What do you miss about WCW?
The reason I dont like ECW on Scfi is because they dont have any of the things that the original ECW make great. The high flying Luchadors, the sucicidal risks, the hardcore matches period are all gone. What are some aspects of WCW did you really like and miss? What are some things you'd like to see come back? I miss the crusierweight division from WCW. The matches between Kaz Hayashi, Evan Karagias and Shane Helms always entertained and I think that a crusierweight tag team divison was kinda far streached but I'd like to see more high flying tag teams. Which brings me to my next thing which is I want to see more accomplishing tag teams in the WWE. I dont mean stick miz and morrison together to beat champs the rivals MVP and Matt but to make a tag team like Jinjrak and O' Hare, Styles and Air Paris or Kronik (who actually elimated each other at diffrent Royal rumble matches) or get accomplished tag teams like the Stiener Bros, or LOD (maybe Vice can call Animal and Bryan Clark and make a super tag team :shifty:) and have them wrestle in a division and make tag team wrestleing mean something. What else do you miss about WCW?
PS Nitro Girls :drool: |
The only thing I miss about WCW is it had a habit of putting Vince in check, where he HAD to pull out his best stuff and put on a hell of a show. Since he's the only dog in the yard now he can shit all over the place now.

Cruisers had a spot on the card.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not pulling for cruiserweights to dominate the big guys, but the CW title was used frequently, and mattered about as much as any undercard title can be expected to. It allowed me to get my fix of weekly athleticism before watching the soap operas... Competition: because it kept Vince in line. Variety: Because if one bored me on Monday Night, I could switch to the other and had a decent shot at being entertained. |
I miss seeing stars like Nash, Hogan, Flair, Sting, Goldberg, DDP, the Steiners, and others wrestle each other every monday night.
I miss the awesome cruiserweight matches. I miss Diamond Dallas Page, the People's Champion. More than anything I just miss the incredible pomp and overblown atmosphere of Monday Nitro. |

DDP was People's Champ first.
|
Ask any casual fan who the people's champ was, and they'll give you the same answer.
|
|
No one that does yoga could be the "People's" anything.
|
Because I liked it better than the WWF :(
They actually had an undercard. |
Top to bottom it was a better show
|
Well... BEFORE Vince Russo came along
|
War Games...and I don't mean this Lethal Lockdown we have now
|
War games was THE SHIT
|
A Tag team divison, crusier weights, "gang warfare"
|
I miss the chance that someone unexpected will show up on a show. Nothing can shock anymore.
While it wasn't true in the 90s, by the end of WCW they were letting a lot of their talent rise to the surface. Their commentators were better. Their wrestlers were actually over with the crowd who turned up. Thuder was a B show, but at least it you knew it was a B show. |

- How over DDP was and should've had the title sometime in '98
- The Crow Sting character and every fucking thing about him - nWo late '96-'97 - Macho Man's 'madness' character - Alex Wright's cocky dance - Jericho v. Cruiserweights - Fall Brawl/War Games - Bobby Heenan & Tony S. commentary - Eddie G. - Booker T (very underrated in WCW during the TV title days) - TV title when it was at its peak - Nitro when it was at the beach/poolside |
all the crazy shit...then again TNA does much more crazy shit.
|
Any company that has Silk the Shocker in an angle and gives David Arquette a World Title doesn't deserve to die.
|
NWO
Horsemen Something different. |
Pretty much everything that's already been said.
Also, O'Haire getting a good push. :( |
Also, Blitzkrieg.
|
Sweet Video Games with Foreign wrestlers with fake names.
|
WCW had some good camera work with entrances too

DDP is the correct answer

The rivalry. At the peak of the wars, both companies were doing anything. Wrestling was outrageous compared to now. bumps, decent angles, mid carders we gave a fuck about. It's like there were mini-plots all over the place. When Vince took everything over. It was the end. But hey, at least there is 1... no 0.06% of a chance that something may come of TNA or at least start taxing WWE's minds more to do something better.
I'd really like to see another company get a decent TV deal. Over here it's useless, Bravo "does it's best" but that it. If some wrestling promotion got it's foot in the door. With the right guidance (no Hogan's please ffs) it could make good TV and if there's a decent alternative, maybe people will finally "fuck WWE off". I admit, I watch it more now that i did a year ago. But it's still nout special really. |

Now NORMALLY I have a lot of time for the Fox, but you've over-stepped the mark here. When I think of the People's Champion, I DON'T think of DDP coming down to the ring inhaling the electricity of the millions, AND I MEAN MILLIONS, of The Rock's fans and whipping every roodi-poodi, candy-assed Jabroni all the way back to the Smackdown Hotel on Know Your Role Boulevarde. OK. Enough cliches there for you FoFiddy? Oh. And what do I miss most from WCW...one word...Bischoff |
nWo

They had actually had and somewhat care about their midcard.
|
Tony Schiavone overhyping everything.
LA PARKA! The threat that someone would turn up on either show unannounced |
there's about a hundred things I could list off, but the important ones were listed in this thread. They put on a great show and even when the show was at it's worst, I'd still take that over today's wrestling.

How the hell do you know that anyway? |
The way they tended to treat their mid-card acts with time and respect. Chris Jericho was a fantastic heel in WCW, and Diamond Dallas Page was a fantastic face. The whole competition aspect was great, too. And Disco Inferno's music.

HELLO Winston!! HELLO Winston, Salem!!! No, thats not the right door. |
I liked that they used some wrestlers better than WWE did... I loved Lance Storm in WCW, he was used to his full potential I think. I really liked Bam Bam vs Goldberg although it never really went anywhere... I actually really liked WCW when Russo first came in, until the David Arquette stuff. He was using a lot of new ideas and good wrestlers, some from ECW like Candido, EZ Money, I really liked that a lot. I really liked the cruiserweight division, always it was always pretty good.
