Hogan, Russo & Bischoff are the reason why WCW died. Everybody likes to put the blame on Nash because it's popular on the Internet to hate him, but he didn't get the book until February of 99, before that, Hogan, Flair & Bischoff called the shots. And who did he actually squash besides Wrath? He put Rey Mysterio, Konnan & DDP over he just didn't get along with everybody because he could be an ******* a lot.
Don't sleep on K-Dawg he's actually very busy jn the wrestling world even now in America and Mexico
Honestly it was the money first. WCW business was always a wreck but the NWO run from 96-99 carried them barely through it all but the fact that they lasted as long as they did was a minor miracle. The last 2 years were trash because of what was building feom before Bischoff even started running things
Mid to late 90s WCW was outstanding until it ran off the rails. I think Raven's Flock should've gotten a bigger push. Lodi's star quality was criminally ignored and wasted by Bischoff.
The booking later hurt but WCW by that time was already on life support and the Time Warner merger basically was WCW suicide because the bosses didn't even like wrestling. Wrestling today though is in many ways probably the best position its been in since the mid to late 90s indie wise, more wrestlers have control and make more money and business wise for rhe most part everybody is doing well just when WWE isn't killing it it makes everybody look worse
Raven himself used to talk about how angry he was because he didnt have creztivew control over the flock
Bischoff took something that could've been great and turned it into a punchline. He never let them be more than a clique of jobbers. No vision.
He really only cared about the highly paid top guys which is a whoooooole other conversation
He always struck me as a guy who got a little bit of power and money, started doing rails like there was no tomorrow and then ran his operation into the ground.
He was actually really smart and built WCW up from I think 91 when they should've been bankrupt to a dominant power jn 5 years but then it became a problem. The money they gave those wredtlersw and the amount of power they had is mindboggling if you really look up how it was
