Couldn't agree more with the above post. WCW died because it was a shitshow and the people providing the toilet paper didn't want to wipe up any more when they could see the company doing nothing but eating vindaloo.
All the rumours from the start have slowly started to look true, one at a time. The Khans involvement. Turner as TV. Two hour prime time. JR and Jericho. The other piece that came out was that the money figures for this TV deal were the biggest for any TV deal ever in wrestling, with the exception of WWE's latest deals with USA and Fox. If that's true, they will have serious money at their disposal, and that the big offer alone, if true, speaks to the fact that television is changing and comparisons to 18 years ago don't apply.
