Tank Abbott couldn't work and the WWF already had established UFC stars like Severn and Shamrock who could work. The Warrior was paid an insane amount of money just to come back for one match to get Hogan his win back. I fail to see any positives to any of these before they were executed. The execution was never the problem. The original idea was.

I will have to agree to disagree with you about those things. No Limit was WCW's way to try and bring in the younger audience with a popular rap group of the time but just like with the Warrior. They paid them both alot of money and gave them Creative Control of the direction, so they made as few appearances (I think Master P did two shows) pocketed the money and walked away. KISS was always a very entertaing act, but WCW promised them more they they should have and it ended up being another wash. I mean look at what the WWE is doing now, they had ZZ Top, and Shaq Fu as hosts. Is it any better?
