during the monday night wars i think both brands needed each other. without WCW, WWF would have sucked. and it works the other way too. but i felt that WWF was the better product. i live in the uk and wwf was better to its fans outside of america than wcw was. i switched between them from 97-98 but in 1999 i just thought WWE had better wrestlers and storylines. WCW was just painful to watch in 2001 as was ECW
