There is no doubt that WCW failed because of the lack of ability to push new talent like the WWE did. When you have the same guys at the top all the time which WCW did and have the nWo killing everyone then people will get bored. But I feel that WCW also died because a lot of guys didn't care. Guys like Benoit, Guerrero, Malenko etc were guys that did care and wanted to put on good matches all the time yet they were never given the push. You hear it from nearly all the guys that left WWE to go to WCW that they went purely for the money. With that they are just going to stroll through matches and with creative control they will abuse that power to keep themselves on top. In the end WCW failed of the ridiculous politics which made their best wrestlers want to leave and they did. When WCW lost Benoit, Jericho, Guerrero, Malenko and Saturn they lost the guys that were just as important as the nWo. WCW dominated because of the nWo and the influx of real wrestlers. Eventually when those guys were so unhappy that even they didn't care then WCW was destine dto fall apart.
