Things that WCW got (Alex) Wright
I've been watching a lot of WCW from 2000 as I missed it around this period (Nash as commissioner = lol) and got me thinking, we talk about the stupid things to come from WCW towards the end, but what do you think were the things they did get right?
Obvious answers are nWo, Hogan Heel turn, Goldberg, but I'm looking for the often overlooked good things from WCW, like the cruiserweights. |

Honestly, I was shocked at how over Sid was after his match with Benoit. Best I've ever seen from Sidney.

This is just an awesome fuckin match. I remember around this time the lower card guys were half killing themselves in matches (yung dragons, three count, natural born thrillers) and then the main eventers were having 3 minute main events |

I remember I would watch the first hour/ hour and a half of Nitro and then switch over to RAW for the main events. I thought WCW had a better undercard, but in the main events... it wasn't even close

Booker T, Steiner, and Benoit's push as champions. WCW finally realized they needed to push new stars for the company even though Benoit's was more of a symbolic push while Steiner's and Booker's came way too late to save the company.

I agree about Scott Steiner and Booker T's reign, but in their case, it's better late than never.

I preferred WCW to WWF and I was young and pretty much loved every single thing that was going on from like mid '97 until the end. Haven't seen any of it since, so it's still all good in my mind.
