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.
Agreed.

BTW, you mentioned this above:

I was wondering if you buy into the rumors that Bischoff was trying to purposely kill off the company so he could buy it for himself. Cause if it were true, his mistakes wouldn't have been mistakes.
