Wow, an actual contribution to the wrestling forum from St. Jimmy.
Does not like the vault's direct competition.

The vault doesn't show much wrestling, and it's mostly ROH/WWF product. WCW was better. Also I cannot STAND ROH.
WCW was better.
*In your opinion

The Outsiders, The Horsemen, non b-team nWo, the Luchas, Crow Sting, Tony Shavone, War Games, World War 3. So much greatness.
And if you go back, The Hollywood Blondes, Cactus Jack, Vader, Rick Rude as WCW International Champion. Fucking amazing.

Plus just solid undercard wrestling. Oh, and Nash.

Exactly. Nash was the most expensive man to be in the ring with, fined with those 50K per Jacknife.

They also had "the Lone Wolf" era of Barry Windham, which I still say is one of the main inspirations behind "the Game" gimmick for Trips.

Wrestling wise, I'd say yeah. Even in it's dying years WCW had solid wrestling.

the best moments of WCW are better than WWE nowadays, but the crappier WCW moments cannot be compared with the crappy moments of WWE....

Look at each company peak:
WCW:97 or 98 depending on who you ask(people might forgot about 1998 due to the Mcmahon vs. Austin storyline and Russo crash tv but WCW was still pretty damn awesome to the point even Hogan was having high quality matches from time to time)
WWE:87,89,97,98 depending on who you ask but these four years will get the most votes.
ECW:94-95 by far
TNA:LOL its hard to choose.
AAA: 94
CMLL:too hard to tell but they were breaking records in 2005/2006.
JCP:1986
Mid SOuth:84
WCCW:83
I always thought WCW in 1997 was the perfect wrestling company. You had many different styles,variety of wrestlers from around the world that truly felt like a worldwide organization. The storylines drew heat,you had big names,legends. You had enough tv time for everyone but it didn't feel oversaturated like WWE trying to put a show on television every night of the week. Nitro was the main show, Pro and Main event was the 1 hour cable weekend shows for c list guys and to review storylines. Worldwide was the national syndicated show like Pro and Main event but use big stars from time to time. Saturday night was the show that had ALL THE IN RING ACTION and was strictly to showcase the best wrestling possible. They had everything, and it truly felt like a WORLDWIDE wrestling federation. WWE might called itself the biggest wrestling fed in the world but I don't see any lucha,puro,international wrestlers on the shows. Same goes for TNA and ROH. World Elite,they might be international wrestlers but they act and wrestle like everyone else so it's not really a variety.

Cactus Jack Lost In Cleveland, "That '70s Guy" Mike Awesome, Black Scorpion, David Arquette, Shockmaster, Chamber of Horror, G.I. Bro, Oklahoma, Oz, Dennis Rodman, Jay Leno, Karl Malone, Spin the Wheel Make the Deal, The Yeti...
I loved WCW too, but they had just as much, if not more, terrible storylines and characters as WWF/E.

I think strong cases could all be made for '96 (debuts of Rock, and Angle), as well as '99-'01, as far as the peak period in the WWE.
