I seem to recall just about everyone with a brain who was online at the time throwing ideas around to save WCW. I myself must have wrote at least 100 in a 6 month span. I guess it was us who killed WCW though.

This is the thing that always gets to me.
Back in the day when WWE was hot and WCW was not I used to frequent a massage board (not this one) and had almost nothing bad to say about the WWE product and very little good to say about the WCW product. IMO those positions were justified, WWE was doing great TV/PPV house shows, and WCW was doing a poor job with all those things.
During that time, I never once seen the WWE criticize the 'net. In fact they loved the net, as I recall they had two or three internet shows, where they took pot shots at WCW for being so stupid and soaked in the praise of the fans. Now that they have been screwing things up for the better part of 3 years, you get JR and others coming on their one remaining internet show calling their most loyal fans morons (for lack of a better term).
In terms of the Benoit and Guerrero thing, consider this, even though Eddie is the Linear World Champion, he is the top guy on SD, and right now SD is being booked to look like a minor league product. Then on RAW, Benoit is the Fake World Champion, but the show is treated as the main program, so in a lot of ways his title is more important than Eddie's. However, has Benoit main evented a PPV without HHH? The answer is no, and it will continue through Bad Blood and then Hunter will get the title back. So even though Benoit has the title, HHH is and always will be the top guy on RAW, and thus in the WWE. Yes we have some good matches in the mian events now that Benoit is the champ and has to be in the mix, but dont be fooled he is NOT the top guy on RAW, that spot still belongs to Pinocchio.
As for the article, the dude lost all credibility when he said Nash put butts into seats. When did this happen?
