BTW I hated their shitty over booked main events and the fact that they NEVER had good main event matches. Nobody worked well, the best guys they had were Bret Hart, Jarrett, Benoit, Flair, and fuckin Goldberg.

I miss the overall cheesiness and tackiness to the whole product, it was almost as immense as the early 1990's WWF.

I miss the epic build-up for Sting-Hogan.

I miss Meng.

I miss actually getting to see Kevin Sullivan wrestle. (Induct him in the WWE Hall of Fame, in Benoit's spot.)

I miss the peak of Big Van Vader and "The Lone Wolf" Barry Windham.

Just about everything from 1996 - 1998.

For serious tho, I really miss the fantastic midcard/undercard and the legitimate alternative to the WWE. Competition breeds innovation.

I suppose I just miss it being there. It was a far more challenging and threatening compettitor to WWE than TNA is or likely ever will be. At times it was flat out better.

Most of their main eventers and storylines bored the shit out of me, since most of them were very early 90s era WWFesque. It was the midcard and undercard that was the best.

I mainly miss their midcard, but the problem with a lot of those guys is I watched them hoping they'd come to WWF, which most of them did because they never pushed them.

I regret the fact that they were bought out because given who they were beginning to finally push, coupled with the fact that the cancerous old timers were leaving, would have marked a possible turn around for the company down the line.
They also prob would have stolen at least one of the big attitude stars.

When disgruntled Austin walked away in 02 or other big releases, they'd have a place to go that wasn't as low rent as TNA.

The problem with things now in terms of te changeover of talent between promotions is that going to TNA is a quiet event and sort of a step down.

It's almost like being moved to the minors or being put in purgatory.

Back then, going to WCW or vice versa was like a major trade or free agency signing and it'd make a splash. If WCW was still around, it'd matter that Lashley RVD or Lesnar were free agents. It'd be far more unpredictable and interesting to see where Jericho ended up.
And even though Angle going to TNA made a splash, him showing up on Nitro would be far more eventful

I also miss 2000 wcw and shit like 3 count, team total package, the new blood, swerves to end all swerves on top of ultimate swerves that double swerve a triple swerve

and all kinds of shit that makes that era awesomely bad

I'm sure Hogan pinned him one time in 2003 during the Piper/Gowan/Mr America stuff.
