TPWW Forums - View Single Post - A Continuing Debate - Why Did WCW Fail? And Is The WWE On The Same Path?

The only reason WCW isn't around today is because Turner started selling everything he could due to financial troubles. The board of directors and his bitch-ass wife, Jane Fonda only cared about one thing... the bottom line. And since Turner has his hand in every damn cookie jar he can get ahold of, wrestling was not his top priority. WCW was doing poorly at the time, so *poof* no more WCW.

Turner publicly stated that he wanted to shut Vince down. He gave Nitro 3 hours (!), early starts and late endings. Thunder got 2 hours most of it's run. I honestly believe if Turner hadn't made some bad business desicions, he would have eaten any loss WCW created just so he could continue putting the screws to Vince.

Why did WCW fall?

<--- He's why.
