He didn\'t say. He just said that they would continue to run as a separate organization with a lot of cross-overs.

We will finally get to see that Stone Cold/Goldberg match that I have been waiting for. :D

This is awesome that the WWF has purchased WCW.

Likely scenario.

Wrestlemania - Rock Vs Austin.

Austin is on the verge of beating the Rock for the Title in a no DQ match. Out of no-where Goldberg comes and gives the biggest Spear ever on Austin letting rock regain the title. Leading to a huge feud Austin 316 vs Goldberg.

Oh please let this be :)

Oh, and check out the buyout at http://www.lordsofpain.net

Buying wcw would be a dumb move for vince. Why should he take on all those contracts. And why would he compete against himself. That seems kind of boastful and narotic to me. I think wwf should buy up the good cruiser weights so they can build a good light heavy weight division. Then buy up scott,bill, and The cat. And maybe a few more, but they don\'t need all those guys just would not makes sense. Vince already has lost money for him and nbc with xfl so taking on another losing business would not be good. Just strip wcw of the guys worth buying and let the rest go.

Would be an awful move? It\'s a done deal.
NEW YORK (CNNfn) - The World Wrestling Federation Entertainment Inc. agreed Friday to acquire rival World Championship Wrestling, ending a near 20-year rivalry.

Stamford, Conn.-based World Wrestling Federation Entertainment (WWF: Research, Estimates) now has global rights to the World Championship Wrestling brand, tape library and other intellectual rights.

TNN is anticipated to be the new home of WCW, a WWF spokesman said, and WCW will not air on TNT or WTBS. Cross-brand storylines may start as soon as Monday during the "WWF Raw is War" on TNN and Monday\'s final performance of "WCW Monday Nitro Live" on Turner Network Television.

The possiblitys are endless, but what happens if Vince screws up.  There wont be any other federation to watch..viewers will have no choice but to watch the WWF.  What Vince has done is going to change wrestling forever..this is a long term thing..I hope vince looks at it that way.

Last I heard it was tuesday and they had not bought them yet. Man it happen so fast o well.  I still think this is bad because wcw wrestling is bad. I seen better fights on playschool hards. I mean there whole quality of wrestling has to be revamped. I guess vince has all the power now. I liked it better when there where to two companies going to head to head. Man I wish wcw could have got that act strait.
