Question for the blog

By Scott Keith on 19 November 2014

Hi Scott,

So, the Monday Night Wars, then – the era, not the TV show.

I've been a WWF fan since 1990, but I'm starting to think that maybe the wrong side won.

Were these long 13+ years the Invasion, HHH vs Everyone, and Cena vs Orton, really worth what we lost?

The big news these days is the Performance Center – the Powerplant on, uh, steroids – and the Network. Simply put, WCW + Turner = pretty damn good coverage.

You'd still get the best of the indies coming in (Punk, Bryan, name 'em).

TNA would never have existed.

Your thoughts?

If you think that WCW wouldn't have managed to self-destruct even in a monopoly, you're fooling yourself. They were doomed to die and I'd rather the wrestling world be at least controlled by someone with a track record of success.
