So the period of about 1999-2001 in WCW is usually used as the benchmark for bad wrestling, but there were still several talented wrestlers employed during that time, so there had to be an occasional gem in there, right?
What are some matches/PPVs that might be worth checking out?

Aside from Stings match and Mark Madden, New Blood Rising is a pretty solid show

I haven't watched much from that era, but I do recall there being a fun Six Way Cruiserweight match that opens SuperBrawl Revenge. Granted there were a fair amount of botches, but it was fun.

Goldberg vs. Scott Steiner from Fall Brawl 2000. The whole Bash at the Beach 2000 fiasco is worth a watch just to see it. I enjoyed Sid's run as the millennium man. Also WCW's hardcore division ranged from pretty enjoyable to classic (see anything Norman Smiley ever did). Theres plenty more but that's off the top of my mind. WCW gets a bad rap for this time period, an rightfully so, but there's some good stuff if your bored enough to look.

The Nitro with Lance Storm vs Booker T for the WCW title was a pretty solid match with a very good story (even if it was just a one and done type match).

The cruiser weight/cruiser weight tag team stuff from late 2000-2001 is all highly entertaining

I enjoyed Sting and Vampiro's feud. Really the only upside of the New Blood angle, in my opinion.

Steiner vs Goldberg @ Fall Brawl 200 is a cracker. the crowd is crazy into it and these 2 totally manhandle one another.
this match was the reason I started the "last classic match you watched" thread way back in 08/09.
I watch it twice or 3 times a year....BELTER.

I seem to remember a four way match in 99 being good, DDP, Flair, Hogan and Goldberg. Spring Stampede.
