I think as pro-wrestling fans we missed out on the biggest and best matches ever. The best era in wrestling was the late 90's monday night wars era where wwf competed against wcw in the ratings. Both companies were chock a block full of top names and as wrestling fans we only dreamt of what it might be like if the top names from opposing companies fought one another in a match. Then, the unthinkable happened. Wwf purchased wcw, and they started a huge wwf vs wcw storyline. Unfortunately it was only the wcw name they had purchased because the only wrestlers that went to wwf from wcw werent top names. There was ddp but wwf for some bizarre reason didnt use him in top matches and he left the company after a while and there was also Booker T who only became a top name in the last year of wcw's lifespan. Flair came later but was considered too old for wwf to take him serious in top matches even though wcw didnt, but Flair stuck around. Hogan came over and got used in top matches for a few months but they demoted him like Flair which pissed Hogan off so he left. Hall came over but was demoted after a month and left. Nash came for a few months and left. When Scott Steiner came he worked a couple top matches got demoted and left. When Piper came wwf considered him too old to be taken serious in matches even though wcw didnt. Golberg came for a year, but at least worked top matches in that time, however wwf fans booed his matches due to their wwf loyalty over wcw so he left. Macho man, Sting, Luger, Bret Hart, Ultimate Warrior, Sid Viscious (rumoured to be coming) and Jarrett never came. Even though most of these wrestlers above had worked for wwf in earlier years, it was before some of wwf's biggest stars reached their peak (hbk, mic foley, the rock, stone cold, triple h, kane, jbl, edge). Its like we just missed out on the ultimate wrestling dream which was wwf vs wcw due to wrestlers not wanting to work for wwf and wwf demoting wrestlers from wcw. Goldberg was the closest who got a years run with the wwf working in top matches, others we didnt see at all or just got small tastes of. Another taste is TNA, who's top stars closely resemble wcw's top stars just before they collapsed (Jarrett, Sting, Nash, Steiner, Hall, Booker T). When Angle, a former top wwf name, went to tna, it resembled one more taste of wwf vs wcw. Overall i felt as though we missed the lions share of what could have been wwf vs wcw, and got left with some scrappy bits of the odd match here and there. So bad luck pro-wrestling fans, we missed a huge g-spot in pro-wrestling history, possibly the biggest g-spot there has been or ever will be. Most likely as a result of ego's upsetting other ego's. Isnt it a shame how ego's cant be placed aside for the greater good.

  1. i really couldt take the time read all of that cause i am busy not to be mean


  2. IT would have been nice to see these matches, however due to the interpromotional agreements, the WCW vs WWF could never have occured without the two people behind the contracts making mends with the NWA. (Vince McMahon and Ted Turner). Both of these men left the NWA due to not wanting to partake in what is called "regional promotions". It was their vision of having national (and global) promotions that caused both parties to defunct accordingly. The good news is that sooner or later, this will happen, but not until there is some kind of new competitor with the WWE. Until then, we will be watching (unless the WWE does not let Shawn Michaels win a championship in the next year. Then I will not be watching at all.)  

  3. You are right we missed a lot of good ideas,story lines,and top draws.But look at the buisness side of things,if everyone's ego is so bigand they all deserve a top spot,which i belive you mean a title run,then where is the time?These guys would have had to drop the title a couple weeks after earning it so the next guy could get it and then it demphasizes their charcter makes them not look as good as they are.so part of me says s***w them with no patience.If you really look at it the TNA will do good for a while but wrestlers lifespan is not so high and a llot of their top names have no ability left.So it's only a matter of time til they are working backstage,or just done anyway.I think Vince is a very intelligent buisness man and he knows what he's doing.Don't get me wrong I really dig what you are saying,but you gotta look at the buisness side.

  4. to be honest i watched pro wrestling in the nineties and i can safely say that the monday night wars era wasnt that great i never actually liked wcw a few of its wrfestlers were ok. i think the attitude era was excellent but the best years of pro wrestling were like 2000 2001 2002 and maybe 2003 id have to say that wud have been something big is missed because there were some great superstars. the rock stone cold triple h undertaker american badass kane with the mask the hardy boys dudley boys edge and christian lita trish stratus and as much as i hate to admit even the radicals and rtc were fun to watch especially when they got their arses kicked eddie guerrero latinoheat chyna T&A the one billy gunn and too cool and rikishi the glasses thing where if they put sunglasses on a superstar then they would all dance together. even kurt angle was good if u wanted a laugh haha and lets not forget Y2J so no i dont think u really missed out from the 90s! most of the gd 90's stars where still in it later soooo!
