I am just re watching Raws alongside the Nitros and I am in autumn ‘98.
And it just seems that WCW have already given up. On Raw you had the Zamboni, concrete corvette and Austin hunting McMahon all pretty much on back to back Raws. Then in WCW at the same time they had Hogan ‘running for President’ and advertised PPV matches not happening during one of the worst PPV’s I’ve ever seen in World War 3. Plus Goldberg not even booked on the PPV as World Champ.
I know you can say that McMahon v Austin took over but it was white hot. Plus at least it revolved around the World title.
I know ‘because WCW’ but man they’ve just gave up. We’re they that much in the toilet in the ratings by then?
Sadly no. They were still doing huge numbers all the way up until the Russo regime. That’s what makes it all the worse.
