I never really watched WCW, but I have a certain nostalgia for the shows and angles they provided. When I picture WCW, I picture a show with an actual mid-card, that let its cruiserweights develop personalities, and get over.

I'm just watching Ultimo Dragon vs. Rey Mysterio now, and I can't imagine the WWE letting Paul London and Jimmy Yang go fifteen minutes to open a PPV, with a story and credibility attached.

But KK is right, history is written by the winner. It is up to us to question it. I do think the term "stolen" is thrown around a bit too much in this thread. DX, Vince McMahon and WrestleMania could be proposed as "inspired" by their WCW counterparts, or even developed to respond to them (they were in competition and everything); stolen is such a harsh word, though.
