Yeah, everything seemed pretty awful in that time period where Nash was in charge. I seem to remember a match between Nash and Savage for the belt that I didn't think was absolute shitfest, other than that I don't have much of a memory for it.

I really did enjoy the Cruiserweights back then. They were one of the main reasons to keep watching back then.

Ya know, we rip on WWE for horrible names on PPVs, but WCW had some real clunkers too:
Sin Greed New Blood Rising Mayhem |

For the most part yes, but I didn't mind it aside from the ridiculous booking. TNA is the same thing as the end of WCW, there are some pretty good matches but storylines are pretty horrendous. One match that I though was pretty good was 3 Count vs. The Jung Dragons at New Blood Rising in a Ladder Match.

True the names were horrible, but I actually liked those events. Sin will only be known for Sid Vicious's leg injury, in my opinion the worst injury to ever happen in the ring. I mean Owen Hart eclipses everything of course ( Damn the Blue Blazer gimmick) but that injury just disgusted me and I still have trouble watching it, just imagine if that was one of us. Greed was the last WCW PPV and not really that bad to be honest watch Jason Jett (EZ Money) vs. Kwee Wee great opening match. New Blood Rising is one of my favorites from the end of WCW. Mayhem I liked because Bret Hart and Scott Steiner won their first World Heavyweight Championships at this event. |

During the first half there was a great batch of cruiserweight matches involving people like Rey Mysterio, Billy Kidman, Juventud Guerrera, Psychosis, Blitzkrieg, Mikey Whipwreck etc.
Chris Benoit and Bret Hart's matches. Lance Storm and Booker T had some good matches in 2000. Can't think of any right now to be honest, but despite all it's faults WCW did have some great matches towards the end. |

They looked to be turning the corner, the only problem looking back was that they had to seriously lower their production values so they looked weak in comparison to WWF.

Back in the day I though the Triple Cage was the greatest thing ever. If I watched it again now I would probably change my mind. I do remember loving the War Games 2000 match though, although I was 13 at the time.

Like a lot of WCW ideas, the triple cage could have been epic if it hadn't been flushed in the execution.

Okay, this may be too obvious a choice, but how about the final match of WCW, Sting vs Ric Flair. That was a good, memorable one.

FTR, I remember this match, but mostly for Daniel's botch when he landed on his head. This was the first time I saw something like this and it clicked with me in non-kayfabe like 'holy shit! he fucked up that move!'. |
