaps and history, and it just screamed "We're desperate! We don't know what to do anymore!" Nice to read a review of that show that's not from DDTDigest (just to read it in a different format and from another perspective). I liked watching WCW in July 2000 with Booker's first few weeks as champ because it seemed new and exciting, and it was the first time I was interested in WCW after more than two years. Of course, that went down the toilet in August when Russo just had to put his ugly mug on TV, they did a false title switch with CHUCK F'N PALUMBO, and Booker lost the title to Nash.

Guest HartFan86 Report post Posted April 13, 2003 I think WCW was underrated from about December 2000 to when it died. I really enjoyed watching it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
