Who WCW could've pushed to save the company...

WCW needed at least 4 or 5 talents to carry the company into the future, and they should've started in 1998.

Scott Steiner--Immediately following his heel turn at Superbrawl.

Chris Jericho--Like others said, he did his best material in WCW, like finding loopholes in the rulebooks to get the cruiserweight title back all the time. He could've had the spot that Jarrett eventually got when he returned in October '99. Did Eric ever regret letting him go? If not, he probably didn't watch the RAW in August of that year.

Chris Benoit---Should've moved on to the U.S. Title following the Best Of 7 series.

Booker T. ---See Chris Benoit. He also should not have had to turn into The Rock in order to win the World Title, his "street-smart" character was just fine.

Goldberg---Keep him champion at Starrcade.

Diamond Dallas Page---Maybe have him win the World Title a little earlier than he did, as by Spring '99, he got a little stale in the eyes of some fans.

Buff Bagwell----Let's pretend that he never involved his mother in any storylines, or a tag team title reign with Rick Steiner. He was great as a heel in the nWo, he just needed more than one catchphrase.
