You've got to remember that 2000 was a very surreal year for WCW. David Arquette had been champion, WCW as a whole was rebooted, they drooped the New Blood/Millionaire's club when it didn't produce the results that they initially wanted, Russo booking plus if you look at the Starrcade card for that year it doesn't fill you with much excitement. Steiner/Sid for the title.

Some of their last Nitros seemed very low. Sin, Superbrawl Revenge and Greed looked bad numbers wise as well. They really cut back in production and I've also read previously that by the end they were only touring the South. WWF in comparison were getting at least double what WCW were in attendance IIRC. The funny thing was it seemed like they'd hit the worst and were about to come out the other side.
