And I think you guys are misremembering. They sold WCW cause it was losing money, yes. But they sold it for WAY less than they could have because they didn't want "hillbilly wrestling" on their network. It didn't match with their vision for a sophisticated network.I

That's all I was saying.
That's not true though, lol. That's the Bischoff story he tells to make himself look like less of an idiot for devaluing their assets in record time. The fact that WCW was losing money is all that matters. They're not cutting "hillbilly wrestling" if it is making them all rich. WCW wasn't making them rich, thus it had the reputation it had.

When Vince McMahon shopped WCW to networks in 2001, under his umbrella, no one wanted it. Who would they have sold it to? Who was buying? I think you are misremembering. They were fucking dead. Don't let Bischoff fool you into thinking it was some big AOL/Time Warner conspiracy based around elitist tastes or anything, lol. He ran a once profitable promotion into the ground with incompetent decisions.
