Let's Watch WCW 1996

98 WCW was terrible. You had that garbage with Warrior, Nash started taking over booking, and was it that year'/ Slamboree Bischoff had his "match" with Vince? I love 96-97 WCW, but that shit got hilariously bad really quick

Was Nash in charge when basically the whole WCW roster was in the NWO or NWO Wolfpac...that was just terrible....and let's not forget LWO!

One of WCW's bright spots:

Kimberly - Torrie - Stacy

It started out decent imo but once the NWO split into different groups and after Goldberg won the title and barely defended it, yeah it got really stupid.

I remain baffled that they had Warrior under contract and just let him sit. If nothing else they could have dragged him for a couple of other "dream" matches and try and draw some value from him.

Hell at worst stick him on Thunder to try and prop up the ratings or something.
