KB Busts Up Another Myth: What Killed WCW

[elsayedhussin]

Without shitty management, the WCW would have been thriving when AOL/TW picked up TNT. Methinks had WCW been doing well, AOL/TW would have sung a different tune regarding the WCW.

Actually however you want to twist it, it WAS the merger.

While it was a perfect storm of a lot of things done wrong by WCW. WCW was the edgier show but AOL/TW wanted a more family style like Raw does today Raw came back with the Atitude Era and WCW was lost on how to book against it. I believe Kellner was a WWF mole and he had power at AOL so when the Fusion deal came up he made sure it didn't happen, making it easier for Vince to get it for nothing. AOL said it was wasn't the right thing to have on their network to cover the back room deal.
