WCW shutting down?

This is a quote from wcw.com,

"Effective Tuesday, March 27, WCW programming will begin a period of hiatus. During this hiatus, WCW will review its programming plans and determine the course of future WCW-branded entertainment events. More information will be released as it is made available."





If they are shutting down for good this is bad news. Competition allways breeds quality. And with ECW and now this, who\'s the WWF got left to beat?

As you can see by  the lack of responses to your post, nobody gives a hoot about WCW. That is why they are shutting down. With ECW and WCW both gone, and new Federation will no doubt come up, all those wrestlers have gotta work you know?

wcw sucks

wwf will pick up the good ones, and the others can work fast food

WCW indeed does suck.  There are maybe 2 or 3 guys like the Cat and Lance Storm that need contracts elsewhere.

If WCW comes back they need to get their act together because my sister and I had rougher fights when we were kids than what Turner shows.  Whoever was going to buy WCW probably decided to watch the show one day and realized it sucked, so they backed out.

I agree WCW does suck bad. But a new owner and Erick Bischoff in control could make the product better. All I\'m saying is a lack of competition is very bad. As for a new federation poping up. I don\'t see it happeneng any time soon.

XPW-too local
NWA- just the opposite, they are just too big to put together one show with one roster of wrestlers.

Should be an interesting few months for wrestling fans.

My money is on WCW going dark untill they find a new buyer. Buff Bagwell had an interview were he strongly hinted that they would go dark for a few months then come back completely changed.

WCW sucks, WWF rules, period.

WCW does suck really bad.  It seems like they get 20 new people every week and their story lines really suck.  So boring.  I like WWF a helluva lot better.

Yes, I agree. WCW sucks big time.

They blatantly waste talent and somehow always know just how to wreck a great new angle. There writers suck, their bookers suck, most of the WCW wrestlers suck. People may argue that WCW wrestlers look alot stronger than WWF wrestlers. The reason=major, major, major steriods usage. My god, some of those people look deformed they use so much steriods. Sure some WWF wrestlers may use steriods but at least they don\'t show it(well, except maybe for Chris Benoit).

WCW can go to hell. My god they suck. WWF rules. ECW is boring. XPW sucks. Here comes another monopoly, at least this one is good.

Wrestling... pfft. How queer. Let em all go on hiatus.

Thanks for your input.

Sorry Lucas, it\'s how all the wrestling threads turn out. Ethugg probably put down the sweater that he was knitting to let us know how he felt about wrestling. Thanks again for your input Thug.

Your both welcome. And the sweater turned out really neato!

Seriously, are you implying I\'m not manly because I don\'t like homoerotic, fake sports? (not to be confused with homoerotic real sports like American Football... )

WCW was actually better than WWF at ONE point. It was when the NWO came in and everybody seemed interested in that kind of story. WCW beat WWF in the ratings for over 60 consecutive weeks, thats pretty impressive.

But now WCW is just plain stuipid and extremely boring. They have some really good characters like Sting, Kevin Nash, Kidman,ect. It\'s a shame that all that talent has to go to waste. I hope WWF gets some more good wrestlers because I find thst it\'s also getting kind of boring lately.

LOL!:laughing: Nice burn.

I should of guessed Jumpman would be a wrestling fan...:rolleyes:

No, I was just implying that there really is no need to respond with something like that. You don\'t have to like wrestling but you also don\'t have to say something like that. I started this thread to talk about wrestling with anybody who is interested. If your not interested thats fine, just stay out of it.
