If you were the man in charge of WCW before it's downfall, what would of have you done differently?

Nothing you could do with TNT and TBS cancelling all of your programming like @EgyptianBasses said. Best bet is to do what Jeff Jarrett did and start my own promotion.
Change that stupid logo they had towards the end
I would have kept that Sting VS Vampiro fued going (I thought it was dope)
Fire Russo
Kept the Mexican cruiserweights
Not let of Guerrero, Saturn, Malenko, Beniot
probably some more shyt comes to mind later but that's all I can think about for now

I WOULDN'T CHANGE A THING, BROTHER!
- Try to get the hell off of Turner (future reasons)
- Get a deal with TNN (Soon to be Spike)
- Focus on the younger talent
- Take a huge lost getting Hogan, Nash, Hall, etc out of the promotion
- Start from scratch
Bottom line, focus on making WCW how it was before Hogan (Early 1994), where everything started to make sense with how the talent was booked, along with some essential ideas such as world tournaments, leagues, and internet only shows. WCW was suppose to be the principle of professional wrestling, so I would treat it as such, while the other promotion focuses on shock TV.
I don't think they'd have sold a money maker, even if they did, better decisions in its last 2 years would have kept it around as a tv property at least even to this day. I believe if WCW & ECW had gotten through 2001 and got to 2002 with high speed internet and DVDs, they'd be around today

This is extreme hindsight at play here, but I could've theoretically done a brand split with Nitro and Thunder, elevated the midcard like Benoit and Raven, and then had platforms to launch talent developed in the Power Plant without immediately hotshotting them into major angles like they did with the Natural Born Thrillers. Basically, be like WWE before WWE but with a bigger budget
Do a gigantic Austin vs Hogan PPV, duh.

breh, I'm with you. the concept of the Natural Born Thrillers was dope but they should of slow burned it a bit and have Jindrak/O'Haire rise up the ranks in the tag, then have Mike Sanders win the tv strap and then slowly put them together and then have the Nash cosign.

Hulk signing without creative control or Austin falling to the leg drop?
They would have worked it out. Hogan did big money for them a few years later, it certainly would not have been an issue to slot Hogan in there and do some huge matches in 1999. Same with Macho. Hogan wouldn't really have the leverage to refuse to lay down for Austin.
