Thats what kinda gets overlooked when people talk about Bischoff's shortcomings.

He had to cater to those established guys in order to bring them to WCW and get people to watch his product over the WWE's.

So its kinda one of those ironic deals, where what made it strong also crippled it. Which is what Bischoff did. However, I do feel it was still in decent shape when Russo took over. What Russo did was to turn it into a joke, and I feel he ultimately made it so that WCW as a name has a negative stigma.

I mean even though Bischoff made a ton of mistakes, and he let a lot of great pieces of talent go, he still didn't make the WCW brand a living joke.
