We always talk about the downfalls of WCW and/or NWO storyline. I never hear the point of the day Syxx/X-pac/Sean Waltman was fired. I know it may seem minor because he was never a main eventer but his firing in my humbel opinion really lead to the change from WCW to WWF if you think about it.
The nWo was cool. The outsiders, the wolf pac, even the whole group as a whole if you look at it, but the night after he was fired the outsiders squared off with hogan, hogan says he can't cut the mustard and huge line in the sand was drawn. The outsiders on one side and hogan/bishoff on the other. Not storyline wise but who was the group that you sided with, instead of the nwo as a whole. Outsiders were cool and hogan and bish were douchebags for the move. I've heard nash and hall were upset and wanted their releases and two of the top stars morale just said fuck it.
Waltman goes to WWF, he cuts one of the greatest promos ever imo and DX and the attitude era is given a huge momentum boost.
Lastly, everyone was going from wwf to wcw at this point for the money. I can't remember any big star before during the war that went from wcw to wwf. (maybe the radicals, but i don't think so) It showed that WWF was relevant and guys wanted to go back or to that company.
So turning point in the war or just a minor piece of history?
