Booker's feuds with Rick Martel, Chris Benoit and Petty Saturn were great.

WWE really needs to get the rest of Nitro up on the Network ASAP. 97/98 Nitro was a spectacle to see with Crow Sting run, cruiserweights, Best of 7 series, Tag Division, undercard title scene, etc
Bischoff/WCW could've ate real well off the IWC around 2002/2003 (esp when Raw began declining in 2003) had he not panicked when Raw started mounting a comeback in the ratings wars in 1998. All he had to do was elevate the younger talent, turn the older dudes to part timers (like WWE does nowadays), and not be Hogan's bytch when Hogan doesn't get his way. WWE wasn't taking Hogan back in 1998/1999. They was about the young mans game at that time.
WCW still had Show, Jericho, Radicalz, Booker, etc in 1998. A few dinosaurs would've been pissed about the younger talent moving up the card but they were gonna stay for that guaranteed money and light work schedule WCW was known for cause they weren't taking a paycut and risk dying in the ring cause of the brutal WWE schedule to go elsewhere to Vince even if he did decide to take them from WCW. They could've basked in TNA in 4 years like a lot of them did eventually
WCW near the end was a lot of wasted opportunity which is sad cause WCW would've had a lane in the IWC years once the IWC really started booming thanks to the wider availability of the Internet and smartphones/social media. All they had to do was make it a few more years and could've ate off the internet with their back catalogue and newer, younger talent.
Jaime Kellner would've kept WCW on TNT/TBS had WCW actually been making a profit and not bleeding money. The drama aspect of pro wrestling could've blended in well with TNT's "We Know Drama" marketing campaign when they starting changing to their current format in 2002.
Monday Night Wars spilling into the Ruthless Aggression era would've been a sight to see. Kinda makes you wonder what could've been

I co-sign everything else you said but Kellner would have never kept WCW around. Kellner hated wrestling and wanted to make the Turner channels into mainstream TV networks and he considered wrestling lowbrow.
