There shyt pretty much has been sold out at HT.

Only one spot had a large quality of YB/Cody shirts they stocked that day, but the main logo one only had 4 sizes left.

BC is pretty much all about the merch at this point, might as well break them up and move on with The Elite

The gimmick of the NWO was not killed because Eric Bischoff had no other successful idea so he predictably ran into the ground

nWo didn't need to die at Starrcade 97 but it was time for Hogan to eat the L cleanly and for them to start evolving leadership etc within the group.


At its peak it was so hot that it'll always have a special place but there definitely was more mileage to be had with the original incarnation imo


That bulletclub logo is just iconic. Even a non wrestling fan can see it and think "damn that's cool"

Oh so Russo couldn't come up with anything better either right?
:francis:

:what:

Not sure what you’re talking about, DREWsso in the WWF had 10 angles better than nwo, when he arrived at WCW it was already a sinking ship which he still managed to increase the ratings from 2.5 to 3.5 in 6 months. Numbers which the WWE wish they drew.

He did. You don't remember the Millionaires Club and Hugh G Rection leading the Misfits In Action?

Haven't done one since tribute to the troops. It's July.

Reigns, Ambrose, and Rollins have all been around each other at one time or another since then, with Cole constantly giving his "remember when they were in the legendary Shield?" shtick

Oh so making David Arquette the Heavyweight champion had nothing to do with the decline of WCW at all huh?

WCW died because it had no clear leader but instead was ran by a corporation. If it had one true leader like Vince, it would still be around today. It was one of if not the top rated show on TNT when it went off the air. NWO could still be hot. The Horseman was hot since 85 til damn near mid 2000s.

It hurt the perception of them, but they were the highest rated show on their network even at the end. What killed them was the aol/time Warner merger because one of the heads of it just flat out didn't want pro wrestling on their network. Jackass left the network less than 2-3 years later too :snoop:
