The day you knew WCW was screwed...

Kind of what the title says. What show, event, or day did you know WCW was going to go under. For me, it's simple...

July 6, 1998 - Nitro
United States Champion Bill Goldberg vs. World Heavyweight Champion Hollywood Hogan

THEY AIRED IT ON FREE TV! It could have/should have/would have been one of the biggest PPV matches of all time...but they aired it on free TV just so they could get back on top of the ratings for one week. Then there was nothing left. I knew the second the match was announced that was it. The end of the line. Billy Goldberg was undefeated, and as such either he was going to topple Hogan and become "Da Man", with the probleming being as soon as he DID lose there would be nothing left for him. If Hogan won, well it would be just another nWo Hogan victory and and their only potential star would have been crushed. Basically, no matter what happened, it was going to be screwedville. I think they made that right choice and the choce that was going to extend it's life a little longer, but I knew WCW was only going down from that moment. Though it took a lot longer to die off than I thought it would...

With that said though, there is no belt in the industry that HBK could win that would add to his career. HBK's career is built around him being HBK, not winning a bunch of titles.
