I could go on.
Yeah, every WCW fan at my school started watching WWE only except for flipping to WCW during commercials after Spring Stampede 1998.

I get the impression that WCW's USA Today and business card errors were because too many people were officially responsible, whereas TNA's mistakes with the licenses and distribution channels were because the people who should have been responsible had been fired or laid off without anyone picking up the slack.

In terms of WCW's entire history vs. TNA's entire history, I'd say TNA is worse because they haven't had ratings or buy rates peak even close to WCW's.
